. . . With which to deal. (1) what seems to possibly be a botched back surgery last month (no work for a good while due to what started as being hurt there how long ago);
(2) car seemed to have tranny problem, then someone who said they knew what they were doing "fixed" it, but it's now wanting to only go in reverse;
(3) all that's wrong is not good for one's $$$ (esp when you've not much ~~ have even helped here, but can't do a lot) has her distraught/worried; and finally, dealing w/such things made it hard for 14-yo daughter, too, who just went to stay w/her dad . . . We know that's going to be/is hard on her; that's her "baby."
(4) Has to move to a 1-br now, w/o her dau (not physically up to that, either). So . . .
(5) Pray she does nothing drastic, please . . . . 😞

One thing is being taken care of in a couple of days finally. We learned a cousin's son fixes vehicles, so one that he has fixed up is going to be delivered to her about Monday or Tuesday. 'Been a long month for her. Still are other things to deal with, but it does help to have some wheels to be able to do what you need to do.

Now amidst dealing with botched surgery, having to move (after dau. moved out) while still amidst the usual disability appeal (rarely granted the first go 'round), HUD is saying any 1-br she finds MUST be one w/utilities included. That's a very unusual thing to find anywhere (experience tells me)!! So, the poor in-pain gal's stressing, & I really can't blame her!
Another option she asked then about was sharing expenses w)a couple of other ppl (who themselves suggested it).
Oh, no. You can't do that!! Someone might help you a few $$$ w/your share!! They'd rather pay the higher cost of the forced-living-alone that they're good at imposing. They, "social" workers ~~ whose very training for the job would teach them it's NOT a good thing to live in isolation, IMPOSE this type of living on countless ppl. AND I might add at a much higher cost to taxpayers. "We can't figure a formula for sharing (or they simply won't) so, NO, you cannot even THINK of anything other than living ALONE unless/until you're UNABLE to do so." Or, perhaps their hands are tied by weird-law-making politicians who've plenty, live as they want, etc, so don't give ONE THOUGHT to what they're really doing to people w/this FORCED isolation???
WHATEVER, rant over, but she definitely needs prayer (too bad she's been an hour away from here most of her life w/all her connections there ~~ not to mention her current helpers, docs, disability atty, etc ~~ or she could more easily just move up here rather than stressing re housing+). In winter here, you just don't repeatedly drive the roads here long distances.
Just to add a bit re that isolation, tho' some are very difficult to live with, don't think I've ever been heard to say I prefer living alone. Have NEVER liked it, tho' I've put UP w/it when forced to or found it preferable to living in someone else's domicile (a much different "animal" than what equals, sharing w/no one "running" the other's life is all about).

Have to add more to this, sadly:
(1) That vehicle still has problems, after all (was delivered Thursday afternoon and then Friday, after registering it, didn't get very far down the road and problem started).
(2) The kid who was supposed to have it shipshape for her doesn't answer his phone. Seems it might be more a problem of carelessness rather well, then deliberately ignoring some things, yet that still doesn't help the problem.
(3) Finally. she is back IN HOSPITAL again. It's about this recent back surgery. that we're beginning to think may have really been botched. Feel so badly for her.
