Engaging move!
Hello!
I wanted to give a major update to my life. I am officially a fiancee! I was completely surprised and shocked at the proposal, which is how I love it. If any of you guys out there are planning to do this, I highly recommend making it as much as a surprise as possible because the emotions involved are priceless! I got engaged at midnight on New Year's Eve and will also be moving to Atlanta, GA in late spring. I will be closer to family this way. I will still continue my care at Cleveland clinic, as long as my insurance coverage lets me. I am so happy to be moving forward in this new post-transplant chapter of my life.
Speaking of insurance coverage, social security disability and disability insurance and benefits coverage have been so difficult to handle. I had no idea how much my patients went through with all of these things. It is really crazy how it is almost easier to not work, than to encourage people to try to go back to work while insuring they will not be financially abandoned if they are unable to work to at the capacity previous to being disabled. I feel like there is something that could be done to change some of these laws. They often seem inefficient and unhelpful. It is sad that those who need care the most often get the least. I will certainly have to look into this when I move to see what legislation can be done. I obviously don't know enough about the issues except for my personal ones. But anyway, that is my short rant on that subject.
I also wanted to give a tribute to Brian Pedrick. He was a wonderful father, husband and friend in his young 30's, who passed away in October. He received his Heart Transplant about a month before I did at Cleveland clinic and greatly helped me through the post transplant period. He will be and is, greatly missed by me and so many that were touched by his enthusiasm for life.
The Have a Heart benefit will continue to promote the importance of organ donation, the gift of life, by hosting a happy hour in Atlanta sometime in February. This will also pay tribute to national heart month. Please look for more details in the near future.
I hope everyone is enjoying their New Year and I wish you all a very joyous and healthy one.
love, Jenn
