maggies mission

hi guys as you know This is  fundraising event for me, maggie mcginley.this is my story. I'm 35. Have been paralysed since i was 5. I've been in and out of hospital all my life but never for aslong as this. I got admitted April 21st 2012 and I'm still here almost 4 years later. I moved to my current home in 2006 a year before my first amputation. I've since had 3 in total costing me below knee on my right leg and above knee on left side. The infecation that had caused these as since spread to my pelvis and has started to affect my bowel.
My  doctors have told me I am terminally ill. I am on life long iv antibotics and I've undergone more than 190 visits to theatre for procedures. Now more than ever I want to go home .I don't want to waste what time I have left left here in hospital. I need to try and get home and live my life of what time I have left .I'm in a lot of pain on and take morphine and other pain Meds regularly for this. I am not looking for sympathy. When the time comes I will have to check into hospice care .I could have 10 years or 10 months my doctors don't know .I want to be able to live at home  in my own house with my family .I need to raise funds so that I can do that. Im hoping the council will hekp but ive been wsiting since 2009 for this help. I need to think of things like special beds and other equipment to facilitate making my room and home more friendly to my ever changing needs as my health changes and deteriorates. I also want to investigate pain Meds from other sources or investigate alternative treatment as my doctors have never met with a case with all my complications. I am not ok about living out what time I have left here in hospital. I won't give up fighting .I want to go home and start living my life thank you but I need help. I need your help. I wanna make sure I can lead as good of a life as I can. 1 that's happy and one that is centred on when ivs end. 

Love Maggie

Update April 6th 2015
Hey guys I wanna thank those who have shared and donated to my go fund me. It's so lovely having you help. But I need more publicity and help. I've had rough two weeks and being honest I didn't know how I'd manage but luckily things seem to be stable again but that's my life. Alot of bad mixed with few good and in here doesn't help. It scares me thinking this could be home for rest of my life. I need your help. I'm trying to find out more Bout treatments that can help me even with pain for when I get home. I believe I will with your help. Please help. I want home and sooner rather than too late. X
Update 8th of April
Almost at 4 years exactly. It's scary not knowing what future holds for any if us but it's scarier when your told ho you'll probably die and giving estimate and knowing you may never get another solution or worse live your remaining days in a place you have grown to hate. Please help me fight this or at least try and if I fail let me have choice at where it ends. Please. It's 2 am and I'm lonely and this is my train of thought
