Janet was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in April. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,300 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since April. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Janet struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Janet won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,100
• Physiotherapy sessions: $400
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
