Bimala was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Dharan University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,200 short.
my mother has been in and out of Dharan University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Bimala struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time Bimala won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $400
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.
