john-marshall:My friend was admitted to the hospital today for major abdominal surgery and so I’m catsitting and collecting mail for her. I made it “Fort Ma” and filled it with things that smell like her. He was quick to crawl in and hasn’t moved since.She’s in pretty rough condition after being saddled with an extremely rough hand. She and I spent the last five months working to get her and her cat moved up to Connecticut from an abusive home in North Carolina. We made a pit stop in Virgnia so that she could visit her fiancee, Rachel, and Rachel’s daughter.She’s chronically ill, medically and psychiatrically, and because she has an extremely weak immune system, she contracted COVID and double pneumonia. COVID pushed her already medically fragile state over an edge and her small intestine went into failure. Within 48 hours of arriving in Connecticut to find her new home, she was admitted to the the hospital for a full two weeks beating COVID. She’s on total IV nutrition which puts her weak immune system in danger of sepsis and other infections. (Although if you’re feeling generous tonight… here’s a link to keep my friend’s self and her cat safe, housed, and fed) Tomorrow will mark the last day of the first month that she has lived in this apartment. She doesn’t know anybody, and traumatic things that she went through at home isolated her for loved ones from her childhood home. She turned 26 this past Saturday. She’s going to spend Thanksgiving in the hospital recovering from today’s surgery. And she’s having her first Christmas in a healthy environment this year. If you would take the time to go to https://www.123greetings.com/ and send her a free e-card to alexandertrbo@gmail.com so that I can show her how well she’s loved, I’d really appreciate it. Birthday card, get well soon, holiday cards, general winter. Hell, even new years. She could really use the support. -- source link
