About Me (In My Own Words)
Hi my name is Sue Knowles I am 45 years old and I was born with a congenital heart condition. I had a hole in the heart and a blocked valve. The details of this are quite sketchy as my 76 year old Mother can't really remember much details and my Father passed away when I was 10 years old.
I believe I had surgery twice within days if each other when I was a baby and again when I was about 6 years old. This was to repair the hole & valve.
I have a few memories of this, but again a little sketchy.
1. Waking up in ICU and having dry mouth
2. Having my stitches out
3. Harold Wilson (the then Prime Minister) visiting the ward
I have had no problems throughout my Adult life and have been a Police Officer for the past 22 years.
Last year I began I feel very breathless and tired. I then went to the Drs and the rest is history as they say. I have been told by my Dr I require valve replacement. This is all very early days for me
