Hi I am James Rex I am 58 years old and father of two sons
Here is my story and some information as well
Dec 2022 After having broken my left foot in March 2021 in December 2021
I was in the Hospital undergoing an amputation below the knee on my left leg. Due to a foot infection that got deep in the foot. I was given a wheelchair and prosthetic and was able to go home and started back to work that same week. I was able to keep my head above water as far as finances go. paying off bills. I work as much as I can 10-12 hrs a day every day I can provide a schedule as an example this is 25th of Apr 2023
Dr and hospitals are expensive and going to new appointments take time from working Travel in a wheelchair van is upwards of $80.00 $180.00 RT my Ins doesn't cover.
My leg healed and shrank more than normal and i require a new prosthetic leg also went through a divorce so have to start all the medical billing from Scratch as of Sep 2022
- Fast Forward I live alone and was found passed out after 48 hrs at home and went back into the hospital 02 Feb 2023 This time into Cardiac ICU as I had another infection in my good right leg and was septic affecting my heart. I am home and working again just falling behind with all these expenses.
- I was advised to have Lap Band or Sleeve surgery done now ASAP to help with my health conditions High BP and Diabetes as well as my weight for my legs
- All Donations will go to pending bills and I will adjust my goal to only come out even and get caught up
- UPDATE:
- While in the hospital for a simple procedure last week my heart stopped for 16 minutes. They managed to restart my heart. I spent 4 days sedated and on a ventilator. Sunday May 7 I was removed from sedation and taken off of the ventilator and breathing on my own. I will transfer to a rehab facility for therapy. Blessed to be alive and lots of work to do.
