Many here know about my problems with husband, and also know that I am still married and living with him. Right now we are in the calm...and have been for several weeks now. Anyway, he got sick on Sunday, and tonight ended up in CCU in a hospital 15 miles from me. He has had 2 heart attacks, and they are ruling out another one, or congestive heart failure, or just simply complications from bronchitis. I was told by nurses and ER people that I do not need to leave town, even for work. Work is not a problem for me---the clincher is---his family. He had a sister who got in some serious trouble with the law. She stole $5,000 from her previous job, knowing she was going to be disabled soon. Because of alot of issues, this is a federal felony charge. She could not get an attorney for several reasons, among those money. One of my part time jobs is I sell prepaid legal service plans. Because of that, she was able to get a fantastic attorney, very well respected in the Kansas City community. This happened back in August. Reckoning day came and she was asked to turn herself in last week or be arrested. So...I drove her 100 miles to turn herself in, be booked, appear in court, and be released on a simple signature bond because of this attorney working for her. She has 4 sisters and 2 brothers and nieces of legal age but all were too busy to take her to the court date, so I sat for 6 hours and did many other things such as finding a bondsman, just in case, which trust me is not easy when you are not full time employed, and over 2 years employment at same place. Anyway, I had agreed to take her to her court date in the morning. AFTER asking other family members to please help out, and everyone in HER family refused. Remember I am the IN LAW....Well, when I took my husband to ER tonight and was admitted to CCU, for 2-3 days or more they said, I asked his family to take over the situation with the sister. Everyone refused, and one even actually called me at the hospital ER to see if I would still take her. When I said no, my responsibility was to my husband and 2 children, she got huffy and said, well, I just hope she has a good friend somewhere cause Im not going to help either I cant...I have to work. I said, I cant do it, I have to be here with Ron, and I contemplated taking her, and asked drs if it would be okay. They told me NO!!! Now I am feeling guilty because this woman will be going to jail for missing her court date. She is disabled...on a walker..can barely breathe without oxygen. But I cannot leave Ron to do this. What do I do now???? It is 12:13 am here, supposed to be on the road with her in barely 6 hours....and I asked her family to find someone and let her know what is going on. And they probably didnt, and I dont have the strength to call her, I just got home at 11:55....Can I run away with my kids and husband and try to make it without anyone around. They arent much help anyway. I need to be cloned to take care of my kids, my husband, and his sister, and also the business appointment I had scheduled for tomorrow night. I know the business appointment will be handled. Thank God for one good friend and business partner. Thanks for listening.
