Surgery fund for Geetha: hip replacement surgery in Mumbai
After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Geetha was cleared for hip replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Geetha was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in January. The surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for March. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,500 short.
my mother has been in and out of Mumbai Orthopedic Institute since January. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,500 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Geetha struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 Geetha won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $1,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $520
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $155
• Travel and lodging for the family: $80
I hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts, Harini. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Harini. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Tlaquepaque.
Rooting for you, Harini. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Geetha
Sure. The biggest one is surgeon and anesthesia fees, $610. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best!
wishing you the best, Harini. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 26 people at work. Thinking of Mumbai.
Hope things get better soon, Harini. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Good luck, Harini. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
