Hi everyone. I don’t like to do this but it needs to be done if I wish to spend time with my family and friends.
Some of you know that I have been ill for some time now. Those of you that don’t let me just give you a run down first. Almost 11 years ago I had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I went through chemo and radiation for 1 year. My Oncologist is great and helped me kick cancers @ss! Sense then I have been trying to get physically and mentally back to where I should be. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened and it is getting worse for me physically and starting to get to me mentally. With seeing multiple specialists we haven’t found the problem yet! It is exhausting to have to go see a doctor every 2 to 3 months and have them tell you every time you go in that they don’t know! I have been doing this for the last 3 years straight. The doctors haven’t found anything other then Chronic Fatigue and or Fibromyalgia. I have seen an Endocrinologist, Rheumatologist and my general doctor. I have other specialists that I will be seeing as well but it is just more money out of pocket and waiting. I have changed my life style for the better as far as eating (most of the time) and not drinking soda and Monster energy drinks. So I am also taking herbs, supplements and even essential oils as well. But even those are not helping. I can’t go on bike rides, hiking, fieldtrips, places like the zoo or even just the store with my family, which really sucks! This is a time to enjoy doing things like that with my family, but I can’t anymore because my legs are too weak to stand or walk very well. I get dizzy and fall over. I have passed out from just trying to do the dishes or vacuum the house for my wife. (Husbands don’t try this at home!) LOL. My whole body is very weak but of course the loss of strength in my legs is what is holding me back from doing things.
So with all that, I need all of your help to get me mobile again so I can enjoy this time and these things with my family and friends. I really hate to ask for help and especially help with money, but I can’t wait any longer. I am being held back and I don’t want to be! There are good mobility scooters out there that can help but they are very expensive. My insurance doesn’t pay for one so that is where your help will be a Blessing for us. I have been researching all of them for about 4 or 5 months now and have found one that is perfect for what I will need it for. It is one that is big enough to hold me sense I’m 6’ 3” and 245 lbs. (but I’m down from 280 lbs.) so don’t just think because I’m fat that I can’t move around. LOL. I was looking for ones that would hold someone tall. A lot of the ones out there can carry some one that is 350+ lbs. but not very many for long legs. The one I found is also one that can go off road so we can go hiking and I don’t have to miss the smiles and excitement on my girl’s faces when they see all the plants and animals that you see when you go hiking. I want to see the beauty that God has made and not by seeing it on television! It will also go in sand at the beach and I don’t have to worry about getting stuck in the sand. With my legs, walking through the sand is like trying to sprint to the top of Mount Everest! The one that will work for all of that is between $5,000 and $9,000 (I should be able to get it for about $6,500)! Like I said very expensive. ): The ramp to go on the back of my wife’s car is $600 to $1600 as well. I haven’t researched much on the ramps yet. It seems that the cheaper ramps are for much smaller scooters. The one I am looking to buy is for a scooter 63” or more. I am putting this amount to get enough to buy what I will need for a scooter and ramp and the money that is left over will definitely be used to see other specialist (that my insurance does not pay for) and to modify the house as well. Being disabled there are also things I need help buying for around the house. It is really hard for me to take a shower anymore while standing. So it would go towards things like a shower seat. And then I need help standing back up! Lol. Stupid legs! Well I’m sorry again to have to ask for help but I can’t sit here and wither away while I miss everything God has for us. So please help me be mobile again! Any amount you can share will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!Hi everyone.
