Radiation, Dental Work, and Yoga

For those of you who check here and not Jordan’s facebook for updates, he’s going in for his imaging at Loma Linda on Thursday for radiation treatments. He should be starting up in the next 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, it looks like driving up to Loma Linda every day for 7-8 weeks is the only workable option for him, which will suck, but we’ll get through it.

In the meantime, Jordan went to the dentist and learned he has $5,800 worth of work that should ideally be done before he starts treatment, since the radiation will affect his bone regrowth and potentially his salivary glands.

Additionally, his physical therapy has run out and his orthopedic surgeon strongly recommended he start yoga to continue his physical recovery. Luckily, there’s a great yoga studio 2 blocks from us that he can walk to, and it’s the cheapest yoga studio in town. Unluckily, he’s STILL waiting on a decision from social security regarding benefits, and he’s used up his meager state disability funds.

So, he’s started a fundraiser to try and get these last few things taken care of. If you can help out in any way, with any amount, please visit his fundraiser page and help out: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/k7b4/dental-and-rehabilitation-fund

Thank you!!
