| This madness needs to stop!!! |
I do not believe in coincidences. I never have. When I decided to see Dr. Henderson, the Chiari specialist, I called for an appointment at the beginning of May. He was booking into the beginning of August, BUT there was a cancellation and we got put in the middle of June!!! Then, I call to book my surgery and I'm told the doctor has an opening on September 19th, OR, since there had just been a cancellation, I could also be given July 23rd. At this point, I have decided that the Lord really feels I need this surgery. But then the next surprise hits us. We need almost $10,000 deposit to have the surgery.
Suddenly Pitman feels that I REALLY don't need the specialist anyways, and we should take our chances with a local neurosurgeon. But that silliness only lasts for a few moments. Then he realizes that the chances of me needing multiple surgeries instead of the ONE increase dramatically when we take Dr. Henderson out of the equation. I suggest we simply set up a kissing booth in the middle of Syracuse... but he's afraid of having to kiss toothless hobos. So much for THAT idea.
My son, Steve, said I needed to start an online fundraiser page and he'd send it to all his friends and co-workers and so would everyone else. Oh, yeah!! That'll work!!! After all I am the one who bought everything for my kids fundraisers because I was too embarrassed to ask people to buy the stuff!! I'll just ASK people for money!!! But, when Rob said "I dont know if the bank will just GIVE me a $10,000 loan" and I starting wondering if they'd take Cassie as collateral, I figured I'd swallow my pride and try. So, I made the page. And its stupid. I would have rather had fun with it, but I felt I needed to be serious, and try not to be embarrassed. I swear I could do so much better AFTER my surgery, and I have my mind back!!! But then, if I HAD my mind, I wouldn't NEED the surgery, right?
So, here it is: https://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/put-lisa-s-brain-back-in-her-skull/68674
NOW, here is where it gets fun. See, I have a bit of a problem. I know for a fact that I'm going to hear "I'd love to help, but I just lost my job, and Zeb lost his car... really... we aren't sure where he put it.. and Martha? Martha needs a hair transplant because of her alopecia and Zeb Jr. just broke his leg for the 3rd time climbing that tree." And I'll end up giving them the $20 bill I have in my wallet that I got from Aldi's as my prize for staying under the grocery budget.
Things are hard all over. If people are in a bind, I want prayers. The hope is that eventually my little cause will hit a few people who AREN'T having big problems, like Oprah, Angelina & Brad, or Bill Gates, and they'll be able to give big, or at least a lot of people who can give a little!! I'm certain the Lord WILL provide, and I doubt He would make anyone suffer on my account, because that would make me sad.
