"From sickness that drags on,heart attacks,traffic accidents,murder,old age,etc"


I grew up there, LEAVING in my early teens and LIVING in the US for over 30 years. I developed Rhematic fever that resulted in damaged heart valve. At the age of 30 I endured/survived 2 open heart surgeries, Ross procedure (switching of valves). Being there the illness was hard since there was no hospital in my town. I needed meds, that we could have afforded, but was not available for joint pain. What doesn't kill you sure makes you stroger. My cardiolgist thinks I can live forever, no thanks:-)
