Go Fund Me

As Robbie may have to have a bilateral hip disarticulation through a private surgeon we are raising funds to cover surgery costs and associated expenses. So as advised by a few people I have set up a Go Fund Me account.

Professor Al Muderis, Australia's leading orthopaedic surgeon, has agreed to see Robbie again for reassessment. It was nearly three years ago that he first examined Robbie thoroughly. At the time totally opposed to a bilateral hip disarticulation. But recommended a double above knee amputation that was carried out on the 11th of December, 2013 at Penrith's Nepean hospital. The surgery was a 100% success for the purpose of removing pain in his lower legs and enabling me easier access for his personal care. But the amputations were not intended to address the excruciating pain in both his hips from bone spurs and arthritis that has led to Robbie living and sleeping in his electric wheelchair for nearly sixteen years and placing considerable strain on his entire spine. The amputations were a first step. But despite Dr Sorial reassuring us that further surgeries would be considered this has not eventuate as all other options have been dismissed. 

Hip replacement is inappropriate and would still leave Robbie with two useless stumps that prevent easy access in cleaning him. Very fat stumps that are obstructing access to his stoma resulting in his need to now wear garbage bags as any wafer and bag becomes compromised. 

Removing the heads of both femur bones would only leave the danger of the remaining bone riding up into the pelvic region due to muscle contracture from Robbie's particular cerebral palsy. And again cutting the ligaments and tendons entirely would not remove the problem of obstructing useless large stumps. 

No surgeon has yet to advise us of any practical and beneficial alternative over that of the requested bilateral hip disarticulation. 

The argument that such surgery 'might' make his condition worse has no foundation. Without the surgery he is deteriorating at a rapid pace. Which will soon result in him not being able to sleep in a bed or a wheelchair and no body will be able to care for him. He will then be placed in a hospital bed plied with heavy pain killers and sedatives and undergo a slow painful death. Or choke on his food like many with cerebral palsy have and inhale food leading to pneumonia and death from medications interfering with chewing and swallowing function. Robbie is already a high choke risk in his wheelchair sitting up straight! UNACCEPTALE alternative!!!

Nor will he loose his balance as he has no balance anyway due to clonus and the muscle contracture that gravitate him to toppling to his left side. He at all times has a side support and strap around his chest. With no clonus or muscle contracture Robbie would become stable.

Both Robbie and I do not believe there will be a major issue with phantom pain either. After his double amputation he did not suffer phantom pain to any high degree. To this day he only gets mild sensations and that is when he is stressed. Every one believed severe phantom pain would occur and that the amputations would not be a success. 

I invite any surgeon or person dealing exclusively with individuals with cerebral palsy to a public debate on why he or she feels Robbie would be worse off given a bilateral hip disarticulation. 

The argument that removing Robbie's legs could be a world first for someone with cerebral palsy so let's not go there is ridiculous and discrimitory. Medicine is all about world firsts. Progress after trails. Some trials work but many fail. I challenge anyone to contest me over why Robbie should not be able to decide his own fate when his fate soon will be death without surgery. Over the past 21 years surgeons have rebelled against surgical procedures he has had in the past believing such surgeries would 'destroy' his life. Nope! All treatments or surgery that Robbie has requested after becoming informed have been successful.

  1. Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
