  • I went to the Gi doctor today and it went good. I have a colonoscopy on the 14th and an appointment with Woods the infectious disease doctor on 15th. Woods is starting me off flagyl now for infection. Also have a liver ultrasound scheduled. This is because the recent ct showed a lesion on my liver.  I was in the hospital on Thursday and the spleen abscess has returned and the plural effusion has gotten very large which is why i can hardly breathe. Woods said the er would be best for the abscess and effusion. Im going in to the hospital tomorrow at 6am.

    I still haven't been able to work and finances are quite low. Because of the water in my lungs, I can't walk ten steps without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. I am so grateful for the money you guys gave recently, but it has all been spent.  So many bills came in. Anything helps now.

    Prayers for you and your family.

    I am sorry for the interrogation, but I was tired of people imagining that it was fraud.

  • I'm finally out of the hospital. Altogether over 2 liters of fluid was drained from my lungs and almost 1 liter from the abscess. I can breathe again.

    Now i need further tests to determine the cause of all this.

    Thank you for your prayers and generosity.

  • Out of the blue my old company contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in working for them again. There are some formalities with HR but I basically have my old job back and it just fell into my lap. God always has a plan.

  • I did not end up getting my old job. HR decided against me in what I thought was a formality. I am applying to 1 hundred jobs a day now that I am mostly better, but we are completely broke again. It is with reluctance and shame that I ask for whatever you can give one last time. We can't pay our bills . And I am very humbled by this.

    Have you tried getting a job in another field? You could try working at a grocery store, or some other kind of manual labor. It may not pay the best, but it would be money coming in at least.

    I'm going to start working for instacart for the time being. I am feeling pretty good but I still have to take antibiotics for 4 more weeks. I have a colonoscopy and liver ultrasound next week to try and determine what caused the sickness originally. I'm scared it is going to be something serious. Overall I just feel worried. I need to pray for peace.

    I can be scary not knowing what will happen with your health. It's good that you applied with instacart. I work part-time at a grocery store, and I often help the instacart folks to find a product they can't find. I retired from this same store two years ago, but my husband passed away a year ago, so I had to go back to work.

    One of my co-workers lost a leg in a car accident ten years ago. She wears a prosthesis, and kind of clomps around the department, and she's in serious pain after six hours, but she never gives up. She muddles through. Another co-worker had brain cancer as a child and she has to take medication which causes her to be loopy, as if she's had a couple of shots of vodka, and she's not easy to deal with, but she never gives up either. And I recall a cashier at the store that I used to work at who only had one arm, but he managed to ring the customers up just fine, which always amazed me. 

    Have hope and keep praying.

  • The goal was reached again. God bless you all. I have no idea how to express my thanks. I will never ask again.

  • Hello all. For almost the entire month of February our entire family has been sick with the flu, strep and a severe respiratory sickness. Everyone is getting better now but I am still very sick. 

    When they did the CT scans and found my abscess in December they also discovered a lesion on my liver. I finally had a liver ultrasound last week. I've been diagnosed with fatty liver and I need to undergo a number of tests to find out more about the lesion.

    In March I have to get a liver scan, an MRI and a colonoscopy and also bloodwork and these are all separate hospital visits which will require separate doctors follow ups. I am also scheduled for a CT scan to see if my spleenic abcess and and plural effusion of the lungs has returned. So 5 procedures with 5 office visit follow ups.

    I have to turn to you once again for help even though I had hoped I would never have to ask again. Any assistance during this time is overwhelmingly appreciated as I will not be able to work for much of March and were are broke again. God bless you all.

    James

    Thank you. It's just one thing after another after another after another after another this year. It's unbelievable. 

    The G.I. doctor basically told me my liver is failing yesterday. I'm bleeding from the colon also. The bleeding is probably what caused the infection in the first place. It just seems like no matter how many times I go to the hospital or how many hundreds of doctor visits I go to. I'm going to die very soon. And I have no plan for my family. I have no savings and no life insurance. 

    I'm trying to hold on and trust in God.
