As many of you know, I have a whole host of chronic
conditions. Scoliosis, Sciatica, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and PCOS.
With these come a plethora of pain, vitamin deficiencies, hormone
troubles, and just general difficulty living a normal life. These
illnesses are chronic and that means they will never "get
better" I can only manage them with meds, lifestyle choices,
and physical therapy.
Well, today I took one aspect of my life that could be fixed
and ran with it. Today I got approved for LASIK eye surgery to
correct my horrible vision. It is one thing I can do to improve my
quality of life. I've had bad eyes since I was in elementary school
and wore either glasses or contacts since then. Contacts really
irritate my eyes with the chronic inflammation of the Ankylosing
Spondylitis and I also often get horrible headaches when wearing
them or my glasses.
My surgery is scheduled for January 12th.
I don't want to ask for donations outright without providing
something of value for the donors. I want to earn anything I receive
because I do know most people see this operation as a vanity
procedure, though it will do so much to help me climb out of
depression and feel like my health isn't entirely out of my control.
- Here are some ideas I have:
- Drawing a picture, physical or digital, of anything the donor wants.
- Making a sticker design for the donor.
- Tweeting or posting about the donor's book or project for 3 days.
- Giving a credit for a free author builder for donations over a certain amount.
- Making a free promo graphic or graphics for authors who donate.
- Doing a TikTok video or IG reel for those who donate a certain amount.
Do you guys have more ideas? Let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate you!
