@mincer I am sorry about the loss of your husband. That must make everything so much more difficult. Do you have any options in Australia for charitable care? Spine surgery is so expensive that you really need health insurance in order to pay for it, at least here in the US so I understand the difficulty you are having. Perhaps this is why the surgeon has a wait and see approach. Do you have family that can help? You might try contacting hospital administrators to ask if a hospital takes charity cases. Are there any government assistance agencies you can contact? There are also online fundraising sites like Go Fund Me if you are on social media where you can tell your story and ask for donations for your care. I am sure you are in pain. Is surgery something you would do if it was offered to you?
