Burden
Since my stay in the hospital in Jan thru most of Feb, '07
I feel I am a real burden to my husband. Trying to pay for medicines and hospital and doctors bills is harder than hard. He lost his business due to taking care of me and hardly any dispatches for his trucking company coming in. I had had congestive heart failure, pneumonia, copd, and a blood disorder among other things like the "norm" arthritis and such for my age. I am currently taking eleven different meds and each week I die a little more inside when my husband goes for my weekly supply of prescriptions. He has always been a hard worker all his life, but now with trying to make enough money for my meds and taking care of me and the housework, makes me a real burden to him. He says I'm not a burden, but what do you think? I LOVE that man!
