When I was three I had heart surgery. The reason I had heart surgery is because I had a hole in my heart. They used a device that was not yet approved by the FDA. When they went in to do the surgery the device called a helix device released too soon and got stuck. They had to tear it out. This traumatic experience is the first memory I have. When they tore the helix device out it made the hole bigger. So they went in again and it was not as big as the hole so there was still some of the hole not covered.
The doctor said, “There still are some small holes but they should be fine. I want you to come back every three years for a checkup on your heart.”
But right after my surgery was very traumatic.
It was some time in the middle of the night
