About Me (In My Own Words)
I was born a "Blue Baby" on 14th January 1969 in Plymouth, Devon, UK and was diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis with a Diastolic Murmur.
I had my repair performed in the heatwave summer of 1976 at the Brompton Hospital, London, UK
Things were quite "normal" for years although I wasn't allowed to play games at school.
In 1987 we found out the gristle and the hole had appeared again and was booked in for my next surgery again the newly named Royal Brompton Hospital, London, UK.
My surgeon found my Aortic valve had not worn well and was so severe to save, so had a Homograft Aortic Valve Replacement done.
