Ryno Verster hasn't added a story.
In 2007 I suffered from a horrific accident that involved a car
that ran over me at high speed. After being in comas I underwent
numerous surgeries on my legs my life was forever changed. I
continued to try keep up a life that would seem as normal as
possible but it did not happen for me.
After years of continuous pain I saw specialists who informed me
that I needed immediate treatment again on both my knees. I
underwent a grueling 8 hour surgery on my left leg/knee to have all
the damage removed and have a knee joint replacement. I had a
medical scheme then lost it when I lost my job abroad after my
surgery and was seen to no longer be able to do my work which was
very physical. I was at that point still due to have the next
surgery on my right knee. I returned back to South Africa to try
have my second surgery performed back home. I have been waiting for
nearly two years to get help through the national health service in
South Africa but have not been assisted at all. I do not have any
family or relatives to assist me.
From all the years of struggling with my knees my left hip has
deteriorated and is in agonizing pain which makes daily life and
tasks very difficult along with needing surgery on my right knee. I
can’t go for X-Rays and MRI scans as I have no funds to do so.
From the years of being prescribed anti inflammatory medication
my colon has suffered and was diagnosed with severe diverticulitis
that need medical attention to see if I need surgery for this but I
am again not able to proceed due to funds.
I long for a life of being pain free and able to feel joy once
again. Your contribution will help me and is greatly appreciated. I
would want to be able to help a person one day when I am in a
position to.
