So today is Sunday and boy did the good Lord do his work for me today. I happened to spot a post by Sandy who works with Dr Ramos-Kelly a surgeon I had read about but thought I could not afford. THey were running a special for VGS for Nov and Dec, unfortunately I am going in January so it would not apply to me. I though I would call Sandy and discuss the VGS and Dr Ramos Kelly anyways.

Sandy was awesome to talk to and she informed me that the surgery I wanted was not as expensive with Dr Ramos-Kelly as I had thought. He is certainly worth the extra $300 for my anxiety and peace of mind. Sandy was kind enough to "Test" my FSA Visa card to put my mind at ease about paying for this surgery with my FSA - and I wanted to know before I deposited pretax $5000 over the course of 2011 into my FSA account. It worked... did you hear me IT WORKED. Sandy ran $10 through and it went right through. Which means after Jan 1st I can have this surgery!

I did not want to take a loan or loan from my 401K if I did not have to. Also this way it reduces my taxible income by $5000.... horray! As soon as Dr Ramos-Kelly approves my I am going to make my deposit and get my date held... January 6, 2011 sounds like a very good day ... Happy New Year to me!
