KNEE REPLACEMENT RECOVERY
Donation protected
This journey has been extremely difficult from 11 knee surgeries and then having to amputate my leg because of mistakes made by doctors, having to make that decision was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. but I did it and I am out of that agony. After having to do that, I received the kidney transplant I'd been waiting 7 years for and it's doing so well I thank everyone and God for helping with my Gofundme at that time. Moving forward with everything I will need help with medical bills, transportation, and equipment for the surgery. This is going to be a long road of recovery but I need everyone to help because I can't do it on my own. I feel defeated. I am doing everything I can to stay strong in the gym to keep my upper leg strong and the strength I need to get through this surgery. I've been fighting my whole life to stay alive, being in hospice and beating that to being on life support a handful of times because of this lupus trying to kill me. But i am pushing through each obstacle I am given. this surgery will get me out of this wheelchair, and with your help, it can happen. The SLE lupus has been destroying my life. But at the same time, I am so thankful because I am still here. I am asking everyone if they can please help me get through this final obstacle. Please open your heart and help me get through this and out of this wheelchair. I am struggling so badly every day of my life between the 14-pound prosthetic and I have to hold up every day to SLE lupus and not even able to hold a hairbrush in the morning the horrible phantom pains from the left leg amputation, the kidney transplant area pain as well. I am doing the best i can with the life I was given and I pray every day for things to get better Please, everyone, i am begging everyone to help me get to this goal so I can get these dentist things done to proceed to get the knee replacement. I am here begging for help, being able to walk on my own again will change my life mentally and physically. I pray that everyone can read what i am dealing with and help me get through surgery process, please. this is so hard for me words can even explain. but i need you guys. Doing all of this alone and living alone I need all the help I can get, also being only 31 a lot of things from my insurance I do not qualify for not being "old enough, or sick enough" they make things extremely limited and difficult to handle when you can't do a lot so again, thank you for making this far to reading this, I really appreciate your time and please help share this for me God Bless you all.
