Please Help Save My Eroding Pelvis
Donation protected
The right side of my pelvis is eroding and must be replaced. The erosion began when an artificial hip replacement loosened. The friction caused by the movement of the loosened prosthesis as it rubbed against my pelvic bone, caused the bone to begin eroding. A surgical procedure is available at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York that can remove the eroded section and replace it with a pelvis produced from artificial bone. Without this operation, the movement of the loosened artificial hip joint will continue destroying healthy bone tissue, making it impossible for me to walk. The hospital charges will be covered in full. However, while it is imperative that I schedule the surgery as soon as possible to stop the destruction of my pelvis, the surgeon does not accept or participate with Medicare, and I cannot afford his fee. Any donation, no matter how small, will help to repair my severely damaged pelvis, and enable me to walk again. Thank you.
