In April I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Varanasi Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Varanasi Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $280 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
