Anna was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $7,150 short.
my mother has been in and out of Saint Anne Hospital since June. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Anna struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 8 weeks. During that time Anna won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $7,150 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $550
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,350
• Post-operative medication: $210
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,750
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Isak. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 17 people at work. Thinking of Malmö.
Hope things get better soon, Isak. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Malmö.
Thanks for sharing this, Isak. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Valencia.
Hope it all works out, Isak. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
