Urgent expenses for upcoming 15th surgery
Donation protected
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm getting ready to have my 15th surgery at The Cleveland Clinic. It's be been a hard 2 years. It all started with a laparoscopic hernia surgery in January 2017. The Dr had to open me up after the surgery had complications such as internal bleeding and a knicked colon. But my abdomen wouldn't heal. It stayed open. I went through 13 surgeries and 4 times on the wound vac but still wouldn't close. I got sepsis twice, pneumonia twice, and was on a vent. I got a 2nd opinion in May of 2018 at the Cleveland Clinic and they said I had infected mesh, so in July, I had all my mesh removed and 33" of small intestine removed. I need another surgery because they took all the mesh out that was covering my hernias (I had had several previous hernias), so they have to go back in to put something over those hernias...I'm hoping my own muscle because now I'm scared of mesh. Cleveland is quite a drive and everything is very expensive. I only have my kids, but they can't help financially. My insurance doesn't cover all the meds, surgery expenses etc. Then the travel expenses, hotel for my kids, parking fees, etc. I need to have this surgery to get my life back. Ive been down and depressed for so long and in so much pain. I have felt like giving up many times. I'm so behind on bills. Please me on my journey to getting my life back. Any amount will help. Thank you for reading this! God bless you. Update, I've had so many complications such as sepsis and pneumonia, in need of a wheelchair and many trips back and forth to Cleveland. Any amount helps. Thank you for your time and God bless.
