Hip Dislocated Fiance`

My fiance suffers from hip dislocated pain ever since he could remember. He Limps and cannot bend to touch his own toes, cannot sit or lean back or towards, cannot open his leg wider then 2 1/2 feet and most of all he cannot work and he have been denied for more then 5 years from getting disability money. He does not have health insurance or medical insurance at all. His mom passed away when he was not more then 2 years old and his Dad is really old, older then the age of 60 and his step mom hates him, so of course they cannot help us with money. He have older brothers and sisters, but of course they have their own life and family to support themselves. I do know that if they are willing to put money together like only about $400 each would be really good together, but because they make their own decision and we cannot force that to happen we have no one to turn to for help, but to work hard and save money ourselves. And because we do not work and I do not have a stable job at the moment I can not borrow money or get a loan. Not only that we cannot find help to do his surgery, but he has suffer hatred from everyone because he cannot walk properly and he cannot handle, carry and do many regular things that we all can do. His joint on his hip is dislocated and to put less stress on this hip is to curve his back so he can balance himself. Many people, like of course my mom hates him and hates the fact that I still chooses to be with him; I wouldn't choose anyone else to replace him. Anyways I finally over the last 5 months got a job and is planning to save and save so I can make his dream come true and walk without pain. I don't know what to do, working at a Fast food restaurant, $8.00 an hour is nothing when I am planing to get our own place and pay for rent and utilities, car insurance and other important stuff, and still can save to do his surgery?...its really hard...If any one can help him please do Contact me...Good Luck to everyone, Stay healthy and Safe!

Need help, Disabled have no family to help.

Hi I am looking for help with my electric bills. I am homeless staying from friend to friend because I am on a fixed income and duke won't let me make payments on a past due electric bill. The bill got ran up while I was waiting on my disability awards letter. I was 34 when they said I could not work due to back injury. But over the past 10 years I have been hit with COPD, and now they are thinking I have throat cancer. The place I am staying at now has mold and it is making me sick. Due to the COPD, I have a friend that will rent me a house but I cannot get electric. If anybody knows of any agencies that will help me in the clermont county area in Ohio please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Alittle About My little girl


hey like in the post before some know about my kids and some dont
this for the ones who dont know


my little girl is a wonderful 4 year old
i would never trade anything for any of my kids they are my world
she was born with a brain bleed which cause her to have massive siezures
which resulted in her going into a coma for most of her little life
they told us she may never wake up but from us having our first son we knew we could not give up on her, we would never accept the fact our girl would be in a coma for life so we prayed and stayed with her the whole time i tried to work but lost many jobs from the stress of worring and due to the fact i could not work everyday so they just let me go
i am not saying it is her fault or anyones i would never do that i love her
it is just that job owners dont care you are just another person they have they have a line of people that can take your place

Cerebral hemorrhage

A cerebral hemorrhage (or intracerebral hemorrhage, ICH), is a subtype of intracranial hemorrhage that occurs within the brain tissue itself. Intracerebral hemorrhage can be caused by brain trauma, or it can occur spontaneously in hemorrhagic stroke. Non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage is a spontaneous bleeding into the brain tissue.[1]

A cerebral hemorrhage is an intra-axial hemorrhage; that is, it occurs within the brain tissue rather than outside of it. The other category of intracranial hemorrhage is extra-axial hemorrhage, such as epidural, subdural, and subarachnoid hematomas, which all occur within the skull but outside of the brain tissue. There are two main kinds of intra-axial hemorrhages: intraparenchymal hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhages. As with other types of hemorrhages within the skull, intraparenchymal bleeds are a serious medical emergency because they can increase intracranial pressure. The mortality rate for intraparenchymal bleeds is over 40%


Causes:

Intracerebral bleeds are the second most common cause of stroke, accounting for 30–60% of hospital admissions for stroke.[1] High blood pressure raises the risk of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage by two to six times.[1] More common in adults than in children, intraparenchymal bleeds due to trauma are usually due to penetrating head trauma, but can also be due to depressed skull fractures, acceleration-deceleration trauma,[5][6][7] rupture of an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and bleeding within a tumor. A very small proportion is due to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

she also has Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus (pronounced /ˌhaɪdrɵˈsɛfələs/) is a term derived from the Greek words "hydro" meaning water, and "cephalus" meaning head, and this condition is sometimes known as "water on the brain". People with hydrocephalus have abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain. This may cause increased intracranial pressure inside the skull and progressive enlargement of the head, convulsion, and mental disability. Hydrocephalus can also cause death.

