Bob's medical help
Donation protected
My name is Bob. I am a 57-year-old professional mechanic and an American Legion Rider. I have been out of work since March 13, 2024, Due to health reasons and will not be able to go back if I can go back to my job for a year or more. Updated information as of June 22, 2024. Needing to see a specialist as of May 2024. It's nice to find out if needing a specialist, you have to wait months to do so these days. My short-term disability insurance through my work is really not worth the paper it's printed on. Colonial Life sold me a policy that doesn't cover me ever because of pre - existing conditions. Due to my DIABATIES I can't get my very much need ankle replacement done due to A1C still too high. A treatment discussed with Colonial Life and a surgery that was to be done Jan. of 2024. Need to see a specialist for my diabetes since April, appointment not till July 11th. I was in treatment for my back, hips, and right shoulder 3 days a week since March 19. Treatment was working until May 10th when I got put on weight machines and that seem to turn the clock back to extreme pain. After a week of treatments not working anymore my PCP said to stop treatments. Pain management ordered in May, appointment June 27th. MRI ordered on back and hips appointment July 11th. SSDI ordered an exam to get approved not till June 25th. If approved will not see a check till the earliest Sept. or Oct. of 2024. I got very little help through GoFundMe so far. Selling some things got us by a little while mostly covering medical and a couple very needed bills. Phone, house ins. exc. Now it's not enough to go through the health fun I have to hold back collection agencies, repo companies to add to my stress. I will get back on my feet once I get my MRI results back, so I know what road I need to take as far as employment. I'm down to my last $36.00. So, any and all help will be very much appreciated. Like I said I am an American Legion rider and have done many benefit runs and donated thousands to people in need as I am now. Thank you for your support and God bless. This will go back into the original post and thank you again. I have already used up my savings for bills and medical treatments. I have to get my left ankle replaced, my hips are out of Wack, left hip worse due to moderate degeneration, moderate multi level disc degeneration in my back, and limited use of right shoulder. I found out my disability insurance at work isn't worth the paper its printed on and is only for 3 months. It only pays 15% of gross income then they take taxes and fees out of that. I'm in treatment 3 days a week for hips, back, and shoulder at a daily cost. I will find out first week of April when they are going to replace my ankle. I'm a diabetic on top of all this that I need medication for. I will not see a disability check till May or June which is nothing to live off of. Thank you for what ever help you can give me. God Bless you.
