I was born with a broken heart. Literally.
Transposition of the great arteries, is what it is called when the aorta is connected to the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery is connected to the left ventricle — the opposite of a normal heart's anatomy.
And when I was born no surgical fix for it had yet been invented. But at age 6, thanks to a team of brilliant doctors, the fix was found and my broken heart was reset to factory specs.
