Dayton
Bennett was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in February. The surgeon at Dayton University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $7,400 short. my son has been in and out of Dayton University Hospital since February. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bennett 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Bennett won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,400 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $510 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,950 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $530 • Post-operative medication: $360 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,050 I hope life is good to you.
