Heru was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in September. The surgeon at Jakarta General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,250 short. my father has been in and out of Jakarta General Hospital since September. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Heru struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 Heru won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $440 โ€ข Hospital stay (4 nights): $480 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $55 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $110 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $105 Glad we found this place. - Kartika
