Mana's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Mana was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In March I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,800, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $3,600 short.
Doctors at Saint Mary Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,800 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $220
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,750
• Travel and lodging for the family: $115
• Physiotherapy sessions: $515
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
