This article is so 100 percent about how I feel, especially the having children. I was always told no but I was young and it wasn’t something I really thought about. When I met my husband I had a drs appointment and we discussed the issue deeply and it was a no. When I told my future husband he was absolutely fine with it. I do however feel that I probably could had on child, but I always follow drs advice. I’m 57 now, and I think doctors now versus then are are more open to us having children.
Thank you for posting this story. I was a blue baby in ‘58. Had OHS for pulmonary stenosis in ‘60. No sports for me growing up, although I wanted to be on the track team. I never heard of an ACHD doctor until I began getting SOB walking up hills 2 years ago. I’ve learned a TON since. Pending OHS for new valve is scary, but I’m preparing myself as best as I can. Would like to find someone in my area (No Cal) that has had similar.
This might be my favorite interview so far. Leah's perspective on her scar, her frustration, and many other things resonate deeply. I also love the reference to her Jewish name and its meaning!
