Help Naresh Recover After Life-Changing Surgery

Donation protected
Hello everyone, for those who don’t know me, my name is Naresh, and I am reaching out today because I need your support as I prepare to undergo a major surgery that will significantly impact my life.

For a long time, I have been living with severe arthritis in my left hip and a painful labral tear caused by femoroacetabular impingement. This condition has taken a serious toll on my daily life, leaving me in constant pain and limiting my ability to move, work, and enjoy the things I love. Unfortunately, the time has come when surgery is the only option that will give me a chance at living pain-free again.

The Surgery and Recovery Process

On October 30, 2024, I will undergo hip arthroscopy and labral tear repair surgery, along with an osteoplasty procedure to reshape the bone in my hip. This surgery is essential for repairing the damage to my joints and preventing further deterioration.

What makes this situation even more complicated is that I also have type 1 diabetes. Managing diabetes during surgery and recovery adds additional risks, making this process even more critical. I will need extra care to avoid complications, closely monitor my blood sugar levels, and ensure that my body heals properly after the operation.

Another significant challenge is that I cannot live in my current apartment post-surgery. I live in a 3rd-story walk-up with stairs, which is unsuitable for recovery and dangerous. I will need to find temporary accommodations where I can recover safely and without the risk of injury.

Why I Need Your Help

I have no private insurance coverage, which makes the costs associated with this surgery, recovery, and my basic living expenses overwhelming. The stress of this situation has taken a significant mental toll on me. I am turning to this community for support as I navigate this challenging time.

Here’s a breakdown of where the funds will go:

• Medical Costs: Extensive post-surgery physiotherapy, follow-up appointments, and additional diabetes management supplies.
• Living Expenses: Groceries, utilities, and partial rent while I cannot work during recovery.
• Equipment: A post-surgery hip scope brace, cold therapy machine, raised toilet seat, and other mobility aids to help me regain strength and independence.
• Temporary Housing: Costs associated with finding a safe place to recover while I heal from surgery.
• Accommodation for My Mom: My mother will be traveling to help me for a week at the beginning of my recovery. The funds will also cover her accommodation costs and help create the support system I need for the rest of my recovery.
• Transportation: Getting to and from medical appointments, especially since I cannot drive for up to 1 month, or use public transit, which would then cause me to require private transportation services or an ambulance.

The initial recovery time from the surgery is expected to be 6-8 weeks, with total rehabilitation aiming for 6-7 months. Your support, no matter the amount, will help relieve the financial burden of this surgery and give me the chance to focus on healing and getting back on my feet. I want to get back to living a full life, pursuing my passions, and being there for the people who matter most to me. I am truly grateful for any donations and for your kindness.

Please consider sharing my story with others who might want to help. I will keep you all updated on my progress as I move through this journey.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support.
