Karim was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in December. The surgeon at Cairo Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,100 short.
my father has been in and out of Cairo Regional Medical Center since December. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Karim 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 7 weeks. During that time Karim 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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $440
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
Glad we found this place.

Hang in there, Sawsan. Wishing Karim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Love from San Antonio.
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Karim.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Londrina donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Londrina.
Sending strength, Sawsan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Peshawar.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!
So sorry you're going through this, Sawsan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
