Fatema was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in January. The surgeon at Chattogram General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $800 short. my mother has been in and out of Chattogram General Hospital since January. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Fatema struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Fatema won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Thanks for reading all this.
