A scheduled hip replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $500 of the cost.

Howrah
In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Howrah Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at Howrah Orthopedic Institute told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation 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 $500 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $260 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 I hope life is good to you. - Prachi
