Hello everyone.
I am bed ridden since August 2021.
My name is Carlos O Perdomo. I am youngest of 3 born July 4, 96.
I come from a Dominican family even though I was born in America. I am a bit free spirited since I know less of my culture than I should at least I know Spanish... I am a bit lost in life. I am 25 now and time feels like it is moving too fast. I need to find a way to financially support myself soon and the problem is I believe I have 2 herniated or slipping discs in my lower back and the pain has just gotten worse. I am scared to make a sudden move so as to not agitate it because it's really bad now.
Can't stand for long, can't sit for long, even laying down sometimes.
I went to the ER I the last month it was very painful to breathe. I can't handle the bills from this and I don't even know how much I should ask for... I'm fundraising for the first time ever because I cannot really make money in this condition. I've been calling my doctor but she is not able to to assist me in finding a surgeon any faster than Im urgently requesting.
I hope somebody reads this. I have to lay down during the day because of the pain. And I lay here typing and wondering how I could be so young and wasting away because of lower back pain.. I worked at ups 2012-14 and I probably damaged my back unknowingly maybe in those 2 years?
Been homeless once with my dying red 1990 hatchback Toyota Corolla..
Oh the days having to push you around in neutral while guiding the steering wheel....
All just to not call a tow ...
Not to mention the landlord issues...... Moved out of state to have my own space and be on my own and I get a landlord who has no respect for me and for no reason at all.. I've been missing windows, fire alarms, patio door was broken, lease is one single sheet long, a damn roach and spider infestation where he doesn't fumigate at all. All empty promises man...
Also he doing clean out the shed that's connected to the house and he just comes here and rages out on me like this isn't all from his neglect to his landlord duties...
I hate that my back hurts and I wish I could get out of bed and exercise at least...
old patio door. He left the garbage here for a month. The windows have not been fixed yet. Thank you so much for reading.... CarlosOP
I am practically alone and I don't know how to proceed at all..
