Help Yana pay for valve repair surgery at Yekaterinburg Orthopedic Institute

Yana was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Yekaterinburg Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my sister has been in and out of Yekaterinburg Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without valve repair 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, Yana 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Yana 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: • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $510 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $150 I hope life is good to you.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yana!

      • Volodymyr Andrei KuzmenkoOwnerAnswerID verified

        Physiotherapy sessions is $155 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

        I hope things turn around soon. After 15 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Yekaterinburg

        • Wekesa Peter Okello

          Hope things get better soon, Volodymyr. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
