Change Your Latitude 
I had to be pulled out of the swim in ’17 and I just found out why. We could not understand it then and I would like to get the message to the nice Dr with the British accent who I spoke with at the time. I was found to have a left atrial myxoma that was removed 10 days ago. Dr said that had been causing deterioration in my exercise over the last year. Goal, now, is to train for ’18 swim once Dr releases me! Can you get this to her?
