Back in business!

So, after the absolute insanity of the last few months, things are back on track, FINALLY!! I just talked with the clinic this morning, and I should be getting a surgery date soon!! It's been a REALLY long road, but I'm so glad that in the end it's all working out how it's supposed to! I talked with the financial aid department at my school, and turns out they made a HUGE mistake on my funding! By huge, I mean about $3000 huge! So, if all goes exactly as planned, with the additional funds from them, what was raised on-line, off line, and I have a few more things for sale/fundraisers/etc. occurring within the next month, I should *just* make it! (It'll be tight, not going to lie! But, within a few hundred bucks, which I can beg/borrow easily enough, if need be!) I've already said that if I (somehow, but highly doubtful!) wind up with any money above & beyond the cost of the surgery itself, it'll be applied to the 'other expenses' meaning testing fees, bloodwork, radiologists that need to read the films because they don't trust the radiology tech's opinion, etc. Basically, the 'medical' expenses related too, but not included in the surgery price. I'm not terribly concerned about these, as the hospital does apparently take into consideration financial status and work out payment plans, but still, it would be nice to be able to get them paid off sooner than later! (Again, BIG if!!) I so can't thank all of my friends & supporters enough! This whole thing has been one hell of a whirl-wind, I still can't quite get over how abruptly everything fell apart, and how slowly it all got put back together again! But, it is, and that's what counts!! One more week left in the semester, YIKES! That means finals! Blech! But, it'll be nice to be done! Then, home to visit my parents & furbabies, who I haven't seen in nearly 5 months! That'll be a welcomed change of pace!
