Ditto that. I'd hate to be the exception to the rule.... Unless I was stranded in the lovely PV or Cancun! Lol Amanda Rae

I think peace of mind has a lot to do with it and are very important. Stress and anxiety are not good for the body or soul. If one choice makes anxious and another calms us down then it is worth the extra expense. Just make sure you're not buying swamp land in Florida or oceanfront property in Arizona. I don't think Dr. Aceves or Dr. Lopez qualify as either. But one may offer a "perk" that tips the scales and makes it worth the cost. Amanda Rae

This matter has been handled. Sincere apologies issued and accepted by the parties involved. We will now invoke the wisdom of Sir Paul McCartney and "let it be..." Amanda Rae

An amazing and touching experience. Thank you for entrusting us with your story. Amanda Rae

Tough call. In a perfect world we'd have plenty of money to spend towards a surgery such as this. Alas, we do not. I think it's important to find balance between to two. I don't think it's an impossible task either. A challenge but not impossible. Amanda Rae

Also, I do not see why you cannot insist you meet with your surgeon ASAP for some Q/A and to easy your concerns...

I agree. Although I haven't met my surgeon yet, him being in Mx and me being Ohio and all, I've communicated with him... Amanda Rae

Proposed script???: "We can only tentatively accept due to a medical procedure. Don't worry, I am fine but I prefer to keep it private and I know that you are such a great friend you won't pressure me details I am not ready to share. Given the circumstances we just cannot commit to travel and celebration." Amanda Rae

A safe surgery for you! Amanda Rae
