As I typed the title I stopped for a bit since my 28 year heart saga came rolling back to me in ebbs and tides. It is overwhelming to me and so emotional. I do have only one regret. I had my first OHS at the age of 29 so my children were young. Going on to having 4 heart and one lung surgery I do regret the fierceness of protection I placed on my children so not to worry them. They are grown. amazing women and mothers now and I still smile and gloss over how I am doing. I feel I have not shared with them the most difficult part of my life. I will now be much more honest with them and let them now worry and let them begin to take more care of me. They deserve that.
