I am diabetic and my right leg got infected. The infection turned into septic, which is a blood infection. The infection moved quickly threw my body.

I was admitted to intensive care for three days and in a general room for another three days. I was then transported to a rehab center because of the sores on my legs.

I was there from October 2 and was released November 17, 2008. I was readmitted to Montgomery Hospital on November 19, 2008 and was released Nov.21, 2008.

I continue to receive home care for both physical therapy and nursing care. I am applying for medical help. The hospital bills, the nursing home bills and copayments are quite high and more then we can afford to pay.

I will not be able to continue receiving care until I settle the balance left over from my stay in the ICU. Thank you for taking the time to read my application. I genuinely appreciate it.
