The DU Lounge
In reply to the discussion: I'm feeling pretty depressed [View all]Hi mvd, I am new to posting but a longtime reader of DU threads, including yours. I once visited one of your Gofundme appeals and learned your full name. Knowing that, I was able to find your dad's obituary (I am so very sorry his illness took his life). From there I learned your address and discovered there is an urgent care clinic 1.7 miles (5 minutes' drive) from your home. It closes at 9 PM. I assume they would send her on to the hospital's ER, 3 miles further, if necessary.
Perhaps a neighbor would be so kind as to run your mom over to the cliinic? I do not know where your aunt and uncle and cousins (mentioned in the obituary) live, but maybe one of them would make a quick trip to help your mom.
Or perhaps your mom knows perfectly well there is an urgent care clinic nearby and doesn't think she needs to go? After all, you yourself just mentioned her injury as an afterthought, a day and-a-half after you started this thread and considerably later than detailed posts about real estate agents, Youtube TV, etc.
BTW, my budget does not accommodate cable, Hulu. or Youtube TV, but I am enjoying the selections offered for free on freevee, tubi, pluto, etc. Maybe they don't cover everything, but I really can use the $90/mo that Hulu charges for other things, like food and transportation.
I am glad to read you are determined not to ask for money any more. I hope I am mistaken, but you seem to be hinting that someone should offer without being asked, August being a 5-week Social Security month and all. As I said, I hope not! Good luck!
