I'm 42, born with Tricuspid Atresia. I've had three operations, and really, I shouldn't even be here. And there are two million other Congenital Heart Survivors out there besides me. <BR/><BR/>But every year, I hear about every type of heart disease *except* CHD. It's frustrating. <BR/><BR/>SteveSteveChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302771359864536384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-76762788156028313902009-02-06T09:52:00.000-06:002009-02-06T09:52:00.000-06:00I think that would be wonderful! :)I think that would be wonderful! :)rlbateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236331355857884458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18943510.post-54902569234206279022009-02-06T09:04:00.000-06:002009-02-06T09:04:00.000-06:00Wes,We think alike.

After yesterday's post, I did a Google images search for "man red swimsuit" for the same purpose.<BR/><BR/>As you can imagine, I got all manner of women in slinky swimsuits, Baywatch red and other, but no suitable men. I guess the lack of male representation extends well beyond the bounds of cardiology.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work,<BR/><BR/>JayJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897176780069403370noreply@blogger.com
