Hi...I am a 52 year old woman married to a good hearted 34 year old. He is unemployed and we are broke. I get SS Disability, but it doesn't begin to cover everything, and I am scared witless. Our debts are not from credit cards, we don't have any. They are all medical bills from my surgeries, er visits, and expensive tests. I have a subarachnoid cyst that lies between my optic nerve and pituitary gland, also reaching into my frontal lobe on the right side, and wrapping around my carotid artery. I also have blurred eyesight, blackouts, and vertigo. I have severe peripheral neuropathy. I have migraines, jerking of my hands and feet, and fibromyalgia. As if that were not enough, my hubby tripped over the dog and shot me. Two inches from my spine; destroyed 1 rib; creased pancreas; severed artery to adrenal gland; 1/3 of stomach had to be removed. It's been a bad couple decades.
We've sold everything possible, borrowed all we can. I'm so scared I can't bear it, and the thought of that handgun gets more tempting every day. Right not my meds need refilled. It comes to about 85 bucks, and we just don't have it. I don't know how I will bear all the pain. I'm scared. At my age, I should be living in my nice little home, seeing my grandchildren, and enjoying my life. It gets harder every day to go on.
Well, thanks for listening. I feel a little less alone.
Love, health and wealth of happiness to you all. AllyMae.
