UCLA softball player Stevie Wisz put off undergoing heart surgery so she could play softball for a Bruins team that won the NCAA title this season.
Afterward, Wisz’s dream came true, when she had a conversation with Jansen, a player she’s followed closely throughout her career. The conversation with Jansen was reassurance that she made the right choice several months ago to delay her heart surgery to enjoy moments like this one.
“We’re both heart patients,” Jansen said. “Just to hear what she went through is tough. It’s not a good feeling. It inspired me seeing how tough she is. At 15, Stevie underwent a 13-hour open-heart surgery to insert a new valve into her heart. Fast forward to January 2019, when doctors informed Wisz there was another leak in her aorta and she would need another open-heart surgery.
“I sit down and [write in a] journal to try to calm myself down and reassure myself that the surgery is going to be good for me,” Wisz said. “I know it's going to be hard, but once I look back on it, it’s going to be life-changing because I’m finally going to be healthy again.”
