Billy came home Monday afternoon. He is doing as well as can be expected. He is struggling. His right side is still not fully operable. He can move and he has feeling, he just doesn't have control. Everything is difficult. He has his vision back, however his eyes are still not in line and they don't turn left. His brain forgot the left side of the world exists. This causes very blurry vision and 2 sets of everything. He must turn his head at an odd angle to get the 2 pictures to line up. His brain pauses. It just shuts off in the middle of talking and appears to go to sleep suddenly. After a moment, he wakes up and resumes what he was doing/saying, like nothing happened. The neurologist says this is normal. Much like a an electric breaker getting hot and flipping off. His appetite is great. He is watching TV and scrolling his phone one handed. If he types, its with one finger and lots of back spacing. I have learned how to get him in and out of the bath. He is using his walker to get around. He can get up on his own sometimes, but usually with assistance of the lift chair.

Physical Therapy called yesterday. They want $4k up front next Wednesday. I did find out about indigent. With that, I can make payments of $350 a week. I don't see that happening.

Met life cut of their portion of his disability 2 months ago for what we understood to be a paperwork error. In fact, it was because they over paid him last year for 8 months and didn't catch it. They will be keeping his payments until they are paid back. Thats 6 more months. I did call Social Security to see if they could expedite his Medicare, and they said no.

Because he wasn't paid we missed 2 bankruptcy payments. We filed for that during his cancer battle. The house is paid through the Chapter 13. We have already been notified that they will take action if we didn't catch up within 10 days. It's been more than 10 days. I am waiting for the eviction. I am hoping, if i can raise enough for one payment, it will stop it. Thats $1450. Excel is willing to do a payment plan if we can make a $300 payment by the 6th. The water is overdue. The dumpster is over due so they didn't empty it this week. It's full.

I am overwhelmed and out of options. It's not your problem, I know. Please pray that I can find a way through this. I just don't know what to do, other than to ask for boxes and start packing.
