Too much has been happening. Too much is going on. Too much on my plate.
My dad fell last month due to a stroke. He's been in and out of the hospital and rehab.
Dates go as follows.
Dad's birthday was March 2nd.
Dad fell due to a stroke on March 5th. Note, he's on Blood Thinners.
-ER showed nothing on the CT Scan.
-Dad was put into observation in the hospital.
-March 6, he started slurring and not able to move properly.
-Another CT Scan was done that showed bleeding in the brain.
Dad was transported to Butterworth Hospital that has an MRI Machine on March 7.
Dad was between two major floors. The Neurology Floor and the Hearth Center Floor.
-I seen him on both floors. Let me tell you its scary seeing all the wires hooked to his head to read any changes in the brain.
Dad was released to Rehab on March 20th.
Dad did not make proper progress.
Dad was sent home from from rehab, April 12th. A bad discharge home.
Dad did not get up the steps to the house alone. Dad fell in the doorway.
Dad went back into the ER April 12th.
Dad was taken back to Butterworth on April 15th. They need to do another MRI due to numbness in the head on his right side. They think he had another stroke.
Dad has an MRI set up for April 17th (Day of making this post.)
Dad is to be released back to Rehab once they find out the results.
Oh and the real kicker that is stressing me out?
Prior his stroke and fall?
We found out my dad has Cancer. Colon Cancer.
We found that out a week and a half before he fell.
We have absolutely no idea what state the cancer is at. It could be terminal with limited time, or it could be something he may be able to fight for a year. (He's not eligible to have surgery. So it is going to spread.)
I'm doing the best I can. I really am.
I've been stressed to the point I have stress sickness and its making it harder for me to get around currently. Which is making my depression worse as well.
I'm being slammed with bills I cant pay right now with my dad unable to help transfer funds. (Not that we even have the money. We are on a fixed income till I can get paperwork to be paid to be his caregiver. But I cant even set up a payment plan yet until I can afford to make the first payment itself.)
I have a gofundme up.
Normally I will never dox my dad like this, but we are in a really bad tight spot right now and we desperately need help to make ends meet.
Before I had posted about needing funds for that ramp, and I never got any help nor anyone caring to help try and get ramp, so that is probably what helped led to this point.
We will soon be getting -more- medical bills, plus the rehab bills.
Please. Please help if you can.
There is a gofundme and I will link my ko-fi.
If you donate anything let me know, I will do art as a thank you.
I'm just truly desperate at this point.
This time last month I thought my dad was dying in front of me. So please, please help if you can.
