Help me pay for spinal decompression surgery at Thrissur General Hospital
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Geetha was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In March I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Thrissur General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short.
Doctors at Thrissur General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $385
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
