Surgery fund for Pranav: knee replacement surgery in Pune

Pranav was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Pune University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,350 short. my husband has been in and out of Pune University Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Pranav struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Pranav won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $610 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $490 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
