Taslima was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in October. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,050 short. my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since October. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Taslima struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Taslima won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Glad we found this place. - Rina
