i’ve got a big amount of bills coming up, mostly due to health reasons, and i need to get my cat to the vet. all of the overtime i’ve been snatching up at work has had to go towards $1300 car repair and maintenance.
i started having problems with my thyroid and ended up with over $1,000 in tests that i’m fighting for insurance to look at. i have an appointment with a specialist scheduled for the end of next month.
the problems with my thyroid made my hand pain flair up to the point i can hardly do art work right now. i have joint pain and weakness, i’ve been dropping things, i can hardly hold a pencil for any length of time. i went to the orthopedist this past monday and he gave me a steroid injection in my wrist and that has helped my left hand TREMENDOUSLY. he didn’t want to do anything to my right, yet.
i have an ultrasound scheduled next week and i start occupational therapy the second of april. i am praying the shots and therapy will be enough; my doctor passively mentioned wanting to send me to a surgeon depending on the ultrasound results. hopefully not.
on top of all of this, my mum was diagnosed with hurthle cell carcinoma this past month and we’re trying to get her into a sister location of MD Anderson, thankfully right down the road from her. she’s scheduled a consult for her first surgery at the beginning of may...because that’s the earliest they had. we’re already looking at over $2000 just for the biopsy after insurance covered their part. the first surgery was quoted about $13000.
this doesn’t include trying to get my cat to the vet.
i am asking for help. i don’t want to, but i’m at the point, i can’t work more hours than what i’m doing (job won’t let me) and i’m beyond stressed. i have prints and pins and original art for sale and i’m linking ko-fi.
i CAN take a couple commissions if folks are willing to wait. i can’t guarantee a turn around time because my work time will be based on my hand function.
i’m so tired, y’all. i’m so fucking tired.
this is my ko-fi link
this is my store front link
this is my commission information
reblogs are appreciated beyond words.
i’m only trying to raise $500 right now to give myself breathing room while i get things figured out.
and cry. there’s lots of crying
