Putri was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in February. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since February. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Putri struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Putri won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $540 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Thank you so much. - Lukman
