Carla was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Bergamo General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,700, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,350 short.
my wife has been in and out of Bergamo General Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,700 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Carla struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Carla won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $220
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,750
• Physiotherapy sessions: $380
Glad we found this place.

hope things get better soon, Bruno. Get well soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bergamo.
