In May I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Saint Luke Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Saint Luke Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $900 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $380 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Noreen
