Arlington
Adrian was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Arlington Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,700, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $2,600 short. my husband has been in and out of Arlington Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adrian 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. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Adrian won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. 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 $2,600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Physiotherapy sessions: $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,400 Thanks for reading all this. - Clara
