Surgery fund for Narayan: valve repair surgery in Lalitpur

Narayan was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Lalitpur General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $950 short. my husband has been in and out of Lalitpur General Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find. While we wait, Narayan struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Narayan won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $350 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 Glad we found this place.
