Well, my buds all said that the dream wasn't dead; it shouldn't be dead; it could still come true someday. I believed the someday part, but had no clue it would be TODAY.
Thsi morning I took my beloved and hilarious daughter to preschool, ran home and realized I had a voice mail. I checked my messages and Candace from the plastic surgeon's office called to say that she wanted me to call her back and she had something she thought I'd want to hear to tell me. Honestly I was a bit hesitant. I've been having a very hard time letting go of the idea of getting the tuck done. Very hard. Immensely hard. I kinda wanted to just pretend that the doctor's office fell off the face of the earth so I could try to ignore it. But, I called her right back anyway, she was so nice when I saw and talked to her before, and figured it couldn't be WORSE than the quote I couldn't afford.
She said that the doctor had never done this in her time with him, but he was moved by my story and wanted to see if he could lower his fee to the minimum to recover his costs so that I might be able to afford the surgery. His fee dropped from what was a fair but not-feasible for us currently fee of $4500 to just $2000. As soon as she told me this she pointed out that I would still need to pay a bit of OR fees and a bit of anesthesia fees, but I already knew that part and it wasn't horrible. I started shaking. I mean, really truly shaking. Thinking about it again now I'm starting to shake again.
My husband has now said that I can do it. We have ways to finagle it (hello escrow account cashout, etc.) and I'm hoping my husband doesn't play this to his advantage. Trust me, you don't wanna know. But either way I'm actually thinking this might happen. I'm ecstatic. And you poor people reading this.... you're going to have access to some icky, nasty, horrible before, and less icky, nasty, horrible after photos.
Today was a good day.
Oh, and per my daughter, the light side of the moon is best because the the aliens who live there like to stay on the dark side.
