Fort Collins
Weston was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in June. The surgeon at Fort Collins Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $13,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $8,200 short. my husband has been in and out of Fort Collins Community Hospital since June. 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 $13,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Weston struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Weston 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 $8,200 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $540 • Travel and lodging for the family: $560 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $4,250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $370 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,480 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Fort Collins.
