FYI; Where I have been
7 years ago
Just an update... the past few weeks have been really hard on me. I've developed a lot of medical costs to do with the peritonial dialysis. (there are costs revolving around sterilizing the room that I have to use that do not go through Medicare or Medicaid, namely cleaning products and other aids.) Along with this I had to have a toe removed due to my diabeties and other complications (blood flow) on my right foot, which has meant I am now attached to a vacum pump on my foot which causes movement issues. This has lead me to being semi confined to a wheelchair/mobility cart (mobility cart in stores if they provide it). I say semi confined since at home I can hobble around to wherever I need but if I am standing or walking for more than a few minutes it causes immense pain and fatigue.
Renting the wheelchair has also set me back quite a bit, but it is nessesary for what I need.
Normally with these costs I would be fine... I have roughly 2-300 in spare cash from each months payments.... however something else happened last week that's devastated me personally, and my bank account as well.
Many of you know I have a cat by the name of Midnight Star, that means the world to me. Unfortunately she had a bad bought of fleas over the last week due to issues with our house (strays living under the foundation and my roommate accidentally touching one of them and bringing the fleas inside). This lead to mids becoming very fatigued and tired. We flea dipped her and the next day while most of the fleas were dead she was still acting massively lethargic. I took her to a local vet/shelter to see if their was anything they could recommend. Unfortunately they gave her three pills, one of which should not have been prescribed to her due to her age and kidney issues. Sadly I only learned this after her first dose.... which sadly lead to Midnight's death. She went into a seizure from the pills, and since I am currently hooked to several different medical devies via ubes, I could not reach her in time where she was hiding on my table, and she fell to her death.
The upshot of all of this was a massive bout of depression, along with a large amount of sudden medical bills I had to pay all at once, including... "disposal" fees....
Suffice to say I am now in a bind. I am already committed to a trip in august, and I cannot cancel it at this point. Along with that I have suddenly incurred the medical bills, and Midnight's final vet bills. This has left me roughly more than 500 dollars in the red, and because of this last week I started a GoFundME to try and pay for midnight's medical costs.
If anyone wants to try and help I would be very grateful, and if they wanted I would be more than happy to try and work out some kind of commission in return. I am an exceedingly fast writer and can write custom stories, and along with this if you happen to like D&D or other miniature games I am a miniature painter and converter, and I would be happy to work on a piece for you if wanted.
