burning a hole in my wallet
less than a week! eeeek!
i had to pay the doctor's surgery today... I transferred money from my savings account into my regular account and felt extremely wealthy all weekend. But today I had to take a chunk of that money and pay the first part of the cost. I will still have to pay the hospital, I think not until I'm actually there. I'm guessing it will before the operation, while I'm waiting around. Those hours waiting in the hospital will be the most nerve-wrecking hours. I feel nervous and sick just thinking about it.
So I went to my bank and enquired about what the best method of withdrawing such a large sum of money. I assume it would be in bank cheque or something, but the teller said I could save the time and hassle (and a few dollars) by just receiving cash, and since the bank I needed to deposit the money in, was RIGHT beside my bank, I figured why not?
HOLY SHIT! Nothing like a WAD of cash to suddenly make it all seem fucking real! I had two envelopes full of $100 and $50 notes. FULL! My god, the walk out of the bank, 30 metres down the road and into the other bank was the scariest walk of my life. My knuckles were turning white gripping onto my bag, I swear I was bright red... trying desperately not to look like I had thousands of dollars in my bag.
Of course that corner is the local favourite spot for buskers, charity collectors and promo people, so I had to avoid being stopped by about half a dozen different people.
I deposited the money with no problems, but afterwards I felt so lightheaded and woozy. There's no going back now, its really happening.

I've had to deposit multi-million USD checks for my job every year. I know that feeling. :)
Oh, I talked more with my wife about her friend/co-worker that got a reduction done, and she was back to work in two weeks, but it was a good month or so before the swelling went down and the girls shrank down to their new size.
