Headed Into The Unknown Future

Me well I got some bad news...
I'll try to explain best I can. I have had a CT scan, X-rays and an MRI of my neck. Basically all my cervical vertebrae are collapsing. I have now up to 4 herniated discs in my neck and one at my t2-3. My neck will have to be completely reconstructed (if they even can) or they will collapse onto my spinal cord. There are so far 4 places that are squeezing in on my spinal cord which is causing my left arm to slowly paralyze. I can't hold onto anything with it to much. Can't use it to pull myself up or down. My arm is completely numb from the nerves being damaged and doc don't know if that will ever come back. I have an appt next Tuesday but if they can get me in sooner they are trying. Paralysis is a factor in all this. Even with surgery I will be disabled. Not able to move my neck left or right very far. It will basically be held together with rods and hardware. I've had to hire a work comp atty since they think that's why my vertebrae collapsed to begin with. I'll most likely not be able to work ever again. The pain is constant and pretty bad. I'm not able to walk very far at any given time because of the pressure my head puts on the vertebrae. It's pinched off bad enough that now I can't even feel when I have to use the restroom and now have incontanence. Outcome of surgery is really not been discussed fully yet but doc said they can only do so much to try to make it bearable. So that's the jist of it right now. My husband is working his Burt off to try to care for our home and myself. I'm very prideful of being able to take care of myself. It at this point it is looking doubtful. I'm just asking anyone if possible to help. I'm usually the one helping and donating so this is new to me. Thank you for your consideration and most of all your prayers!!
