So this is my current situation. I go in for surgery tomorrow morning (5 May 2022) for the orthopedic specialists to try to add pins, screws, plates, silverware, glassware, maybe a kitchen sink, etc. to try to keep my ankle rather ankle-shaped.
I registered for the surgery online. You have to make some sort of payment prior to treatment if it’s been scheduled like this, and this is what popped up:
Not that this is just the cost of the surgery.
It does not include the ten hours in the ER, will not include any medications, or follow up appointments, or therapies, or mobility aids, or anything else of that nature. I’m also expecting to be out of work for at least 6 more weeks… after missing this whole week.
I set up a gofundme to get some help. More of the “how it happened” is available through the link. The goal for the crowdfunding is only enough to cover the surgery and (approximately) the time off work.
I would really appreciate any help y’all can give - even if it’s only spreading the word around.
1115/8000 so far!!
Thank you, everybody, for your support!
You’re all amazing, and I deeply appreciate each and every one of you who has donated and spread the word. It would be wonderful if we can keep telling people and donating, to try to hit that goal!
