I just thought I would update ya'll on trying to get financial aid (since I don't have health insurance) so I can afford to get my aortic root and ascending aorta replaced and possibly (but hopefully not) have my aortic valve replaced.
Here is the update:
Well that's it for now. I've filled out all the paperwork, released my records, and have been pretty much just waiting for something to happen (trying to get aid through my county's vocational rehab services agency since my condition doesn't qualify for SS disability benefits), and I have been doing some odd jobs to pay for my golf addiction as I feel my overall health slowly slip backwards from where it was a year or two ago. Sometimes it gets pretty hard not to let the self pity creep in...thank God for golf...it is my sanctuary!
