Need a new icon

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.

Hugs.

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.
