My story is a difficult one to tell....on the evening of my engagement 12/23/15 I suffered a miscarriage, Ken and I were two months pregnant with twins.The happiest day of my life also became the saddest. This was medically a very severe miscarriage with extreme blood loss that resulted in emergency surgery, blood transfusions and a two day stay in the hospital in California while visiting my family for the holidays. I literally felt and saw my babies drop out of me and onto the ER floor....it is an image that I have constantly in mind. I can't explain the anguish and grief that I still feel today. Well the grief doesn't end there....
Upon my return to Virginia I was placed on bed rest due to my weak physical state and the anemia I was now suffering from and could not return to work. My employer then decided to fire me because I could not return to work immediately, this left me with no income and no health insurance. I couldn't believe after nine years of loyalty I was treated this way. I loved my job and my customers so I was now completely devasted.
I have since had to endure surgery to remove tumors on my uterus weeks of intense antibiotics and several byospies, but I am healing both mentally and emotionally.This has been the most difficult time of my life and there were some days when I could not even lift my head to get out of bed, the loss of both my babies and my job within a couple of weeks was just too much to bear at times...but I have an amazing group of loved ones...... Praise God!!!
I am putting aside my pride and my inability to ask for help and pleading with my family, friends and previous customers to please help assist me with medical bills as a result of my twin miscarriage portions of bills after insurance and needed surgery after my insurance was dropped after the loss of my job. I have no income at the the moment and these bills are mounting and I have exhausted all finances. Any help at all would be so appreciated... Also please keep Ken and I in your thoughts and prayers.
