Every day is a battle against my body—my polycythemia vera (blood cancer) makes me feel constantly fatigued, and the neuropathy has left me unable to walk without pain. Even simple tasks like standing up or getting out of bed are a struggle. On top of this, I have developed more stenosis in my cervical spine which will probably require more surgery, the lumbar issues make sitting or even lying down painful for hours at a time. I have bilateral rotator cuff tearing I recently had surgery on the right side which was much more severe than they had anticipated and has extended my recovery time from 6 months to a year basically immobilized me at this point. Severe carpal tunnel in both hands. Add osteoarthritis everywhere. I'm unable to work and my disability hearing has been delayed, leaving me in a financial and emotional limbo. I can't continue to focus on financial worries, I need to be able to focus on healing both mentally and physically.

I was told 5 minutes into my hearing on November 17th that even though I have several specialists backing up my claims, I need to now have "their" professional examine me. I was informed by my attorney that this will now set my hearing back until the spring.

Your generous donation will help cover prescriptions, transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, and basic living expenses while I wait for my disability claim to be approved. I have been dealing with my ex stealing from me, and forcing me from my home, making life beyond a living hell while trying to deal with my medical problems.

My immediate goal is to raise $$$ for the next 6 months while I wait for my disability hearing to be heard, and recover from surgery.
