Hi, this is Ann. I'm in an urgent situation. I'm waiting for a payment, but I've exhausted all my resources. I will need to start rationing healthcare this week.

The first months of this year have been difficult for me. I’ve mostly been in bed-bound. The therapy to restore what doctors have believed was nerve damage (from the coma) in my hands and arms has been disappointing. I’ve recently been reassessed and the new doc said that I had a stroke after the anesthesia event that caused the coma. That better explains what I’ve been going through! We can now start therapy in that direction, and recovery is possible even after these wasted months. I'm afraid to have a setback now.

I also am responsible for my sister, the kiddo Jean. You can see in the pic we've close since she was a tot. I can't let her down.

I'm sorry if I haven't responded to your emails and texts. It doesn't mean I don't care. I'm fighting to get back to you, friends! I know everyone's going through hardship of different kinds. Thank you for giving what you can or passing it along. I'm very isolated, so good wishes and prayers are welcome too. ILY!
