After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Esperanza was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Coatzacoalcos
Esperanza was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in November. The surgeon at Coatzacoalcos Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,200 short. my daughter has been in and out of Coatzacoalcos Orthopedic Institute since November. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Esperanza struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 3 weeks. During that time Esperanza 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 $1,200 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $900 Thank you so much.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Novosibirsk so I could bring a meal. Love from Curitiba!
