Help Ashley with Medical Bills & Healing

Hey everyone.. This is not something I ever thought I would go through, let alone ask for help from others. Sometimes life likes to throw curve balls and this time it's my turn. As most of you know, my name is Ashley, I am 37 years old & I've been battling an unknown sickness for years. It has now gotten to the point to where I was officially admitted into Bridgeport Hospital... the best place I can be right now. After having another endoscopy, but in-house this time... the doctor saw I have some gastritis and quite badly duodenitis. Well... the pain is absolutely uncanny & I am on Morphine every 4 hours to try and manage it... yes it is that bad. I cannot eat nor barely drink, due to it being so flared. I was told today that I need to be on a strict diet & I cannot get stressed since stress is making it worse. Well who doesn't have every day stress?! But added to my stress is all these hospital bills.. I'm still paying hospital bills from last year when I was admitted back in May 2021... now they are piling up. My job is a very high stress job that I will have to take a Leave of Absence until this simmers down. I have no choice or else I will keep getting worse, which makes sense since I have not been able to work a full 40 hours in weeks! On week 7 now. Unfortunately for me... I have not had any PTO for awhile now due to the sickness, therefore all this time out/off, I am not being paid... which adds to the stress tremendously. I am unsure of how long the recovery period is. It is finally time to take care of myself & my health which I have lacked since I lost my daddy. I really hope to be back on my feet soon.. as I miss the real Ashley.. the happy, always smiling Ashley. Not this sickly person whose always crying, always in terrible pain, no smiles Ashley. I figured, you can't be too proud to ask for help.. well for once I am asking for help, since every little bit really does help. I want to thank everyone for the continuation of support, love & prayers! I still have a long battle ahead of me. My love to you all & thank you to those that are able to help me... that means the world to me!!
