Anyone here living with heart issues ?

I’m 23 and was born with congenital heart disease. I’ve already had three sternotomies and was told I’ll need another open heart surgery soon.

I sometimes feel really alone because most people my age can’t relate. I also live with nerve pain from my previous surgeries.

Are there other women here with CHD or who’ve had open heart surgery? I’d appreciate hearing your experiences 🤍
