For 2 weeks I was very ill.

Things seemed to be getting better until I started getting a pain in my stomach that got worse and worse. I tried to sit down and the pain got so bad I collapsed and had to be rushed to the ER. I spent the entire day and night getting tests and scans and stabbed and samples. It wasn't until 2 days later that they realized that I had a cyst surrounding my kidney. Apparently a pretty large one. 

I immediately went under the knife and had a drain installed in my back. The drain starts doing it's thing, but keeps filling up too fast. So... They do another scan and realized the cyst was too big for just the first drain to handle. They go in and install another drain that's attached to a box that's attached to suction on the wall. So now I have 2 drains in me, one of which doesn't allow me to go more than 8 feet away from the bed in my room and on top of the stomach pains, I have the pains in my back from where the drains are installed. 

After more scans and tests they decide to move the drains deeper in my gut. So another drain procedure and they find something in one of the samples. They find a bacteria that is incredibly resilient to antibiotics. For the next 2 weeks they throw everything they can think of at it. Currently, I have to have a 3 hour iv antibiotic 4 times a day, several oral antibiotics and they shoot antibiotics straight through my drains directly into the infected area. 

All that is keeping it under control but not getting better. 

After 25 days of being, basically, bed ridden as they try everything they could to kill that bacteria, they finally decide that they can't handle it and I need to be sent to another facility for surgical intervention. That process of finding another facility to send me to, I was told, could take days or weeks because of the circumstances. They have to go in and scrape out all the infected material, which is incredibly dangerous because even though the bacteria is around my kidney, thankfully, it's not attached to my kidney. But the danger lies in the fact that if there is any kind of slip or accident while they are trying to scrap the infected material out, they may have to remove my kidney. Which... not to sound like a baby, but I kinda don't want to have my kidney removed. 

As of writing this, this is day 29 seeing nothing but these 4 walls and due to pain and discomfort along with depression brought on by the hopelessness of the situation, I haven't been able to work at all. I've only successfully completed 1 piece of art the entire time I've been here and the uncertainty of how long it'll be until I'm better and not to mention how long any kind of recovery will be, it seems I'll be out of work for the unforeseeable future and the bills and living expenses just keep coming. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

I'm not asking for something for nothing. 

I'm offering limited prints of the one piece I was able to finish while I was here:

Anyone who helps me out and supplies an address will get a print of this piece once all this is said and done and I can make it to the post office to mail these out. 

I'll throw the original piece in randomly in the packs. 

If you can, please share. 

Thank yall so much, yall kick ass.
