They found the treatment for tuberculosis and all the vaccines. So I have to temper it that I did benefit from a lot of medical successes. And that's the way life is. They didn't know about this. Thank goodness that people were working on it. Thank goodness it moved from just little boys' problem to people's problems, and that women are being seen.

Like, do I wish science had worked on it a little quicker and harder? Sure. Am I upset about the gender discrimination in the diagnosis? I'm really angry about that. So just recently, I've had a lot of anger and frustration in not finding the... what I think is the appropriate caregivers for me. I'm just happy that my daughter's getting it and I'm super happy that my granddaughters are getting it.

Well, my husband and I have been together around nine years, married seven. Um, there's a significant age difference. When we got married, he has five grandchildren and they kind of insisted on a prenup, which I didn't mind. I had my own house. He had his own house and my own investments, his own investments. No biggie.

Well, about a year and a half after we got married, he got diagnosed with dementia and I had to quit my job early and take care of him at 62. So I started doing myself security early. I still have investment checks that come in from my investments. But his daughter kind of pays all the bills for his house, and I still take care of mine.

No, I just sold it in June. I owned it with my mother, and she was getting elderly, and she moved in with my sister. It was too much house for her after I got married. So we sold it, and by the time we paid off the debts... So at the profits, I have about $60,000 left.

Correct. So, you know, the kids are going to sell it eventually, and I don't know what they're going to do with it. But my question is, I live in Florida. Rent's super high. Do I try to rent? So I try to buy something small, like manufactured on a condo with a small mortgage with what I've got left.

Um, I would pretty much live separately as far as finances goes and stay one. I mean, I've had my bills here too. When I sold my house, I paid off 30,000 in debt. I still owe 10. So I'm considering just go ahead and pay that off and there would be 50,000 but I just want, I don't want to pay it off too quickly.
