A Spinal cord stimulator surgery gone wrong
Donation protected
Hi everyone my name is Melissa Gray. I would be benefiting from this fundraising To help me survive for a year of bills food and my 4 rescue kitties.
On 2/22/2021 And I had surgery for cervical spinal stenosis that has been causing me problems for years. The surgery was supposed to help with my pain it was a spinal cord stimulator implant. well when I woke up I couldn’t even stand up or use my hands. I stayed in the hospital and did the rehab until 3/19/2021, when at that point they told me they were sending me home because they could not get an answer from the insurance company to send me to another rehab facility that I would be doing PT and OT at home they also told me that they had sent off for the EDD which is California’s form of unemployment. None of this was taken care of as of today 5/17-2021 I have only had two appointments with physical therapy that is I go to the physical therapy they don’t come to me I still have not had my first session of occupational therapy and I do not have the unemployment yet which I have sent off for. I have also filed for rental assistance and I’m filing for food stamps I’m 64 days behind and car payments because I’ve gone through all my savings and I’ve used whatever donations I’ve gotten plus the stimulus I have nothing left to give for bills.
I know that it might seem like a lot and I hope something gives soon but it’s not when it comes down to rent car payment I don’t wanna lose my jeep my husband passed away and left me that car. I have it on non-op so the insurance on it is cheap but I still have to pay the insurance on the RV that I live in I have to pay the tags on the RV that I live in. I have a small storage it doesn’t even have furniture in it just some belongings my cell phone bill which is my only connection to the outside world I don’t even have cable I have connection from the RV park for TV. I don’t have Internet are use my phone for that my gas bill is this for LP so that’s not very high my electric bill is tied in with my rent because it comes from the RV park. I have co-pay on a lot of prescriptions over 10 I haven’t sat down count of them lately but it’s definitely over 10 I have co-pay and doctors I see a lot of specialist. And I just really need some help I’ll put it out to the universe I really need some help your people please and thank you
I would be extremely grateful for any help that could be given until I can get on my feet and do for myself again
Thank you very much
