Silvia was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in June. The surgeon at Alcalá de Henares Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,050, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,150 short.
my wife has been in and out of Alcalá de Henares Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Silvia 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Silvia won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,550
• Post-operative medication: $170
• Physiotherapy sessions: $220
• Travel and lodging for the family: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
