help me and my dog get expensive medical care we’re twinning
she is past the point of dental chews, she has medical trout mouth. if you’ve met her… you know. her breath was getting better too!! i was trying hard to fix it. surface level. she needs the teeth pulled or she could keep getting infections which could spread and kill her if left untreated. i can’t just keep bringing her back to the vet for antibiotics and tests, the teeth need to go. i already spent $500 of my own money on the emergency vet and her blood work.
i have bad credit which i was literally JUST trying to get out of debt so i’m already paying a plan trying to do that, so a loan is not an option. i will get declined and i do not have the $ to take on paying off yet another thing. they also added spaying her onto the quote i’m putting up so i’m crossing that out cause they told me to wait, not even sure why they listed it i wasnt going to put her thru both anyway.. so i’ll need around $1,000 for her dental work.
2nd part- we’re twinning! i’ve had chronic back pain for 11 years but as some of you know i have had life altering chronic leg pain since oct 2024. i thought i was getting better, then i got much worse again. it seems like the PT and Dr are guessing at this point. I was told 6 weeks until i could walk normally at one point, and now i’m being told 10 more weeks of PT with a new specialist. AND my PT is going from $25 to $75 a week. i cannot afford that especially with bitsy’s medical needs going on at the exact same time. and as many people know i just went without a car for 3 months because i didn’t want to ask for help fixing it. so i am still not financially recovered from that.
it’s very frustrating for me – in may i did half a set sitting down and half standing up, then 1 set standing up the whole time and after that i had to cancel all my plans for the week cause i couldn’t even walk. but from oct 2024-april 2025 i had to sit down and will return to sitting down. i’m in pain 24/7 to varying degrees. this is not compatible with being a performer or in a band. i feel bad because it is also frustrating for my band when i have to cancel going to practice because of pain. i had to cancel going to philly because of pain. i have no energy write new songs, i can barely think straight. and the pain is so unpredictable because i’ll have a week where i think i’m doing fine and then the next week i’m forced to cancel plans.
i’m also a pre-k teacher and it is very difficult to have the patience i used to have when i’m in this much pain. i can’t do as many activities with the kids. it is extremely disheartening and i feel like on my worst days i’m losing my personality entirely.
i can act out my suffering on stage like i used to i’m kind of tired of it being real suffering hahaha.
the doctor told me i need an MRI and might need surgery but honestly i haven’t even called to schedule it because i can’t afford it and i don’t want to do this at all.
$75 x 10 = $750, i cancelled my appt this week cuz i couldn’t afford it so now i need $675
$1,000 for bitsy
so $1,675 total
