Today was the first time we have gotten to attend one of the LVAD support group meetings.

 Twice before we missed because Larry was back in hospital.....  most of the people who attended had gotten their LVAD within the past 2 years, so it was very interesting to hear them talk about issues we  are haing as well......  the most common problem seems to be back aches from carrying the batteries.. some had vests, some had bags and belts....  2 of the 14 there were women... It seems to be more men that get LVADS.  

But it was very informative, and Larry also learned about a new glucose minotoring device FreeStyle Libre,  going to try to get one.

Many were on the LVAD friends group on Facebook as well.... If you are new to this blog and are trying to find a specific post, you can use the search. If you are looking for one of the tips I mentioned today, they are in the topics on the left panel. Prayers for each of you...
