Ber peacock I had never heard of an lvad until I got sent to the university of minnesota. They said I needed it to live until transplant could happen. And today I'm glad I went that route. Today I'm celebrating my first year post transplant and I'm back to work and feeling great.

Wow ! I’m in with a group of people ! I’ve never heard of LVAD that’ll give me something to google and learn about

After surgery it is like open heart surgeries. I felt better after i woke and the tubes removed. I had energy and could breath. My first walk was painful but i was able to walk farther than i had in over a year. After the chest heals you by that time have a new normal with the dressing changes. And the medications become a normal routine the hardest part is the coumadin. Or warfren management and not to eat green vegetables or eat the same amount every day. For me it saved my life.

I could've wait. I think my emotions made the decition to do the op. Too early. But Gods time is not my time..
