New Look On Life!

I got my lvad on Oct 12 2012. My life was going downhill from 2008 until i got it. Now i'm better than ever and have returned to normal activities. It takes awhile to be able to return to some of the things that you were use to doing but all you have to do is follow what the Dr's tell you to do and to work the lvad into your life and not your life around the lvad. I workout 5 days a week and go fishing (on the bank) 6 days a week. I'm 54 yrs old and feel like a teenager again. I love talking about my new life and the lvad so feel free to ask me any questions.

Hey Hustler,

I am so happy to hear a great positive experience with LVAD, know it is not easy, but I wish you could meet my husband, he too has one, and loves to fish....It is good to hear you are in a GOOD place in life. That in itself is a gift!!! Take care, Hope
