Mukesh was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Thrissur Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,000 short. my son has been in and out of Thrissur Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mukesh struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Mukesh won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $185 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $620 Thanks for reading all this. - Sachin

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care

    • Arjun S. BansalQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mukesh

      • Sachin B. SidhuOwnerAnswer

        Physiotherapy sessions is $115 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

        • Sachin B. SidhuOwnerAnswer

          Thank you. If you're in Thrissur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

      • Joseph Salim Njoroge

        hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
