Johanna was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in October. The surgeon at Malmö Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for February. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,500, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,700 short. my mother has been in and out of Malmö Community Hospital since October. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Johanna struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 10 weeks. During that time Johanna won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,700 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $530 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,950 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,600 • Post-operative medication: $320 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
