Just for proof of everything, here is X-rays showing my kidney, the stent, and the damage done to my ureter. I don’t have a picture of the current stent but included the xray from the last stent to show what it looks like. It runs from my kidney all the way into my bladder.
If anyone is able to help out, I really need some assistance in getting the portable oxygen concentrator and the daily shots for blood clot prevention. I cannot be discharged until I have everything covered 🥺. The portable oxygen concentrator is $300 and the shots are $110.
We’ve got enough to get the prescriptions covered. Now just need to get the medical devices and the copay for the surgery to get the stent removed. Just need to raise another $650 and I’ll have enough for everything. I’m deeply grateful for everyone who has helped. 🥺
Current medications cost $280, the oxygen equipment is about $300, and the copay for the surgery to get the stent out is $250 (this is outpatient surgery, so copay has to be paid before the procedure).
I’m now having to use a walker until I regain my leg strength. I also have to get daily shots to prevent blood clots. This does not include the dozens of medications I’m on to keep my kidney functioning and pain levels low while I have the stent in place. 😭
I’m putting this out there, as I really could use the help. I’ve been out of work and in the hospital since the 9th of January. Insurance doesn’t cover all the medication I need nor the medical devices I need. Anything helps 😭
