Anjali Malhotra, a 68-year-old retired school...
Anjali Malhotra, a 68-year-old retired school principal, had always been active, managing her diabetes and hypertension diligently. For months, she dismissed a persistent, throbbing pain behind her left knee as arthritis. It wasn't until she developed a painful, cold, and pale foot that her daughter insisted on an ER visit. An ultrasound revealed a large popliteal artery aneurysm with a dissection, threatening the blood supply to her lower leg. Her cardiologist, Dr. Rao, explained that without a stent graft procedure to seal the aneurysm and repair the torn vessel wall, she risked losing her leg. Anjali was terrified; her independence was her pride. The procedure itself, done under local anesthesia, was painless, though she felt anxious pressure. The recovery was challenging, strict bed rest initially, then gradual walking with a walker, all while managing wound care and blood thinners. Six months later, the color and warmth have returned to her foot, and she's walking her garden path again, slowly but surely. The journey from fear of amputation to grateful relief has been profound. She now volunteers to speak at a senior center about listening to your body.
