A friend of mine came visiting me yesterday, for the first time in years. As I know he has lately wallowed in gambling, been short of money. While we were talking, when he made as if to say something to me, I presumed that he might very well be about to borrowed me my money, so I forestalled him by saying "I have been in trouble for sometime. I'm so short of money that I can hardly even pay for the outstanding bill of the rent of my apartment."

Please someone help me with what I wrote above, and point out where the mistakes are, and please mend it to the proper way.
A friend of mine visited me yesterday, for the first time in years. I know he has lately been gambling quite a lot and been short of money. While we were talking, he made as if to say something to me, and I presumed that he might very well be about to borrow money from me, so I forestalled him by saying, "I have been in trouble for some time myself. I'm so short of money that I can hardly even pay the rent for my apartment."

While we were talking, he made out as if to say something to me and I presumed that he might be about to ask to borrow money from me. I stopped him short by saying, "I've been in trouble for some time, in fact, I'm so short of money I can hardly even pay the rent on my apartment."

@imsak,
You asked is your sentence understandable. I would like to add it is more than one sentence and yes if you came to the United States, I would understand what you wrote.
