Denis was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Moscow Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,250 short.
my brother has been in and out of Moscow Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Denis struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 4 weeks. During that time Denis won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,200
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $510
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $175
• Post-operative medication: $95
• Physiotherapy sessions: $175
• Travel and lodging for the family: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Entebbe
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Denis?
Sending good thoughts, Olga. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Moscow
Rooting for you, Olga. I hope things turn around soon. Take care!
wishing Denis a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Wishing you the best, Olga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Prayagraj.
so sorry you're going through this, Olga. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours
hope things get better soon, Olga. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Greensboro but we're thinking of you.
hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
