Time Bomb: A Survivor's Story of Recovery from Multiple DVTs and an Underlying Aortic Aneurysm - Paperback

by Kim McDonell (Author)

Time Bomb is a compelling account of multiple DVT and aneurysm survival. Spanning sixteen years after a life-altering car crash, Time Bomb explores the connection between recurring instances of deep vein thrombosis after long-haul flights and the subsequent discovery of a 5.5 by 7cm aneurysm looming ominously on Kim McDonell's ascending aorta. Journey with Kim as she details her experience with persistent pain in the region of her heart and the missed opportunities to connect this pain with the growing emergency that it was signalling. In this insightful book, Kim shares the details of her journey from diagnosis through surgery to recovery.
