Hi! Most of yall who know me know me as lauren.. I've been called many names but I stick with lala or Lauren these days.. as most of yall may have heard I was in a bit of an accident in which I had a medical emergency that caused me to become unconscious and the home I was staying at , the gentleman didn't see it pertinent to call an ambulance so I remained on my right side cutting the circulation off for about 18 hours after he thought he was helpful by giving me a blanket he went upstairs to bed and then after 18 hours realized that I was still unresponsive on the floor.. so I developed what is known as compartment syndrome .. so when I finally did receive medical treatment the hospital, knowing that I needed surgery, instead put me on isolation for 11 days because I had "COVID".. Which I already had and had gotten rid of.. thus impeading my surgery that was absolutely necessary by not transporting me to the main facility to facilitate the surgery I so desperately needed.. so between these two unimaginable acts I had to have a series of 12 operations to debrieve the nacrotic tissue.. 4 on my arm and 7 on my leg which resulted in the amputation of my right leg and the loss of motor function of my right hand and a skin graft on my right forearm of which 50 percent of the muscle was taken along with the valuable tendons that open and close the hand and rotate the wrist.. Now I'm not telling you all this to get some pity party going , in fact, I've been hiding in the shadows for over a year now hoping no one would find out or would want to see me like this so this is one of the hardest things I'll ever do.. I took so much pride in my appearance and my beauty and now its all gone.. I'm half a woman in a wheel chair.. but.. there's still hope.. I was issued a charity prosthetic (one in which I cannot walk) , because of the inability to pay for a better leg.. nothing fancy just something I can balance and learn to walk again with. This would mean the world to ME, but I got denied disability and medicaid along with it and my insurance through Obama care is still making me pay 25 % of the overall cost.. I have high deductible insurance so a leg with new pieces will still run me about $2400.. and the one I really want isn't even covered by the insurance I have.. in fact I was denied the first time this order was presented but appealed (the orthotics place did so) because I was too broken and beaten down to do so.. so im asking the people I grew up with , my family, my friends, and even some complete strangers for help and my pride is screaming at the top of her lungs right now but if you could find it in your heart , even just a dollar would help.. I'm humbled and humiliated and ask for your prayers as well.. I shouldn't be stuck in a wheelchair , I just want to be viewed as normal again.. thank you to those who even take the time to read this and of course to ANYONE who finds it in their heart to donate you have my gratitude and thanks for life.. regrettably Lauren…
