This is not easy, as you can assume... I have to once again have spine surgery on the 22nd of this month (this Friday). For you that know me well, I am in constant pain and can no longer put this off. With this being my 8th spinal surgery, I know what is in store for me and how hard recovery can be, but I am ready and not scared to do what is needed to improve my quality of life. I need to do this for my family and for me.

The hardest part is paying for surgery and my monthly bills while I am out of work. I am still paying off credit card bills from my last surgeries, and I have no more credit to use and can not borrow more money in school loans (which is how I funded surgeries in the past). I need help and wish I had another option but I don't.  I am grateful for anything you can do and believe me when I say, thank you from my family and me.
