Help Wendy Recover from Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Hi my family and friends, I'm freaking out. My right shoulder requires a total replacement.

My cars got fixed, thanks to a generous benefactor.

Surgery is confirmed for Sept 6. It just got real!

Following surgery, my right arm will be in a sling for 4 weeks. I have help for the first week, thankfully. But then I'll be on my own, with only my non dominant arm in use.

I will be out of work for at least 3 weeks. State Disability won't pay for the first week, and then doesn't pay enough to cover bills and living expenses. I may have to return to work sooner than I should solely for financial reasons. I have medical insurance. The surgery is covered, but not the copays. Surgical center copay is $350. I don't know how much the surgeon or anesthesiologist will cost yet.

Being short on funds is extremely stressful. I'm not asking for much.

I recently tapped myself out, saving my best friend's cat's life. I have no savings. I'm over extended on loans. A friend owes me money but he hasn't come through at all. Yet.

I hate doing this. I hate asking, but I really need a little help getting ready for, and through, my recovery. I like keeping my bills paid. I like to keep my rent and mortgage paid and air conditioner on. Unexpected things keep popping up, like both of my old vehicles in need of work at the same time. Bad timing.

Could you please chip in? If you could give, to help out a friend, your karma will be rewarded and I will be deeply grateful.

I also have zelle, cashapp and venmo.

Thank you so much!

With love and gratitude to you,

Wendy Wiencek
