Veronica was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in April. The surgeon at Catania Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,100 short. my wife has been in and out of Catania Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Veronica struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Veronica won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,100 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $380 • Post-operative medication: $120 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,220 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
