A New Back For Misty
Donation protected
Please help me help Misty pay for a new back!
Misty is only 31 years old. She is too young to have to experience the things that she is.
After two years of severely declining health, multiple blood tests, diagnostic studies, and feelings of hopelessness, Misty found out that her body is in such intense pain and duress that it is causing her to experience symptoms including severe weight loss, tooth loss (malnutrition), gastrointestinal symptoms, weakness, fatigue, and intense diffuse pain. The culprit? Her back!!! She has severe degenerative disk disease with bulging disks in multiple areas it is amazing she can even stand up. There are areas of debilitating spinal stenosis, (places where the spinal cord is severely pinched), and inflammation throughout.
Misty has four young children who are very dependent on her. Her oldest child more so, being Autistic, depends on Misty to help her with her activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, etc) which is trying enough for Misty to accomplish these tasks for herself.
She received the answers she was hoping for... She doesn't HAVE to live this way!
She has an appointment in September to discuss surgery with a Lubbock neurosurgeon.
Misty has insurance through the Affordable Care Act which limits her options (one reason why she has to go to Lubbock). She has a high individual deductible to meet, has limited coverage, and HUGE expenses ahead of her!
Her husband Nick has been her rock through all of this trying to provide for his family so that Misty would not worry about her absent income contribution to the household.
With help, we can ease their financial burdens and raise the money she needs to get this surgery so that she can be the person she is... trapped in a body that won't let her.... An Energetic, athletic, outdoorsy, life loving, involved, people person who can play with her kids, be attentive, walk without a cane, and live a day without intense pain.
Thank you SOOO much for your donation considerations or even taking the time to SHARE this GoFundMe campaign!
