All Good Things Must End...

27. Good for your wife!

My husband got a job off the farm so we could have insurance. Three weeks later I tore the meniscus in my left knee. From then it was right shoulder (the left shoulder was already completely rebuilt), right knee, hysterectomy, both knees replaced, carpal tunnel both hands, aortic valve replacement, kidney removed, back fused.

Somewhere in there the ACA kicked in and my husband retired early - the stress of his job was killing him so it was a good choice. Then we both were eligible for Medicare so we're covered for the rest of our lives - if the GOP does not kill Medicare.

I'm almost at the point I don't want anything else done, but my brain still works and I have too many projects left to give up.
