Surgery fund for Addison: laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in Albany
After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Addison was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States6,011 views
In December I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Albany General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $12,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $8,750 short.
Doctors at Albany General Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $12,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $8,750 goes:
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,800
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,150
• Post-operative medication: $290
• Physiotherapy sessions: $510
