Howdy All...I am Bart and I have a problem.  I'm raising money to pay off my vacuum pump which my insarance only covers partially.  My cost is $64.50 a day and I've already have had it installed two months and need to have it in for at least one more. Normally I would grin and bear it but I have only worked for two weeks since January 2015.My stress test came back with some abnormalities.At that point I had my first Chronic Total Occlusion Procedure in March to puncture through a fully blocked artery. That did not work. Neither did the second one a few  months later.

 Following those two procedures, during my recuperation I found out I had a fatty liver. This was taken care of with diet.Then I found out I had a bum gall bladder and needed surgery to remove it. Once that was removed in in October I returned to work in November. Two weeks later I was back in the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. Nothing was found and they told me pain is normal after gall bladder surgery. So I waited for the pain to subside. I did not do so so I went in for yet another CT Scan. This time something was found and I had surgery scheduled to see what exactly was floating around by the area where the gall bladder was.

 So this surgery, instead of lasting 45 minutes lasted four hours. When I woke up I was informed I had three infected ribs removed and a fibrous football sized tumor which attached itself to my ribs. Inside the tumor they found a baseball sized abcess. Because I am a diabetic, my wound heals slower than normal and it has been severely infected twice already. That was the reason for the vacuum pump. Like I mentioned, it is horribly expensive and I have already maxed out my credit cards and burned through my savings on last years medical issues and diabetic medication that this is an expense this is unwanted but life saving and hopefully get me back to work at some point sooner than later.

I would really appreciate any help I could get getting my costs down on this vacuum pump.

Sincerely,
Bart
