Heart failing

Hi, Its been a while since ive been on here. I still have pain where my pm and def is i also have 3 leads where one is sewed to the heart, I had this put in last july aug 2009, at that time my heart fuction was 28 percent, i have a left branch blood they say is still there but dont say much about it. I also have a enlarge heart that has gotton bigger since last year and my heart fuction is 20 percent. was told have to go to a heart transplant center in kc mo to see if theres anything they can do for me cause theres nothing more they can do here for me they say my heart is giving out said the pacemaker and def is working ok. they dont think i can get a new heart caurse i have a lot of other health problems. Im asking for prayers for me and my family, Im 49 years old married have two kids 12 and 15 this is really scarry for me. I thought every thing would be ok when i got the pm and def i guess i was wrong. Is there anyone else going through this. I live 3 and a half hours from kc. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks for the prayers.

Keep faith, go to KC and talk with them, I dont understand why your doctor doesnt set something up for you, ask them to. Im sending prayers your way my friend, try and stay postive I know its hard a transplant is in my future, try and stay postitive and enjoy life today. Praying for you Karen. If you need to talk anytime pm and Ill reply ive got big shoulders.

you're not alone
i'm in the same boat
all i can say is you gotta do what you gotta do, check out the cleveland heart clinic site, get all the information that you can, try to learn as much as possible, check out clinical trials. it's never easy. my heart meds have turned on me and i feel like i'm bouncing back and forth between doctors. so now, thinking that dealing with CHF was enough, i get another blast that is making me sick all of the time. hang in there
