I’m exhausted today from battling my own chronic conditions, but I’ll do a quick story with your link in the near future. A local friend of mine had the same condition as you, and I donated to her surgery because I was in a good financial spot at the time and understood how important it was to her. The surgery made her entire life better, and she’s like a new person now. So much happier and energetic. I hope your story has a happy ending as well.
