Ananya was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in January. The surgeon at Durgapur Orthopedic Institute recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $470, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $350 short. my daughter has been in and out of Durgapur Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $470 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ananya struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Ananya won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $350 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Rome.

    • Thinking of you and your family, Myra. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      • Stay strong, Myra. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless

        • You're not alone, Myra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Philadelphia.
