As many of you know at the end of last year I fell off of a ladder at work and fractured my back and my sacral in several places. After seeing a number of doctors and rehab I’m now being told I need surgery. My orthopedic doctor told me when I fell I added additional injury to my spine and is now pushing on my nerves making my legs go numb and difficulty standing for long periods. The photo, I’ve added shows how part of my spine was completely fine. Then if you look down you can see how the nerves were pinched along my spine. The healing from the fractures didn’t heal as expected and with my spine pushing down on the nerves it makes walking and daily activities almost impossible. This is the worst pain I’ve experienced in my life. Unfortunately, April 1, 2025 I will be admitted to St. Anthony’s North, in Westminster, CO for a Lumbar Fusion of my L5-S1. This is considered a major surgery and I can’t imagine how the healing will go for a woman my age. I’m scared to death and extremely exhausted emotionally, physically, and mentally since the accident happened. For those of you who know me, you know I’m an extremely strong woman who has had my fair share of major let downs during my life. However, God as my witness knows I’m not one to give up and I will persevere to the best of my ability. This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do and that’s why I have set my pride aside for once in my life and I’m reaching out for help from my friend’s. First and foremost I’m asking for prayers. God will be my strength as He knows I’ll need all of Him. I have been out of work going on 7 months now. I’ve barely made it this far and now knowing I will be out of work another 9 months due to this surgery I honestly don’t know how I’m going to survive.  I’m asking for financial help, anything at all would be greatly appreciated, help with meals, help taking care of my 2 chihuahuas, anything anyone would be willing to help me with I’d be so grateful. I have a very hard and long journey ahead of me. I’m not able to do it alone and for the very first time I’m asking for your help. I’ve prayed about doing this go-fund me and God has given me so many signs that I needed to do this. If you feel it in your heart to help me through this journey I’ll be forever indebted to you. Thank you to everyone in advance for any help big or small. God bless you……
