Amputee life before and after...

~Furnace went Out~ :-(

Ive let the days slip by me again.. I'm getting so bad
at this...I will try to do better, its just that my life is
not the most active anymore that doesn't give me a
lot to write about...I guess my life is dull.. :-)

Although, Thursday night, my furnace quit. I went
out to the kitchen and it was like going outside! I
didn't pay attention as to how long it was off before
I realized it was bloody COLD! I could see my breath!
I called Carl, after I put on 2 sweaters and got a
blanket for over my stumps, and he came over...

Carl tried but hes not a furnace fixer.. He tried to
reach Joe (landlord) but he was in a meeting and
not reachable.. I called a local heating company,
named MANCHESTER, some woman came on the
phone, I told her what was wrong, that I was freezing,
and that I was in a wheelchair and this was NOT
good for me.. She politely told me . too bad, we cant
come over unless you get your landlords permission
for us to come over... ... I was SO mad.. I told her
Joe was unreachable and GUARANTEED her that
they would be paid, still no go.. She did NOT care
and refused to come for fear Joe would sue them.
WHAT A CROCK... I was furious....my blood pressure
went sky high I know it...

So, I called Carl again and he got in his truck and
went to where Joe was having a meeting.. Joe has
a cell but doesn't use it and no one knows the #..
sheesh.. why have it then.. So, Carl came over here
as soon as he got back, I told him what the woman
at Manchester said and he said "Don't worry, I
called another guy, hes on his way."

This guy and his wife came and in half an hour my
furnace was fixed and it was warm again.. It was
so cold in here the boys kept hiding to keep warm.
He did a good job and even changed the filter for
me. They offered me a baby kittie since they saw
my two and thought I needed another, till I told
them I have 7 outside too ! So, its fixed..I'm
warm and all is well..

So that was the excitement this week.. I guess
I do have some excitement :-) Penny made pastys
yesterday, 3 of them.. 2 are for my boy, hes coming
up tomorrow.. I ate one.. Penny is sure getting good
at making them.. :-) So, again my apologies for not
writing in awhile, but I'm ok, I'm still a most
GORGEOUS WEEBLE, keep well and God Bless..

Always, Lois ****

 "God Bless You", is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend"
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
until I write again.....

    That was a relief, Lois! I’m glad that Carl was there to offer some help and called someone to fix the furnace. Although your furnace is now running smoothly, it would be best to tell your landlord about the furnace break down. Maybe he can do some inspection and check if there are other problems in your heating system.

    I agree with Naoki. It’s important that you tell your landlord about it because it’s his/her responsibility to check if everything is running smoothly in your house. After all, you’re paying a reasonable price, so it’s not right for them, both your landlord and the local heating company to just ignore your complaints.

    It's great your furnace is fixed now. It's usually the dirt that causes any heating or cooling system to malfunction. Aside from that, lubrication and belt adjustment is also important. Have your furnace professionally serviced every time to keep it in shape.
