Tyler's Illness, Spine Surgeries
Donation protected
My name is Tyler. I am 30 years old and single father of my 4-year old daughter. My daughter and I had to move into my parents house so they can help assist me with everyday care. I lost feeling and movement in my legs due to spine injury. I have gone through a lot of medical surgeries and many complications with my spine. I am starting a campaign for medical bills from all the spine surgeries and being in and out of the hospital. It's been tough because I am disabled and can't work until I am done with the next couple surgeries coming up and recovering from them.
I haven't been able to work in over a year due to my disability. I have been battling several spine surgeries for a few years, but a little over a year ago I've had some complications with excruciating pain, and numbness in my legs causing me to be unable to walk on my own. I have to walk with crutch canes for short distance and use wheel chair for long distance. I got sick with a bone infection in my lumbar spine and it caused a lot of problems. I was hospitalized for several weeks as the infection spread into my spinal canal. I have significant nerve damage, vertebrae and disc complications. I went through 3 major surgeries last year. I was still in able to walk on my own after that. After meeting with several neurosurgeons and spine specialists, I have now found a surgeon that is able to do one last spine surgery that will fix my legs so I can walk without canes, crutches or have to use a wheelchair. The surgeons will be doing artificial disc replacements with fusion along with working on S1 nerve root. With all the surgeries, and being in and out of the hospital, I have a substantial amount of medical bills. Due to my disability and all I have been going through, I haven't been able to work.
After this next operation involving artificial disc replacements with a fusion, I should be able to walk on my own after recovery and rehab.
Thank you all for taking the time to read my campaign. I can't put into words how much I appreciate and thank you for any sort of donation.
