Imagine one minute your healthy, happy, strong in total control of your life. Your biggest concern in life is where your going to eat that night.
How I felt this moring knowing the clock is ticking down and I have no hope...
Then...at a stop Life rips everyting away from you. Everything you held dear, everything you thought was important, everyting you thought matters gone in a second.
The man who hit us was uninsured and poor. So, there was ZERO insurance money, and no one to sue. I have had 7 major surgeries and counting, not to mention all the oral surgeries to remove broken and cracked teeth. I suffer in intense pain everyday. I did not know a human being could be in this much pain and live. The Doctors said I will suffer like this for the rest for my life. The thing that scares me is my left leg is going numb from the hip down. I don't even have the co-pay right now to see my Doctor. I need to have back surgery because just as the Doctor warned me the pain is getting worse and worse. I don't have the money for that, plus I don't have the monsy to spend at least 90 days attending physcial thearpy and recovering.
The below pic was of my shoulder surgery which, so far was the most painful surgery to date. It took 5 months before the radiating burning pain settled down into a throbbing ache which never goes away.
At present count I have had 4 knee surgeries, hip surgery, shoulder surgery, and too many to count oral surgeries.
I have no family so no one to lean on, no one to ask for help. Last month my job, going on 7 weeks now, my job was eliminated because the economy is slow. Having used up all my savings going to Doctors, Orthos, Dentists, and physcial thearpy, I am in very serious trouble. I am 2 months, last month and this month, behind in the rent. On Dec 1st I will be 3 months behind and eveicted from my tiny apartment. I have no place to go. I have faced a lot of things in my life, but being pennyless and homeless, and maybe cripple soon, has me scared to death.
Blackie my best friend. When I lost him in October I thought I was going to die. Blackie was only 2.1lbs, but he was all heart, bursting with Joy and never backed down from a fight.
You never really know yourself until you are put in a position where EVERYTHING you thought was important is ripped away. I now have a profound respect for others like myself, people who lives have be torn apart. I was so self-suffcient, so proud of my strength and ability. Now, all of that is gone. Now, I live in a broken body, with no hope of escaping. I had one Ortho tell me..."Come back in a 100 years cause we don't have anything for you right now.
I see other people's suffering now. I pray for them because I now know first hand what it means to be in constant pain with no end in sight. The thing that makes it so hard is that I am all alone in this world. Somedays, I feel like I'm the last person in the world, like Im Invisible. I've been through a lot in my life; right now I am very worried. VERY Worried...
The pic below is the widw-scan Xray of my most recent oral surgery. This most recent surgery has topped just my dental bills at over 10k. It took me 2 years to save the money to pay for this last surgery.
Ive had a few people look at my campaign, but no one has seen me worthy to take a chance on. I know there are losts of people suffering right now in the world and there are so many people in need. I thank anyone who has taken the time to read my story. I pray that you are blessed. I pray that we ALL are blessed, cause after all we are all on this journey together. I pray someday that I will be able to be in a position to help others, to contribute to the betterment of someone like myself or even MANY other people like myself. The one thing being seriously injured, soon to being homeless, pennlies , hungry is that my view of the world has become much wider, more compassionate, more understanding. GOD Bless You my freind
