Surgery fund for Dina: hip replacement surgery in Zagazig

In May I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Zagazig Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,200 short. Doctors at Zagazig Orthopedic Institute told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Dina
