Description: Dennis McEldowney was born with a heart condition in 1926 which was usually fatal. However, he was an exception, and after a restricted, but otherwise normal childhood, increasing breathlessness closed in, until he was confined to his bedroom. At the age of 24 he was able to have newly developed surgery at Green Lane Hospital, which moved him into a whole new world.
