Heart Pump

[BobGurkin]

This coming Monday I am going to have a Javik 2000 heart pump put into my heart. My heart has gotten so weak that it simply cannot pump enough blood to keep me alive. Since I am in end stages of my life I have opted to go into the test program and hopefully it will keep me alive for some time and in any event will give the Drs a test subject. This pump is being used in Europe at this time, but has not been approved for use in the US. Hopefully, I will be able to report on the progress and if not it has been fun. You all take care and I will see you later. Next time you see me I will be battery operated

well, at least you didn't go for the paper heart.
I hear the glue doesn't stand up very well inside the body.

good luck Bob...best wishes for a successful operation
and a speedy recovery.

Best wishes. We'll all look for a paper model of your new heart when you're back in the saddle.

Here's hoping you are back soon, even if you have to change your handle to 'bionic Bob'. Keep on keeping on.

Best of luck, and I think it is very unselfish of you to do this so that others may benefit.

I salute you for you courage to help others and not just opt to help yourself!
