Brain Surgery Recovery Fund
Donation protected
As many of you may already know, I had a 3.5/3.9 cm brain tumor removed on may fifth of this year. It was found after the increasingly loud ringing that I have been complaining about for over a decade became more than I could handle anymore. The MRI proved what would be a living nightmare. A very large vestublar shwannoma attached to the nerve of my inner left ear. The neurosurgeons were eager to remove it and they did just that.
However, being out of work for three months, thinking that recovery would be 6-8 weeks had me believe that I should try to hold on to my previous life. Rent, bills, etc. Im now in week 16, deaf in my left ear aside from the constant ringing like a brain cicada and still unable to talk right due to vagus nerve damage in my noodle.
Through these hard times I've exhausted all of any monies available and am indebted to almost all of my friends and family. I would like to catch up and be able to pay these folks back whilst also catching up on my bills.
Chatting with folks in forums has lead me to further to believe I may not get my voice till next year and the deafness and ringing is permanent. needless to say I dont get much sleep. Usually every 3 days give or take. Not to mention, its hard if not impossible to do the two things on my resume; bartending and a performing musician. I can barely talk let alone sing. To have fiscal stress on top of that is cripplng.
I held out doing one these gofundme things for as long as I could, figuring that I would bounce back with vigor and not feel like brain surgery isnt exactly like how it sounds. A downright nightmare. If I could only sleep. Thank you for reading through this and I dont necessarily feel this will work due to the onslaught of bad things Im livin through. Im not usually one to reach in this type of forum. I will be forever grateful to be able to turn a new page and not feel like the sky is falling all the time. I will figure out a way to repay you all with more years of musicianship hopefully better than ever. Peace, love, and yours truly, Clint.
