Can't Decide

I can't decide what to do about going to the CEC for treatment. I spoke to Muriel from there today, and she seemed very anxious to schedule me, and I'm just not ready to make the decision. One major factor in all of this is money. I really need to get at least an estimate on the cost of the procedure, then figure out what I will ultimately be responsible for, plus the airfare and hotel, meals etc. I know my health is more important than money, my husband will be the first to say that, but for me personally it's something I need to know up front.

Also, she said since they do surgeries on Tuesdays, I'll be there for about 5 days, since I will spend one night in the hospital. I've never had to spend the night in the hospital after any of my laps, and how does this qualify as outpatient surgery if I will indeed be an inpatient? Looks like I'll be giving Muriel a call back.

Then there's the whole work issue, although I found out today that I am earning about 2 sick days per 2 months I am there, so if I can get about 6 days in the hopper before we go down, I might be good. My job is not physically demanding and they might even let me do some work from home once we would get back from Atlanta, so I wouldn't have to tap into my vacation days. Of course, this is all dependent on the fact I just have endo excised, and don't need (or want) a hysterectomy.
