After 2 years, I automatically got medicare coverage. I may only be 42 in years and 23 in my mind, but my body feels at least 97...
Jen - thank you for sharing about your fil. I will pray he continues to do well. I am having the transplant at Stony Brook University Hospital. I could have gone to Columbia Pres, but this is closer to home and easier on my family...
