Campinas
In August I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Campinas University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,150, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $2,200 short. Doctors at Campinas University Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $2,200 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000 โ€ข Hospital stay (5 nights): $670 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $100 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $240 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
