That's sweet of you. I don't like being dependent on my children. I forgot she asked me for gas money for Christmas. So I told her to fill up her tank with my debit card today and she didn't, just $11 worth. It's fair enough because she does errands for me and if she can to my appointments which I have to keep to an absolute minimum.

But the other daughter, craps out when I need most things. Last summer I went to the ER with the paramedics. $250 deductible for ambulance and $80 ER and I thought something else. So the older daughter I told her I hate to spend that to go to the ER. Well if I pay her $100 she would take me.

Thanks for listening. And caring. I meant to tell CottonBall and have held back from saying much. And it may not turn out to be as serious as I fear. But stuck. And in a lot of pain for much of the time.

I can't imagine ever charging my mom gas money but never took her much. She could still drive until the day she died.

I usually start feeling a little better after New Year's. I need to learn to quit putting everybody else's needs ahead of mine (habitual) and find other ways to get my needs met and people to help me.
