Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 It's looking like self pay may be the only option for me as well. However, I dont have an IRA to fall back on . I did respond to a post earlier this month about low rate medical loans but did not get a response. Any help in this department would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Tarri, We used a credit card to pay for everything.
