Thread by @Nofearnofavors4

For those of you that follow me, my friends I consider family, I haven't been on today bc I had a bad fall.
It was in the bathroom & I hit the tub & toilet.
Mom was at the grocery bc we got our $72/mo SNAP.
I lied there for an hr bc I couldn't get up. (Like those comm.)
I'm ok...

As many of you know, I already have ruptured discs, congenital disorder which is where your spinal cords doesn't have enough space in your sheath, a syrinx, & multiple bulging discs, osteophytes, etc...
I just really whacked my back.
Mom is w/me now. She's an RN.
Thx RTing Gfm 💕

Thank you all for RTing my Mom's medical Gofundme.
It's my pinned Tweet.
It's also Mom's pinned Tweet @DemForLife3. 🙏 (((hug)))

@DemForLife3 I have a brain tumor/IIH & such severe intestinal damage from a 3.5 yr battle w/Vanc. resistant C. Difficile.
I had 2 FM transplants (1st 1 failed).
This all started from a tick bite in 2011,😪
resulting in E. Chaffeensis, Rickettsia, & Lyme.
I then contracted Coxsackie B4 virus

@DemForLife3

@DemForLife3

@DemForLife3 The Coxsackie B4 virus is a 'cousin' of Polio.
As a result, I've lost most use of my left side (& I'm left-handed 😔) .
I had been on antibiotics for 19 yrs b4 all of this which is why it was so devastating + I wasn't treated for 11 mos.
I even went to the Mayo Clinic.
Plz read

@DemForLife3 As you can see, I'm on a walker/wheelchair/ cane now.
I'm in constant #ChronicPain & my 77-year-old mom, Carolyn, @DemForLife3 loads/unloads my walker, drives me to all my Dr appts: usually 2-3/wk + aqua therapy/ she helps me bathe/dress; she cooks, cleans, & is exhausted.😩

@DemForLife3 We get $72/mo for food in SNAP: it doesn't cover toilet paper, pet food, cat litter, paper towels, Kleenex, cleaning supplies, face lotions, etc.
A very dear Twitter friend shipped all of the above 👆 + my Protein drinks which are $2/each. (minus lotion).
We are now out of ...

@DemForLife3 These 👇 are my Protein drinks. They're $2/apiece.
At one point, I was only able to drink these for a yr & 1/2 bc of the permanent abdominal pain/ intestinal damage (due to the C. Diff. & an undiagnosed bad gallbladder) .
We still have paper towels + dog food but need the rest.

@DemForLife3 I know we are not unique: many ppl are suffering bc of the GOP's refusal to implement the #ACA in their states under their control.
#Healthcare is a human right!
We must #vote Every. Single. One. Of. Them.!

We must turn out in such massive numbers that foreign/domestic meddling, gerrymandering, & voter suppression can't stop us!
We must take OUR America back bc we include EVERYONE in our big, beautiful tent.
