Botched medical recovery

Donation protected
Hi my name is Don I’m hard working person I take pride in taking care of myself. I’m extremely caring I do my best to help others I am fundraising for
surgery complications. I went in for a scheduled surgery to get part of my small intestine removed as I have severe Chrons disease . I went in very healthy as I try to take care of myself.At first things went well . A few days later my stitches let go inside me and I had to get an emergency surgery in the middle of the night . When they opened me up they found all my waist and food was floating around on my organs. I then crashed and almost died because I got a major infection and fluid built up inside to the point it was pushing hard on my lungs that I had to be on 80 precent oxygen. The doctor finally put a drain in me that realized the fluid and I developed pneumonia . I finally started getting better after spending 5 weeks in the hospital. I weighed myself I went in a solid 265 I lost 50 pounds my face my chest my legs all sucked in making me incredibly weak .Once out I found there are many added expenses and my recovery time is extremely slow . I am unable to pay the added expenses and my recovery time will be well over a year . I was recently in the Hospital again for almost 3 weeks again as my infection came back . I have a long road to go and more surgeries ahead of me . I’m trying hard everyday to get better but I have to take things very slow . I am extremely frustrated as none of this was my fault I was only to be In the hospital for a week. Now here I am 5 months later struggling to walk .
The funds will be used for medication paying household bills , rent , food . With not been able to work for so long and finding out there is not much help from the government and all the added expenses soon I won’t be able to pay my rent my bills and food . I just want to get through this get on my feet and get back out there.
