Hiroshi was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in July. The surgeon at Sakai Orthopedic Institute recommended a craniotomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,400 short. my father has been in and out of Sakai Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hiroshi struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. 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 12 weeks. During that time Hiroshi 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 $2,400 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $170 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,900 • Post-operative medication: $330 Glad we found this place. - Hina
