Rob Foster Medical Bills

Donation protected

Rob Foster. Writer. Actor. Comedian. Presidential candidate. Pooh Bear Extraordinare. And now he needs help with his medical bills.

Last Monday (November 22, 2021) I suffered a stroke. I was home, the paramedics found me in time. After the week in hospital I am home and trying to get life back to semi-normal. Concerned my bank account will be depleted. January looks bleak.

All help appreciated, and there is still room left here. My out-of-date computer (which cannot be upgraded without the system password, which I have lost) will not reach everything online, so a new fundraiser cannot be negotiated.

This old fundraiser page is all I have access to, for now, and cannot update the description. May this suffice.
Thank you!

Rob

In Rob's own words:

"Two weeks ago I discovered a gash in my left foot, that I couldn't remember how it happened.

Stupidly I "cowboy'd" on it and decided just to keep an eye on it for the night. The next morning it was swollen and I felt like crap, but I went in to work, where my boss told me just to go on to the hospital.

In the ER, the doctor pulled my shoe off and my foot had literally exploded like a ripe tomato, and was turning gray like a zombie foot. X-rays showed that I had also fractured my foot at the little toe joint, and the infection had spread to the bone there.

My immediate thought was that they would amputate -- the doctor said it was a possibility. In surgery, they opened it and looked for gangrene and dead tissue, and they physically went in and scooped out the infection.

I fortunately needed nothing amputated. But the wound can't be closed for risk of it creating an abscess, so it must be packed and redressed daily, and I need lots of antibiotics. I can walk for short distances, like across a room, but I've been restricted to bed.

I have now about 6 weeks of rehab ahead. Time to invest in protective footwear and extra extra caution. But I was almost an ace audition for Captain Ahab with no special effects needed for a peg leg."

That's our Rob! ♥
