ewww - still, it seems Peter never does things in half measures!

did I see you say that he's set a record for being the longest on his VAD thing or have I got that wrong?

TeeCee · 26/01/2007 22:55

Yeah that's what I mean, is he ok bearing in mind he's not, iykwim.

oooh - I reckon that's worth another story in the paper if that's the case then misdee!

poor you and P, that's such a long long time

misdee · 26/01/2007 23:02

its a very long time. on the 14th March he will have been on the transplant list for 2years

we are going to use the l;ongst time on this vad as the angle on it if it is upto date.

i know someone has been on a jarvick2000 for 6 years though, but his is permanment as unsuitable for transplant.
