Tina's surgery/recovery fund

So anyone that knows my Aunt Tina, knows what an absolute angel she can be when someone needs help! Well, this time she is needing some Angels to come to her rescue! 
 

Tina has been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. It is believed to be of the MOST PAINFUL afflictions known to the medical practice. This disorder causes extreme, sporadic, sudden burning or shock-like facial pain in the areas of the face where the branches of the nerve are distributed – lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead, upper jaw, and lower jaw.  The pain episodes last from a few seconds to as long as two minutes. These attacks can occur in quick succession, in volleys lasting as long as two hours. Essentially causing her CONSTANT PAIN.

 

Think about a tooth ache that won’t go away…

 

Due to this she will be having MVD; a  brain surgery in about 2 weeks. They will be going in through a hole in the skull deep into the brain to place a Teflon mesh on the other side of an enlarged blood vessel that is pressing against the trigeminal nerve.


 

She is facing a mountain of medical bills, not to mention the day to day cost that we all have in our lives… Let’s do what we always do when a friend is down. LET’S PICK HER UP!!! You all know that she would be the first one to do the same for you!  It doesn’t matter if its $5 or $500 it is all useful and a blessing!

 

 

Thanks each and every one of you! I love you all!

 

I would encourage you to visit this website to learn a little about this terrible condition.
