Most likely your funds are safe and in your hot wallet address still. Things to look at: -were you using the latest client? If you are using the same client from a year ago, that is a problem because monero regularly hard forks which means you need the latest wallet software or you will be sending on the wrong chain. -were you fully synced with the monero network when sending? I've previously ran into an issue where I wasnt fully synced with the network when trying to send a transaction and it would get stuck... if this is the case, you want to look at how to rebroadcast a TX to the network. Make sure you are fully synced when rebroadcasting

Good luck!
