Hialeah
In February I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Hialeah General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,550 short. Doctors at Hialeah General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 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 $4,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350 • Post-operative medication: $175 • Physiotherapy sessions: $780 • Travel and lodging for the family: $345 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Ignacio

        Sending good thoughts, Ignacio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
