Judy Baillie

For the past 11 months I have been through this journey with my friend Judy Baillie, My name is Cheryl Devine and I decided Judy needed our help as she is always giving and helping everyone else.  It's her turn.

In January 2016 Judy developed a persistent bladder infection that was very difficult to resolve.
 After three antibiotics the results came back negative, however her symptoms continued. They progressed over the next few month to include not only bladder, but left sided pain all the way back to her rectum. 
Several months later she was diagnosed with a rare nerve condition called Pudendal nerve entrapment. She has tried almost every therapy imaginable to try to get some relief from the horrific pain.
Her last resort she as told was surgery to decompress the nerve. There are only a handful of surgeons in the world that perform this surgery and none of them are in Canada.
 As sitting has not been an option for several months now. She cannot travel long distances, however she has found two surgeons in the US what will do the surgery. The operation is quite extensive and the costs for operation and hospital stay are very high.
Judy has always been a very active person, and it breaks my heart to see her this way. Judy can't even walk a block and spends too much time lying in bed trying to manage the pain. Judy's quality of life has become minimal and MSP no longer funds surgeries outside of Canada.
The money will be used for pay for the surgery, flying to the US and back, plus hospital as she recuperates.
The doctor in the US can have her in surgery as soon as Dec 29/2016.  
If you can help out in any way this would mean the world to Judy and I can have my friend back .. That I've known for almost 38 years. Judy will once again have quality of life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
