Now that Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) is becoming a better known therapy option, articles like this one do a great job of telling the story. I wish I could say I would be explanted, but the truth is the quality of life I have with my LVAD (nicknamed Denny), is worth it knowing I will get a new heart sometime, hopefully soon.
Met another heart failure patient today, someone who is going directly to transplant. He and I might be buddies before too long. And, he knows how to play poker (hopefully spades too).
