Olumide was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Awka Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my husband has been in and out of Awka Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find. While we wait, Olumide struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 10 weeks. During that time Olumide won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $180 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $30 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $110 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Every share and every dollar helps.
