Default How we financed my surgery

We got $7500 from our credit union @ 6.50 % for 48 months, $4500 from Citi Card @ 0.00 % until 2016, and $20,000 from Discover Personal Loans @ 15.99 % for 84 months. We didn't want to put a second on our house. The paperwork is crazy to refi anyway!
Our payments will start out at about $780 per month. God willing if I am able to go back to work, we may just put my whole check towards this and knock it out in a year and a half! My husband will have to cover us for a while. I just don't want to be in debt with this for 8 years and not travel for fun ever again.
