... have been completely retired and
something I....plus the occasional visitor.....could read to revisit
my past experiences.
Such was the wish.....
So much for wishes....
I find myself in a pretty bad
situation. Both health and home wise. I am in need of some help.
March was a horrible month. NOTHING I
tried to get accomplished was successful. My lungs were in an uproar,
and I found myself ultimately whacking my body out with overuse of
meds just trying to breathe and get things done.
This past March I was hospitalized
twice. I thought I was having a stroke. I couldn't think, felt like I
was in a dream or about to pass out constantly. My B.P. was north of 180/110.
Between the Prednisone and then
antibiotic I was given, it's been a gastric wonderland!
The Pred made things appear as if I had
an ulcer.
The other med, it turns out, is
contra-indicated for anyone who has suffered Diverticulitis. This
went on for a while, often 3-4 times a day. My number twos looked
like my number one took the wrong fork on the river. Today has been
the first day in nearly a month I had a kinda regular #2.
T.M.I.?
At the 2nd hospital visit,
when the nurse went to take out the I.V.'s and remove the bandages,
my flesh separated from my body. My skin is so thin, it actually
ripped away. Oddly enough, my blood work came back overall fine. So
did all the scans and MRI. But I am quite underweight and find I'm
having to force myself to eat.
Sometimes even just thinking I am about
to go do something, I get that same light headed effect come over me.
It took 20 minutes to wash a head of lettuce the other day. I could
only stand for so long. When trying to prepare dinner two nights ago,
both my shins were raging in pain and felt like they were brittle and
going to break. Endurance limits have been the most obvious effect on
getting chores done. There have been stretches of days between
showers simply because the steam made it near impossible to breathe.
Here's situation today.
I waited until the last minute to seek
some help. There was something I was waiting to come through that
doesn't seem like it will for at least a week at this point.
The co-pays for the medical issues and
changes in my disability payments have put me in a corner. My rent is
due today, Tuesday April 21st. The monthly is $580.00 with
all utilities paid. The last 2 months have paid weekly, $145.00,
which is allowed when necessary. Right now I have zero in my bank,
literally.
Here is what I am hoping for....
Prayers, donations, good thoughts,
loans, anything that can help. I am not being disingenuous in saying
“Prayers”. I have seen that work in the past.....something will
come along.
If you are local to me here in Euless,
Texas...MidCities area of the DFW....and can help, please reach out
via:
You can also use the PayPal button
above. Even though it take a couple days to clear to my bank, I have
a neighbor who can loan me cash if backed up by money on it's way.
So...I am trying to not be homeless
again. This time with a side of COPD. ANY help is gratefully
accepted.
To those offering support.....God
Bless.
To those haters.... I have a couple of
those....I have been in Texas long enough to know to say...
“Well, bless your heart!”
Thanks for reading and considering.
