Oh yeah --- CHF and COPD.... and still smoked up a storm even while having to be hooked 24/7 to oxygen. Sorry smokers... you're just D U M B.


She lived 4 more years in a private nursing home (5 people lived there) - sitting in a chair - too weak to care for herself.... costing me a small fortune. Cost me an extra $5 per cigarette because someone had to take her outside and be with her while she puffed away. That's some addiction right there!

Oh wow. Thats too bad.

My Dad's CHF is a result of CHOP Chemo he had to undergo during his 2nd round of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Cancer that he had in the late 90's. the LVAD pump (think electronic water pump, but hookedup to the heart and pumps blood instead) will (hopefully) be a short term fix until he is healthy enough to undergo a full on Heart Transplant. Assuming he gets that far. he's having some trouble right now (not with the device, but seizures and some mental issues). Talk about a scary road.

Sorry to hear about your parents Greg.
