My sister is kind of getting up there and she is always borrowing money. She has five kids and her husband's been out of work for the better part of the last two years. He gets odd jobs here and there, but nothing that makes up all the money that he used to make working at Mediven. My sister has not been adjusting well to this new kind of lifestyle. For years she enjoyed nannies and maids and basically buying whatever she wanted, within reason of course, but now things aren’t like that anymore and she is not doing well with it.
We were shopping the other day and I loaned her a few bucks so she could buy a pair of Juzo support hose. As we were heading back out to the car she totally broke down and told me that she didn't know how much more that she could take. She was even thinking about going back to work full-time, but I didn't see how that was going to be possible because she had all of those kids to take care of. What I think she needs to do this is leave that husband of hers, because he doesn't seem to be making any effort to find any kind of work anymore. But hopefully things will work out and their lives will get back on track, because I hate to see my sister suffer so much.
