Gosh Kathy, I am sorry about the news. You have a full plate that sounds stressful and very emotional. Health issues can interfere with every aspect of your life, and when you find a "solution," it is devastating to be shot down.

My insurance did not cover my ADR. I had to sell my brand new Toyota Tacoma at the time, and I had to borrow money from family to afford my surgery.

I wish I could offer an easy solution. However, what I can offer is from personal experience: don't make any decisions while you are emotional. Give yourself some time to process all of this and what your plan of attack / next steps will be.

With all of the smart people here, we'll pull together and find other paths for you to pursue in your quest for proper (and necessary) medical care.

God bless you and your family. My wife and I will be praying for you.
