Heather Mattila Lower Back Recovery
Donation protected
Hello everyone.. My name is Heather. On January 27, 2017 while I was work, my whole world changed. I was pulling one of our meat barrels out the grocery receiving door (a huge garage door)for the meat dump truck and as I was doing that, someone came in from behind me and pulled the cord to bring the door down, that accidentally slammed on my lower back, causing numbness and tingling down my right leg to my toes that I didn't have previous to impact. From then on I was put on restrictions and had to go from full time hours to part time hours. On November 30, 2017, I had lower back surgery on my L4 and L5.. a fusion with titanium hardware put in.. I was in the hospital for 4 days.. Healing had been going well, so my surgeon and I thought until this past May he and his colleague seen crumbling in between the screws of my vertebra on a CT scan.. Enough damage to need a 2nd lower back surgery in the same location, consisting of cleaning out the crumble, putting in a titanium brace and a special filling between the brace.. this 2nd surgery was done on May 31st.. I was in the hospital for 2 days.. With not working since November 25, 2017 my finances are suffering substantially.. my family and I have a mortgage, utilities, and vehicle insurance.. I humbly ask for your donation so my family and I ❤(I am a single mother of two wonderful sons and we live together with my retired mother who is on a limited income)❤can have peace mind knowing your donation will cover our monthly expenses until I can return to work.. Thank you for your understanding, kindness and willingness to help my family and I.
** We are trying to stay out of Forclosure on our home.. so far.. due to donations.. we have been able to accomplish this..
