Dwarka
Uma was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in April. The surgeon at Dwarka Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $670, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $400 short. my sister has been in and out of Dwarka Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $670 is more than we can find. While we wait, Uma 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Uma won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 I hope life is good to you.

  • Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

    • You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best!

      • Good luck, Kannan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless

        • Sending love. Wishing Uma a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

          • thinking of you, Kannan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
