I'm having bariatric surgery next week and trying to prevent from becoming homeless.
My health condition started with a rare lung disease called Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. Cysts filled my lungs, I was on oxygen, and didn't have the lung function to be able to move much. I gained a lot of weight and now I have been diagnosed with Lipedema. Lipedema is a painful fat disorder. It's not really my fault I am like this. I am explaining this because someone from DU who I will not call out here.. posted on my facebook that I should get a job and stop begging for money. I thought I do owe people a more detailed explanation of what is going on in my life, no matter how embarrassing it is.
I'm having Duodenal Switch Procedures - SADI-S surgery a week from today on 7/21/22. I'm 7 days into my fat free milk diet. I can having nothing but fat-free milk for 14 days to shrink my liver for a safer surgery. Because I also have Lipedema, there will have to be more surgeries in the future to get rid of the remaining painful fat.
On top of the health issues, being on the brink of homelessness, my son who just lost his step father, Tommy has been disowned by his bio dad and bio family. Tommy came into my life when my son was 4, Tommy was his dad, they were close. My son is gay. It's not a big deal to me and wasn't to Tommy but his bio father is Egyptian and Muslim. My son's father snooped in his laptop while my son was visiting him. That whole side of the family instantly disowned him. He is devastated. We're going through a lot. I thought I needed to explain more of what is happening after getting told to get job and stop begging. I promise you, this is not easy. I don't want to ask. It's a lot easier to try and deal with this now than later if I have an eviction on my record. If you have a little extra, please help me. I do genuinely appreciate all the help I get.
P.S please forgive my grammar. I'm not a good writer.

Seems these babies are coming in hot and heavy now. The current Primitive, Blue Lucy, is preparing for Surgery and about to be homeless. Her Son, who she claims is "on the spectrum" recently moved in with her.
I have a question. Why, dear lord why, do these always involve someone "on the spectrum". Is that the new thing?
Anyways, her GoFundMe is currently setting at $345, and she is accepting donations via paypal. So we cant account for that.
Mary Wheeler, Im rooting for you. Get as much out of them as you can. Pro Tip: Message the Primitive that goes by the name "MVD". He got your fellow DU'rs for around 9 grand. He knows how to work the system.
-
Well, she seems much more credible than her pal the MVD primitive.
A "plus" is that she describes the efforts she and her son are attempting, to better their situation as much as they can on their own.....something notably absent in MVD's panhandling, in which he mentions "trying to find a job" not at all.

You sir are a wise man. I didnt pick up on that, not at all. Guess Ill have to report back if it becomes a beg-a-thon. :cheersmate:

lol That fatass loser MVD, the compulsive GoFundMe scammer, is noticeably absent. No "wish I could help", no sympathies, nothing.
F'n wow.

Busy. Spending it. :stoner:

The large round perpetually sweaty primitive otherwise known as omaha steve used to try to fund raise with mini-tacos...and fundraised poorly, if memory serves.

Odds are slightly greater that he's simply trying not to draw undue attention before he scams the DUmp Monkies again, 1-3 months from now.
MVD has already spent the proceeds of his latest beg-a-thon. Guaranteed... :whatever:

He must be reading here. :rofl:

15. Good luck, BlueLucy
I know how it can feel embarrassing, but there are many caring people here. Don’t worry. K&R

17. Thank you!
Yes! There are a lot of caring people here. Just when I nearly lose faith in humanity DU comes through.

19. You are welcome. Yes don't be afraid to ask - I have done it 4 times
I really wish I could donate. I will kick the thread from time to time.
My mom is in a similar situation with a foreclosure. Her lawyer, who is expensive to keep, can help for a while. But the time will come when she has to move. And she would be better off moving when she can find a place. I am also autistic, so we have some similarities in our stories.
BTW,
I am also autistic, so we have some similarities in our stories.
How in the absolute **** are their stories even remotely relatable?

I just love the obnoxiousness. :lmao:

Unlike ordinary LCH, PLCH is known to often be caused by smoking. The Langerhans cell histiocyte is a white cell that is kind of like the body's janitor. Its normal function is to get rid of dead cells. Evidently, the damage smoking does can over-stimulate the Langerhans cells, causing over-production and healthy lung tissues getting attacked.
While not a cancer, ordinary LCH, which is very rare, is treated with a chemotherapy agent such as vincristine or vinblastine. In killing off white cells generally, the surplus Langerhans cell histiocytes are killed off. LCH especially happens in children, and can be fatal.

Well now. Learn something new everyday. :p

You're referring of course to his widely-publicized campaign for the Bellevue city council back in 2012.
He lost, of course, but he would've won if he'd paid attention to all of his friends at www.electstevedawes2012.
But no.....he was smarter than they, and he ignored us.
And so he came out fourth out of four.
That however was a very long time ago. More recently, one might recall that the big guy announced in May 2015 that he had only two years left in this vale of tears, due to some ailment that corrodes the brain.
Well, May 2017 was a lot longer ago than a mere two years, and he's still among us.
Or perhaps not?
The neighbors in Bellevue report that no one has actually seen him for months, going back "to at least two or three winters ago." They also say there's a light in one of the rear rooms of the house that's kept on 24/7/365.
He's apparently afflicted with porphyria cutanea tarda, the same ailment that caused George III of England so much misery, causing him to be forcibly restrained and eventually driving him mad.

MIRT alert! Anti-muzzie post.

Thank you for the mini taco clarification. That clears everything up. :-)

I was a bit rushed last evening while doing my post above. I'm not anything medical, but learned about LCH due to my then almost 2YO daughter having it and being on chemo for 6 months. She's in her 30s now and doing well.
I could go full- :bouncy and ramble on, but will refrain. This DU-member's :bouncy: -tale is at least plausible, and very possibly true. If (s)he gets the bariatric surgery, however, (s)he will have to develop all new eating and activity habits.

The phrase 'on the spectrum' encompasses a vast array and perfectly suits the DUmmies. Because it's a spectrum, it doesn't need a formal diagnosis of autism, Aspergers, &c. - it can just mean 'a bit of an odd character'; but at the same time, it sounds medical and legit so helps to win some faux compassion.

I recall years ago when many of the DUmmies claimed to have Asperger's and used that as the reason they were not able to work or "fit" in with society, oh and to get on SSDI. ::)
