Fernando was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Móstoles Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,000, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $4,200 short.
my father has been in and out of Móstoles Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Fernando 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Fernando 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 $4,200 goes:
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,000
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,450
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $240
• Physiotherapy sessions: $220
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
