Mich's Surgery Fund

So, I have some unwanted visitors...
They are called Fibroid Tumors, and they have taken over my uterus and most of my abdomen.
They are so large and numerous, that I am now the size of a full-term pregnancy, and continuing to grow.
They are invading and pushing all of my other organs out of their way with abandon.
They are benign, but causing me unbelievable discomfort, distorting my body, and causing other unwanted issues that you really don't want to hear about, I assure you...
I will be having major surgery (*not* the usual simpler laparoscopic procedure) in June to have them and my uterus and ovaries removed.
In order to make that happen I must pay a large deductible on insurance, and also will have other hospital-related and work-related expenses ( I will be in recovery for 6 weeks).
I *hate* asking people for money, but this is the only way I can make this surgery happen, and I truly appreciate any contribution no matter how small, that anyone is willing to make.
Thank you, my good friends!
