Show me the money!

Today I paid for the surgeon and anaesthetist - ouch!! $11K on the credit card - still more to come for the hospital. I'm trying not to think about the $ and focussing on how much I'm going to gain in health and enjoyment of life - not to mention how much cheaper clothes are in "normal" sizes. I'm looking forward to never shopping in what Jenny and I call the "fat ladies shops" ever again.
