I have an opportunity to have surgery and can't afford to get there.

0 Recommendations

after about two year of fighting with doctors to help me find out what was going on with me and why I was in so much pain, being accused of many things. Med seeking was a big one that followed me from doctor to doctor and most of them didn't even try to look past that. well I finally found a specialist that figured out that I have a Tarlov Cyst which is causing immense pressure on my nerves and eroding my bone, which explains why my legs hurt so much and I can barely walk anymore, well he can do surgery to ease the pressure off my nerves and i cant even afford to get there to have the surgery. I do not know how much more I can take of this, I just want to give up. I have called just about everyplace I can think of to get help. I am on fricken disability and am trying to support a sixteen year old son. I have the surgery scheduled for next week and still don't know how I am going to do it, I keep praying that something will fall into my lap. how can my own mother not want to help me? this surgery could keep me out of a wheelchair and even though she has the means she won't help. I would do everything I could for my child no matter how many issues there was and that is me not her. it is hard enough trying to deal with this and needing help in almost everything I do. I don't know anymore. I am so lost.
