Back Surgery #2
Donation protected
Hi my name is Lydia Gutierrez born and raised in Casa Grande Az. Many who know me know that I have been dealing with back issues since the age of 10. For several years I went from specialist to specialist did test after test to find out what was wrong. No Dr. was ever sure enough to tell me what was wrong. I got several diagnostics ranging from arthritis, scoliosis, herniated disks, and degenerative disk disease.
At the age of 22 I got my first real back surgery for a herniated disk that caused my legs to go numb. After surgery I felt somewhat normal. Felt like an actual person who could go for long walks and could stand for more than 30 minutes. Those things are valuable to me. Unfortunately 3 years later I don’t feel so normal anymore. Pain is an everyday thing. Simply getting up from bed every morning is a struggle, but I gotta keep going right?
The reason I’m here is because I’m asking for a favor. I’ve never been the one to ask for help let alone money. However I recently spoke to a doctor at the Laser Spine Institute in Scottsdale who said they could help me. Finally I find someone who tells me they can help me. Word with such relief, until I talk to financial department. A surgery costing about $12,000 out of pocket.
So I’m here asking for your help in meeting my out of pocket expenses for this surgery. Any contribution is a true blessing. Thank you!
