In September I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Anne Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $9,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $6,450 short. Doctors at Saint Anne Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $6,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,800 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $550 • Post-operative medication: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $340 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
