I am thankful for everyone’s support and continued prayers, and ask that you please continue!
I am still in need of some funding to make this Ketamine Procedure happen. I was able to borrow $10k through a Medical Loan and I still have some promises I am waiting on and have raised almost 4k on my own. So, I still need almost $5k as I don’t know if the promises will come through. There are so many things I want to do after this Ketamine Procedure. I cant wait to start weight bearing physical therapy. My first goal is to walk to the mailbox and back, without help or needing to take a break. My hope is after the Ketamine procedure, I will be able to continue my fundraising and cover this life changing procedure and the follow up booster treatments.
As far as a date to start the Ketamine Procedure, I am told it will probably be Jan 4th, allowing me to work on getting the rest of the funding together, as it is a prepay procedure. I am almost there, please help me out any way you can. ($5, $10, $25, $100, it all adds up and it all becomes significant) I will be heading out East this Friday for the chance to start on Dec. 7th, in the chance I raise or borrow the funds needed in time and another patient cancels. Ken has taken on a second job and will be working weekends and some evenings to help with the financial aspects of this procedure.
My port scars are healing and it is becoming less sensitive. My neck scar is almost undetectable, the one on my chest is healing slower, but getting better. It is quite a weird feeling to have this under my skin and ontop of my rib. The port sticks up off of me so it is not too discrete, but the benefits are going to be great and I look forward to the ease of it as I go through this process.
