I'm not going to write some long winded message so I'll just get to the point: I'm having surgery on November 5th to have part of my colon removed. I've been dealing with recurrent Diverticulitis for the past 3 years and have done everything possible to avoid surgery. I changed my diet, lost over 80 pounds, tried many different antibiotics and nothing has helped. My body built up a resistance to the antibiotics after being on them for so long. The flare ups have only increased in frequency and intensity and I'm honestly at the end of my rope. So I finally gave in and decided to have the surgery.
I made a gofundme to ask for help with some expenses after surgery. From regular Dr visits, over a dozen trips to the emergnecy room, and enough CT scans to radiate Chernobyl, I have depleted my savings and accrued a lovely amount of medical debt to boot. I'll be unable to work from anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks depending on how recovery goes and could use some help with paying my living expenses and surgery bills.
If you know me then you know I'm very rarely serious on social media and prefer to make jokes and laugh about everything. So asking for help is not easy for me but here I am. If you can help, anything is appreciated. If you can't, that's okay too! I'm just both physically and mentally exhausted from dealing with this for 3 years and I'm looking forward to the surgery and hopefully being well again.
