5. I think she is stable enough now

But I worry about her having a mood change in the future that might make her vulnerable. I'm really far away and her damned sisters are unsupportive. I'm glad she told me because it means she trusts me and she said she told her shrink. But I hate knowing.

She went to go buy one last year and it cost $350.00 at a pawn shop. She was $50.00 short. I was relieved. She is on a fixed income. She hardly has any money. She was so sick last year she broke a rib coughing. Her physician was so cruel he only gave her a zpac for pneumonia with a broken rib. She had to seek treatment with another Dr who gave her a much stronger abx for a lot more days plus an Rx for pain. Her Medicare wouldn't pay for her pain meds. She had to sell all her gold bracelets. She had to fill the pain script 3 times. She had enough money left over to go spend $700.00 on a stupid handgun.

I pray in the future she will have need of the $$$ and have to sell it. That is my strongest hope. What is sad though is to hear her say how much peace and comfort the thought of having a way out gives her. My poor friend.
