Naresh was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in October. The surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Mary Hospital since October. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Naresh struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 5 weeks. During that time Naresh won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $180 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $55 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $45 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $565 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
