So last year I was a healthy care free 19 year old student with big plans for my future. Unfortunately as luck would have it I got pretty sick in January. At first I thought it was just the flu but it turned out to be something worse. For a week I was dehydrated and couldn't even stand on my own. One day when Iwoke up I could not move my arm, it felt like every bone in my left arm had broken. The next day after fainting and being in severe pain I was taken to the Emergency Room where I was given fluids. I found out that I had Strep Throat and Mono so they wanted to keep me overnight. To check my arm they did an ultrasound and a CT scan. With that they discovered two things. One was I had ruptured my spleen so I was admitted to the hospital for a week on bedrest. They also discovered that I had an large abnormal cyst on my ovary. With the hospital bills already pilling up, I was missing work and had no money. Now with thousands of dollars in bills I now have an upcoming surgery to find money for. The total for surgery without the anesthesiologist is $4,000. With not working after my medical problems the money just is not there. My doctor has told me the cyst is the size of a newborn baby's head and must be removed soon or I risk it rupturing and killing my ovary as well as rendering my body unable to bear children; however, with the bills already stacking up the hospital requires payment before I even have/schedule the surgery. At a loss for what to do, I've come to asking anyone to help. I don't know what else to do.
