My birthday is coming up and instead of presents, I am asking for money. This is honestly really embarrassing but we need help. It's really hard for me to be this vulnerable, but we are so stressed and behind and all I could think to do was ask for help. Recently I have been out of work due to some medical issues that I will detail below if you are curious. I did receive short term disability during my time away from work and gratefully it was enough for Levi and I to pay our rent and our car payment. However, all our other bills have piled up and its pretty stressful. I will be returning to work on 02/25/2019.
I've had a couple people ask what I would like for my birthday this year and all I can think of is our debt piling up. We were suppose to pay off some of our debt with our tax return, but that ended up going towards hospital bills and saving for rent again.
I really hope this doesn't paint me in a bad light. We all go through difficult moments in our lives and we shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. So this year, instead of buying me a gift, I would gratefully appreciate if you put that money in this gofundme. For my birthday I just really want to get back on track and not be stressed out about getting everything paid.
Before Christmas I began to lose strength in my right hand followed by intense amounts of pain. As a florist, it was crippling. I couldn't do the job that I love. My work released me temporarily because they didn't want it to get worse. I was diagnosed with De Quervain's Tenosynovitis- a tendonitis disease that weakens and swells the tendons and tissues in my hand.
Shortly after that I lost all mobility in my left shoulder and endured the worse pain I've felt in my entire life.
My hand was treated with a cortizone shot and seems to be fully healed.
My shoulder was diagnosed with a combination of moderate bursitis and tendonitis. My doctor says that I will always be in pain. There isn't an easy fix for this and even though I took another steroid shot for my shoulder, it will only decrease the pain a little at best. It might not work at all, so its just some thing that I will have to learn to live with.
Luckily, my job has been very supportive and will take me back soon! I am so relieved and so happy to return to work. I love the company I work for and even more than that, I love having a job that helps people celebrate all day. Help me celebrate this year by getting back on top of our bills so that Levi and I can start saving for our future eventually!
Thank you!
