Surgery at 1130 last night. Doctor exised all of old scar. Ambulatory but can't keep dressings on. No pain until about 20 minutes ago. Est cost 20k total

EDIT: pain minor. Need nap. Est bill 20 k. Actual cost? Less I'm sure. Not dying of refusing care(necrotizing fasciitis, blood infections, repeating fever etc) PRICELESS

I know I am loved and supportted.

Keeping your leg and not dying from something scary: priceless.

Hang in there. Don't focus on the cost.

they should give warrentees on surgeries

if they didnt fix it the first time, they should give you the next one for free!!!

sorry to hear you're hurting :(

For doc bill, once you're off meds, negotiate. When I had my first c-section the initial bill was $60K ($20K was covered by my insurance). In the end, I paid $5K, my insurance paid $20K, and everyone was relatively content.

When you actually get the bill, let's talk. I don't mind bringing work home for you :-)

The bill is the minor part of all this. We are thankful that you are going to be okay, that the infection has been taken care of.

Eeek just heard about this via lunchtime gossip. Poor you! Get well, quick. And dont abuse the vicoden... it's being banned, ya know.

Lemme know if you need anything... I'm not too far away. 'Sides, we need you at the prom.

Vicoden?
