Hello, I am new to this website and honestly a tad skeptical. However, this is my story to anyone who is interested in reading it. I pray that something good comes out of everything I do, and wish the best to all the readers; the people who have shared a part of themselves. On August 2nd my esophagus ruptured and to date I've had 12 bands put in. I also lost my apartment on Sept 1st. I had to put everything I own in storage of which I'm now 3 months behind, and anything I can give them is being eaten up by late fees. I have degenerative bone loss in my lower spine with a herniated disk and have had a series of cortizone shots which gave me little to no comfort. I recently got a second opinion and it was quite clear I have arthritis in my lower spine and am now scheduled for a series of flagesett injections which I understand are very painful. And if that hasn't been enough to deal with, some very recent lab work showed some of my numbers were high which corrulated with previous imaging; the doctors two weeks ago found a rapid growth on my liver growing upward and I won't have full results for 3 more days. I lost my car as well, and getting to dr. Appointments, and belive me there's a lot! Is very difficult. I truly think I give the word "HUMBLE" a whole new meaning. I've been basically homeless living here and there, fortunately for me I reunited with my sister and am staying with her, but its only temporary because they are moving. I've been considered disabled as of sept, which just kicked in. Two hundred a month doesn't go far, as 50 of it pays for my cell phone which I need for my medical appointments. I am in desperate need of a car to get to these appointments, as well as give me back some self worth. I am mentally drained, I don't know how much more I can handle. I have very little support with the exception of my therapist which I can't get to. Sometimes I find myself thinking about some of the people that have so much, and our government so busy helping everyone else but our own, that we pool together to help people. I dislike sounding pathetic, because I still have faith and hope but is it enough? I'm asking for help. I feel lost most days as I'm sure some of you do. I truly am a good natured soul. I could probably start a business from home, wherever that will be, I was the last person on earth to see star wars, I'll probably be the last to own a computer! LOL...
