Sorry to hear you're having a rough time.  Everything does seem to come at once, doesn't it?  

Good to hear that you DH is doing a little better, but it's a shame his doctor won't give him more medication.  The medical system now can sometimes be very frustrating.

Boy, I sure can commiserate with you about the price of sending flowers/plants!  They're so expensive now!  But when it's for people that you care about, you want to do as much as you can.  It's getting so sad at my age to lose so many that have been close.

I hope your cataract surgery works well, I think it would be so much help for you.  

Take care, and try to get some rest when you can.

I am sorry for all these challenges hitting you all at once.  
I hope your DH will be well soon!

And the loss of all these friends at one time must be surely make you feel very bad.  It sure would do that to me.

Of course, the cost of sending flowers has gotten to be very expensive - like everything else.  But you are good people to do so!  It means so much during times of sorrow to receive flowers or plants.

I know the cost of your procedure for your eyes is concerning you.  Thank heaven you have insurance.  If you do not have enough to pay when the time comes, is there a way that some manufacturers of the product have a program to help out people?  I do not know, but drug companies do.

Everything has gotten so expensive!  If you need to, could you take out a small loan?  I hate to see you worried about paying for your procedure.  Wish I could help.

Of course you are worn out.  Try to get your sleep and nap during the day.  Things will get better.

A Mother Teresa quote I like:

"God only gives troubles to those He trusts.  I wish He did not trust me so much,"

Lubs ya!!!

@PamfromCT @geezerette @cowboy sam @Yahooey @gloriajean . Good Morning. The other soap opera. DH recliner repair and the warranty claim. They approved purchase for replacement chair from the original furniture company. Big problem : they have gone out of business but wouldn't accept my word : because everything on line indicates still open.😯🙄 SIL went yesterday and took photos plus information on the reality company to verify closure. This morning called the warranty company. They sent email for me to reply with photos to be sent to the corporate office for review and consideration. Info sent. Please pray that they will expedite this and send us a check. So ready to have this finished.

Enjoy your weekend.🤗❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

@cowboy sam : My phone problem was solved in March. I deleted my text app and installed something different.

I went to electronic forum and reread everything and didn't see any new info but with my eyes could have missed something.🤗❤🙏🙏🙏

@cowboy sam @geezerette @PamfromCT @Yahooey @gloriajean . Good afternoon. I hate when stuff breaks. Bad eyes and trying to look for replacements. The Hamilton Beach Flex Brew coffee maker purchased in November: the Kcup  side has issues. Return date was 1/31/25 and didn't purchase extended warranty. Several people reported same problems with the replacement. We use the Dunkin  k cups and the top explodes clogging the needle. Daily having to remove the needle and clean.  Not easy for someone with balance issues and trying to stand up.My review just posted on Amazon and this is a problem for a lot of other people.Darn because I liked this and saved space on my coffee bar.Thankfully I had an Amazon gift card.A single serve keurig was marked down and will be delivered tomorrow.

DH 40 plus year old tv stand  making noise like ready to collapse. This is next to his recliner to hold his bipap  machine and lamp. Then DH stated he needed two cabinets or  whatever to hold his massive DVD collection because his stacks are falling over.  Spent the weekend measuring wall space etc. Looked all over the internet comparing everything. Found one 7 shelf  to hold 282 DVd on Amazon and DH gave me the money for that. Found on Wayfair smaller tv stand and cabinet with sliding wood doors for more dvds. Applied for Way fair charge card and received $4O off first order.DH will give me money for payments. Not looking forward to assembling 3 pieces of furniture. DH not good at this.

Hi Y'all. Praying that I made the best possible purchases.

@SouthernBee

So sorry for all these things going wrong!  sometimes it happens in batches!

Years back, we had ordered a table for our FR.  It has two drawers under the top and then an open shelf on the bottom.

We are pretty fussy about some things, and this table is surprisingly nice looking, sturdy, and did not break the bank.

Wayfare has some pretty nice stuff!

Hope everything turns around fast!  I have to have my coffee

first thing in the am, so a coffee maker broken would be a terrible emergency!

I am hoping all the best for you, honey!

Lubs ya!

@PamfromCT : Thank you. In 2015 we purchased two small DVD cabinets  with solid  sliding doors from Wayfair.They still look new and very sturdy but no longer available. The coffee pot and DVD cabinet from Amazon will be delivered tomorrow from Amazon driver. So hopefully will be able to assemble that cabinet before the Wayfair items are delivered. I looked at a lot of  items and read the reviews. Not easy with bad eyes.
