Shefali was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Cox's Bazar Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for August. 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 $950 short. my wife has been in and out of Cox's Bazar Orthopedic Institute since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without palate reconstruction 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, Shefali struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 10 weeks. During that time Shefali 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $200 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Thank you for reading my story.
