Yes...That's right I'm going there! I'm sure its one of those things on every one's mind, but no one asks. I will add that I did have reservations about posting this, but the truth is I'm sure that there are plenty of people are wondering about this..so wonder no more.
After Jason got the LVAD implanted, I was embarassed to ask his doctor when we could make love again..( I know, I'm silly...but I bet I'm not the first!)
Let me be the first to tell you I was terrified to have sex with Jason after the LVAD.(..and he wasn't scared at all!) I was so scared I was going to hurt him, or move too quick..or worse get hung up in his equipment! ( none of these things ended up happening!)
The best thing I can tell you is to listen to your partner and they will let you know when they are ready. Now, the first initial time having sex might be a little awkward, It is going to be a little different, but you learn to try different things to make it easy as possible.
I always make a point to always love on Jason. I never wanted him to think for one minute that he wouldn't be attractive to me anymore after the LVAD. I always tell him how much I love his body..Scars and Driveline included! I thought our relationship was strong before..but now it has reach a whole new level..and I love it!If anyone has any other questions feel free to email me at ourlifeourlovehislvad@gmail.com!
