Out of Options and very depressed...

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.

Kathy,
I don't mean to pry tho I'm just wondering if by settling out of court this allows you the amount money that you would have been given for the fusion surgery? If so would you be able to consider traveling to have surgery done somewhere (another country) where it might be half the price or something like that? ** oops I just read your reply above so think I have the answer there.

The good news appears to be that you are a candidate for the ADR surgery so hopefully something can be worked out financially, somehow, somewhere, someway.

I'm so sorry to hear you weren't informed sooner as to that litigation clause or it wasn't emphasized or bolded or something to make one inquire as to whether it would matter or not. I hope something wil work out for you soon but don't lose hope. This is all just one more hurdle to get thru

Hang in there
