Hi, everyone. It's David Gregor-Pearse.
I never thought I would have to need a gofundme page. So I live with my mother nicole, and i'm sure everyone knows who's 83 and unfortunately, she's losing her vision and our hearings, so we live together. Recently, i've become very ill with a number of ailments at the same time unfortunately. I started with fainting chest pain back pain, very bad sciatica I had trouble Breathing and I kept getting out of breath. Here is the list of ailments that I went into the hospital with there's 14 of them.
- Chest pain
- Back pain lower
- Can't sleep because of pain
- Episodes of shortness of breath almost like a panic attack
- Lower back pain and right leg
- Blurred vision more than usual
- I was having hallucinations
- I was losing my memory mid sentence
- I was walking like I was drunk very back and forth
- Zero energy and loss of strength
- I was severely dehydrated and then malnutrition a little bit.
- I was also extremely constipated
This is basically the list I went in the hospital with but they keep sending me home. So finally, the third week I went in the Emergency and through talking to the doctor that I got the blood, the CT scan again, the pain meds at the end and us discussing. He finally said you know what? I'm gonna book you an appointment with our internal medicine guy. So on the Monday, I went to see the internal medicine guy. And he was very good, unfortunately, while I was in there talking to him, he went to do my blood pressure and it was 82 over 69. Well, for those of you don't know that's not good, so he looked at me and said, unfortunately, i'm gonna book you in, so they put me in a room almost right away. It took 8 bags of saleen to get my water backup, and they started me on pain meds. At that point, they also booked appointments, and I started seeing doctors over the next couple of days. During my stay in the hospital, I fainted again in the In the washroom in my hospital room and I smashed my eye and hurt my neck. So now on the right side I had whiplash in my neck, I pinched a nerve, and I had a black eye. I believe in total at the end that they had taken forty vials of blood and eleven or twelve urine samples plus 3CT scans an MRI, xray, and numerous doctors. They discovered that I had no cushion between my L4 and L5 vertebrae. The lung specialist went in and looked at my lungs with a special procedure that was not a fun thing to do. They had to put a camera into my lungs. They found nodes in my lungs and patches on my lungs, so they're concerned about that.They're trying to deal with my back.m6 low blood pressure my fainting my constipation And they took me off ozempic because they thought it was part of my problem. Also I lost a hundred and five pounds in a year and a half, so they think my body is possibly struggling with the extreme weight loss.
So I've been off work for 6 weeks now and I'm having a hard time recovering so this is why I need the help. I tried to go back to work saturday and sunday, so July 12th and 13. The saturday was okay, but the sunday was not, so i'm still off for another week, and i'm not sure how we're going to recover, so we just need a little help.Thank you for listening
Love
David and nicole
