IWantToLive

I can’t afford to live! And I want to…I want to live! Hospitalized for three months, from Diverticulitis surgery and Progressive Heart Failure. Now housebound for a year, as I learned to walk again, mostly with a walker, and deal with many other medical life changes such as a Colostomy, type 2 Diabetes, stage 3 Kidney Failure, a heart that doesn’t pump good enough to circulate the fluid back up from my feet and legs, COPD that originally started from prolonged exposure to Black Mold and many other issues.  I find that I can’t afford all of the monthly medications, twenty one, different and vital.  Or, and also, the Colostomy products and medical devices. I now must pick and choose my medications, every month, depending on how much money is left from a limited income. After Medicare, my medication is still costing me six to eight hundred dollars a month. And my Colostomy products are costing me between four to six hundred monthly.  Medicare only pays for part of anything, My sister has moved to town to help take care of me and my daughter drives twelve hours as often as she can, to help also. My husband gets around with a walker or two canes. Your prayers will be most welcome. With appreciation, I thank you for your donation. Any amount will help pay for my medicine and medical needs.  It has been most difficult, to dream that everything is normal and awaken to my reality. But even still, I awake and pray, with gratefulness for another day. I want to live, even with limitations. I am a wife. I am Mom. I am Grandma. I am SIS and often, Miss Nita… God bless you all. The photo is that of a nurse teaching me how to use air pumps on my feet and legs, for circulation.
