Pain as therapy

I’m sorry to hear about your situation, that sucks. Luckily my wife has supported me through this, and is still working to support us. I’m on permanent disability(since july '15) and receive about 2/3 of the benefits if I worked until I’m 70 years old. That was the plan, but my body gave up several years too soon. I also have a hard time walking due to nerve damage in my feet, don’t want to think about how bad it will be in the future. At least you got to keep your house, we had to sell ours because we couldn’t afford to keep it. We moved in with my older sister for about 6 weeks, then moved in with our son and his family for 2 years. Pretty humbling experience after working 50-60 hours a week for 35+ years.

I know it sounds cliche’, but hang in there, life has never been fair, and never will be.
P.S. Drinking less could probably help, at least you’d have a little more money.
