Yes, the appointment did go well, thank you. I came straight home. Driving an hour (each way) on the freeway doesn't make me want to do anything or go anywhere except home. A friend is coming over in about an hour and we will have a cup of tea. I am not a coffee drinker.
I am not sure there will be any more mending with my son. I believe his wife is behind most of this. He has to live with her, not with me. Every other year we have always gone to them for Thanksgiving. No mention was made this year. Of course I am disappointed but not surprised. At my age don't know how much longer I will be here, although the doctor said I was very good for an old lady.

Regarding your son, @thisismarilynb, all families seem to have some dysfunction. Frequently we have to overlook areas where we do not agree and just dwell on the relationship. We go through that with my step-children. We never see them and they do not put themselves out at all to see us. This despite when my husband and his ex-wife divorced he had custody of his children and that was what the children wanted! I feel bad for my husband because I know it hurts him but thankfully our son and daughter are both very close to us.
I hope your son will call and invite you to Thanksgiving. We are going to my stepson's, it's the one time a year when we see him. It's been a couple of years since we last saw his daughter.
If you don't hear from your son I hope you have other friends or relatives who will want to include you in their celebration.
Hugs, JK

How wonderful you are able to drive and not depending on anyone,and your friend coming for tea☕️☕️🍰🍰
You are very capable driving for an hour each way👏Take yourself off to a garden centre today ,maybe your friend will go too.
Do not give too much energy on your son ,you are much too independent to need him.
Yesterday was positive..make today positive too,if only a little thing💖
