Anne2 talks about the challenges she faced growing up with a heart condition and life-long follow up.
Transcript
At the age of 14 it was discovered that I had a congenital issue. They discovered a murmur and sub-aortic stenosis there was no real event for me. They followed me for 50 plus years before that decided that I should have surgery to have this corrected. Growing up it was difficult in that I couldn’t take part in a lot of activities, Phys. Ed. classes, running, etc. So it limited me that way.
