Intan was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in March. The surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $730, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $550 short. my wife has been in and out of Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center since March. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $730 is more than we can find. While we wait, Intan struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Intan won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
