Reply #317: our luck already did run out

Hubby just turned 60, and spends 3 days each week attached to a dialysis machine. I am 48, and am his caregiver. Due to the insane Medicaid rules, if I work, he could loose his drug coverage. Because of his medical needs, I am unable to work full time, and of course part-time work never comes with any benefits. We don't know how long he will live; my guess is about 5 more years, baring some exciting medical discovery.

We have a very small mortgage, no savings, the car is paid off, and we went through Ch. 7 last summer. We owe Mom for the legal fees and are paying her off.

And to top off everything, on March 14th, our goddaughter will move in with us. She is 18, bipolar, newly orphaned (her mom died in Jan.), and just got kicked out of her grandparents' house. Think good thoughts for us.
