Giza
Hana was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Giza Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my wife has been in and out of Giza Community Hospital since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hana struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Hana 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 $900 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $580 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 Thank you so much. - Hussein
