help after brain surgery & stroke

Donation protected
I am updating the campaign description because things have changed so much from the beginning when this page was started. In short, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome along with a Chiari 1 Malformation. I underwent brain surgery on my cerebellum on April 8th and had multiple complications. I had a portion of my C spine removed along with a massive amount of adhesions removed from my neck/skull. During surgery there were two complications. I suffered a small stroke and have issue with the left side of my face (eye, mouth, speech, tongue, etc).  I also had a complication wth the intubation and they completely paralyzed my left vocal cord. I have had surgery to help move the vocal cord into place but I have to eat, drink and swallow very carefully with my head tilted to the right.  I also currently have infiltrates in my lungs due to aspiration and a blood clot in my arm. 

I continue to keep my go fund me page active because I am unable to work and I continue to have medical bills. 

I will be undergoing more surgery on June 3, July 15, and August 23. 

My goal is to continue to fight and hopefully recover enough to go back to work in October.
