Thanks to everybody who has donated and helped out. I finally got the call from the cataract surgeon, which led to a dozen other calls (I hate playing phone tag with people reluctant to give a general price of how much something is going to cost).

So far the cost is:
Surgeon fee: $625 per eye (he is being kind enough to drop it from the original cost of $1900 per eye)
Operating room: $1800 per visit (I made a typo on another forum)
Anesthia: $112 to $400 per 30 minutes

So it is roughly going to cost $2537 to $2825 per surgery (providing the anestia is only need for 30 minutes)

I need both eyes done so the grand total will be: $5074 to $5650 (this does not include special eye drops, follow-up exams and whatever else they decide to throw in). They want half up front and the rest in 90 days. I asked if I could do a payment plan and they said no.

I have $2,000 in my savings which will go towards the surgery (wiping me out totally for other bills and rent). So far, I have received roughly $700 (thanks to all who donated. I have enough for one surgery (depending on the anesthia costs).

I will be adding something to keep track of the donations on the site tomorrow.

Once again, I would like to thank all who has helped. It does mean a lot to me.
