Mikey has bleeding complications from surgery

Donation protected
I'm Mikey and I've had some serious medical issues from 29 years of firefighting and then getting hit by a van while on my bike (it was hit and run, of course, so no settlement. I'm currently in treatment for PTSD and TBI, as well as awaiting back/neck surgery.

I had surgery last month to correct spring's surgery that had complications. I had GI surgery, which led to bleeding and two subsequent hospital stays. I had eye surgery last year due to cataracts forming as a result of my fire service and TBI (traumatic brain injury) when I got hit by a van.

Then the lens got displaced in the left eye and bad vision in the other. Sight was worse than 20/400 in the left eye and 20/160 in the right eye. The rebuilding of my left eye went ok but may need one more to fix some lingering issues.

Obviously, I missed a bunch of work while I couldn't see. Need help with all the copays and catching up on bills. I am waiting on disability to kick in, but that will take a few months at least.

Thank you. I owe all my friends a big hug or two of gratitude.
