A scheduled hip replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $1,950 of the cost.

Bruno was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in September. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,950 short.
my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since September. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,800 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Bruno struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Bruno 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 $1,950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $340
• Travel and lodging for the family: $140
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $155
• Post-operative medication: $115
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Beatriz. Wishing Bruno a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Petrópolis.
Sending love, Beatriz. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
So sorry you're going through this, Beatriz. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
