Spare some change?
I hate to do this but I'm going to anyway. I could really use a little help with uninsured medical expenses . I got a staph infection in my left foot swimming in lake Lowell on memorial Day and it has been a nightmare since. The whole month of June has tapped me out mentally and financially so here I am. Two separate stays in the hospital. second one being 5 days including MRI, XRAY, LAB WORK and FOOT SURGERY to try and clean it out and make sure it didn't get into the bone.
They've been throwing the most powerful antibiotics at me through IV for 3 weeks. (vancomycin and daptomycin the week spent in the hospital and two weeks outpatient infusion center through a PICC line. (Rocephin). This thing is very stubborn and resistant to the meds and very expensive. I've heard the word amputation a couple times and I refuse to succumb to that.
Anyway because of all this I have missed work most all month and I'm really running on fumes at the moment and would appreciate any help for prescriptions and the many separate medical bills.
After the 3 weeks of infusions the staph infection reared it's ugly head again 4 days later on Sunday. So now it's back to see the surgeon tomorrow and hopefully not be ordered to go back to the ER.
Thank you for reading. This isn't like me. but I'm backed into a corner and ANYTHING would be a blessing.
