I'm in so much pain that I can't sit or stand very long. So am hoping to make this short.

I bought a recliner thinking that I could recline in it and spend more time on the computer. I was wrong... I don't seem to be able to hold the computer and type while I am reclining. It does help me sleep so all is not wasted.

The doctors have no idea what is causing the pain and their only remedy is a shot of cortisone in a specific spot. The only doctor that my insurance covers was on vacation until May 1st. The first appointment she has is the 24th of this month.

With no pain pills except ibuprofen, it's going to be a long month for me.

I stopped asking for $3,000 a month when I started selling on eBay. But with the pain and not being able to sit longer than 10 minutes, I haven't been getting a lot posted on eBay. I have a lot of stuff to sell and it's really high quality thanks to my Readers and Goodwill. I just can't bear the pain long enough to get any posted.

My social security arrives on the 15th. At the moment I have $13.00 in Paypal and over $800.00 in bills that still need to be paid.

My electricity bill is $220.00. and its due tomorrow. I live in an all electric house that was built in the 50s over the basement that was dug in the 1840s. I don't know what happened to the first house. The only heat in this house is baseboard electric heaters in each room. I have to go from room to room to turn them up or turn them off. Needless to say, sometimes I forget about turning one off and run my bill up even higher.

I would love to move to a better house, but you know my money problems. And with the pain lately I've given up on looking for something better.

I have over $800 in bills that are due now. If you can spare a few dollars please put them in the fundraiser. You can use paypal or Wepay and put it on a credit card. I think they also take checks but I don't know how that's done.

I I truly appreciate all the help you have given me over the years. When I started, I debated charging people $5.00 to enter. I decided if I did that, I would lose most of my readers. I decided to ask for donations to keep everything up and running. And so far this way of doing things has worked.

I give updates on what's going on... like now. So people can see that I really can't do this without your help.

Thank you so very mcuh,
