Sandie's IV antibiotic at home

Donation protected
My name isSandie. I used to be a nurse, but a birth defect of my spine and a doctor's progressing mistakes have now left me disabled and in constant pain. I've had about 12 surgeries on my back and 5 or 6 other surgeries for corrective measures, including 2 Spinal Cord Stimulators and.now a medication pump. The pump is for a minimal dose of pain Meds instead of the large dose I was taking..

But...all those surgeries and procedures I've had have scarred my spinal cord and my body's immune system now seems to be shot. I had dental work 4 years ago, and what I didn't know was that there was infected tissue left behind to fester for 4 years. First after having teeth pulled last year in October, I went through hell for months with Osteomyelitis. I spent 6 weeks going into the hospital every day for IV therapy, then 5weeks for daily hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

But that hat wasn't the end. Right after that finished, my eardrums perforated and I lost my hearing, I also felt like I had this awful experience of feeling like stuff was in my ears under the skin, it was awful. 6 ear doctors including the ER doctor at Mass Eye and Ear all tell me nothing is there and treat me terribly because they can't SEE anything. Turns out all of the bones in my ears wer breaking at the time from another infection. One which has now gotten so serious I need IV therapy 4 times a day. Insurance won't pay for me to have this at home, only in a nursing home. For 8 WEEKS

I'm in constant pain, I need to be in my own home, my own bed. I would appreciate any help from anyone. This infection is so serious it may go to my brain. I actually have 2 infections in my ear, another in my respiratory system from bone that got in my throat, and 2 others. I just want to recuperate at home for once. 

I would appreciate any and all all help I could get. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
