It is perfectly fine to rant about this, trust me. I am glad you lived to grow up, and we all got to know you - without that surgery, who knows! And while you cannot participate in some of the things you would like to, you are more fortunate than many, many people. I would never list your illness as something to describe you, rather think of it as an obstacle you are overcoming every day you wake up and face another day!

And the irregular heartbeat is not necessarily permanent, either, could be just a blip. Remember we all love you, and while the muscle itself may be a bit defective, your "heart" works just fine!
