    The $25K is the bill from the hospital (pre-insurance, I had to pay around $1,200 of that). That does not include the doctor who performed the surgery, or the guy who knocked me out for several hours.

    Overall, I think I am paying about $3,000 for the entire thing.

    Well, another big announcement from my brother today when he spoke to my dad. Apparently the doctors told him he almost died last night while in surgery. The doctors said it had to do something with his breathing. My brother has had asthma for most of his life so I guess it had something to do with this. But, he's up walking around now and according to my dad sounds pretty good. My dad went to see him today. I'll see him tomorrow and Friday and if he's still there, on Saturday.

    That's really fortunate, T_D, that he came out of it. I'm glad he's doing better. :)

    The pain is indescribable. Was a vomit factory for about 16 hours. Anytime your white cell count is 18,000, you're in trouble.

    Ha ha. I'm too sleepy right now to laugh, but that did the trick.
