Help me pay for a craniotomy at St. Petersburg Regional Medical Center
After a herniated spinal disc, Hadley was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In December I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at St. Petersburg Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $5,150 short.
Doctors at St. Petersburg Regional Medical Center told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,750 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $140
• Post-operative medication: $210
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $550
If you're reading this, thank you.
