Usha was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Noida Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $850 short. my wife has been in and out of Noida Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Usha 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Usha won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $320 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 Thanks for being kind about this. - Nikhil
