badbert Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have been a member here, almost since the beginning. I do have experience growing, and I do have some "Magic Beans". I suffer from Chronic asthmatic bronchitis. And have well documented chronic back pain from three herniated discs. I lost my career of thirty years after being terminated for excessive medical absences. I am unable to work, and am currently entangled in the bureaucracy we laughingly call "Social Security". 90% rejection rate and 18 to 24 month for an appeal definitely does not provide any form of security. I have lost my home to foreclosure. I packed everything I own (including my garden equipment) into my mothers garage, and moved my family into my mother's house. Only to have it burn down and destroy everything I own. With the expiration of my AFLAC coverage, I have been without money, medical treatment, and pride. I now survive on the compassion of friends and family. Being without medical treatment, donated prescriptions,unfinished antibiotics, steroids, and inhalers keep me alive. Occasionally I am able to score small amounts of street schwag to relieve the constant pain from my back. I have read on here, about caregivers so compassionate that they are willing to pay for patients recommendation and certifications. And also provide them with free meds. This would be a godsend for me. Please understand that this is not my ideal situation. I have never asked for charity, never collected unemployment or much less welfare. But my desperation is obvious. Thank you for taking the time to read this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
