Camille's Ankle and Leg Recovery, and Crown Expenses

Donation protected
2025 has not been the year... On 01/28/2025 I broke my tibia and fibula in multiple places, as well as shattering the ankle joint/talus slipping on ice while walking to the dog park with Sadie. I had to miss 7 weeks of work and will need to take off 5 more for a second surgery to remove the 30+ pins sometime starting in May, my recheck is 04/21/2025. The earliest I will be able to put pressure on the foot/ankle/leg will be mid July. Once the leg/ankle heals from removing the pins, I will then spend the next year building my right leg and ankle strength until I can walk completely without any mobility devices.

A doozy of a recovery, and frankly, brain surgery was easier, but obviously all of this has been extremely difficult. My compounding disabilities have had an absolute field day and have thrown me into Fibro flares, CRPS flares, and the absolute worst, Trigeminal Neuralgia flares. My left side is the weaker of the two, mostly where CRPS beats me up, so having the left side having to overcompensate for the right, which the right is used to doing, has been a chaotic circus. I have found my right leg/ankle feeling better than the compounding issues.

Anyway, I've gone through it before and I am going through it again, so I am asking anyone who may be able to assist, even if it is just a share, would mean a lot to me. I know times are hard for everyone, but if I am being truly honest, I have only ever gotten by the truly hard, hard times, due to friends. Without 3mos of pay and the medical bills piling in - oh, and did I mention I had to have a crown done in the middle of this? yeah, that $900 on top wasn't exactly appreciated - but, yes, it's been a lot. Anything helps and I really appreciate you reading through this. <3
