Rookie driver medical question

Hi All! Just popping on with an odd medical question

But first:BACKSTORY

I just got my class A in August 2017 through Roehl’s cdl program. (Great program from my experience btw)

Well I absolutely loved trucking until I started getting worn out. By mid December I had to quit as I was to tired and miserable to continue. On December 26 I was admitted to the ER and was diagnosed with heart failure. Over the past few months they have tried various treatments and 2 weeks ago I underwent open heart surgery to have a pump attached to my heart.

So the question is this: Can I drive with the heart pump? And/or the meds? And what is the fmcsa book I can look at to find these answers?

Thanks everyone for your time; D. Ward
