Red tape

I was thinking that we had gotten through most of the red tape then BOOM! Huge flag on the field. Apparently my insurance is state funded and only pays about %20 of the cost of my visit to Mayo so they have decided not to accept it. Which means now I am going to be coming as a Charity Care Case...Let me just let you imagine how it feels as someone who works 60 hours a week and who has worked since the age of 15 be told they are going to be "charity". Like asking for help from all of my friends, family and their circles wasn't hard enough! My specialist called right away and called me back a few times and when I said "Maybe I just can't go" he informed me that wasn't an option, that this was the ONLY place that could save my life. No pressure Mayo clinic. So I am once again reminding myself that everything is ok, and listen to the doctors who are telling me that becoming a basket case is not an option. I will keep my head up, keep raising money and keep the fact that my kids need me right in the front of my mind. But today was not an easy one. I was on the phone for at least 2 1/2 hours and cried to more than one nurse. Thank you all for reading and for all the support. We are really far from the goal, but I have faith that we will get there, and I keep telling myself that this will all lead to the answer to all these questions and get me healthy again.
