Surgery fund for Meena: hip replacement surgery in Muzaffarpur
A scheduled hip replacement surgery in April is out of reach without help covering $500 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India606 views
In January I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Muzaffarpur Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $500 short.
Doctors at Muzaffarpur Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $500 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $50
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Wollongong so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Meena. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Bronx.
Wishing you peace, Meena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Rooting for you, Meena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Saket
