Hi Sarah,

Thank you for confiding in me about your medical condition and I will keep that confidential, of course. I do know what it feels like to be in the minority (having grown up Jewish and of course homosexuality) so I feel I can say that I identify somewhat with you having to bear the load of a secret.

Be well,

Aidan

        Aidan,

 

        As long as we are in the midst of discussing medical matters, I feel I should tell

        you I DO have a pre-existing condition, which is called Situs Inversus. Basically

        what that means is that my heart is on the opposite side of where it should be and

        has been since birth. But I have had no symptoms and ironically have been praised

        for having a big heart :).

 

        But possibly this could infect our insurance rates? I don’t know.

        Please don’t tell anyone – I am self conscience about it and I haven’t even told

        Lance, my own boyfriend! :0-)

        Thanks!

 

        Sarah
