Medical Bills for Tim and Sue Honeycutt
Donation protected
I never thought I would have to do this and most people don't know what's been going on as we are usually pretty private with our information.
In August of 2017 I lost my job due to a reorganization after 22 years of service. Starting in December of the same year, I ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks due to a Diabetic complication that almost was the end of me. I damaged the lining of my stomach and since then it's been non stop issues.
I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Gastroduodenitis, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Diabetic neuropothy, Essential hypertension, Mixed hyperlipidemia, Gastroesophageal reflux disease with esophagitis, Esophageal dysmotility, depression and most recently Spinal stenosis of lumbar region with neurogenic claudication. I was hospitalized again at the beginning of this year for 2 weeks for some of these, plus I have frozen shoulder on my dominant arm/hand. Basically I stopped and everything caught me!
I have applied for disability but they take up to 6 months to approve or deny (which they do most of the time and then I will have to go through the appeal process for another 6 months if that happens.)
Tim also had to have another stint put in and they are watching another artery in danger of possibly needing open heart surgery.
Between me not being able to work right now and I wasn't able claim unemployment because I wasn't able to even schedule interviews as I spend most of my time at one doctor or another. We've gone through all of our savings and retirement money and am getting behind on all our normal bills not to mention the medical bills that are an added cost as well.
