So I just don't know how to sort all this information being thrown at me... Well start at the begining would help I guess. I'm having my crapy right kidney removed on the 26th of February. They are chopping through some muscles so I wont be able to pick up boogie for at least 4-6 weeks.
So I called the red cross to send a message out to hubby that I would need him home to take care of boogie and me while I recover. Well everything is good with that, he will be able to come home and take care of us, BUT naturally the army has found a way to screw us over in the process.
They told him that becasue he will be gone for more than 30 days most likely that they are either A. going to send him back to Ft. Huachuca to do rear D, and then he would do a compassionate reassignement to a post that has a hospital with real doctors for me. Or B. They chapter him out of the army with a family care plan. Ahhh this is terrible...
Ok so as much as we both want him home with us, te fact is this is our only opportunity to build a savings account for ourselves. We where planning on using this money as a downpayment for a house when he gets out of the army, a downpayment for our next car, and money for whatever else we needed. Now we wont be able to save nearly as much and as fast. If he got the boot from the army I would have to quit school AGAIN, I am currently getting the military discount and my tuition is half off becasue of that, I don't now how I would pay for school otherwise, unless the VA pulls through for me and I get vocational rehabilitation(they would pay for everything including books and tuition and extra money like an allowance on top of my disability benefits)
Like I said I now this sounds meesed up and I guess either way I would be happy, I would love having him home again and being like a normal family. At the same time I just don't want to fall into a rut with our finances again and end up on WIC. I want to finish school since I am getting close to finally finishing... It's kinda embarassing seeing all my friends with degrees, some with two, and I am still scrpping by just to get my first, it's a pride thing now more than anything, I just want the stupid piece of paper,lol. I am disabled so I don't know how many jobs I could really handle anyways... Well if you actually read through my rant give me your opinion. I did mention to hubby that my step-mom and dad would be willing to help me and the boogs while I recover, but he insists that no one could take care of me as well as he could(this is true). I have no say or power over what happens, which makes it even more frustrating for me... Well Blah...at least I get to see my best friend soon, yippee...
