Summer time

Jul 02, 2008 10:45AM - 2 comments

I am in week 27 of treatment.  I feel like the last 26 weeks have been, work, treatment, quest and doctors.   I am so grateful to be UND at 12 weeks, but this is like the neverending  treatment.  Before i started treating i always work two jobs.  I had to give the second one up once i started treating.  I am have my share of sides that change from week to week.  some week have been really good.  

I have my house up for sale, financially i am broke.  I have no sick, or leave time available. My husband works stricly on commission, and no one is buying cars right now = no commission!!!  We are reaching the point where he has to sell his bike, and i will turn my car in and just use my daughter's car.  

I just filled out the forms for FMLA, which will at least keep my benefits in tac.  But the worse part is "where will i get the energy to pack and move"  i just know i cant do it!

just venting to my self!!!!

and i want to be on the beach this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry to hear about you having to deal with financial hardship during TX. I hate moving and it's a lot of work. Do you have family or friends that can help? I was thinking about reducing my hours at work also because I am so beat up when I get home to the family but I carry the medical. If I drop my hours in 1/2 I will have to pay about 3x more for medical for me and my family. Most of my paycheck would go to medical Ins. which as you know is paramount now.Yesterday was a bad day but I slept a lot last night from 5:30 PM  on  and today was a good day. I was able to go out to dinner with my family, go for a short run with my husband (after sunset) and play a board game with the kids. I usually come home and have to lie down.
Boy I wish I could be at the beach also! My kids keep wanting to go swimming, amusement parks etc. and I can't go out in the sun. My daughter is on swim team and I go out there with a big hat and long sleeves, totally embarrassing my kids. Oh well such is life.
You hang in there your UND and a year will go by before you know it. I call it my chemical year.

Thanks for the comment,  Ya know its just one of the those days...

Did you look into the FMLA i just applied for it and it cover my benefits for up to 6 months intermintally.  I do not get paid for my days off, but they can touch the benefits.

The good thing is my kids are older 18 and 25 so i dont have to entertain them, I could see how hard it wouldbe with little kids, who try and understand but still want to go and do the normal things..

Hang in there too!  Its only a year of our life!  WE Can do it!
