Life in a 13.5-pound backpack! Man survives 555 days without "heart" in body 🎒

Life in a 13.5-pound backpack! Man survives 555 days without "heart" in body 🎒

The amazing miracle story of "Stan Larkin," 🩺 a young man facing Familial Cardiomyopathy, began to realize that he was sick at the age of 16, and the condition worsened until doctors estimated that he might die without a heart transplant.

But there was no compatible donated heart at the time. The doctors decided to do something incredible! They surgically removed the "whole" 😲 heart and replaced it with a portable artificial heart called "SynCardia Freedom Driver."

The 24-year-old lives by carrying this blood pump in a backpack weighing 13.5 pounds (about 6 kg) 24 hours a day. It takes the place of the heart and makes a buzz everywhere he goes, so many people like to say if he's carrying a subwoofer speaker. 😅

The amazing thing is that he carried this backpack back to his home, drove 🚗, and even went down to play basketball 🏀! He lived a life of "no real heart in his chest" for 555 days.

It wasn't until in 2016 that a miracle happened that Stan received the waiting donation heart, the surgery went well, and he returned to a fully healthy life at 25. 👍

This is a story that truly proves a medical breakthrough, and a human fighter's heart!

We all know what odor I’m talking about 😭🐠 … luckily there are things we can do!! First is staying as clean as possible! Shower morning and night with a fragrance free, gentle soap. I find using a bidet also helps during the day!! I don’t like wipes because even the most gentle wipes make my ski

The version of you that survivesis not always the version of you that’s healed.
Some patterns don’t disappear just because you became aware of them. They adapt. They learn how to sound spiritual, logical, independent, “healed.” But underneath the explanation… the same emotional loop is still running the show. Shadow work is not about shaming yourself. It’s about fina
