Wife Going for Operation

Seen her heart doctor today, in a gist her condition is "very bad" and requires operation to replace her heart valve soon, wife keep saying she is fine but I can tell she is getting weaker, very obvious when she walks a little and complain tired.

The heart doctor arranged for another appointment to see the surgeon, actually seen this same surgeon last Oct but wife didn't want to go for surgery, ended up a wasted trip, this time round I have to insist.

Surprisingly after I spoke to her, she is ok with it, I think since daughter's operation is done and has recovered, so it is much easier to convince her, she also thought I no money to pay, I told her I have money, which is true, I have savings obviously, don't know what she is thinking.

Going to see the surgeon end of this month, operation probably 1-2 months later, after operation need to stay in ward for about a week.

Cost-wise, not sure how much yet, she is PR so I guess will cost a bit more than daughter's operation. For daughter's operation, after subsidies, Medisave and Medishield Life, I had to pay S$2888.60 cash, I think for wife's case should be ok to multiply that by 2.5 so need to set aside around S$7221.50 cash, but safer I will set aside S$10000.

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
