Welcome. Your news really sucks, though.

Maybe you can get a loan against it from a friend, you know, sort of  
like pawning it. I once did this with my B3 when I was in dire straits  
financially. I let them have the B3, we had another lawyer friend draw  
up papers, and several months later, I was able to pay off the loan  
and get the instrument back.

Just a thought...
