strapping in junior

I received my HeartMateII lvad on Nov. 10, 2010 and am doing great.

When I drive any distance, I strap the lvad bag to the passenger seat with the seat belt, so it won't fall off the seat. This aids driving without the bag sitting on my lap. I pull the seat belt through the carry bag handle to stabilize it, and lay the bag down flat. Works really great, is out of the way, but also is safe.
