Lalitpur
Ramesh was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at Lalitpur Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short. my father has been in and out of Lalitpur Orthopedic Institute since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ramesh struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Ramesh won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 I hope life is good to you.
