mrwunrfl - I would ordinarily apply the gridle to the head, with a small amount of force. Then lie down with it on your tummy.
Sorry linsou- but our neighbor had an abdominal aneurysm burst and he did not survive. I think you should talk to a couple of doctors, instead of a couple of travelers. What do we know? We post on Fodors!!

Good! Glad you checked with your doctor. He's the one that can see where it is, how big it is and how likely one of that type is to burst. If he has no problem with your traveling, don't fret.
I understand how you feel....my doctor told me that I had a small hernia. Then she went on to tell me not to worry. It was where it would never give me any trouble. Well, thank you very much.....I would have just as soon not known it was there if it was never going to be a problem. Everytime I get a twinge in that area, I panic and think about the "what if" factor.
