Went this week to the Dallas Transplant Institute for testing. The majority of the testing was today and was pretty intensive. I left feeling totally overwhelmed. The biggest challenge is finance. The cost of the anti-rejection medication is staggering and I find myself wondering if it will really be worth it and if we would be able to support it.
The last year was pretty difficult. Three hospital stays and then in December, Steve's truck was totalled. We bought him a new one on 12/31 and then find out this week that the insurance didn't cover the entire payoff on the vehicle. I was dumbfounded. So the news today wasn't great.
Without insurance, we would never be able to do this at all. It would be easier if we were destitute or of a lower income bracket. The government would pay the majority of it. Eventually, Medicaid will chip in ... the first month after the transplant though would be a kick in the pants.
