Jessika...You are pathetic! I want you to write on the blog! How is your life? How was seeing the fam? Well, I've been working a story about a new heart pump that the U of U is working on. The 2.5 inch Ventrassist could replace heart transplants. That means, people who don't qualify for a heart transplant don't have to have a huge machine sticking out of their body for the rest of their life, they can actually do normal things again. I interviewed this old lady who reminded me of you. She came to Utah for the new pump and is doing much better. I asked if she liked Salt Lake and she said,"I'm not a city girl. You can't take the girl out of the country, or is it, you can't take the country out of the girl...I don't remember." This lady made me laugh so hard!
She was actually about to die and life means everything to her. Because of this pump, she is still alive. I don't think I savor every minute of my life enough, and I'm not connected to any tubes.
