Cardiff
Todd was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in November. The surgeon at Cardiff Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,850 short. my husband has been in and out of Cardiff Orthopedic Institute since November. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Todd struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Todd won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $5,850 goes: โ€ข Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,000 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,750 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $300 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $440 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $360 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Tammy
