Hello to all my friends and family. I want you all to know that this is one of the hardest things I have to do ! But unfortunately it has come to this.
Most of you know a lot about my story over the past 13 years starting with being struck by an uninsured drunk driver that changed our lives for ever in just the past couple years I have had several heart attacks had a couple stents put in and now have AFib plus I’m more than 80% blockages in other areas but it’s to risky to put stents in so they basically wait till I have another heart attack. The implant is supposed to help with energy and help from being winded and tired.and several back surgeries, diverticulitis, diabetes,depression anxiety. I now have to have a couple implants put in and outside of my heart to help pump blood and keep it from pooling and causing stroke. I just got results on my back problems and it turns out I have a very aggressive spinal stenosis disease that is causing my discs to push down and severe bulging discs which are pressing on a bunch of levels and causing extreme pain 24/7 and that’s not to mention arthritis in my neck and curvature upper spine which I don’t know what they plan on doing.
I’m looking at a lot of procedures coming up but I haven’t been able to work in months and the medical bills are piling up and can’t afford the deductibles and copay anymore and they won’t do some things until I get caught up. I have had to cash out all my 401 and savings to survive. I have a big land lease payment due in January and I’m very worried about that.
I am on 15 pills every morning and 5 at night not including pain meds and I can’t afford some of them. Including putting food on the table
My “Sweetness” Renee has been my rock my caretaker my savior and she’s dealing with rheumatoid arthritis and foot issues.
She has saved my life over and over so I really want to be around for many years to come to make it up to her and plus if something happens to me I need to know she’s going to be set up.
We’re trying to sell our home before January but have nowhere to go yet.
We have tried really hard to keep this private and get through this difficult time but I have to finally admit that I won’t be working for a long time while I go through everything coming up.
it’s so hard to ask you all and very embarrassing! But for example just 2 of my medications are over $600 a month and no way I can afford them in a couple months.! I don’t know what else to do but ask you all to please share my story and if possible any help financially would be greatly appreciated.
And I realize times are tough and anything will help so much but if you’re not able to help me out can you please share this with everyone.
Our goal is to get through this next 6 months and hopefully start a new chapter/ career . And maybe someday I will be able to swing a golf club again.
I just want to finish by saying thank you for taking the time to read and share my story. May God bless you all
Rob,
PLEASE HELP AND SHARE
It’s so frustrating not to be able to work.
But if you have ever had back pain you kinda know what I’m going through and it’s 24/7 pain. It’s unbearable pain.
I have beautiful grand babies to watch grow up and haven’t been able to travel in my condition.
I just want to feel pain free and finally start living my best life possible.
