Gay Porn Star Jimmy Durano Recovering From Accident And Brain Surgery
A GoFundMe page with the below message was just shared by a friend of gay porn star Jimmy Durano, who was seriously injured in Palm Springs, California and had to have a craniotomy. Unfortunately, there were complications following the brain surgery, including an infection, and Jimmy is going to have a long recovery. Via the GoFundMe:
Jimmy recently had a very serious accident that required brain surgery. This surgery was followed by over two weeks in the hospital for recovery, mostly in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The doctors were forced to remove part of his skull during his surgery and, due to swelling in his head they cannot immediately replace part of the skull. To keep safe he must now wear a helmet just to leave the house. Only when the swelling goes down can they replace the skull. This will require an additional surgery and recovery period.
After the first surgery and hospital recovery period, he was released to go home but was still in great pain. He was doing better, but after being home a while, things got worse. He was in great pain and had further had complications so he was taken back to the emergency room. After further testing it was determined that he had a serious infection. This required the put a PICC line.
This required a second surgery and Julio is once again in great pain and in the in the ICU. When he is released there will be another very long recovery period. Unfortunately, not all of this is covered by insurance.
With the multiple surgeries we hope he will be able to work in the future, but for now, he will be laid up for a very long time and the future is unknown. It is expected he will be in recovery for at least an additional 6 months to a year after he is released from the hospital following this second surgery, and will require at least one more surgery and recovery period after that. He will not be able do any of the work he loves so much: dancing, personal appearances, scenes shoots, graphic design. While out of work the medical bills and living expenses are not stopping, nor will they during the additional surgery and hospital stay. It’s not in Jimmy’s optimistic nature to worry, but this time he is scared of what the future could look like.
Therefore, he really needs our support to get through these hard times. Anything you might be able to contribute will help alleviate this financial crisis, and give him some piece of mind. His husband, Christian Owen has been by his side this whole time. He spent the first 8 days of ICU staying 24/7 at the hospital sleeping in a chair next to Julio. He wanted to make sure he had an advocate and total support during the most critical time. This put a further drain on their resources. He continues to be at his side each and every night.
I’ve been through something similar (coincidentally, I had a craniotomy at the exact same hospital in Palm Springs, but luckily didn’t have to deal with complications), and this is very serious, very challenging (both physically and emotionally), and will require a long recovery. If you can donate anything to help Jimmy, please give what you can here.
