Either way, it's not a huge deal. Most likely they won't have to fix it (if there is one, have to go back to find out for sure in a month ish) if the hole is small enough, and if they do have to fix it, it's not open heart surgery or anything. They stick a catheter in your hip (???) and go to your heart and open an umbrella thing. Not painful apparently and without anesthetic.

Either way it is kinda scary. I hate medical stuff. At least it's not life threatening or with any impact on life other than head aches anyway.


Haha. She said it's fine to keep biking and stuff, just no rock climbing. What a shame.
