I had 3 open heart surfers in 2017, a double bypass, and stints, and then a LVAD a pump placed next to my heart. Now I am waiting for a new heart.

You can’t use your upper body to get up or lift heavy things because the chest bone has bf healed yet. It rought at first.

Not OP, after the surgery I was on my tablet in a few days, it does take time t heal.

The first thing they want you to do is to start walking, I was walking within 36 hours of my surgery. You do feel week at first but after a few months you get stronger.

What is your ejection fraction rate, after my heart attack it was 23 and they placed a left venterxal assit device (LVAD]in my chest while I wait for a new heart.

Was there any talk of needing an LVAD?
