Emily-Elizabeth's Medical Fund
Dear friends,
As you may very well know, I was in a car accident while traveling between gigs right before Halloween. Because of the severity of the injuries to my neck and brain, I haven't been able to return to work. Currently my care is being managed by a concussion specialist, physical therapist, vestibular rehab therapist (affectionately referred to as, "Brain Camp,") and my general practioner, in addition to the spine specialist, emergency room doctor, and various other medical professionals involved.
Basically, it's been a whole lot of doctors and a whole lot of stress. Today I was told that it will be at least another month before I'm medically cleared to resume work, driving, or most normal activities. I am trying to continue my physical therapy and vestibular rehabilitation but have run out of funds to do so. I am working to get state funding for this but the process is taking much longer than expected and in the meantime I am in much pain and falling back on the work that I've made.
I am not usually one to ask for help in this way but I'm not sure how else to see to my health. With brain injuries, stress affects recovery and pain levels quite a bit. The medical bills piling up with no work for twelve weeks already, if there's anything you can spare to give it is very greatly appreciated, and if not that is completely understandable.
Positive vibes and pictures of cute animals are also helpful.
Thank you either way,
Emily-Elizabeth
