    When I was younger, and even to this day I have always enjoyed sweets, and candy. One day, as a child, I was in the living room by myself eating lifesavers; the hard candy type. The way I would eat the lifesavers would be to suck them until they were not as hard and then bite them into smaller pieces to swallow. However, before I was able to bite into it while sucking on it I accidentally swallowed it. Once it was stuck in my throat I panicked because no matter how many times I tried to swallow it would not go down. I went to go get my mom who was thankfully home in her room. Once I got her she was panicking as well concerned about the fact that I was choking. She then called my Dad and asked him what to do, He then told her to calm down and get some water for me and told her to tell me to drink slowly, and keep drinking until it melted.

At this point in my life I was still a little nervous about going to my cardiologist and the hospital, but at such a young age most kids are afraid of the doctor and hospital. Every appointment I went to in my early elementary school years I would become extremely nervous. Arriving at the waiting room I would wait with thoughts rushing through my head of what the doctor would say, whether or not I need a surgery or an MRI that coming year. For several years nothing had to be done. Until one day my cardiologist said I needed an open heart surgery. I was frightened to the thought of having to be put under. The surgeons cutting me open, cracking my ribs, and changing my old valve with a pork hind valve. My parents however would always comfort me telling me that, “to not think about it you will be under for the whole time and we will be there when you wake up.” After waking up from my surgery in the Phoenix Children’s Hospital I was relieved to find out the procedure went perfectly fine, ten years, the doctors said the heart valve would work until another discussion on surgery would occur.
