Sarah was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in July. The surgeon at Anaheim University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,950, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,950 short. my wife has been in and out of Anaheim University Hospital since July. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,950 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sarah struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Sarah 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 $3,950 goes: • Post-operative medication: $170 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $630 • Travel and lodging for the family: $360 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $390 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Michael
