About Me

I was born with a VSD. Had repair at age 7. Starting having pulmonary valve problems in mid 20s lead in to balloon valvuloplasty at age 25. Then had it replaced in 2017 at age 45. I had renewed energy and even did a triathalon. Now I'm having leaking again its only been 3 years. I thought it would last almost 10 years.. .
