Grainne's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Grainne was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇪 Limerick, Munster, Ireland5,979 views
In January I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Limerick General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $4,050 short.
Doctors at Limerick General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $900
• Post-operative medication: $200
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. After 6 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything!
How is Grainne doing now?
