Oleg was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in July. The surgeon at Novosibirsk University Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,100, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,850 short. my father has been in and out of Novosibirsk University Hospital since July. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,100 is more than we can find. While we wait, Oleg 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 10 weeks. During that time Oleg 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 $1,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $750 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $180 • Post-operative medication: $130 • Physiotherapy sessions: $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Shared this with my family. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Novosibirsk.

    • Hang in there, Leonid. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
