Nicole Had Emergency Surgery

Donation protected
Yesterday, June 4, 2019, I woke up to my second day of stabbing, throbbing pain in my abdomen. Since it hadn’t at all improved from when it started the day before, I went to the hospital. I was kind of hoping I was just being paranoid, but SURPRISE! Appendicitis. The surgery went really well and the hospital staff were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life, but now I have a problem: I have a very physical job and am under strict medical orders not to work for a full week, then to only go back to light work the next week or 2 (hoping just one). I’m now super embarrassed. I live paycheck to paycheck (thank you Bay Area housing market) and while by the grace of the universe, I have insurance to pay for the medical bills, I now have no money for rent, bills, taking care of my amazing kitty (he’s the one in the picture and he is just the best little boy). I’m so sorry that I feel the need to ask this, but I have no other choice. With rent, utilities, my car payment, and the basic costs of living (food for me and Baron, Baron’s meds and insurance plus the credit card bills I’m paying off from all the times he’s been in the hospital), I need help. I feel so awful having to do this, and if you’re offended, I’m so sorry. I mean no offense. Since the anesthesia wore off and I regained my lucidity, I’ve calculated the work I will be missing to come to about $1100. I’m so sorry to ask this and really appreciate anything you can do, even if it’s just sending me love. I love and appreciate you all so much. Please don’t judge me, even aside from the physical pain, this is hard enough as it is.Nicole
