I glad you posted because I'm human and it's a great story. Just get better and write some more.

No kidding - it sounds like House MD was on the case. She was lucky to survive.
It is interesting that she had cardiac surgery as an infant. It does remind me of the situation of an acquaintance where the patient had cardiac problems as an infant/toddler that were fixed and then essentially moved on until they suddenly dropped dead (while apparently fit and healthy) in their early twenties. One one hand you'd think gee, maybe if you had such a rough start they would follow you up with a super-duper checkup every few years or so. On the other hand, I guess when the invincibility of youth sets in, no apparently healthy person wants to go to the doctor and relive their past.
Edit: sorry - s/she/you, didn't realise the HN comment was by the original author.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your friend.
I have had cardiac check-ups at least once a year for my whole life. In several instances, new problems were found at one of the check-ups and the wheels were set in motion to mend things. Further, when I was in hospital for the cardiac arrest, the bulge in my aorta was discovered by accident.
I live in the UK. Perhaps the NHS are more will to keep tabs on people than private health services in other countries.

It's funny feeling like the doc has you open in gdb or something. I had my aortic root and a valve replaced a few years ago. However, I had been monitored for years prior, so I avoided the surprise you got. Anyways, glad you came through ok. The trauma of surgery becomes just another inconvenience from the past with a year or two of hindsight.
