Help Parlnock'S surgery recovery quest
Hello, my name is Parlnock. Making this GFM to try n help with my medical bills and rent and food etc. while I am out on unpaid medical leave. I have PTTD (Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction) and pretty much needed surgery on my feet n legs probably my entire life but didn't get properly diagnosed until the summer of 2023. I got my right foot worked on last year and the healing/recovery process took about 6 months. During that time I had no resources, work doesn't offer paid medical leave, couldn't get financial aid because "I make too much" and so on. I pulled out my 401K to pay off my bills after I started to slowly work again and somewhat get back to normal. This year I don't have that option. Last year I
racked up $16k in bills. This time I will be out longer and my health insurance premiums and costs have
gone way up compared to last year.
My left foot that got worked on, was in worse shape than my right. I went on leave back in late November, my surgery wasn't until Jan 31st 2025. I will be out until about June, maybe July depending
on recovery and healing and physical therapy and etc. I am not sure what my job situation will be like after I heal, might be on reduced hours and shifts until I can get back into the swing of things.
Sorry for the wall of text. If anyone wants to help cool, if not cool, or even if you wanna share the link/pass this along, that helps too. I normally do art commissions as a side hustle, right now it's too much to draw and trying to keep my leg elevated, but when I get back to drawing, I will try n do art as a thank you for the support/community art.
