Hello my name is Krista Bain When I was a teenager I was in a incident where I came of a sprinting horse. The horse flwe me in the air and I landed crash down on my back with a 'crunch' sound in my spine. I felt tingling in my legs and adrenaline kicking in. I was so afraid. I was in shock unable to get up or move. I waited what felt to hours pass by and managed to slowly grasp myself to a stand. When I arrived back to to the horse stable I told the people there what happened. They comforted me and let me call my caregiver( I will not make the person to there discression)They knew the horse I was riding was not tame as did I but I regretfully chose to ride this horse regardless.I was instructed to go to hospital and tell my caregiver to take me there.The drive was around 45 mins from home and longer to the hospital Because I had come off horses many many times in the past my caregiver decided to make the decision not to take me to the hospital to be examined. I was in alot of pain stopped riding and took weeks off school. Because of this eventually my caregiver took me to a medical centre but when I spoke she downplayed what I said out of embarrassment of not providing my care at the time and I left that appointment deviated and without any Acc claim or examination. I have finally received a doctor after many attempts for x-rays that went unnoticed be ause I didn't receive a claim to begin with. The x-ray shows L2 &L1 fractures that have healed and a concaved scelrosis of the lower spine. The pain has only gotten worse over the years and without nerve pain killers 5 times per day I'm in absolute agony. I am afraid to take these pills for the rest of my life. I am unable to receive any help for surgery from Acc because this is a past incident. I have not been able to keep any work because my pain get heightened with any form of physical work. I am afraid of ending up in a wheelchair when I am older and having to take nerve painkillers for the rest of my life. I have a six year old son and I really cannot bare the thought of the future going downhill like this. I am afraid of being stick for the rest of my life due to the neglect of my caregiver. I have big dream to accomplish I have a great voice, I was a champion at netball and I love animals horseriding and travel. I feel down and out and the pain is closing off my ability to speak up and to get out and do things I would usually enjoy. I want to be a great role model for my son and work a great deal and provide the life for myself and my son so he can have a good future as well. I need to raise $21,000 for a lower spinal infusion surgery to be able to get this done. I would greatly appreciate any help and I thankyou ? Krista
