DITL: No Family Day For Us, Car Troubles & Dialysis Discussion

[@livinglearninglife9174]

Sounds like the vehicle has a sensor that is going bad maybe, I had a 96 neon that had speedometer issues...not good not knowing how fast you are going especially when you have to go into town areas that are more patrolled. Having reliable transportation and funds for gasoline is a must have in getting the proper help with your heath needs. I hope that you get some help from the people that you have reached out to. Government just don't know what it's like to live like regular people that have to live paycheck to paycheck.

We had the same issue on our way to dialysis today. We'll have to take it in to get it checked although I think it has something to do with the sensors as well. We haven't had 4WD since last Winter because of other sensors/issues. Not very fun when you have to drive up a mountain. There are times that we think the engine might blow from working so hard! I'm hoping that reaching out to the politicians in our area will help as well. You are so right, they don't have a clue how hard it is or how important these treatments and appointments are for a dialysis who's active on the transplant list for a double transplant. I'm hoping that I can open some eyes with my complaint.

That is crazy they are only giving you that.What makes me sick is they will give a heroine addict disability and coverage why??I really don't understand it your trying to keep yourself alive and they help people like that!Or if your not Canadian you would be handed everything under the sun!The family day is a joke not everybody gets it,Bruce don't get it.They need to realize every day is family day not just one day a year!You take care and i hope they can figure out the car i don't want to see you guys going 160 down that mountain lol

CHICKENS BY THE LAKE Thanks 😊 Thankfully the car isn't going that fast or I'd be walking! You're right, every day is Family Day. Who needs a dedicated day for it? I feel the same way about many people receiving help. Many people around here take advantage of the system & can afford a vehicle when I can barely put more than a ¼ tank of gas in my MIL's vehicle, not ours, THE MOTHER IN-LAWS! They even know that it's NOT our vehicle & that I'm active on the transplant list. They just don't seem to care which is why I've taken my issue to the highest government that I can in our area. If that doesn't work, I'll be going to the PM of Canada! Hopefully, it'll get me somewhere.
