replurked!

hey friend, I've been there. this happened to me in 2016. I spent a year barely able to walk and having treatment fail before things started to turn around for me, but through a combination of treatments they did, and I really hope they do for you too.

I was able to stop walking with a cane in 2020 and while my back will never be normal again, there is so much I can do now that I thought I'd never be able to do again and took for granted before my injury.
nice guy goose
donated and I'm thinking of you!
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ

Replurking since I'm broke and can't help much. But thinking of you. I went through something similar in 2015-2016 and had two surgeries (one on my neck with a fusion and the other was to fix a herniated disc in my back L5-S1).

I now walk with a cane due to chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia in addition to other back issues with my discs. Currently in SSDI limbo, but I'm making it. I hope the surgery helps and good luck!

I'm so so sorry, what a nightmare. I wish I could donate and hope that you get treatment that allows you to recover

I am also replurking because I am broke and sending words of kindness, what's happening to me is nowhere near as severe but I hear that sorrow and frustration very keenly, and I hope you have an uncomplicated recovery
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
honestly I appreciate the words of kindness so much
Bad Vibes Only
replurking and sending you strength. i'm fighting for aid myself for fibromyalgia. sending you scissors in lieu of spoons for all the red tape, and hoping your surgeries bring you to recovery

my father had spinal fusion L4 and L5 if you want any secondhand experiences. I can ask him questions too.
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
I'm a little speechless this morning. $750 is my whole ass rent. I wasn't letting myself hope for more than a couple hundred, if I was lucky.
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
Thank you so much
StupidSexyV⚠der
thank all of you.

: idk if you know this already, but if you call your MP, part of their job is to intervene on their constituents behalf if there's a snag accessing federal benefits.
PG
And they will gnaw on people's asses until something gets done.
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
My MP is literal garbage with ties to white supremacy and one of six in the whole country who did not vote to ban conversion therapy 🥲
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
One of seven, rather
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
But that is an option
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
... I mean, at least I'm white, he doesn't need to know that I'm queer I guess, I still wouldn't vote for him even if he did help
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
There are a number of steps I'm working through. The process is just slow.
PG
Yeah, I can definitely understand not wanting to deal with that, holy shit.
𝓜𝒶𝑔𝑒𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔༢࿔ྀુ*
Oof. 
That sounds like a nightmare to have to deal with.
That sounds like a nightmare to have to deal with.
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
Yeah dealing with my MP is a last ditch resort because he sucks so goddamn bad
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
But man. You guys. I just.
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
I don't know what to say.
Tɪᴇʟ Dᴇᴀʀ
I thought a goal of $1000 was way too high.
StupidSexyV⚠der
I'm so so glad people could help Jesse.
