In November I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Saint Anne Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hà
