Maria was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Warsaw Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,650 short. my wife has been in and out of Warsaw Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,550 is more than we can find. While we wait, Maria struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Maria won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,400 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 • Post-operative medication: $140 • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

              reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 20 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Warsaw.
