Anita was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Bhaktapur Orthopedic Institute recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my mother has been in and out of Bhaktapur Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anita 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Anita 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 $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $290 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $180 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 I hope life is good to you. - Aarati
