Well, my cover photo started everything. I went in with a sore wrist and woke up to my little sister Liz rubbing my arm 12 days later. I freaked out and started crying because I could only open my eyes. I couldn't talk or move any part of my body. I thought I was paralyzed. For some reason (which I haven't found out yet), they intubated me. I had a full-time doctor and two full-time nurses assigned to me at all times. I almost checked out twice.

I was diagnosed with CHRONIC MYLOID LEUKEMIA 6 years ago. I am not handling this very well. How does someone get this who was healthy as an ox? I have my tonsils, wisdom teeth, and no major surgeries. Most my family members have bad hearts (especially the males). Mine is perfect. Never smoked a cigarette and have done physical work every day for 46 years. I'm finally handling this better in my head now.

Unfortunately, right when I got better, on February 5th someone took a left turn in front of me and totaled my truck. This jammed my femur into my hip (which is full of arthritis just like the rest of my joints. Especially my fingers and wrists). A week and a half later I couldn't walk or bear the pain and called 911 to go a half mile to the hospital.

Since then I have been in and out of the hospital for three and a half months. In the last year from today's date, I have been in the hospital for approximately 6 months. Due to my health, I am unable to work and did my damnest to keep my belongings. I have lost my house, my truck, and my storage! I own a duffle bag of clothes! Yep, that's it.

I finally decided I'm not leaving till I'm fixed. At one time I gained so much fluid in my body that it split my left shin open and after two and a half months I have two 2 inch by 6 inch scars on my shin and calf. My doctor told me i needed a blood transfusion, when I was there they took me to ICU because my blood pressure was 210/130. I lost 55 POUNDS of fluid in a week in the hospital.
I am currently in a care facility after calling 911 again. I weigh 175LBS. I usually weigh 220lbs. Haven't weighed that since 1984. I currently have been in the hospital for three weeks and in a care facility for a week. I have approximately 4 to 6 weeks left in this care facility. (Rio Vista acute post care facility in Peoria AZ).

IN MY HEAD I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I DID TO DESERVE THIS. I am dealing with this a lot better now. Still alot of questions nobody can answer. My chemo pills are 20 thousand dollars a month. Luckily my insurance covers it.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. ANYTHING WILL HELP. NEED TO FIND NEW PLACE TO LIVE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. ONCE AGAIN THANKS!

PLEASE, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! I DEFINITELY NEED SOME HONEST HELP.

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU !!!!!!

I AM NOT READY TO CHECK OUT YET. I HAVE THREE BEAUTIFUL BOYS(AND TWO ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DAUGHTER IN LAWS) AND TWO BEAUTIFUL GRANDSONS.
I AM SUPPOSE TO BE ENJOYING LIFE NOT LAYING IN A HOSPITAL BED!!¡
