Taguig
Bea was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Taguig Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $500 short. my daughter has been in and out of Taguig Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bea struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Bea won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $125 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 Thanks for being kind about this. - Danica
