A year of changes already begun

[Guest guest]

My mother-in law moved in with us, with terminal cancer, in June of last

year.

Because of the stress, because of what the stress has done to make me worse,

because of the lack of money and the trying to save the house and some

semblance of a " normal " life in the midst of it all, my husband had a heart

attack in late December.

My mother-in-law suspended medical treatment after succumbing to infection

in the hospital in January, and became a hospice patient.

She died, with her family by her side, in our home in February.

I applied for disability last March, after the doctor said that I needed

in-home care provision, and the agency that would take care of it said that

they do not cover our area. So ... my husband stepped in to care for me.

The disability hasn't come through yet, and they have me scheduled to see a

psychologist/psychiatrist this month, and an M.D. next month. Their

reasoning is that, although my Doctor of Record was an M.D., he had me see

his P.A. all but a couple of times. So when the P.A. got his own practice

several months ago, I went with him ... consistency in care provider, and he

actually seemed to give a d _ _ n. But even when the P.A. was still with the

MD, the MD hadn't co-signed the medical reports in my file.

Now it looks like a divorce, or at least a seperation, is rapidly

approaching. The stress is too much on him.

I have two children, and am terrified.

Not a plea for sympathy or advice ... just a venting in the only place I

can.
