I hope someone finds "Ashley Judd: Grief, Love and Naomi" - Anderson Cooper Podcast helpful; it is for me...

decades of mourning feel lifted, and I am not of any religion any longer so those are not the reasons. Her struggle and her recognition of how to recognize and deal with loss trauma was what I identified with.

Continuing to move FORWARD! The rheumatologist is holding off on the cordisone shots till eye pressure comes down. Starting me on a mild medication for rheumatoid arthritis. Holding off on biopsy. Soooooo, today I took my car in. Waiting to see what damage $$$$$$ that will cost me. Always something isn't it? I was getting a ride back home so I was told to go to the gray car. I opened the door and the guy says "No sweetheart, not this car!!!!!" We both laughed and I went searching for the guy and car that was taking me home.

Cadee @Cadee27129, Your car story made me smile because I've done that before! Fortunately for both of us the guy who was in the car was nice. 😊

Good luck with your new medication and your car!

Hey Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 . Yes I am doing well. I guess I packed a lot in my schedule this week and it looks like I did the same for next week. I'm not stressing so it's ok. Thanks for checking on me!

It's unfortunate, but when someone tells me they luv me, how can I trust them? I have been burned so many times. I've lost so many people in my life, I don't know where to begin with that, sadly. Who can I turn to for good guidance and support? I don't think I can get this here, maybe some suggestions outside of this AARP forum on this? Thanks!

Kelly, it was suggested to me a long time ago to take what people say at face value. If things prove otherwise I can always change my mind later. It was also suggested not to stand under a tree with birds. Birds flock together. We can't always be in flocks we find comfort and understanding. You probably know by now the signs of unhealthy living. It will give you guidelines for moving forward. There are many good, and very fine people in this world.

Have a PEACEFUL day!!!

Thank You Nicole. I am "trying" to stay positive and be patient. There is very little I can do about it. Each time they call me, the PRICE GOES UP!

[response] MC , how are you doing? 🤔

Hi Nicole. I think they were just taking advantage of me. Yes, they were VERY busy but I MADE an appointment for my car. The service person kept saying it was the gas TANK and they had to put smoke in it to detect the leak $402 (but didn't do it), then the part was backordered, then they broke the clip on the tank and had to order it from Chicago $452. So on the morning of my doctor's appointment they call me at 7:30 and say the car will be ready at 9. My doctor's appointment is at 10!! When I picked up the car and saw the paperwork IT WAS NOT THE GAS TANK, it was the Fuel pump which they replaced???? Cost a fortune, $1,576.96. I am so glad that I will NEVER have to return to this dealer ever again. They kept my car a week to repair a fuel pump???? Made it to my appointment and the doctor said he would electronically send my records to the new doctor I find in Idaho. Today is the eye doctor and believe it or not the Rheumatologist ordered MORE blood to be drawn before my next appointment. I am taking the new medication, no changes yet. February 1stI go to my diabetic doctor and I AM DONE WITH ALL THE DOCTORS. Doing minor repairs on the house and calling the listing agent. My son flew to Idaho this morning. The moving truck is arriving today with his furniture. SOON I hope to be out of here. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your precious daughter. ♥️ Thank You for caring.
