good week

this week has been a happier one, my new daughter was asked to teach 6gr math next year, she has only been teaching for 2 yrs, and the parents and kids of her class 5th graders, are always saying what a great teacher she is and have done wonders with their children, that makes my heart sing, i am so glad my son found her. today was my hubby's birthday, we all went out to dinner and had a great time. don't know if i mentioned it but my son just got accepted into nursing school, i am so happy for him, what a difference he will make in that profession. he loves helping people and has a great heart. he will make a wonderful nurse, i'm not proud or nothing, huh. their lives together are starting out great, i couldn't be happier for them. can't wait for the grandkids. when its time, it will happen. i also got slapped with having to pay the jury costs from my recent malpractice suit. kick a dog when its down i guess, huh. also letter said if i dont pay the full amount of 3000.00 within 30 days, they will issue a summons. thankyou very much. sure let me go pick it off the money tree in the back yard, no problem!!! there is always something else, ready to bite you, right around the corner. oh well, what will be, will be i guess. i will handle it as i always do, so i can put it all behind me. it seems my new afo, is really helping my walking gait, i feel more confident with it i guess, thats a good thing. i hope everyone here at strokenet has a good week with great improvements.

Hi Kimmie,

 

Glad you had a good week except for the surprise from the malpractice suit. There should have been something in your original contract with your attorneys that stated if you were going to get stuck paying costs whether you got a settlement or not. Our original contract with our attorneys says they get costs (which are well over $40K now and building daily until we go to trial in May), plus a percentage of settlement. I have been prepared all along that if we lose the case, we will have to pay the lawyers costs and court costs, so we are hoping and praying daily that the jury will rule in our favor. If that doesn't happen, it will take the last of the equity from our home to pay off that debt.

hey Kimmie:

 

It's good to know your walking is improving due to AFO, and your son's life is starting in great gear, that's so wonderful, I sure hope those 2 god news will outweigh your malpractice news.

Kimmie - great news about your kids! You just go ahead and be proud - that is what a Mom is supposed to do.

 

Glad the new AFO is working out for you. We are still trying to find just the right device for Denny.

 

Sorry about the bad news and the added cost. Maybe your attorney can work out some kind of discount or payment plan for you. Doesn't hurt to ask.
