In January I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Saint Mary Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $5,550 short. Doctors at Saint Mary Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $5,550 goes: • Post-operative medication: $270 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,800 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $260 • Travel and lodging for the family: $155 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,065 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
