One Step Closer May 19, 2004
We’re a little closer to knowing what’s going on both the surgery and car fronts, but not much. My hubby had his appointment with the general surgeon yesterday. It was pretty much a waste of time. He explained how he would assist my husband’s urologist by performing the laparoscopic portion of the surgery, which we already knew. I guess I should just view it as one more step down in the long list of steps to achieving our ultimate goal. I called the lady that schedules the urologist’s surgeries after the appointment, but she wasn’t able to do anything until she got my husband’s chart back from the other Dr. She’s supposed to call back today, but no luck so far.
After the appointment we took our car to the body shop to get an estimate on the damage. $1800. I called my dad to relay the info, and he just wants to cut us a check for that amount. Then we can either use the $ to get the car fixed or to buy a new one. I suggested he at least run it by the insurance company to see what would happen to his rates if he claimed the accident. He should be getting back to me today or tomorrow.
I have a feeling we’re going to end up buying a new car. I don’t know what to do about the $1800 though. It’s weird being in a better financial position than my parents. Sure we have a butt load of students loans from my hubby’s 3 years of law school, but my hubby makes more money than both my parents combined. The real difference is that we manage our money better. I tend to be majorly frugal, and as a result we do ok financially. It’s not like we couldn’t use the money. If we have to do IVF, that’s going to set us back more than the cost of the car we’re looking at buying. I just feel badly taking money from my parents. I guess we’ll figure something out.
