Health Update for 10/10/24

 Health Update for 10/10/24

I saw my hip doctor (Dr. Woodward) today regarding the MRI's I had done on 9/28/24. I got bad news on top of bad news on top of more bad news.

1) I need a full hip replacement (yeah at 52 years old)
2) They don't want to do the hip replacement, instead they want me to do steroid injections and physical therapy which have never worked for me.
3) The majority of the issues causing my pain and mobility issues are in my Lumbar Spine and Septum. Which I had surgery on the lumbar in July 24 but it not only didn't fix my back it relieved enough tension that all the other issues showed up!

Update #1 for 9/27/24

 Update #1 for 9/27/24 My sister broke down yesterday and I had to work on her vehicle last night and this morning so I didn't get to panhandle last night or this morning like normal. I am in so much pain I doubt I will go out again today. Need to rest and relax for a day or two to recover. Email: venuspcs@gmail.com Phone: 954-600-0540

In Need of Help

  In Need of Help If you haven't already read My Life Story please do! Why I am asking for help will make more sense then! I struggle daily to panhandle but sadly do not make enough to survive. So I need help constantly. The VA only helped me get an apartment but I get no other help from them. I do have Foodstamps (that last about 10 days a month) and Medicaid but no financial help whatsoever, and believe me I have tried every Government and Non-Profit resource I can find or has been told to me. Why should you help me? I am a disabled Navy Veteran with no income or reliable transportation. Even in my physical/mental and financial condition I still help others regularly. I frequently help others out with food, household items, toiletries, gas, rides (when I have a vehicle that is running), etc. I desperately need the following: Some form of reliable transportation (preferably a 2010 or newer vehicle so I can do Uber/Lyft or food delivery as that is about the only work I can do othe...

Update #1 for 9/24/24

 Update #1 for 9/24/24 Hello everyone, I still have no income or reliable transportation and am having to Panhandle every day just to survive. I currently have a $84 Electric Bill Past Due and the Utilities to my Apartment Complex are due on the first for $140. Due to my vehicle being a complete PILE OF EXCREMENT I am not traveling far to panhandle in good places and am at the intersection of East Evans and South Downing Street (by Safeway) most of the time. However, due to my health, I am only out an hour or two in the morning and again in the evening time. I am freaking out because I am barely making enough to survive and with winter coming my ability to panhandle will be seriously reduced as I can't move if it is cold!
