I suffered a construction injury at work at a construction site which I posted about. I am nervous because my medical bills are piling up and nobody is paying for anything right now. I saw the first one and it is scary. I have been out of work for a few weeks and I don't know whether I can return to my construction job any time soon. I don't know if I can be around construction at all and can't imagine where to go when I recover and what I can do based upon how I feel. Making things worse, my wife stays at home with a newborn and won't make much at work even if she could since she is a great but can't make enough money we need to pay the bills. I was that person. Making ends meet is tough and having a mortgage on the apartment we bought isn't making it any easier. Hospital bills are crazy. We got one collection notice and I have a bad feeling of more to come. I was told that they can't take your home if you declare bankruptcy but I am realistic. It seems easier than it probably is. What do people do? How do I read about people who used bankruptcy twice and still survive like that Olympic gynmnasts mother? I hope that I have a settlement in my case soon but don't know what people do until then.
