About nvemt55054

I am a 34 year old, single mother with a 20 month old son. Things have been very difficult of late. For 13 years I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis among multiple other medical problems, including a Protein C Deficiency which causes a clotting disorder. I have had 15 life threatening blood clots in my lungs in the last 8 years, the most recent being in my Pulmonary Artery. Now I find out that instead of MS I may actually have a primary muscle disorder like Muscular Dystrophy. Due to the clotting disorder, a liver disorder and a blood infection I have to spend 20 hours a week at my local hospital getting multiple types of IV therapy. I had an old laptop that I found at a Salvation Army 5 years ago and up until two nights ago that I used during that time to help the hours pass. However, it no longer works as my son accidentally put it in the toilet. He has this crazy infatuation with the toilet, yet is petrified of the bath tub, imagine that :) Anyways I hate to ask anyone for anything however with both my fiance'(he is a physics professor who is trying to get his bipolar disorder better controlled) and I (I used to work in the medical field and on an ambulance) being on disability it is almost impossible to go out to dinner once a month, let alone save for a wedding and now a laptop. I am not sure what this site can do for me, I hope at the very least I will make a few friends who understand what I am going through. I will leave it in the hands of the angels as to what type of help/support you feel you can best offer. I am hoping I can use this venue as a two way street, maybe I can provide support to someone else in need, even if its just kind words, encouragement, referrals, or information.
