Alka was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Pune University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $750 short. my daughter has been in and out of Pune University Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find. While we wait, Alka 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Alka 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 $750 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
