Sinta was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in June. The surgeon at Jakarta Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Jakarta Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sinta struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 6 weeks. During that time Sinta won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Thank you so much. - Ani
