On August the 29th, 2012 I had my LVAD implanted, at the Cleveland Clinic. in the past I could not even turn over in bed without gasping for a breath, walk to my car or anything, even taking a shower i had to rest. BUT after my impant I can cut the grass climb the stairs and I JUST this past saturday I walk in a 5K and completed it in under 1 hour.... I feel so blessed to have this LVAD.
