Stockholm
Siri was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in August. The surgeon at Stockholm University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,750, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $5,800 short. my wife has been in and out of Stockholm University Hospital since August. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Siri struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 4 weeks. During that time Siri won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $5,800 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,100 • Post-operative medication: $370 • Physiotherapy sessions: $450 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,880 Every share and every dollar helps. - Daniel
