It is a difficult adjustment financially, but I've been through worse. I've had to start over and make new beginnings throughout my life (lastly when my husband died of cancer in 04). I remarried in 08 and two months later we had a car accident that left me in this condition. My poor husband has had to deal with my pain management and crankiness. We both deserve better, and if it takes starting over again - it just makes us stronger individuals.
I am very resourceful and will make this work. We are not like video games - no "do overs" or "unlimited lives." I want to enjoy the one I have.
Stonewall Boris - You made the right decision. Every day you spend out of bed as a functioning human being is worth every dime spent. I'm sure your wife appreciates having her husband back too.
