My 13 year old daughter had Cystic Fibrosis with MRSA and Type 2 Diabeties. Her health has declined to the point that she can no longer attened school. So how do I homeschool her and still provide finacially? And how do I maintain health insurance for my own numerouse health problems if I am not working? I am lost and scared.

First off, let me say that I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

About your dilemma, I don't know what Ohio has to offer, but I do know California has a program called GHPP, Genetically Handicapped Persons Program. I have no idea how long you have to live in California before you get to participate, nor do I know if such a program exists in Ohio. But I do know that we used this program for a time when I was at a different job making less money, and it helped reduce many doctor's bills significantly. Unfortunately this only applies to your daughter, I don't believe this would apply to you.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
