I spoke the the lawyers assistant today who told me that the pittance from the medico legal case will be deposited in the bank account next week– after which, all the nagging debts will be expunged, a new car purchased and the rest put in a savings account.
Over the last few years I have learned to survive on very little money but a great deal of stress. Not that D and I will have loads of money to spare, but by expunging the debts, will lesson the strain immensely. I am not what could be considered a financial expert but by my calculations, most of my money went to credit cards to pay for medical treatment and food. The cost of living has increased dramatically and by they end of the debarcle, I did not even have enough money to take a bus for a day out. I am now deeply within the maze of a ME flair and am experiencing lots of pain and very disturbed sleeping pattern, my autonomic nervous system is really playing up hence my heart arrhythmia also. My dear husband is most excited by the cessation of medico legal, but unfortunately, the plans for us to travel and to drive around cannot happen. I am incredibly frustrated and sad. I am hoping with the coming months that I will be able to share in his joy.
The lawyer said it will be good to finish the process and help us to move on. She said she realises how sick I have been. If she only knew.
My hubby wants to know if I want the cherry red car or the black. All I want is to be able to walk down the stairs and get into a car– ANY car.
Peace
