Help my sister Jennifer with her medical illness

Here is my story and how addiction has changed my life and the life of someone I love very much, my sister.   My sister is the brunette on the left!  For anyone struggling with addiction or alcohol please take the time to read this.  Over 4 months ago, my sister Jenn was sent to the hospital by ambulance.  She had fell and my mom could not pick her up, and her condition was now becoming life threatening.  During these awful COVID times it is extremely hard to get communication from the DR's, especially since no Health Care Proxy was assigned.  We had no clue what was happening to her and if she was even okay.  In ICU, she developed elevated pneumonia, edema, Colitis that caused blockage in her colon, in which she needed a couple of blood transfusions due to internal bleeding.  She also has poly-neurothapy, which is an awful disease, due to chronic alcohol dependency.  Basically the nerves in the body sends sharp pains (like pins and needles) that goes up her legs, arms and sometimes travels through her body.  She also cannot feel from the waist down, and can no longer walk for more than 5 steps.  The neurological damage has affected her short term memory, and we are in the process of seeing what the scope of that is now as well.  While in the hospital, we were not able to see her at all.    She was then transferred to a Short Term Care facility that would help her with the PT, and adjusting to new lifestyle, she was there for almost 3 months, again we were not able to see.  Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and finally my 40th birthday, all came and went, and because of COVID we were not able to see her. You can only imagine how terrifying that must have been for her.  Being confused about her new life, and dealing with all these changes without her family to support her.    During this time, the facility lost all her clothes, bras, underwear, and sneakers, which was fun (not).  I argued with the administrator and all I got was $70.  Her clothes probably valued around 700$  maybe they forget a 0.  Not to mention the entire time they were billing the wrong insurance company, so they never really set her up with visiting nurses until 2 days before discharge.  She was supposed to have a wheelchair prescribed to her, but because of insurance issues, and discharge paperwork issues, that too was delayed.  So she has been using a travel wheel chair, which is not the safest for her since it doesn't have brakes for her to apply when she is by her self.   She is now living with me in my one bed-room apt.  The goal is to one day get her into her own place, or perhaps a long term care facility.  She cries at least 2 times a day, and while she knows she has no one to blame but herself,  it still must be extremely hard on her knowing her life will never be the same.  There is nothing worse then seeing her go through all this pain.  I urged her to get help prior to all this, and to be honest our relationship was severed right before this happened.  She also tried to reach out to MA DUA, and of course because she never responded to the request back in November, they say that she owes $19,000, which will be reversed but she needs to go through an appeal process.  Also, I filed for disability and SS back in December,  yet I am still going through the approval process and it could be months before I get a response from them, if I don't have to appeal.  So I am asking for any little help we can get for her medical expenses, medical aides while I am at work and/or traveling, and getting some furniture for my apt that will help her more with her condition, and of course enough saved for my mental state during these crazy times.  (lol j/k)  Please if all you can afford is $5 that is appreciated.  It will all go into her own account for her to use for various things.  More importantly, if you or anyone you know is struggling with alcohol dependency, reach out to someone who can help you.  Family members of addicts .... if you are annoyed, scared, pissed off, and feel like you are alone, reach out to other people for support.  I have had many people around me struggle with addiction, and have helped a lot of people through some dark times.  If you are that family member of an addict, my heart reaches out to you!  It is not easy looking at someone you love very much and see them suffer so bad, and not being able to do anything to help them.  Thank you for taking the time to read this, if I have affected just one persons life, then that is a huge  win!  :)
