Thanks alot...that seems to make sense. I know it is a "ballooning" on the wall of a vessel that can leak and rupture. A lot of people get advance warning of it so they can have elective surgery, but Gord didn't have
that benefit. In fact the actor, George C.
Scott knew he had one, but never did anything about it, and it killed him. An aneurysm seems to fit. If it is indeed that, I can see why Gord and his family would prefer to say it another way...
the connotation is not good...but most people who catch it before it gets too bad, go on to live normal lives, they just have to monitor things more closely.
