still trying to plan

I am trying plan for this transplant, but everytime I talk to them the details seem to change. There are so may variables that may alter the dates or length of treatment. It may not be an option to stay at my friends house after the transplant, so I am looking in hotels etc. It's so expensive out there (even with the patient discounts) . It looks like I need to come up with an extra $20,000 to make it through this. I know that when you look at the big picture that isn't a lot of money. I am fortunate that the initial medical costs are covered, but when you are already tapped it's difficult imagine where that money could come from.
