Surgery fund for Kalyani: palate reconstruction surgery in Mysuru

In April I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Mysuru General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $700 short. Doctors at Mysuru General Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $700 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $175 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $485 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
