Stress is mounting, wifey just had a seizure

[PushRestart]

As the stress of our situation has mounted, my wife and I have had to get a doctor's help to try to remain functional and reduce our stress. Married for twenty five years my wife has epilepsy and has only had 3 seizures in that time. Always during periods of high stress, like we are struggling with right now. I go to bed and my poor wife has a seizure, off to the hospital emer room (which our zillion dollar deductable will surely not cover) and now my stress is yet higher still. This bk stuff is really overwhelming us, thank God that my wife is AOK and that this forum exists, we are much better off for having found this great site. Do I pay the crazy bill when they send it or do we wrap it into our bk when we are ready? How do medical bills work into a chap 7? Anyone? Buehler?

Wrap the bill up in your bk7 when you file. How do medical bills work in a 7? They will magically disappear......

Thanks Super Frog, you made my day (while watching my wife recover in the emer room) and I will do just that!

PushRestart - I totally empathize with you. Shortly before we filed I ended up in the hospital for 3 days with what the doctor's thought was a heart-attack. Thank God it wasn't, but it really put things into perspective for me. Bills are not worth dying over. Since filing, I've been less stressed that I've felt in a long time. I hope your wife recovers quickly and that the two of you can get through the BK process pain-free.

Stress is a killer. Money is not everything. We get ourselves wound up as tight as a cork, but remember, to stop, breathe, and take care of yourself and your family.
I have to tell myself this all the time. Music helps soothe my soul. Don't know if you like soft rock, but here's one of my favorite stress relieving songs. I just want to hop in the video and get a hug, too!

Thanks for posting this vid BrokeinMD. I need that song about now. The stress has really got a grip on me now.

About 15 years ago, my colleagues and I, at the time, used this song in this in a video we made about homeless kids were trying to help thru a small nonprofit. I need a little help now to keep me from being homeless so it was touching to hear this again from my perspective.

It's a great tune, MemphisBelle, and Peter's (like I know him, LOL) music, even without seeing the video has always been able to calm me. Watching a 6 minute hug, though, along with it....Wow....When I start cranking Peter's music in the house, my other half knows that Paula is maxed out, and he stears clear of me! LOL!!!!
