Well, time has passed by and we have "arrived" at a new place to live.
It's only a one bedroom apartment and it is in the desolate town called "Wheeling"....
The town is kitty-corner to Palwaukee Airport (did I spell that right, not sure), a strange mix of run-down apts., factories, currency exchanges, Russian grocery stores, and some imtermittant luxury homes.
My mother-in-law Dorothy got us into one of her apts that was otherwise empty. Kinda like "Priceline", better for someone to pay something rather than get nothing. We don't even have a lease, ergo another illegal apartment. I tried over and over to get assistance with rent, and or/ a deal with some landlord in DuPage County, but obviously they aren't getting any kinder out there.
My husband is getting skinnier and skinnier, down to 190 lbs. now, after previously weighing in at 260. Thank GOD he had some fat to waste away on, otherwise he would be more skeletal than he already is. He is half-way thru combined chemo-radiation therapy, extremely sick and unhappy, to say the least. Some mornings when I wake up and look at him, I just want to cry. Doesn't look like himself at all anymore. So hard to see this, so hard for him to live this. Kids are upset much of the time.
