Joyce was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Colorado Springs Regional Medical Center recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $4,300 short. my wife has been in and out of Colorado Springs Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Joyce struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 5 weeks. During that time Joyce won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,300 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $650 • Post-operative medication: $370 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,280 If you're reading this, thank you. - Robert
