Surgical recovery fund

. I was diagnosed with Severe Crohns disease in 2006, since then I have had multiple bowel recections, half my colon removed, half of my liver, appendix, gallbladder, 3 hernia surgeries prior to the last on this past friday that required a complete seperation of parts to try and remedy the incisional hernia from the Ileostomy i had in 2007 ish, its hard for me to ask for help, i have a family to help support, and my recovery time here is 6-10 weeks probably. Anyways, its a complicated situation and anyone that doesn't know about Crohns its an autoimmune disease in which your own immune system attacks your GI tract, at one point I was septic and near death because of bowel perforations. I am not a junkie, or a charity case, its just hard to make ends meet when this type of thing is going on. Another surgery was the last thing I wanted but there was intestinal involvement so it had to be done quickly, I saw the surgeon for the first time Monday and he wanted it done by Friday or risk the consequences. I am home now recovering and in a lot of pain. Anyone that wants to see pictures I can send them.
