Lora's Gallbladder Surgery

Donation protected
Lora  is one of the most giving people I have ever known and I'm not saying that because she is my wife ... ask anyone who knows her! She gives her all ...and she gives from her heart and soul. 

We just returned to the Florida after living for five years in Israel Volunteering  for Bridges For Peace: Christians supporting Israel and building relationships between Christians and Jews in Israel and around the world.

Lora has two part time jobs and therefore, she doesn't qualify for health insurance. I have just become employed at Florida Linen and my insurance will not kick in until mid July. 

A little over a month ago, Lora started to get a sharp pain in her upper-right abdomen that started to radiate through to her back like she was being stabbed in the ribs. It would come and go at first, and it got progressively worse over time. We went to Wuesthoff ER and although they said the ultra sound showed the gallbladder is inflamed, the ER doctor said it isn't "hot" whatever that means!!!! He said they couldn't operate unless it was "hot" and they consider this "elective" surgery and not an emergency! I swear it is really because we don't have insurance. The doctor just prescribed heavy painkillers which is the last thing she wants and she has been throwing up all day and night ever since. 

We are going to see a her family doctor who can hopefully give us a referral to a surgeon who can help. The costs have been overwhelming already. Your help with this surgery will be greatly appreciated.
