Help Darcy with very unexpected medical bills
Donation protected
My name is Darcy, and almost 2 weeks ago, I passed a kidney stone. While that sucks, it normally would have been over. However, a larger piece of that kidney stone got stuck at the exit of my kidney and blocked the flow of waste exiting, and a few days later I ended up in the ER because my kidney was septic. I had to have emergency surgery to have a kidney tube and nephrostome bag put in to make sure my kidney is draining correctly. They have cleared up the infection as far as they can tell, but now my white blood cell count is still 4-5 times higher than it should be and they are running a bunch of tests to find out why and I am still in the hospital almost 2 weeks later.
I just started my job in January so I have medical insurance, but I will have to meet the $850 deductible, and then will owe 15% of the hospital expenses. I had 42 hours of paid time off, but that ran out after my first week in the hospital, and I am now on Leave With Out Pay because I would have had to have worked there a year before I could apply for fmla and leave donations. It looks like I will be out the rest of this week, as well. I'm now panicking about just being able to pay my rent and bills, and thst's without medical bills.
I hate asking for help, but now I am asking. If you can't donate, it's ok, I know it's rough times for a lot of people right now. Every little bit helps, though, so it's worth at least asking.
Thank you so much for reading this.