Hydrocephalus is usually due to blockage of CSF outflow in the ventricles or in the subarachnoid space over the brain. In a person without hydrocephalus, CSF continuously circulates through the brain, its ventricles and the spinal cord and is continuously drained away into the circulatory system. Alternatively, the condition may result from an overproduction of the CSF fluid, from a congenital malformation blocking normal drainage of the fluid, or from complications of head injuries or infections.[1]

Regardless of cause, the fluid accumulates in the ventricles. Compression of the brain by the accumulating fluid eventually may cause convulsions and mental retardation. These signs occur sooner in adults, whose skulls no longer are able to expand to accommodate the increasing fluid volume within. Fetuses, infants, and young children with hydrocephalus typically have an abnormally large head, excluding the face, because the pressure of the fluid causes the individual skull bones — which have yet to fuse — to bulge outward at their juncture points. Another medical sign, in infants, is a characteristic fixed downward gaze with whites of the eyes showing above the iris, as though the infant were trying to examine its own lower eyelids.[2] Hydrocephalus occurs in about one out of every 1000 live births[3] and was routinely fatal until surgical techniques for shunting the excess fluid out of the central nervous system and into the blood or abdomen were developed. Hydrocephalus is detectable during prenatal ultrasound examinations.

Usually, hydrocephalus does not cause any intellectual disability if recognized and properly treated. A massive degree of hydrocephalus rarely exists in typically functioning people, though such a rarity may occur if onset is gradual rather than sudden.[


she is on oxygen and a spo2 moniter
she has a shunt to drain off the fluid from her brain
most of her brain is dead but she is making wonderful improvements
she is 3 but they say her brain is at about 1 1/2 years right now so she is learning to crawl at the moment but we are kinda scared because she is blind we dont want her to hurt herself

as my son she to has a G-tube in her tummy she eats through
she also has sleep apnia so she is on a moniter for that as well
she is currently on 6-8 meds for all of her problems but we are hopeful she will someday make a great change for the better


my son is 11 years old paralized from the waist down and he is on a ventilator to help him breath he has a trac in his neck because his airway is unstable for him to breath
he also has a G-Tube in his tummy that he eats through

the main reason for all of his medical problems is he has a rare medical disease called
Atelosteogenesis Type 2 here is alittle about it

Atelosteogenesis, type II is a severe disorder of cartilage and bone development. It is extremely rare, and infants with the disorder are usually stillborn, however those that that survive birth die soon after from respiratory failure

Infants born with this condition have very short arms and legs, a narrow chest, and a prominent, rounded abdomen. This disorder is also characterized by an opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate), distinctive facial features, an inward- and downward-turning foot (clubfoot), and unusually positioned thumbs (hitchhiker thumbs).

The signs and symptoms of atelosteogenesis, type 2 are similar to those of another skeletal disorder called diastrophic dysplasia. Atelosteogenesis, type 2 tends to be more severe, however.

Atelosteogenesis, type 2 is one of a spectrum of skeletal disorders caused by mutations in the SLC26A2 gene. The protein made by this gene is essential for the normal development of cartilage and for its conversion to bone. Mutations in the SLC26A2 gene disrupt the structure of developing cartilage, preventing bones from forming properly and resulting in the skeletal problems characteristic of atelosteogenesis, type 2.

This condition is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and two copies of the gene - one from each parent - must be inherited for a child to be born with the disorder. The parents of a child with an autosomal recessive disorder are not affected by disorder, but are carriers of one copy of the altered gene.

I have no where else to turn to and I found this by chance. I'm in deseparate need of help. I was recently terminated from a job that I had for nearly ten years. I was assaulted by a gang of thugs back in Oct 2009 and my life has spiraled out of control since. I could not go back to work right way due to my physical injuries and eventually my emotional and pyschological state had gotten worst. I went into a deep depression for about 6 weeks after my assault. I went back to work because I was falling behind on my bills. My mananger did not understand the pyschological impact that the assault had on me, I am a 40 year old male, and questioned my absences from work. He harassed me and threatened serious consequences would occur if I could not provide medical documentation supporting my reason for being out. I was able to provide medical documentation from two physicians but was told that it was inadequate and therefore my outage was abuse of the company attendance policy. Even though the state of California had accepted my claim for disability and paid me benefits during my 6 weeks outage. So I got terminated from the company and have no income coming in. I am awaiting appeal process with the company but in the meantime my bills are falling behind again. I need short term assistance to cover my bills until I can either get my job back or find another job. Is there anything sites I can go on to find help.  Anything will be greatily appreciated.
