18k in pharmacy
26k for medical/surgery supplies
17k for room and board
12k CT scan
16k for physical therapy

Thank god for insurance.
That is the amount you would be expected to pay if you were uninsured and the number the insurance company uses to calculate your share of cost. The actual amount paid varies by insurance but usually ends up being 10-20% of that amount.

Glad to see you are feeling better even if your wallet is not.
