Hey, long time no see!! I've been thinking about this account for a while now but I hate to have to come back for this reason. If any of you remember me, I used to make op gifs and edits. I only stopped because my computer crashed and I lost all of my editing software and media. Been missing it though...
If you followed me for my Husky pup shenanigans and were here when I first got her then I'm so happy to tell you that she's doing great!! You can see pictures and vids on my twitter which is linked above. She's gone through some health issues herself that have steadily improved with a change of diet but I've actually switched careers and am now working in the pet industry which has done even more good for her health.
The reason I am making this post however is because on the 13th of this month, so eight days ago, I took her to our local park after a rough morning. While we were there having a good time, someone else's pup, also a husky, ran full speed into the front of my knee, dislocating it. I have torn the ligaments and my knee has since popped back into place but I cannot walk.
I am now unable to work and the bills keep piling up. They want me to go to an orthopedic surgeon to get an MRI done and see how extensive the damage really is. They also said they were worried about infection because my knee seemed hot to the touch. As of now I am on crutches and in a full leg brace. I cannot shower and I cannot dress myself and I cannot sleep. I also cannot properly take care of my pup. It's been a nightmare and it's only been a week.
My urgent care visit a day after the accident was $584, this is including the x-ray and the brace.
My follow up visit to a doctor today cost me $180, which could have been worse. I am happy happy to say I was able to hobble away with pain pills strong enough to help with my sleep, but they couldn't do more than recommend me to a specialist.
I have no health insurance.
The specialist they told me was probably going to run me another $500 with the MRI, maybe even more. Then if the damage is bad enough... surgery or physical therapy.
In summary I need help. Even if there is no amount of money that will heal me faster I need assistance so that I can still afford food for both me and my pup. As I am now, with not being able to work, I am slowly but surely watching my funds dwindle down into nothing.
When 2021 hit I was expecting something better than this...
EITHER WAY, thanks for reading. Please check out my twitter if you want!! Lotsa pup pics over there! She's doing great and she's so beautiful. I think she might be part malamute actually and she musta been barely a year when I got her. She's now 65lbs!! So big!
