That's great, not that you have a heart problem, but the fact that you're still alive and that you've beat the odds.

@sophrai: not totally true, but she hasn't ever told us what the problem was. Some congenital defects do correct on their own, others do not and do require surgery!

@samueltyler2: I'm grateful for the practice of medicine which actually IS beneficial. I'm so glad you've beaten the odds.
