Lee's spine surgery/recovery
I'm a 29yr old male going in for spine surgery
Auckland
29 year old male going in for spine surgery & finding it very hard to pay bills & medical bills & rent.
I can't work for atleast 6 months after my surgery on August 10th at mercy ascot epson.
I've currently been off work for just over a year getting bounced to different medical procedures that have only made my condition worse.
I was told acc would cover the 2 surgery, but have been denied for 1.
The longer I go without the surgery the more permanent damage can be done.
My ability to walk is slowly getting worse.
I have a sharp debilitating pain that runs from the top of my left buttock running down my leg to just above my ankle. Last 4-5 months I've been getting numbness in my leg and the pain is just beyond anything I have endured before.
Use of funds
Pay surgical bills and rent arrears and anything unexpected that seems to constantly keep coming up.
Physio,follow up appointments, gas.
