Now that I’m diabetic I have found myself thinking of the future things that I may not be able to do and things that I need to do now so that I won’t be in trouble later. One of these things is to get long term care insurance. If something happens to me and my family can’t afford to take care of me that will not be a fun time in my life and I’ve already been though enough I think.

I know the reality of the illness I have, it can cause heart attacks, stroke and many more problems. I know that eventually my family will not want to care for me. Since it looks like children for me are out of the question. I would have to rely on my sisters and brother, my nieces and nephews. I don’t want to put anyone in that financial position.

Right now I can’t afford that type of insurance, but I hope to be able to soon.

This year I was invited by an old friend of mine to a new years party, the problem is she lives 2 hours away and I have no car, I would love to go, but I can’t. We met in Jr high and have been friends ever since. I moved the year after we met and we still have kept in touch. Strange how things like that happen.

I think of her a lot, she has cerebral palsy and every time I hear about it, she pops into my head. At my college graduation our speaker also had cerebral palsy and I was amazed at what he had done in his lifetime, surprised, no. My friend has also done alot and is a very strong person because of what she had to deal with. She is is great friend and after everything I have dealt with this year it would have been great to see her. Hopefully I can get down that way soon. It’s strange what you start to think about this time of year isn’t it?
