WHEN DRIVING WITH A LVAD
Tue, 09/03/2013 - 6:41PMJOHN AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED 45 YEARS, HE GOT HIS LVAD IN 2010, HE DRIVES DOING SHOPPING, GETTING BLOOD WORK DONE ETC. HE CARRIES A CELL PHONE. WE ALSO LOVE TAKING TRIPS. THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH AND CARRY IN THE CAR.
1. MADE UP A FOLDED WITH ALL HIS INFORMATION, INCLUDING ALL THE MEDICINS, WHO HIS DOCTORS ARE, WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY, AND ALL THE PHONE CONTACTS FOR FAMILY. ALOS ON EACH OF THE VISORS I PUT THE "LVAD" CARD AND ON THE BACK IS THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE LVAD HOSPITAL. I ALSO DID UP A SMALL USB PORT WHICH I PUT ON THE VISOR WHICH HAS 2 FOLDERS, 1 FOR ME AND 1 FOR JOHN, THIS HAS ALL OUR MEDICAL INFORMATION AND FAMILY PHONE CONTACTS. I DO BELIEVE I COVERED ALL THERE IS IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR ACCIDENT. MARILYN NEWMAN
