We just fixed one last month when our water bill was $400. The plumber said he “hoped they fixed it”. Apparently not for long. The heating element on our dryer has gone out and mom has hurt her back and can’t walk or move around much. Aaaarrrggghhhh!!!! Just one full week of peace and quiet please.

I asked my med provider to take me off Lithium due to potential kidney damage and put me on something else and she refused. She said that since I’ve been on Lithium I’ve had no SI. Not only is that incorrect but it’s gone beyond that. I feel unheard. I guess I could just quit taking it on my own but I don’t like that idea.

Oh well. One thing at a time. I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

Oh Jennifer what a mess I hope that there can be a fix that actually fixes the water issue..

Often heating elements can be fixed rather cheap, not all of course it would depend on the brand. We had one die years ago and we found one on Facebook market place that was being sold because they were updating, 40.00 ! Works like a champ, doesnt match our washer but that isnt something that I care about.

It really sucks that your not being listened to about wanting to get off a medication that can indeed cause major health problems. Can you try again and maybe have documented info on the dangers of it? I dunno. I just hope that you can get some changes across the board and get a damn week that your not having to put out fires..

I am so happy you have lots of things planned with M !!! Enjoy every moment
