☀️REVIVE & THRIVE ...
NOW
I Am Trying Very Hard To Get Physically Well and Back Up On My Feet 100 % ...
I am fundraising for Myself, Our Beloved Pets, and My 2 Amazing Kids; Morgan and Daniella...
We are in need of your Help and Assistance now in order to Help Me to get through some very serious health challenges.
Your Help and Assistance will help Us meet the basic expenses during this time and help Me to get the additional medical treatment and supplies that are not covered...
Right now...in April 2023
I am now going through major tests at the Luci Curci Cancer Center
I am facing 2 more surgeries in the
next
1 to 4 months.
1. Breast Surgery to remove serous masses and encapsulation found in both breasts.
2. Back (Spine) Surgery to remove abnormal findings.
Of course I am extremely scared that I have to go through these remaining tests & surgeries ...
But
I do intend to Revive... and get My Health back 100%...
And
Then I intend to Thrive
Why ?
Because I love My Pets,
and
My 2 Amazing Kids Morgan and Daniella
Our Plants and Trees
And
I wish to Be Of Service to Other People and The World...
I am A Writer...
And
Once I am back up on My Feet with My Health
I feel I have A Lot To Give through My Writing and Work
But first things first
I have to get My Health back 100 % now...
July 2017 through April 2023
I have already gone through 12 Surgeries and Procedures over the last few years.
Below is all that has happened to date;
5 years ago, in July 2017, I became extremely ill...
I did not know that I had suffered a injury in 2013... while working on a makeover show television project...and that this was the cause of my becoming very ill.
But by the time I became ill in July 2017, it became evident that because I could not eat or go to the bathroom properly any longer (which was unusual for me) ... that I was soon going to lose My entire colon.
After almost 100 tests and 7 different Major Hospitals here in Southern California ...
And several investigative colon surgeries
I lost My entire Large Colon, because it needed to be removed by My colorectal surgeon in March 2021.
When My colorectal surgeon went in surgically to remove My large colon, it was being strangled to death by massive adhesions /scar tissue that had wrapped around My large colon and was basically cutting off all circulation...and flow ... this was why I could not eat or go to the bathroom anymore...
I was dying a slow death from the inside out...
Sadly after My Large Colon was removed in March 2021...
I was only okay for about 8 weeks...
March 2021 to May 2021
In May 2021, I was rushed urgently to the emergency room, and the colorectal surgeon discovered that My small intestine had developed 3 major problems, a Stricture, a Bowel Obstruction and Vovulus.
I went into emergency surgery on My Small Intestine in May 2021...
Which turned out to be completely
unsuccessful and I wound up having several more emergency surgeries on
My Small Intestine over the following year 2021 -2022 in an attempt to get My Small Intestine to function.
My Small Intestine was failing.
You cannot live without a Small Intestine.
After numerous emergency surgeries on My Small Intestine...
1 Colorectal Surgeon told Me ...
"Look, you will never be the same again...
Your Small Intestine is doing the best it can ...
which is not optimal...
but it now has to do all the work...
because you have lost your Large Colon...
You will just have to do the best you can... with the small function it has...
because if your Small Intestine fails...
you will not make it...
you cannot live without a Small Intestine. "
I had no choice but to accept this...
However, then came the domino effect of My serious health challenges that I had faced on the rest of My Body.
Because of My digestive problems, I developed problems with My bones.
My Right Hip needed to have surgery as a result...
I had 2 surgeries on my Right Hip.
In November 2022, I had Total Hip Replacement on My Right Hip.
I have been recovering slowly but surely.
In the last year from May 2022 ... until now
April 2023
Several Serious Masses and Encapsulation were found in My Breasts...
and
Abnormality's were found in My Back (Spine)
While going through serious tests at
the Luci Curci Cancer Center.
I have a few more tests to go...
But the doctors have told Me now that ...
I am facing 2 more surgeries in the
next 1 to 4 months.
1. Breast Surgery to remove serious masses and encapsulation found in both breasts.
2. Back (Spine) Surgery to remove abnormal findings.
As you can probably understand
All of this has taken quite a lot out of Me,
The Pets and The Kids
You can imagine that this almost took
My entire Life
Our Family humbly asks for your Help and Support
