My significant other went blind this week.
S/he's 55, and I'm older; and her/his livelihood and interests all depended on vision.

I'm a long-time DU'er, and this may be the first time I've posted anything very personal on DU – not my style. But this loss was very unexpected, and we are totally reeling.

We need to figure out so much, in so many areas of life. Among other things, s/he was self-employed, and although we do have savings, it's not enough to retire on; we need income.

If you have any suggestions, thoughts, etc., thank you. We live in a state where there's probably less help/support available than than in others.

Again, thanks

The snotty primitive is confused about the sex of his partner.

That's understandable, considering most DUmp women and males have succumbed to the Pat Riley level of androgyny.

When someone chooses that for a screen name, any hardship they encounter is music to my ears.

How low in the gutter do you have to be to choose "snot" for your name?

Maybe a rare case of DUmmie truth in advertising.

First suggestion: You need to figure out the sex of your significant other.

I guess we will have to "see" how this saga plays out. My gut is telling me that the patient (he/she/it or whatever) is self employed in a cash only business and is thus an unknown to the social security agency. And the IRS. And obamacare.

Did he/she ever file a tax return and pay self employment SS taxes? 

If not, your screwed..... you'll have to go out and get a job.  I hear that Walmart hires door greeters.

Maybe it's because they take turns being pitcher or catcher.

Sometimes the "he". Other times the "she".

It snot right for you to ask such a question.
