How To Make LVAD Life Easier

This blogging area is open to all people who have some relation to LVAD’s.  It is intended to be a place we share the things that make our life easier.  Including the lives of our caregivers. I welcome medical professionals, family, and others to read and post also.  I will start it out with a few of the things that dramatically changed my life for the better.  If you do have a question about this area, click on the contact button at the bottom of the page and ask.  My only request is we keep this blog a positive life improving area.
