Munich
David was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Munich University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $7,450 short. my husband has been in and out of Munich University Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, David struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 12 weeks. During that time David won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $800 • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
