Jordan was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in September. The surgeon at Sheffield General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $11,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,800 short. my father has been in and out of Sheffield General Hospital since September. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $11,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jordan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 4 weeks. During that time Jordan won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,800 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,950 • Travel and lodging for the family: $310 • Post-operative medication: $330 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950 • Physiotherapy sessions: $260 Every share and every dollar helps.
