After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Rania was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Rania was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in March. The surgeon at Birmingham Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,650 short. my daughter has been in and out of Birmingham Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rania struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rania won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. 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 $5,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,200 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280 • Post-operative medication: $280 • Physiotherapy sessions: $430 • Travel and lodging for the family: $160 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Majid
