Sumbal was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Lahore Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $900, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $450 short. my wife has been in and out of Lahore Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $900 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sumbal struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Sumbal won't be able to work a full shift, 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: • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $90 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $340 Thanks for being kind about this. - Zainab
