Srinivas was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Thane Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,800, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $900 short. my son has been in and out of Thane Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Srinivas struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Srinivas won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $230 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Bharath
