HI MY NAME IS ELI54. I LIVE IN EAST TEXAS WITH MY HUSBAND OF 23 YEARS. THIS IS MY STORY.....2008 HAS NOT BEEN THE BEST YEAR FOR US, REGARLESS THAT WE ARE JUST IN MAY.
ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AGO, MY HUSBAND WAS PUT IN THE HOSPITAL FOR PNEUMONIA. HE WAS IN THERE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. SINCE THEN THINGS HAVE BEEN ROUGH. MY HUSBAND IS THE ONLY ONE WORKING.
HE HAD PUT SOME VACATION TIME IN FOR MY GRANDAUGHTER'S WEDDING AND HER COLLEGE GRADUATION. WHEN HE WAS HOSPITALIZED, HE HAD USE UP ALL HIS TIME. WE THOUGHT OH WELL, WILL MAKE DO SOME HOW RIGHT? JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE DOING FINE, I WAS HOSPITALIZED . I HAD FALLEN IN THE SHOWER AND BROKEN THREE RIBS AND BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN RIBS, I HAD STARTED TO DEVELOP PNEOUMONIA ALSO. I WAS HOSPITALIZED. THEN ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, MY HUSBAND GOT ILL ONCE MORE AND WAS HOSPITALIZED,.
MIND YOU MY HUSBAND HAD NO MORE VACATION TIME. SO WHEN HE WASNT AT WORK DUE TO MY ILLNESS OR HIS, HE DID NOT GET PAID FOR IT.
WITH THE COST OF BOTH OF OUR MEDICATIONS, WE JUST CAN'T MAKE IT. I HAVE RHEMATOID ARTHRITIS. MOST OF MY MEDICATIONS ARE JUST TOO EXPENSIVE.
WE HAD INSURANCE THROUGH MY HUSBANDS JOB, BUT HAD TO LET IT GO, BECAUSE WE NEEDED THE THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR OUR OTHER BILLS EACH MONTH. I HAVE HAD TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH MEDICATIONS I AM GOING TO BUY EACH MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS. WE ALMOST DIDNT GO TO MY GRANDAUGHTER'S WEDDING BECAUSE OF THE TRAVEL EXPENSES. WE HAD TO PICK ARE WE GOING TO THE WEDDING OR THE GRADUATION.
WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR SOME TIME NOW. SOME OF THE MEDICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED TO ME, ARE MUSTS. MOST DAYS I AM IN BED ALL DAY, BECAUSE I JUST CANT COPE WITH THE DAILY ROUTINES OF LIFE.
THE END Story goes here...
