Hospital Bill

So I got the bill from the hospital the other day. It has taken me a few days to believe it... it says... total charges $7811.89... total adjustments $7108.62... balance due $703.27... WOOHOOOO....OMG, i'm definitely NOT going to call and question this bill. I'm still waiting on the anesthesiologist's bill, but surely it would have come by now, right?... So, I'm thinking it may be included in this bill. I kinda would like an itemized bill (I'm just like that - I like to see details). Anyway, my SIL said, "pay that bill quick and don't ask any questions". So in total my surgery cost... 4035.81 + 703.27 = 4739.08 (hospital bill) + 2000.00 (dr. surgeon bill) + 135.00 (pathology reports - what is this??)... anyway, grand total of...... 6,874.08.... woohoo,, i'll take that any day over the original quote of $13 thousand.

So, we've decided that January sounds good for our IVF cycle. Actually, I guess this would start really in December w/ bcp's and then suppresion starting right before the new year (if AF stays on course). That way we can get through all the holidays and birthdays and hunting seasons, etc, etc, etc, but I may have a screwed up New Year's Eve if that's when I would start suppression. We'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, January, February and March are pretty slow so I won't have any other worries and can have full concentration on cycling and hopefully something sticking...
