Surgery fund for Remedios: septoplasty in Santa Rosa
After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Remedios was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Remedios was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Santa Rosa Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $190, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $150 short.
my wife has been in and out of Santa Rosa Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $190 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Remedios struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Remedios won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $150 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Post-operative medication: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Çankaya.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Santa Rosa!
Thank you. If you're in Santa Rosa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
sending good thoughts, Josefina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bakersfield
Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Santa Rosa.
Hope the doctors have good news. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
