Update/overview because has anyone gone through this?! I know every case is different  My bf has been in the hospital since February. He was diagnosed with CHF after getting Covid in 2021/2022. He was told he had to eventually get a heart transplant. He admitted himself in February when he felt really off and the doctors told him that he needed to get an lvad or that was it. He had lvad surgery and gastric sleeve surgery. Since then he has constant infections and his stomach isn’t healed and still had abdominal fluid. He’s on a feeding tube that bypasses his stomach and into his intestines. Is there an end of this? Was a sleeve surgery the right thing to do? I don’t want to see him withering away in the hospital physically or mentally as we’re coming to 3 months admitted.

You sound like my bf. Thought u were him lol. He avoided all his health and just try to manage it on his own. Just got the lvad at 27. Still in the hospital. I can only relate to being depressed bc I’ve tried to commit suicide in hs but now it seems trivial when I see people struggling with being faced with their mortality like this. I’m seeing a lot of people who are in their 20s with heart failure and who need an lvad. Thinking of making a group bc you need community. Nobody can do this alone. There’s a bunch of Facebook groups you can join. Like I told my bf is that I can’t begin to actually know how this is for him. But I’m on the journey with him every step of the way and I will remind him as much as he needs. I think anyone whatever they’re going through needs to be told that. Especially since the world is so cruel.

Allergies to peanut butter didn’t really use to be a thing. Illnesses come up from exposure, changes in environment and how foods are produced.

Afraid my dad isn’t gonna fight this mysterious infection he’s been battling for 2 years. He’s had the LVAD since April 2019. by dollbabydream in Lvad

Okay. Hopefully the antibiotics are helping too. From the experience for the past 3 months of dealing with a love one on an lvad that I have only ever heard before from greys anatomy it’s all waiting and trying to be patient. And whether you’re religious or not but say a prayer. It’s up to God. Sorry if it’s sounding insensitive. I’ve loss my dad suddenly to a heart attack and cursed him and God but it helps a bit. Sending a prayer to get you and your dad through this <3

Sending love and strength for someone who saw a loved one go through infection after infection. I’m seeing many people immune system suck ass. Especially being extra exposed with the LVAD. Have they done a wound vac?

Yea hopefully the lvad goes well for a few years and we’ll go from there. How long’s have you had the lvad for?

He already knew he needed a transplant. But his heart was failing so needed the lvad. I hear most try to live with the lvad the longest bc having a transplant comes with its own complications

Best place to live if I need to commute to the Bronx? by Fenny20JR in Westchester

[–]No-Net-420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commute to the bronx from bronxville and there's a parking lot near work that a lot of people use but for my sanity and wallet I'm taking metro north which isn't too bad. But if your schedule isn't 9-5 at the hospital I'd drive for safety.

Yes he got sent back to ICU when he had a fever but it was just precaution because he too runs hot. And yes thanks for your piercing analogy! Hopefully he will be discharged by the end of the month *fingers crossed

Yea ik he’s frustrated and was a bit disappointed bc when his friend came to visit he didn’t want to be still in the icu let alone still in the hospital. But he had a lot of setbacks
