Support Michael and my medical cost.  

it’s hard to believe that I had been in Eisenhower  for 4 weeks then Carlotta for another.   Yes, I have been hospitalized for 5 weeks; that doesn’t include the surgery days   

while I am getting better, everyday I receive another online bill.   Please consider supporting my request for assistance with my growing medical expense outside of the insurance world    

On November 18, I had surgery at Eisenhower Health.   I did well after a four hour surgery and was released the next day.   Three days later, I returned to Eisenhower via Paramedics after losing my strength and developing a brain fog.  I am still hospitalized  

I was diagnosed with a bacteria called c.dff.   The bacteria infected me during surgery and attacked my kidneys, bowels, strength plus created a brain fog.  I now must have dialysis. The bacteria can and does kill.  I dodged that bullet.  I literally lost ten days; I have no memory of that time period 

While I slowly recover, my insurance is not covering everything.  I have incurred transportation costs, dialysis costs, specific tests, and so on.  My costs are increasing daily .  I expect extensive therapy and treatment upon eventual release  

I am  asking for your assistance to help me with expenses already incurred and future expenses which insurance may not cover.  

Any amount is welcome and appreciated   Your support will help relieve my personal stress while I face a long recovery path   

thank you!
