Manasi was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in January. The surgeon at Mumbai General Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mumbai General Hospital since January. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Manasi 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 4 weeks. During that time Manasi won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $950 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $135 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $380 Thank you so much.

  • So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Campinas.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manasi.

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. post-operative medication is the biggest at $40. Appreciate you taking the time.

      Wishing you the best. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 36 people at work. God bless.

      • take care, Mangesh. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
