Hello. I sadly fell down 14 steps into a cement block wall and crushed by a dolly and 2 large totes of hardback books in Sept. That fall caused injury to my hip, pelvic area, Sternum, mid and lower back. I have been thru LOTS of testing and been out of work due to not being able to sit, stand, or move to do my job. I struggle to even make it thru my daily living. 

In January I fell again because my leg gave out on me, and ended up with a brain bleed and rushed to AGH Trauma Center, where I stayed for 4 days. I was released to go to the Orthopedic surgeon appt, and within 20 min of leaving, was rear-ended. That accident caused a severe injury to my shoulder and neck. I now have no feeling or strength in my right arm. The pain between my hip, neck, and shoulder/arm has been debilitating. 

After this my washer, deep freezer, and dish washer all stopped working, something went wrong with my spinal injection. On top of everything else, I have migraines, dizziness and brain zaps. I have more testing and more specialist to see. For some appointments, I couldn't get in until October! 

Life is not the same. I feel like I have gone circles upon circles and all I want is to get better and be able to live a normal life again. I rely on my niece to help take care of me on a daily basis. My savings account is now empty and my credit cards are maxed. I have no help, and my income has been cut in half. With what little I have coming in from a short term disability, I can not get pay my monthly bills. My rent and car payment alone are over what I bring in. I just need to get thru these surgeries and get back to work. 

I miss my life. I miss being able to be normal and have fun. I miss holding my nieces. My 5 year old niece got into Cheer and I cant help with that either. I want to work, I want to be able to go chase the kids. I want to be able to go help my 73 yr old mom out at her house. I want to Smile again. But more importantly I want to hold onto my home and car! I worked hard after years of abuse to get everything I have. I have sworn that once I am back on my feet and doing good again I will be paying everything forward and helping as many programs and people as I can.
