Healing and succeeding with the help of family!

Hello, everybody! My name is Kim. I was in a terrible car accident on October 30, 2021. I was left wheelchair bound with a broken sacrum, right wrist, and shattered calcanues and tibia. I was hospitalized a month including rehab to learn to use my new body. I thought I was on the mend. Since, the hardware in my foot and leg became infected. I had to have hardware removal surgery. I fell on my knee scooter and broke my humerus bone. More surgery and hospital time. The foot infection has spread to my bones. It will clear up shortly, then show its ugly face leaving me hospital bound on iv's, home iv infusions, and unable to walk securely. I have missed so much in my children's lives due to pain. I couldn't watch my sons final baseball game and I can no longer help much with getting him to wrestling practice twice a week. Kendal. My daughter, has been my saving grace. She has stepped up and taken on more responsibility than a 16 year old should have to because her mom is unable to function. I am having a 2 stage below the knee amputation. First, they will take my foot to remove the infection to avoid risk of infection once i have my stump. Three weeks later, once the infection is away from my body, they will take the rest of my leg, leaving enough bone, muscle and tissue for a prosthetic at the knee. I look so forward to making the pain stop and living a normal life again. It is hard for me to ask for help. I am humbly asking for help with bills and transportation during this transition. I have not worked since my wreck, I haven't been approved to work and disability hasn't even looked through my records yet. I am relying on family to help. Now I am putting an extra burden on my family by asking them to drive to SC from NC to help with me and the kids as I heal. Gas these days is not cheap, but they are dedicated to my health, healing and children. They have been here every step of the way, and that isn't easy. I am asking for help with bills and transportation. I expect very little as I am unable to help others at this time besides offering prayer. Prayers are greatly appreciated also!! I know my health is in God's hands now and He has kept me here for a reason. If you are unable to help, I understand and I do not like to ask. Send prayers and/or good thoughts. I have an awesome support team and I thank you all so much for following me along this journey!!
