LVAD Independence Day

     Somewhere I read that George III of England kept a diary.  His entry for July 4, 1776 was something to the effect that nothing of significance happened.  George was clueless it seems.  The colonies became a force to be reckoned with eventually becoming the United States.  The struggle for independence was a team effort and of course it didn't happen overnight. 

     I want to wish my compatriot LVADs best wishes for this 4th of July.  We've made it another year.  No selfish gloating here; only gratefulness for all who made this possible.  Living life with an LVAD is a team effort in so many ways.

   For us all, every day is Independence Day in a sense.  We are all independent from the clutches of congestive heart failure for another day.
