Newest Update

Journal entry by Stephanie Rinehart

We are struggling so badly right now.  Since my last update my husband's wages were garnished for last years medical bills.  We got behind on our mortgage.  We couldn't get my truck to pass emissions.  I have spent 2 nights in the er.  We haven't been able to get me to a dentist or an optometrist, and the plumbing in the basement is still is not repaired, and we owe $4,500.00 in medical bills, and that's just me.  Everyone in the family is having health and financial issues.

I don't know what to do.  Normally we are the ones that help my family.   I have never been so behind before, or tired or sick.  I have continously been on chemotherapy for over 12 months and am getting additional injections 3 days a week so my immune system is strong enough to get my treatments, but they make me so so tired.  So instead of being exhausted 2 or 3 days a week it's now 4 to 5 days a week. And to make things worse I think my cancer is growing again.  My protein markers that indicate cancer growth are rising.  So I wait to see what happens.

I guess that's the update.

I want to thank Gamers Giving for stepping in and working to get my transportation repaired.  As well as everyone else that's lent a hand.
