Meghan,

Yes, I think it's possible to conduct an entire evaluation within a few days --

especialy if you will be traveling out of state. My circumstances were a little

unusual given the fact that several of my appointments had to be cancelled due

to testing equipment not coming back from repair in a timely manner. (My CI

center is also one of the largest in the region which means that they see alot

of CI recipients and prospective CI candidates.) If it were not for the delay

with the testing equipment, my evaluation would have taken a few days or a month

as opposed to 6 months.

I wonder if you could receive funding through an organization like the Lions

Club or Kiwanis?

I haven't even contacted Lions or Kiwanis yet. I probably won't for a

while. I just sent an email to my boss at work, to see if I could

start working enough hours so that I can get the benefits (if they

have the insurance benefit). I explained to him my situation and

such. And if that's not possible, as much as I would hate to, I'd

have to find another job. My counselor was telling me of a place that

were hiring, they have a pretty good pay (better than what I'm

currently paid at my current job), and I could get full-time and get

the benefits. We'll see what my boss says. I would have much rather

talked to my supervisor about this, but I don't want to depend on her

to do all the talking to the boss, since it's my problem and not hers.

So now, to start saving up some money for an evaluation... (ok, new

tires should be my priority at this time... Gotta love life).
