How I wish it were possible...I am excited for you! How I wish it were possible for me to run! So enjoy that feeling for me. =)<br /><br />I wanted to let you know something that might be helpful should you decide to go to the States for surgery. You'll need to look around and ask the individual hospital you would choose, but coming from Canada we are considered "uninsured" and are thus able to apply for financial aid. Surgery in the States routinely gives you multiple bills: the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the hospital, and the lab for any tests they must perform. Sometimes a surgeon will write off a portion of his fee if he knows your story and has compassion. You are always able to negotiate with any of the people there, and usually can get significant discounts if you offer to pay in one lump sum as soon as they have the bill finalized. Hospitals will often allow you to formally apply for aid (after surgery only) because you are uninsured, and you would just need a paycheck stub, tax info from the previous year, bank statements, and a letter detailing why you are seeking help. <br /><br />If you want any specifics on that, should you ever decide to go that route, please feel free to contact me. We went that route for my surgery and I'm pretty familiar with the system now, plus I'm originally from the States so I know how their systems work. We ended up with an insanely low bill compared to what we would have owed had we paid full price.<br /><br />Anyway, just keep that filed away somewhere in case you do need that someday. But here is hoping and praying that God steps in with His own fingers to keep on healing you. Bless you!!!<br /><br />Sara from the BridgeInklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169840753880557083.post-45019507481480460722010-08-05T06:37:31.231-07:002010-08-05T06:37:31.231-07:00Thank you for sharing another positive update.
