Spinal decompression surgery for Ana: covering what insurance won't

Ana was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in March. The surgeon at San Nicolás de los Garza General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,550 short. my sister has been in and out of San Nicolás de los Garza General Hospital since March. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ana struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Ana 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 $1,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $770 • Physiotherapy sessions: $230 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $40 If you're reading this, thank you. - Nicolás
