The State of the Kyubi
3 months ago
So, I just got back from the Orthopedist and Orthotic Doctor... The results, though, are far from good.
The Charcot Foot I've got is not going to go away on its' own. For the next 3 - 4 weeks I'll be in this gods-awful splint, leaving me unable to work. In three to four weeks, I'll have ready something known as a Crow Foot, essentially a rigid, custom-fitted armored boot to keep my foot in good shape. With this, I might be able to return to light work for a time. This is an interim thing, though, leading up to orthopedic surgery.
Put simply, they need to cut open my foot, fuse, move, and trim / alter the bones, run pins, screws and bolts through it, then put the foot back together. This will result in a minimum of eight [b]weeks[/i] where I'll be laid up, unable to do much of anything. In the end, I should be able to move OK with the protection of an orthopedic shoe.
In short, this is a mandatory minimum of three weeks where I'm disabled. I'll be filing for anything and everything I can, but after 233+ years in off the books jobs, I doubt there's a lot I'll get.
I won't lie, ladies and gentlefurs - I'm pretty much screwed. I don't have anything in savings currently, I won't be working.
If at all possible, I am once again asking for help to get through the next three months. I don't even know if I'll have a job to return to (they can't legally fire me, but they CAN make a substitute permanent and not have any work for me, essentially a soft-firing).
If anyone is willing to donate, this one is going to have to be open without a set goal, as I don't know how long this one shall be. If folks can donate to assist, I'd be grateful. If not, well-wishes are always happily and graciously accepted.
Many thanks, all.
Please also do not forget my previous journal on behalf of
GroudonKnight.
With love,
Mika

I do hope you can get some assistance to make it through the rough time.
