Help Leecie through her 3rd spinal surgery
Donation protected
As some of you may know I have had a long standing battle with a work related spinal injury I sustained in 2016.
Unfortunately the company was dissolved and workcover was not an option.
After 2 previous surgeries, 9 epidural injections, a host of alternative therapies and a year of rehabilitation I was in the least amount of pain in years. Life was good.
Then in January of 2021 I prolapsed yet another disc below my current spinal fusion resulting in the need for more surgery and urgently.
I Unfortunately do not have to financial means to support myself during the debilitating recovery time as I live alone and am financially independent.
I do not have enough leave with work and have exhausted my superannuation with the previous operations.
So what I am asking is help to cover my rent and utilities for the hopefully only 6 week recovery period so that I do not loose my house.
UPDATE:
on Wednesday the 31/3 i was told that my current fusion cage has fallen out and is protruding into my spinal canal 1cm. I now need an anterior fusion meaning through the front on 2 levels resulting in a 20cm vertical incision in my abdomin and then they will also gp through the back (posterior) and remove the old hardware. This comes as a huge shock to myself and my surgical team. Due to the complexity of the case I now have 2 teams that will be operating on me on the 8th.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even a share to get the word out.
I am a fighter and have been battling this for 6 years. I refuse to give up everything I have worked so hard for and I will get through this next hurdle.
Please feel free to contact me via instagram @leeciemunster if you have any questions.
