In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Semarang University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,100, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,050 short. Doctors at Semarang University Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,100 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 12 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Thanks for being kind about this.
