Decision to get Aflac pays off

For many years, I debated with myself, trying to decide if I really need to apply for an Aflac short-term disability insurance policy. I talked to Dominick Lacaria, Aflac agent, a few times over the years and delayed applying. I continued to believe that I was going to live a very healthy lifestyle for a long time. Eventually, I finally made the right decision and applied for a short-term disability policy. Two years later, I found myself diagnosed with M.S. and constantly fatigued. I was also experiencing side effects from the medicine prescribed by my Doctor. I soon realized I needed to take time off from work to experiment with different medicine along with a very strict diet.

Having short-term disability insurance helped allow me to be able to take a sabbatical while at the same time help continue to provide a decent income for my family. It also allowed me the opportunity to begin the process of getting my health back under control.

During the past 3 months, I have followed my doctor’s advice while experimenting with the latest available medicine for M.S. patients. Having this time off has helped allow me to also do my own research on the internet along with reading some of the latest books published about M.S. I have slowly been able to begin feeling better, and I am beginning to experience more energy. The extra time off has helped allow me to get on an exercise program while enjoying more quality time with my family.

I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have help from my disability insurance. I truly feel that Aflac helped provide me the opportunity to take control of my health and my destiny again.

I wanted to thank the Hopewell Area School District for allowing Aflac the opportunity to talk with their employees and for making payment easy through direct withdrawals from paychecks. I also want to thank Aflac for being there for me in my time of need and their quick payment process.

 

Sincerely,
