Hi Kossacks, I’ve gotten really into many of the regular Diaries on Dkos. The Morning Open Thread, Good News Roundup, Robyn’s Perch, and I read a lot of diaries and follow a lot on Twitter. Some of you helped me last year, about this same time, because it was last March, 30th, 2017 that I had my first knee replacement surgery. That one was partial replacement.
About a month ago I started having piercing pain again. When I discovered these past two weeks, after two tests, that the bottom plate had developed a gap where it’s glued to the top of my tibia, I was dismayed. You can imagine. I was informed by the surgeon that the only corrective measure is whole knee replacement. This has moved very fast, or I may have been better prepared. This kind of thing moved it into the emergency category to me.
What I am asking for, again, is any financial assistance that may be offered to help me pay the bills I can’t afford while I’m off work recuperating. I have been told it’s 2-4 months, and with this last one taking 4 months, I lean toward the later. That means I’ll be without any savings, and without any income. My wife is strapped taking care of all the house bills, food and needs, with the exception that I’ve covered my things which she’s not and hasn’t been able to cover. If we can make it, that will be a relief, if not, I’m unsure of options as of today. That’s why a started This is the page to raise any assistance that may be available. Thank you.
I’ll soon have a lot of time to write again, and I hope to bring some new diaries, and follow up on those that I have a lot of material in the works.
Thank you.
