Hello friends and family! For those I haven't spoken with the surgery was a success! Lots of swelling and discomfort at this point but that was all expected. however maintaining life's expenses lke rent, groceries, and cover other day-to-day expenses such as uber to my physical therapy, costs of medications etc. I've tried every state and federal level to obtain short term disability with no succsess. This was not a work related injury so I am not entitled to any benefits from my employer Given my inability to continue working full-time prior to the surgery, I'm reaching out to any of my family and friends who are in a position to contribute towards the expenses I’m facing between the surgery, rehabilitation, and my living expenses after to the surgery. I know money is always a tough thing to feel comfortable with what you have but if you got a couple bucks to spare, if I've bought you a drink at the bar before, Left you a huge tip which I know I have in my 20 plus years of excessive drinking I just need some help right now seeing the light at the end of this tunnel. My love and thanks to all for your prayers and help during these trying times. I would be grateful if you share this with anyone I’ve missed.
