She remembers having difficulty trying to get her breath when running and pains in her chest. She had her first operation in 1972 very painful had her sternum broken and turned around and a metal bar put inside her for six months. She had another problem which was more concerning to her being a young girl. Did have that corrected and several more operations through the years some were good and some were not.
