After the too many hospital stays, too many surgeries, visiting nurses for 8+ months, HBO dives and hundreds of doctor visits and tests it has to be over the million mark. I had seen one of the 2 month hospital captivity bills but I cant remember what the amount was. Back then, my mind was too foggy to retain any info.
PS... Please relax about the $$$. Many treatment facilities offer charity care for those who are un or underinsured. When it comes to fighting for your life there is no price tag!
