The Struggle is Real ~ Hallelujah Anasuya Isaacs

I am reaching out for love and support as I head into a very challenging new phase of my healing. This year came with the need for four surgeries, one of which I had in February. My next surgery is set for April 15th. All these procedures are to correct damage to my body that I sustained from my near-fatal car accident 4 years ago, where I suffered a significant TBI (Traumatic brain injury) and many broken parts. Since then, I have been living with chronic, debilitating pain and neurological challenges that impair my vision, short-term memory, and cognitive and motor skills. Both my knees and shoulders were damaged and needed repair. My left shoulder and left knee have been repaired. This year, the torn tendon in my right shoulder and both my right knee and kneecap will be totally replaced. I must find a new neurologist now because things are getting worse instead of improving. The most concerning surgery that is coming up is to remove the mass in my right adrenal gland to prevent it from turning into Stage 2 cancer. I'm told that this will be the most complicated surgery, requiring three different specialists to perform.

I am exhausted and depleted. My non-functioning adrenal alone is enough to keep me on my back. Adrenals are our bodies' batteries, the source of our adrenaline and energy. Unfortunately, several other mitigating factors keep me feeling drained and depleted. I am so grateful for all the days I have been able to get up and get going, once again, with my walker. I spend 8-10 days each month in medical appointments, which is down from 20 days/month in my first year of recovery. I have been addressing all this and more by myself, going to my appointments alone. If I had not crashed in California, I wouldn't be in this beautiful Golden State. I had no intention of living here. I have no family here. I did have a handful of people I adored who lived here, so I knew a few people. Thank God! So I am really grateful for my new friends, some of whom have become like family, who have helped me with shelter, food, shopping, clothing, and transportation along the way.

I have reached a new breaking point. Everything is challenging for me right now, especially with my cognitive skills. It's scary having an increasingly diminished capacity. I can no longer do it by myself. It's been four long years of much physical, emotional, and psychological pain and great suffering. I have been suffering with complex PTSD, high anxiety, and depression, and suicidal ideations that are quieting down, hallelujah.

The savings I accumulated before my tragic car crash have been depleted many times over. Whatever I am able to generate goes directly into my health care for all of the things my insurance does not cover. I have gone without many things (essential clothing, shoes, sometimes toiletries, etc.) because health is my priority.

At this critical juncture of my recovery, I know I would be served by holistic means to counteract the drugs, anesthesia, radiation, and trauma that surgery inflicts. Being treated by many outstanding specialists who address their body part areas of expertise has been an immense blessing. However, no one has looked at the whole of me and how all my physical challenges are connected beyond "as a result of the car accident." For example, I just discovered that another contributing factor to my orthopedic challenges comes from the part of my brain that got hit. I had to connect the dots for the doctors (hence my need for a new neurologist). Some holistic procedures I'd like to try are:

• Rent

• Laptop (I fell with my laptop in hand and it broke it)

• Time in a hyperbaric chamber to restore oxygen to my brain and body.

• Acupuncture.

• Deep tissue massage.

• Osteopathy.

• Naturopathy.

• Deep detoxing of my kidneys, liver, pancreas, and gut to flush out heavy metal toxins, radiation, and parasites.

• Ketamine therapy for the CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

• Living expenses, including monthly storage fee for my possessions, as I live in a roommate situation, which is already furnished.

None of these treatments are covered by my insurance, making them cost-prohibitive. I also need special vitamins and minerals for the rest of my life because my body no longer produces them, which is quite expensive. I can only work sporadically now, so everything is a bit cost-prohibitive, to be honest.

Starting in late April/early May, I will be offering a few art and creative writing courses, talks, and art processes on the Black Madonna, as well as some other fun work. Please stay tuned.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your contributions to helping me during this trial by fire.

No amount is too small or too much!

Blessings and deep gratitude!
