@SammyBlueCat , hope this relieves the stress some, which should allow you to heal up faster and better.
Public Service Announcement, to try to educate you cretins on what's going on in the world:
GoFundMe is now the fourth largest health care insurer in the US, with 250,000 + medical campaigns per year raising over $650,000,000. And internet friendships drive a lot of it.
Of course, from what Sammy's said, this case may fall more in the category of temporary disability bridge money. Or, on the morning of his surgery date may be found on the couch stoned on catnip, gorging on lil friskies tuna treats, and then we'll know what we've truly enabled.
