For those of you that know me, you need no introduction. For anyone who stumbles upon this that doesn’t, I’m a respected advocate for many different groups and people in the Madison area. I devote everything I am able to making my community (and someday the world) a better place. Unfortunately I once again need to swallow my pride and ask for the kindness I give so readily to be returned to me. I need help getting back on my feet. Literally.
I sustained an injury back in August and after months of pleading with doctors to take me seriously, they finally found 2 completely torn ligaments in my foot. The good news is that I just had surgery on Monday and I’m on the healing path. The bad news is that I’ve been off work since December 14th and they’ve estimated 7 months recovery time. Normally I would apply for and receive short term disability, but the employer I was forced to leave is a contractor which makes me ineligible for assistance or any PTO.
Anything and everything helps, and I appreciate you all for even reading this through to the end. Asking for help is never easy but neither is struggling in silence.
