It's never easy to come in and adjust and adapt to living with another family, even if it's your own daughter, son in law and grand-daughter. S-I-L and I had a big blowout about this; the engine light lit up on the control panel of my Honda Civic. I said I was gonna go to the dealership and have it fixed. S-I-L said you don't have to fix it etc. and said I could go to a local mechanic since I insisted I was gonna have it checked out and repaired. I'm not able to drive, but I want to maintain the car, and the owner's manual said if left unrepaired, could cause damage to the motor. Anyway, had it fixed and cost me $400.00 at the dealership. It was an oxygen sensor, somethiong to do with the emissions system. I can make my own decisions, thank you. Just because my legs don't work, doesn't mean my brain isn't functioning.
Other things have come up, but we're learning to adjust to each other, the entire family is melding together. I have never been closer to my daughters and g'daughter. I need them, and they need me, we have found. S-I-L has done many kind things for me, so we're learning to relent, forget and forgive, each other, warts and all.


Bye for now, love to everyone, susil
