Alive and Kicking...
I'm back. Yes, I dissapeared. Needed some down time. A few weeks of ups and downs and trying to figure a lot of stuff out for myself.
Thanks to everyone for your amazing love and support and all your wonderful wishes about my surgery. Unfortunately, the LA option isnt going to work so you may get to see me in a wheelchair after all. But now I am fighting a bigger battle....a battle with the STUPID health insurance company to get them to pay for my STUPID surgery. I finally got myself pumped up to get it done, even scheduled a surgery date ......and then found out that my insurance company was going to make me pay $12,000 out of pocket for the surgery. Seeing as this is in NO way financially viable, I am now trying to figure out how to navigate my way through the bureaucracy of our health care system. Hopefully, inshallah, I will be able to find a new doctor and hospital which accept my stupid insurance and be able to have my first foot done the first week of January.
Urgh...not the way I want to waste my time. It is so much more fun to be out there changing the world.

Good luck with this! I'm sure you'll find a way though. But I guess even if you have to pay partly out of pocket, it's your health you're paying for. Much more important than some stupid money. Although it hurts of course...
I have another friend who just got hit by a truck while on her traineeship in Pennsylvania, her J1 insurance nowhere nearly covers hospital bills, but she luckily found her way out of this. Hope you'll find one, too!
Don't let this spoil your christmas or new year's eve! Hugs

You will make it baby !!
Inchallah the surgery will be done successfuly, they WILL pay for it, and then, u will just forget about it later !!!
Changing the world this time probably will need to start by changing the health care system : So many people are suffering, and the politicians are busy doing crap in the Middle East...
Be Strong! Be RAJEL :))
