Rizky's a partial thyroidectomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a herniated spinal disc, Rizky was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Rizky was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in May. The surgeon at Surabaya Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short.
my son has been in and out of Surabaya Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $600 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Rizky struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rizky won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $450 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $220
• Physiotherapy sessions: $55
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $60
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Mega. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
Sending strength. Wishing Rizky a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Good luck, Mega. Shared it with a few friends.
