In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Epe Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Epe Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation 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. 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 $950 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $510 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $260 • Post-operative medication: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.
