Hello, my name is Bill. Many of you may not know, this year has been extremely difficult for me. Back in January 2022, en route between jobsites, I experienced four different neurological symptoms within an hour. First symptom was a blacking out as I entered the I-64W construction zone in Bowers Hill. I rolled down the windows and symptoms began to subside. However, couple miles further, just before reaching the High-rise bridge, a second symptom came over me. A feeling of weightlessness and felt like I was leaving my body. I was unable to slow my speed down. After about a minute of this and just fighting for dear life to keep truck on road and not run into anyone, symptoms went away again. I was caught in the left lane and couldn't get off at Battlefield Blvd. Once I got to Greenbrier Pkwy, I was able to move to right lane, and just in time. A third symptom came over me, a feeling of being intoxicated. I immediately pulled to the shoulder and shut the truck off. Called my wife and called my supervisor. When my wife and the owner of the company she works for, an ED physician, show up, they gave me a medical work up and deemed it necessary to take me to the ER. When I got to the ER, I was suddenly overwhelmed with extreme nausea. Wanted to passout and puke, didn't care which came first. An MRI and a catscan was done. A tumor was discovered and was blocking the flow of my brain fluids.
 
Three months later, I got the tumor removed, but now I may be out of work for 6 to 8 weeks to recover. Thankfully I chose the most expensive health insurance plan my employer offered which allowed for everything to be paid except max out of pocket. However, I am still responsible for paying the weekly premiums, mortgage, bankruptcy and in-home care along with my out of pocket. I do appreciate all the blessings and well wishes from everyone. But now, painstakingly I need to ask for little extra help. Anything helps.
