Below is a link to my Go Fund Me page. I will appreciate it if you stop by and read it.
I, we (my roommate and I ), are still struggling financially..
She’s in the hospital again. I brought her to Advent Health in Altamonte Springs on Tuesday. She has a bilateral kidney infection. She’s getting antibiotics in an IV drip. I saw her yesterday. She’s doing better and might get discharged tomorrow. The hospital personnel are trying to set up a home health nurse because she will have to finish on the antibiotics via IV. Nobody is sure if her health insurance will cover it.
If she still had Florida Blue, it would be no problem. That policy lapsed and got an emergency policy with United Health via the ACA (Obamacare) with a $0 premium. I think the catch is it doesn’t cover as much.
I’m still finishing up my knee replacement healing. My biggest issue is still some stiffness and my balance isn’t as good as it should be.
Healing has been a challenge. I’ve been by myself most I the time since 5/30 because, Rose (the name she wants to go by on here) has been in the hospital 8-9 times since then.
So, I’m wiped out. Each time she goes into the hospital I have to take on cat care. She went into the hospital the first time was about a week after my surgery, it was very difficult. Now, it’s ok. I do love her cat, Pandora, she very sweet, but she’s a pistol. Rose got Pandora from a shelter and I think she’s under two years old, but she still has a lot of kitten in her.
There is a lot of work I wanted to get done during my leave of absence that I haven’t had the energy to do. This home needs to purged of excess stuff and reorganized. I just haven’t had the mental and physical strength.
Today I had to cancel my physical therapy session because our air conditioner died and I had to be here with the landlord. I’m glad it turned out to be not a complicated fix.
While I waited I started sorting mail and other paperwork. The kitchen needs to be reorganized and I started on that.
There are other chores I need to tackle: student loan paperwork, an application for financial assistance to pay my Advent Health bills, write updates for my Go Fund Me campaign, and look for at home jobs.
The GFM updates are always difficult to do because I am tired of having to rely on the generosity of others. I am extremely grateful for all the donations, and good wishes. I just so desperately want to be on the giving side of this equation.
Thank you to all of you who have sent me money.
We are about to get our electricity turned off on the 25th. Someone did send me a generous donation yesterday, which I hope will cover half the minimum I need to pay. I still need to thank him on GFM. Again, I’m just wiped out.
I didn’t pay my car payment this month ($300), or my auto insurance (also $300), and the water bill is about $100.
Rose hasn’t worked in months now—too many hospital stays. Last week she had three vertebrae fused because of herniated discs. I picked her up from the hospital on Friday and Tuesday I brought her back.
It just never seems to end.
My struggle with my employer’s HR company also seems to never end. They stopped my short term diss ability checks a month ago. There was a snafu over when I was returning to work. Not surprising given that they put me on leave one month early in mid-April, in the middle of my lunch break; I couldn’t punch back in. So, I’m in the middle of fixing that so I can be retro paid for the checks they shorted me.
The only thing that has gone right with the surgery is just that, the surgery. The knee is doing good, except for the afore mentioned occasional stiffness and the balance issue. The allergic reaction is taking its time going away, but even that is getting better. I actually feel I turned a corner on that this week. I had a bad reaction to the bandage adhesives. My whole leg from the knee down looked like I had a horrible sunburn, or even a chemical burn. I’ve spent more money on hydrocortisone, aloe and lotion than I have on gas.
Still I’m grateful things are not worse. I’m grateful my insurance paid for the surgery and is paying for the physical therapy. Of course, I have to make sure I pay the $99 monthly premiums.
Sorry this is rambling, I just don’t have energy to do much editing. I’m overwhelmed.
If any of you can help me, and by extension, my roommate, Rose, we would both be extremely thankful.
Besides the GFM option, I have two other accounts, which might be easier.
