A big decision to make...

So...as many of you know I've had some major health issues lately. My doctor has wanted me to go to Mayo in Minnesota for quite some time, but my stupid insurance considers it 'out of network'. That basically means they would not cover much of it. I, however, am basically reaching a point of desperation to move forward & get a better quality of life. I may look fine & do my best to be 'normal' but things are progressively getting harder. I'll spare you the details! ;0) I haven't made the final decision yet...but am seriously considering it more and more. Today was a big push for it because I met a guy in the surgery waiting room when we were waiting for my Grandpa. He has had a similar problem to mine & his wife finally put him in the car & drove him to Mayo. 3 days later he had a surgery & he was on his way to being better. Now, every person/issue is different, but I am beginning to think it needs to be done. Apparently my Grandma and Dad have been talking about it for some time trying figure out how they could work it & how I could get there.

I suppose the next step is to talk to Mayo, the insurance company, & my doctor and see. I don't want to make any rash decision or a decision that could put me in a big bind for the next 10 years...so we'll see. It sure would be nice to eat something that wasn't babyfood or pureed!!!
I think some prayer & logistics is needed. Anyway...I just needed to write out some thoughts I guess. We'll see...
