My father standing as straight as he can

3 years ago

This is a secret recorded video of my dad, trying to get a drink by himself. As you can see, he can not stand up straight. He was leaning on the counter for over a full minute before I started to record. I love my dad, but there is nothing I can do to truly help him. I try to do everything for him, but he is stubborn and will try and do things for himself, regardless to his much pain he is in. Once again, he is too stubborn, and maybe a little proud, to ever ask for help, but he really needs it. I work full time, but I don't make much money. I try to be there to do everything I can for him, but I can only do so much. He desperately needs a surgery, and could really use a part time nurse or therapist. Someone whom can help him medically. There's no way we can afford this, so again I'm asking for any assistance you can give. If your in the northern Maryland area and know of any specialist for this type of pain, maybe a nurse whom can volunteer or work at a discounted rate for even just an hour a week or so, anything at all that can help him. I don't think he will turn down the help if it arrives, given his situation, but I know he would never ask anyone for help. If you do know anyone whom can help, or if you care to donate money to help me find him a nurse or pay for surgery and/or medical treatment, my email is [email protected]. I'm going to start a givesendgo for him soon becauseI'm truly at wits end with hearing my father cry in the middle of the night, screaming in severe pain. My mother died from an opioid dependency, brought on from 80+ hour weeks as a postal supervisor. The drug addiction she faced led to their divorce 15 years ago, after multiple rehab stays, she passed away from her drug addiction 3 years ago. This is why he won't take pain killers, but would rather suffer until hopefully some kind of treatment comes through. If you can help and would like to know more, please reach out to me! We really need your help! Thank you so much for your time reading this, and for any help you can give. God bless you.
