Patricia's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in March is out of reach without help covering $1,900 of the cost.

Patricia was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in November. The surgeon at A Coruña Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,900 short.
my daughter has been in and out of A Coruña Regional Medical Center since November. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Patricia struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Patricia won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
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 $1,900 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,200
• Post-operative medication: $145
• Travel and lodging for the family: $290
• Physiotherapy sessions: $265

Thanks for sharing this. Get well soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
wishing you the best, Emiliano. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update.
You're not alone, Emiliano. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
You're not alone, Emiliano. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Emiliano. Wishing Patricia a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
