Struggles are real after Surgery & during Recovery.
Donation protected
As most of you know, I DO NOT like asking for help, but I find myself in a situation that has caused me to swallow my pride and humble myself.
☆On 10/23/24, I was in an accident Laidley Field and broke my ankle. I have gone through wearing a boot for months, not allowing me to work my normal job. Then came Physical Therapy, and unfortunately, surgery is inevitable. Dr said it's now or the damage me be irreversible. I will be off work for 4-6 weeks, and as a single mom, I barely get by as it is some weeks.
☆We're just asking for help with the necessary things such to get through my recovery period from surgery scheduled for 6/24/25 at WVU Medical.
☆Update: Surgery went better than expected. The bone fragment that the xrays showed in the tendon/scar tissue for 6+ months was in an open area today. So your prayers worked. The ligament was reattached & ball of scar tissue removed. Pain is keeping me up as well as the meds. After all the meds before surgery, the pain meds during/after surgery, stomach meds & antibiotics....stomach didn't bother me till now. SOML It's gonna be a long few weeks not working, not being able to drive...is it a psychologist or psychiatrist lol Thank you for everything you all are doing for me during this time.
Update 7/10/25
Got stitches out, have 2-4 weeks of physical therapy. I drove a little today but Dr said I'm pushing myself to hard. I'm trying to work but it's driving lol any help or share is appreciated.
