Still hoping to get some donations rolling in as I am looking to get Connor some summer activities (and yes I need to get him signed up early!) I'm looking at all the options out there and applying for scholarships but I know there will of course be costs attributed with it, even if it's just the gas to get him to and from... If you'd like to help out please do so here! If you know someone who may want to help out a nine year old with autism go to summer camp please by all means share this page!

Ughh, been unable to sleep a lot lately- for many reasons, but one being that my carpel tunnel (both wrists) is acting up REALLY badly right now.... both are super inflamed and wake me up throbbing at night unable to sleep again until the next night.... Anyway adding to my "wish list" a visit to my ortho doc to get the injections I get that last a minimum 6months of pain free carpel tunnel time! But I called and it's $400 up front :(

In August 2012 I had brain surgery to help alleviate my Trigeminal Neuralgia pain (a.k.a. The Suicide Disease).  The surgery didn't work and actually ended up having some major side effects that have left me disabled.  I am unable to be upright more than 4 hours at a time without having major vertigo issues that make it to where I have to lay down at a 90 degree angle... I now have strange sensations in the left half of my face/mouth/throat so it's very difficult to chew and swallow foods and I can't feel to swallow my medications so have to do so with applesauce or pudding so it doesn't get 'lost' in my mouth.  Since my tongue is also affected my speech comes and goes from fine to slurred and stuttered, it hurts to speak at all and my tongue often feels as if I'm licking an electrial outlet.  My vision has been distorted to where it's very hard for me to look at someone shaking their head for instance, it's very hard to focus on anything visually and if I look at things that are moving to quickly it often triggers TN attacks in my eye/forhead area. 

 

Since I wasn't able to return to work after my short term disability and none of my doctors know if I'll be able to return to work at all I was terminated from my job- 12 years down the drain.  I also lost my health insurance and currently have no income thus no way to pay my bills or mortgage.  I'm hoping to raise some money through fundraisers with the help of friends and through this site. 


I will eventually be having another brain surgery, although I have to have insurance at that point and the doctor wants me to wait at least a year from my last surgery.  I want to have the stimulator removed from my brain so it doesn't cause any issues in the future, it can be a scary surgery as they don't know how it will go until they actually open my skull and see how much scar tissue I have from the orginal surgery. 

 

If you're able to contribute to help me thank you so very much! If you can't contribute financially please remember there are many ways you can help! Even sharing my page with others helps!!!
