Yusuf was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in July. The surgeon at Antalya University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,100 short. my son has been in and out of Antalya University Hospital since July. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find. While we wait, Yusuf struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Yusuf won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $810 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
