Surgery fund for Randall: laparoscopic cyst removal in Fresno

In May I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Saint Catherine Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $8,100 short. Doctors at Saint Catherine Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner 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 climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $8,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,250 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,600 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $180 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
