With your aneurysms, did you just get invited onto the screening program and that's how you knew that you had an abdominal aneurysm? It was several years ago and I suspect, I can't, I couldn't, I was trying to remember why I got into that screening program, but I think I must have had some sort of contamination something else I don't know a CT scan or something for some other issue and they spotted it and perhaps because of my age they checked anyways they thought well we'll have a look while we're there and so yeah and that was several years ago and I used to just go along to the screening and every six months or a year whichever it was I can't remember now and it was all very simple and painless and nothing developed so it was all quite reassuring and I've since then sort of told other guys to you know make sure you get yourself checked because you don't know you know I'm totally unaware of it.
