My fiance and I (already struggling to keep our phones on) are both going to be going through major surgery sometime in the future, which is a huge deal for a few reasons. The surgeries themselves are both gender affirming and will address serious long-suffered health issues. But we have such severe allergies that hospitals generally cannot feed us full meals without killing us. (ask me more about this, I would love an opportunity to scream about it)

In the past, a week in this hospital has cost us $300 for both of us to get food we can actually prepare and eat in a hospital room. We are looking at some insane upcoming costs, even if our insurance covers everything directly related to the surgery, because it absolutely won't cover the food costs.

oh, and I'm going through a cancer scare, waiting on a biopsy. Just totally separate from all this, so yknow. Sort of bracing for things to get worse.

Anything helps with this. I made art and you can buy pieces at my kofi If you'd like to help directly, I have a gfm and my payment links are as follows. Dm for proof or details.

At the time of this being posted, we have recieved $30 to go towards this. These surgeries will be both gender affirming and medically life-changing for us. We deeply appreciate any help preparing us to take care of eachother through all of this.

Ik I've made a post about it before but hospitals don't always have the ability to cater to life or death food allergies and are often not up front about this when admitting patients.

Yesterday I had to take my roomate to the hospital. He is allergic to soy, dairy, most tree nuts, several fruits, and he has severe celiacs, so no gluten whatsoever.

Little backstory, we are both disabled, and I am his advocate in situations like these, generally I am his caregiver, though I'd say it goes both ways.

So he is being pushed to accept hospitalization, and I am agreeing until I ask about food. The nurse says "it's a hospital, why wouldn't we be able to accomidate"

I am more direct, and say "many hospitals can't, I don't mind walking to the cafeteria to confirm." She seems to get frustrated but says she will call them and leaves after belittling me for having her check.

When she returns I'm told "they cannot guarantee any of the foods we have will be allergen free, but nothing in life is 100%"

My roomate came to the hospital because he was bleeding from ulcers caused by accidentally getting a single speck of grain alcohol based hand sanitizer on his tounge.

Td;lr hospitals don't always provide for allergens, and when I brought this up in a hospital with a nurse, I was basically told the patient should just eat allergens

[transgendz]

So, we are both getting surgery soon. I am a celiac with a severe egg intolerance and allergies to soy and wheat (including wheat based dextrose and maltodextrin). My partner, who this post is about, is a celiac who is allergic to soy, wheat, cantaloupe, passionfuit, kiwi, guava, and more! (The nut allergy blessedly went away bc autoimmune disorders can be weird)

We are fully expected to just bring outr own food for our upcoming hospital stays for Surgery. That or starve. We have to bring microwavable/pre-prepped food bc they cannot guarantee safe prep. This will be insanely expensive but the alternative is starving post-surgery. You can help here, but mostly I just want people to know the reality of ppl with multiple severe allergies in a hospital.

My fiance and I are currently unpacking from being evacuated cross-country (trans, intersex, immigrant reasons), he's just changed his name for the sake of his saftey and is ammending the required documents, we are getting decent medical care for the first time in a decade🎉 I am also going through an ill timed cancer scare and we are struggling to keep up with our bills, and feed ourselves. I need to eat to take my meds. I need the phone on to contact my doctor and schedule rides to appts.

Right now we are primarily concerned with the phone and power bills. The phone bills is due tomorrow. We had a payment plan to pay off the past due amt, but there screw up in making the payment plan and as a result, they want the full amount. We are $200 short for that rn.

I have art for sale on my kofi, and I will be posting more frequently. If anyone would like to buy art or jist throw us a bit to help with all of this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

To summarize a previous update, we got the phone bill paid, the power bill is due, and I had a doctors appt today. Nothing has been recieved since we got the phone bill covered.

The doctors appt was. Eventful. I will be getting a pulmunary function test, cardiac monitor, 5 refferals to specialists, and if one of those goes well, I will be getting very major surgery in the relatively near future. If another one goes well, I may not need to pay for the MRI out of pocket, but thats not for certain. This is all on top of my biopsy, which has taken a while to schedule because it keeps getting passed to more knowledgable surgical teams. Our food stamps application was also resubmitted today, after some confusion regarding the documents.

Right now, our most urgent needs are food, $50 for the power bill, and anything to cushion the blow of the next phone bill and the likely upcoming month or so I will be down due to massive surgery. This is something I am stressing about, because it will be hours away, and I have allergies such that hospitals can't normally feed me without killing me, so I will need to spend a lot on pre-prepared food.

[theartistrans]

My fiance is back in this hospital, this time hetting checked for a blood clot (recently he had pancreatitis) Hospitals can't feed him due to multiple cross contamination sensitive allergies to common foods, so we may fairly urgently need some help with food costs.

[theartistrans]

We are back home, they didnt find a blood clot, but his bloodwork was all over the place, so theyre concerned and very adamant he keep his upcoming drs appt. We could really use some help with food in the meantime as we are waiting for snap, and we may need some help with the prescriptions the ER discharged him with.

[theartistrans]

I know this has a lot of notes, but right now we need $60 to get our meds from the pharmacy. His prescription from the ER and mine for migraines are both not getting covered by insurance. We have 3 hours to be able to get them because the bus is our only way into town rn, and there's only the one line back home.

Sorry for the late update. We were able to pay for our phone bill. In the afternoon, I have a doctor's appointment where I'll find out more about the following, but it looks like I'm going to be needing to pay out of pocket for an MRI. My insurance won't cover it without 6 weeks of physical therapy. No one on my medical team thinks its reasonable or acceptable to put me into physical therapy. An out of pocket MRI could easily be $1,000. So uh. Yeah, I'm gonna be posting a lot more art for sale.
