Thank you so much to everyone for your positive responses and encouraging words. I am incredibly touched.
Our insurance policy has an exclusionary clause for this type of surgery. I've fought with them and had the hospital do so as well. Going to pay for the surgery out of pocket. When it's all said and done it will be around $20,000 ($17,000 for surgery and $3,000 for tests, meetings, etc.). Several friends have already gotten together and are having a benefit golf outing and dinner for me at our club in mid-October. Whatever funds we don't raise, my boss has pledged to make up the difference.
I'm incredibly blessed to have so many friends that care and are so encouraging. I truly appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Time to celebrate. Where do I send the box of donuts?
