Hey guys, as a few of you might know, fellow discussion board member Donnie (M3SQRD) has been battling some main well being points. He has shared a few of this publicly already, however it stems from some critical stomach issues arising from prior spinal surgical procedure (hes already undergone about 10 procedures for the backbone alone). Following these he has had quite a few stomach operations already with parts of his bowel eliminated, has required receiving diet intravenously (not by mouth), and has ongoing points with signs associated to intestinal blockages. Prior surgical procedures have led to non permanent aid, however its a catch-22 state of affairs because the surgical procedures themselves can promote extra scarring between the intestines that may then result in extra points with blockages, the necessity for added surgical procedure, and many others, in a vicious cycle. He requires one other stomach surgical procedure that may impose an $18,000 out of pocket expense. The cumulative medical payments over this years-long saga have racked up significantly, and its turning into an actual battle. Hes not been capable of work since 2021, and his long-term incapacity advantages are ending in a couple of months. Donnies been parting-out a few of his BMW stuff to fund the surgical procedure, which is how I discovered the small print of the state of affairs.
