LVAD... Left Ventricular Assist Device

THIS BLOG POWERED BY THE THORATEC HEARTMATE II LVAD:















PARTIAL HEART PUMP = LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE = LVAD = THE HEARTMATE II



THE LVAD ALLOWED ME to go HOME and conquer my normal and newest tasks once again.



Thank you Columbia-Presbyterian... Dr Naka and his Surgery Team, LVAD Nation, Dr Bijou & Dr Bonoan, Dr Mascitelli and Dr Shulman-Marcus!!!



AND TO THE SCORES OF PHYSICIANS, NURSES, PROFESSIONALS AND PEOPLE THAT PUSHED ME ALONG THE WAY... FORWARD.



Thank You God For I Am Blessed!

A STENT

Dreamed of mud-jello cake on the beach! LOL WTFrig? i woke up to a half-a-mouthfullll of sticky blood :) Its due to the MEDS designed to thin my blood/not to POP a clot (as they say LOL).

    With these stents, the golden rule is to keep ur cholesterol levels as low as possible! Its a good mission to Follow.

    Sometimes stents can clog from meds taken ...as well. Look it up
