  1. I don't know if you remember, but last year at 98K miles my engine started knocking, and it got "replaced" under the 100K mile warranty.  I don't know if it actually got replaced, or just fixed enough to get by.  Needless to say, 30K miles later and the engine blew up again.  No warning or lights came on, it just gave out in a huge rattling on the freeway until it turned off.  Dealership said its not covered, cause replacement engine is only covered up to the 100K miles.  Now I am stuck with  car note to a car I cant drive.  I might just let it go back on repo.  It Sux, engine should last longer than 30K miles.  Oil was clean when it broke, but the next day it was milky.  Don't know what to do.

  2. Six months out and It is still hard. I am still not getting the sleep I need, 3 hours a night at the most. I am still out on workers comp, but the benefits ran out. Apparently it is only for 2 years. I am still disabled as of last months appointment with my surgeon. I was getting by with the workers comp checks, but now I don't have an income at all.

    I miss my wife so much! The Holidays were the worst! I had her Birthday in October, our anniversary in November, Thanksgiving, Christmas, my birthday, and the worst one of all and the hardest, was new years eve. I laid by her grave side for hours crying and talking to her on valentines day. I miss her so much still.

    I don't know what I am gonna do. Well, I am putting it in Gods hands first and foremost. Please keep me in your prayers! Thank You, and God Bless!

  3. I am making a Roadrunner emblem for the center. The standing roadrunner with the helmet and the words "Mopar Cross Road Runner" in a circle around it. I also have "M O P A R" to replace the "D O D G E" across the back of the tailgate between the lights. I know its a silly theme, but that's what I am going with.

  4. Had an awesome service for her. The hardest part was when they closed her casket and loaded her in the hearse and drove her off. Saturday was her Visitation in the morning and her service at 1pm. I stayed out all day until about midnight and watched the new mad max movie and fell asleep. Went to church this morning and it was really difficult to sit where we always sat and having an empty chair next to me. I stayed out all day again, and just got home to try to get some sleep. It still really hard and I miss her so bad!!!

  5. She is coming home Sunday morning at 8:30 with hospice transport. She is so tired and weak. She is trying to be strong like she used to be and fight this, but she can't and she can see that. It is so hard for her right now because she is still with it and knows whats going on with her. Today, my step daughterhad to tell her 4 year old son that his "Nernie" (Grandmother) was so sic that the Drs couldn't heal her but that Jesus could and that she would be going to heaven to be with Jesus. I bet that was the hardest thing she ever had to do. No one should ever have to do that. This is starting to wear on me more and more. I don't know how much longer I can hold up.

  6. She was pretty stable Tuesday morning that they let her go home. We lasted 10 hours there and I had to bring her back to the hospital where we waited in the ER from midnight until 8 pm Wednesday night. She was running a 102.5 temp and really drained and confused. The ER was the worst care I have ever seen. They didn't give her anything for the fever until Wednesday after noon. They didn't give her the antibiotic she needed all day and they did feed her thru her feed tube or flush her biliary drains all day and they got clogged and weren't draining which cause more infection. Horrible experience all together. They finally got us in a room and got her comfortable again but we have been waiting to hear from the Dr since we got back here. She did enjoy being home the little while she was there though.

  7. Thank you for this wonderful tribute to your Wife. It is almost word for word what I needed to hear. God has been in this for years now, I just never saw it. I had a great job with the county and it had great benefits as well. I got let go for a dumb reason ( close to being vested for life in the county after 10 years) and I got fired for not filing paper work 24 hours after and incident. Anyway, My step son was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma and I was off and was able to cash in my retirement and take the year off to be with him and take him to his chemo appointments and scans which lasted about a year. Just that alone was a blessing in disguise because I had worked the night shift for 10 years and my wife day shift. I only seen her on the weekends. This gave us the family time we had been missing. my son is in remission from his cancer and I got back to work Dec 2013 where I sold cars at a Dodge Chrysler Ram Jeep dealership. I worked there 3 months and got injured on the job and had to have hip and both knee surgeries. Needless to say, I have been off work and on workers comp since March 2014 because insurance takes too long to do surgeries (a year to do my right knee) and I have spent the last two years with my family and we have been managing pretty good with just my wife working.

    She was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer on June 30th this year. Drs had given her a year to live and after the surgery and some complications, she now has months. They let us come home to live out the rest of the days she has left to be with family after 51 days in the hospital. Again, I was off and able to be with her 24-7 at the hospital and now at home. She is and has always been a strong person and always did for others before herself. We were the Childrens Church pastors at our Church, and she was an Activity Director at an assisted living / alzhiemer's home. She lived to help others and that's who she was. She went from taking some vacations days to get some tests done at her Drs office to major surgery and cancer.

  8. Hello everyone, i hope this post find you well. On June 30th my wife was diagnosed with a terminal cancer. A routine biopsy of a benign cyst on her pancreas lead to finding a cancer had spread to her liver thruoght the bile ducts. After a Whipple procedure to reroute the ducts and adding three bilillary drains and two gall bladder drains her bilirubin count has remained high.

    The Drs have done all they can and are sending us home after 50 days at the hospital. She has been through a lot and has had many complications during her stay at the hospital. The Surgeon is sending her home to spend her last days with family. He said he expects her back because she will get worse and when she comes back they will start her on hospice care unless we do home hospice care.

    We are not ready for this. It all happened so fast! We just had a grand baby 2 months ago. We are in our early 40s and Wow, this happens. Tomorrow is bitter sweet, we get to finally go home but also the beginning of the end.

    I have been out of work on a work related injury for a year now, and she was the only income. Now she is only getting 60% of her income on short term disability. It's pretty rough and the bills keep coming in. Our church has set up a " youcaring.com" account but I could not link it here. I also have a PayPal account where we are taking donations. If you can please help out where you can. We need your Prayers and your Support! Thank you and God Bless you!

  9. I have entered many car shows with previous cars. It is exciting and a rush but no chance of winning. "Big pockets" car customization shop puts on a show and guess who wins all the trophies? Yep, mr Big pockets gets all the prizes. But that's just what losers say, lol.
