Oh Janet, I'm so sorry. It's just such an awful time in our country right now and then to have to worry about finding another job, well, it just doesn't seem fair. A similar thing happened to us five years ago when my hubby woke up one morning in heart failure. He's never been able to work a day since. Fortunately, we were able to get his medical retirement, but that took 10 months. He had about 2 months of sick leave, so we had to (very unexpectedly) live on my salary for about 8 months. Needless to say, it was quite a shock. He was in the hospital several times in that 10 months, and we were able to keep paying to keep his health insurance, but it didn't pay 100% for anything. I remember paying the hospital and doctors $10 a month. It was all we had. It isn't the same, I know - but you can get through it - just keep pushing forward.

Again, I'm really sorry.
