I think the dealer settled with insurance for about $13,000 on my chair.
Fortunately, I owe nothing on it. This is because I met my maximum out of
pocket limit through a hospital stay back in September. I get so sick and tired
of this I would like to drive off a cliff. It seems there is a new ailment,
breakdown, ungodly expense, family issue, everyday. And the health issues are
NEVER small. They always life-threatening for both my wife and me. I am having
spasms in my legs and stomach right now so bad I struggle to write this. It
seems so damn pointless. Suffer today, suffer tomorrow, next week, next
month,next year, until theLordfinally has some mercy and releases me from this
misery. Ok, I'm done. God bless you guys for listening..and for
understanding. Larry
