Im 37 and have 200k in HYS. I have a trad ira that isnt invested, I went to the bank a couple yrs ago to try to invest my trad IRA and the banker basically said it would be a "tax risk" so I left without taking any action.
I have money and no investments, what do I do? Should I go back and invest the trad ira in index funds?
Just feeling very alone in my grief right now and maybe posting here will help. My mom died in Jan, I had to make the extremely difficult decision to put her on comfort care (aka remove all life support until she died, which I have no rehret about). She was my only family. I suffered a serious injury in May that has taxed my already weakened mental/emotional state. I have an amazing partner (both parents alive and wonderful) and 2 friends that understand the loss of a parent but Im feeling so frustrated and alone right now.
I just wish I could call her and talk to her but I cant.
Everything reminds me of her and its a nice experience most of the time but right now it feels a bit tortuous.
I dont have a brother or sister or uncle or cousin Im all alone in my family. I just wish that I could call her
I had surgery to repair a full rupture 4 weeks ago and I transitioned from splint to an aircast boot at the 2 week post-op follow up appt.
My concern is that my heel has never touched the top of the heel wedge, with a solid 1.5- 2" gap. I believe this is due to my foot being in a fairly intense plantar flexion position but my instructions say Im supposed to start gradually removing wedge pieces and begin weight bearing now.
I messaged the Dr and he said to remove the bottom wedge as it was only there to keep the foot in plantar flexion but its hard to imagine removing a wedge piece and begin weight bearing if my heel doesnt even touch the top of the wedge.
Has anyone experienced this? Thank you in advance, this process is extremely nerve-wracking
From my 2 week post op appt discharge paperwork:
"⁃ Do not stretch against the boot; the only allowed motion right now is pushing down like pressing a gas
pedal
- Plan to stay in the boot for 4 weeks; then begin removing the heel lifts one at a time starting from the
bottom
⁃ Stay non-weight-bearing for a couple of weeks; when you start walking. wait until you are down a couple
levels of heel lift before doing major walking"
