Medical Battle and Spine Surgery 2.0

Over the past 8 years I have battled a health journey that has taken a toll on not just myself but also family and friends. I had to have a full spinal fusion in December of 2017 to stop my spine from crushing my heart and lungs. Recovery has been filled with new diagnosis, new struggles, new problems, outrageous costs, Doctor's appointments and countless specialists. A few diagnosis so far are: Complex Migraines that mimic a stroke(requires meds and specialists), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome P.O.T.S, causes my blood pressure to drop and I pass out (more meds and specialists), Severe Ulcerative Colitis that has caused regular ER trips, tons of treatments, procedures, medicines, specialist visits and now an upcoming surgery to remove my colon. The surgery to remove my colon will bring me to a surgery count of 5. In the spring I had a service dog come to help me with life. Nana has been an angel and God's way to definitely help me but she has had issues and costs pop up and my health is still struggling. Through this platform I have been able to stay going to specialists, Dr's, ER's, get treatments, take meds, take care of Nana, pay a small portion of the medical debt, and just try to get my health under control. Everyone that helps and prays is so greatly appreciated. I know I wouldn't still be here without the support I have received over these tough years.
