Please Help With Medical Expenses
Beschermde donatie
As most of you know I began having intolerable pain on 1/12/17. After weeks of attempted treatment with medications, medications that are causing me confusion, forgetfulness and excessive sleepiness and multiple delays that were out of my control I was finally called into the neurosurgeon and found to have a rare spinal injury, a ruptured disc at L1-L2 which is basically unheard of an will be requiring surgery. I have had back issues , but have always managed to live with them and swore I would never let anyone touch my spine. I am terrified for many reasons, One being in the medical field I know to much. If I want to get out of pain and away from medications (also scary) I have no choice. I have already had to go into debt for MRI's and consults. The good news is I do have insurance. BUT have not met my large deductible and found out I had to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket before I could even have my preop for this surgery. I never thought I would ever publicly need to ask for help, but being a widow, a one income household, working two jobs, the fear of going into a debt I will never be able to dig out of, after spending over 8 years digging myself out of a financial nightmare my husband left me , paralyzes me and someone suggested it couldn't hurt to try this. I had to try. Jamie's life has been turned upside down to many times. I cant let her down or have her worrying again. I have said many times that we should never judge, that one crisis and we are all one paycheck away from disaster. I am humbling myself asking for your help for a medical necessity. I assure you all funds will go to medical costs and keeping a roof over my head. If by some chance I receive more then I need, I will pay it forward to someone else in need. On top of this my sister is having major surgery the same week and I was the the one that was supposed to help in her several week to month recovery and haven't yet figured that out, and have a dad we adore that lives with Lisa who has Alzheimer's and will probably need to pay for help with him while we are recovering. Two 16 year olds and a 13 year old can't take care of all this. We may finally be in over our heads.
If you don't want to help, or are unable to help, that's fine but I would still appreciate prayers and positive thoughts. I obviously won't be able to work multiple jobs to make ends meet during my recovery, but will again as soon as I am cleared to. I thank all of you always for your love and support to myself and my family on our never ending challenging journey! We appreciate you all.
