I've been on this forum for years ever since 2010, however despite being healthy and active the gene of enlarge heart got me. Now I'm sitting in Charleston Heart hospital either waiting for transplant or not. I've worked tons of hours for the last few years, sometimes 60 to 70, but that wasn't the issue at all. The issue is due to my family line, I developed heart failure. Seen the first sign in 2023 when I couldn't breathe right with my mask. In Jan I notice I couldn't move as fast as I should. In Aug I developed fluid in the lungs and went into ER. Said I have heart failure and if I didn't come here in Charlestown I'd be a goner. I'm looking for support from friends I knew in the past due to depression I'm now in, it snuck back on me. Just to think b4 August I was living good off life, had goals, plans to move forward and now I'm dependent on staff for mobility. In the past I never needed help! I built my first PC on my own, put in my own networks, very motivated, learned everything on the job as a manager on my own too. Sucks how life is. Pray for me.
 
Welcome back brother. I've always bumped some of your threads in the past. So Sorry about the situation you are in. I promise to put you in my prayers. You are going to overcome. Prayers for you brother.

Ty. Aug really hit me like a ton of bricks. I never needed meds in my life! Always worked out even on the job. Yes I have my fried chicken and macaroni with sweet tea becuz I'm in the south, lol. But never like this. Wish I caught early, but even if I did, it would've progressed further as the docs said.

Ty very much. Felt like nobody cared becuz I use to brush people off that I'm ok. They took me off the swan today and now I can move around like semi normal. Yesterday we walked around and seen the Charleston view it was nice with all the boats and water around. I masked for many years by working more at the job as a manager and at the end of the day would lock myself in my room daily eating fast food, air fried chicken and Milo's sweet tea. 70 percent of my diet was healthy though! I just love those cheat days lol. Never told anybody about the bad cough or cold feet, or feeling freezy when it was warm or hot a sign of heart failure.

Gods plans for you will prevail over these issues. I will always pray for you 🙏🏽
 
I'm back guys. They put me on a heart device called the Lvad. I only take 3 meds prescribed for my heart. The surgery happened on November the 12th and it was a success. I was out pretty quick and the recovery was quick too. Crazy how life works, eh? My goal now is to keep my weight down and if everything goes well, my heart can recover. However, I'm still going to be on the transplant list for now, but I'm praying that my heart recovers enough function that I won't need the device anymore AKA a bridge to recovery.


For almost 5 months, I couldn't eat or drink without throwing up, even after surgery. Feb the 9th was the first time I drank and ate without nausea or vomiting it was great. I'm now able to enjoy my favorite foods, minus the sodium and tea of course, lol. I have been down ( depressed ), but I'll soon be talking to a psychologist about my mental health and maybe they'll put me back on my meds for both ADHD & depression. Can't bathe or swim at the moment due to the Heartmate 3, but the good thing is that the rest of my body is healthy enough for a Transplant.


Either I get it or if my heart function comes back I'm all in.

Thanks for the support, because I had very few of it save my parents.

Good news brother. You are going to have 100% recovery by the grace of God.
 
Thank you for bumping my threads. The sad reality is that CHF affects me more than the average person. No matter if you're fit or not, It will affect you if you have a gene. My brother in Law just died recently due to CHF and pneumonia. He constantly had to go to the doctor to drain fluid. It hit me really hard. I was in the bed all day and got severely depressed than my close cousin was hit with a heart attack that almost took him out. Luckily they put a stent in him and he's okay. You guys are right, folks care little about your wellbeing today. The bible is right about men waxing colder and colder & having no care for their fellow man.

Thank you. I have to do one more operation before being on the transplant list, but my hope is to keep my native heart and get better. Either my heart gets better or not I'll be on meds my whole entire life. Now I'm on Entresto, Spirolactone and Jardiance. Ever since then my BP has been regulated well. I'm glad to see the site is still going and great people around to help others.
 
