Will it ever stop?




When it rains, it pours. I am currently in a torrential downpour. I started to have chest pain and trouble breathing, particularly when I am stressed, last Monday, and it has continued until today. I went to the doctor on Wednesday, and though I am not having a heart attack, I may have gallstones and need to have my gallbladder removed. Then, Thursday, my car died in the middle of an intersection. I had it towed and was told that the repairs for it are going to cost between $1000 and $1500. Since I needed a car, I rented one, with Kia's discount. On my way to church Sunday, I hit a pot-hole and bent the rim of the tire and the tire went flat on the rental. Add another $200 in repairs. Today, the mechanic called and said that he got the gas tank, etc. fixed but the engine light went on during the test drive and they did a diagnostic test and the oxygen sensor in the car went bad. Another $200-$500 in repairs. What else can go wrong? I don't know if I even want to ask that.

It may be that most of the problems with my car are covered under warranty (let's hope) though the mechanic said that the original malfunction was my fault and may not be covered under warranty. However, I have done some research online and found that this is a common problem with Kia's and have some literature to show Kia when I pick up my car (who knows when that will be?) It has been a rough week. If you could keep me in your prayers, it would be appreciated.
