Not getting any better today

Sigh. So this morning i decided to call the endo expert in Chattanooga, Dr. Liu. Guess what? Dr. Liu is retiring, and sold his practice. He only sees patients once a month and only accepts cash. Must be nice to be THAT good at what you do that you don't have to play by the "rules". Unfortunately this means that my options are even more limited.

So then i called my insurance company to determine if the doctors at the Center for Endo Care in Atlanta are in-network or not. Nope. They do, however, do records reviews for free, so i left a message with them in hopes that they'll look at my surgery files and make a recommendation.

i still have a big, big problem, though. i'm not doing IVF with a bilateral hydrosalpinx (25ish% success rate), and if i go to an out-of-network surgeon, i won't be able to afford out-of-pocket IVF any time in the next, oh, century. Not to mention adoption if it still doesn't work out. Oh.My.Gosh. i feel like the bottom fell out of my heart.