Welcome back brother. As long as your heart is still ticking, there's always hope for it to continue in progress in a positive manner.

The device will monitor you,band I know you can do much strenuous activities. However, it doesn't mean you can't progressive work to the point your native heart can adopt and adapt to the new stress management. We will continue to pray for your miraculous recovery brother. Keep us posted on your conditions from time to time.

No I have the device. If you start seeing progress with your heart with the device, they'll remove it and I wouldn't have the need for a new heart. But at the beginning of this year I was in pure hell. Throwing up, fluid build-up, everything, but ever since eating better, taking my meds, I've been doing well and I edit videos now with my new build. I'm thankful to be alive especially when I had a 7 percent EF heart pump.

Praise the Lord.I'm so happy that you have been relieved of this issue!
 
Update: Doing absolutely great. On a new diet btw and keeping the fluid off by using fluid pills taking my meds. I also started doing A.I videos and getting really skilled in it. Things are working out for the better right now and will continue in the future. I'm a big fan of Chatgpt and stay away from very negative environments and people! Thank you all again for the support and given a 2nd chance in life.

If you're looking to gain 8in in 8 months, it's like 17in in 17 days craziness. Yeah, not happening. But if you're already at 7in and pushing hard to get the remaining 1in, that can be achieved. But that will push your tissues into a fast gain and hard plateau situation. I suggest aiming low, at 0.5in gain at an 8-month interval. What extra you gain will be considered a bonus. For me, I only have low expectations and become happier as I gain more. If I'm desperate, there are other means. Since we are altering our bodies for permanent changes, it's best to approach the process slowly and steadily, not fast and furious.

Staying away from negative environments and negative people is a very good step. Such environment and people can derail your thoughts if you are not careful. Thank God for your life.

I think this is one of the fewest places where I can find like minded views at the same time there's plenty of views most of them are here to improve our lives.. I'm thankful after all. This is like a shelter, this is a great place.

I think I wasn't clear enough I didn't mean 8 inches in 8 months yep that's senseless. Just want an inch in length and one inch in girth.. I lost my cock rings by the way..I can't buy a new set rn. Having low expectations makes more sense that's right..At least in this case .

Yes, 8 months can get you closer to the goal. Set it as 0.5in for length and 0.5in for girth. That's truly achievable.
 
Things are not simple, brother. It's a body alteration. It takes time to build up a strong and muscular arm. It will do the same for a long and thick penis. There is a simple passive method that African tribes use, which is the traction rings. It's 24/7 traction, but it requires you to have an initial piercing around the base of the glans, below the foreskin. Can you feel that initial painful setup? But with that setup, you can grow as long as you want, that is, if you're not planning to stick that slong into any vagina and rip it up from the inside.

SRT is key unfortunately I don't have all of those devices neither the time..

Traction wrapping. Something like a minimalist version of the extender. I tried this in the past with some cheap extender rods using spring loaded system. Rather than a freaking long and large base, the extender rods are wrapped directly side-by-side with the penis, after I provided a bulky wrap around the base of the glans, still allowing a good urethral flow. The rods, under 1.5kg traction, feel like it's nothing there. The only thing is, when you bend over or walk around with slim pants, it can "show" and "rubs" the wrong way. I did get an accidental "pinch" because the rods collapsed. That feeling was not fun. I put two customized fabric sleeves aroud the rods and problem solved. I didn't use the rods more than 3 months to test. The gains were around 0.15in.

I understand your point now. That mindset of gaining 0.5 inches in 8 months is for people that have already gained up to 2 inches from PE. I'm aiming for 1 inch in length in 1 year and 10 months. For girth, I'm giving myself 2 years to go from 6 inches midshaft to permanently filling out the xtreme X9 large pump. This is because the xtreme X9 is wider than 7 inches girth. To go from 6 inches to 7 inches in girth and also cement it will take more than 1 year. Let's say 1 year and 6 months.
