Ping was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,500 short. my husband has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ping struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 5 weeks. During that time Ping won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,500 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Travel and lodging for the family: $390 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500 Thank you so much. - Fen
