Subject: Help! Author: Rita Dobbs [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:56:38 12/15/02 Sun Hi! I am new to this site but am hoping that my fellow crafters can come to my rescue. I am a 43 yr.old mother of two daughters, ages 17 and 11. In August of this year, I had major back surgery followed by a very bad infection in my incision. I ended up back in the hospital again. When I was released, I had to go to the local hospital here in North Texas everyday with a special port in my arm to receive IV antibiotics. Three months post surgery, I still have an open wound in my lower back. The infection is getting better but am still looking at more testing and several months of antibiotics yet to come and possible further surgeries. In the middle of all this termoil, I discovered that my husband has been unfaithful and has moved out. I only have Social Security in the amount of $660 and over $500 is going to medications at this point. I am asking that any of you that have any scrap materials or anything that you don't use or think you will use in the future...I am going to try to suppliment my income by doing crafts and selling them. Since I am not able to do any lifting, bending, etc. and am not able to sit for long periods of time..I am doing most of what I can do from my bed. I would certainly appreciate anything that you have to spare. My 17 year old daughter is graduating in May and I have so many expenses this being her senior year and she had worked so hard in school maintaining her grades (all A's and 1 B since her freshman year)...it is not fair to make her suffer for what someone else has done. Thank you in advance for anything you can do.
