Yaz some things we take for granted. I spent 5 weeks in a hospital bed and forgot how to walk and take a dump. The physio had to teach me how to walk! Once I started walking I had bowel action. Taking my first dump was so therapeutic Yoh! Almost felt like an orgasm!

The LVAD has restored my cardiovascular function. I could literally do a 24 hour call right now. The last time I felt this fresh was in highschool. I can’t believe I lived for the past 10 years with an ejection fraction of less than 20%!
