Surgery fund for Angela: spinal decompression surgery in Latina
Angela needs spinal decompression surgery at Latina Orthopedic Institute and the family is $3,750 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy3,531 views
Angela was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Latina Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,750 short.
my wife has been in and out of Latina Orthopedic Institute since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,250 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Angela struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Angela won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $150
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,500
• Physiotherapy sessions: $410
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410
• Post-operative medication: $280
