Paul's Medical Expenses
Donation protected
The day after Halloween, my extremely healthy brother Paul went in for his first surgery ever. (Read more below).
He always goes big, SO... he started with Brain Surgery. The doctors removed a golf-ball sized mass from behind his left ear.
It was a benign, Acoustic-Neroma that was encroaching on his brain stem and vestibular nerves, causing severe vertigo and excruciating headaches. The headaches have subsided, but he still is awaiting his facial nerve to regenerate so that he can shut his left eye voluntary.
Currently, the most severe residual issue is the constant vertigo. Any strenuous activity leaves him stuggling for balance. On top of a childhood loss of vision in his left eye, he is now also completely deaf in his left ear.
Earlier in 2017, he had seen five doctors before getting a diagnosis. Once they knew what the problem was, he and his family had to plan. He worked overtime for 3 months in order to pay all the household bills during his recovery time, while he waited for his short-term diability insurance to kick in. THEY ARE STILL WAITING. My brother is one of the hardest-working people you will ever meet. He planned, he prepared....and his savings are now depleted. With mounting medical and household bills, we need your immediate help. Please consider contributing to his family and help keep them afloat.
