In May I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Salem Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $4,400 short. Doctors at Salem Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery 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. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $4,400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 • Physiotherapy sessions: $570 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,600 • Post-operative medication: $360 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
