Well...so I still can't do much...and I am in a semi reclined position most of the time still. I managed yesterday to finally get hold of the Fridgidaire repair person. All new appliances and all four of them have "issues"...so I called Fridgidaire and we are getting new gallon jug shelfs for the door....new rubber feet for the cast iron grids on the stove....the repairman will fix whatever issue is going on with the vent on the dishwasher and install a new upper rack that already has rusty sprockets...and fix whatever caused there to be a haze inside the microwave door...
My other "fight" yesterday was with a computer company who shall remain nameless...unlike Fridgidaire who is doing everything to keep us happy...this comany...until threatened with legal action...was steadfastly refusing to replace a battery on a "refurbished" computer that they had sent us to replace a lemon. Now...we have had this replacement less than a year and in that time it has already required a hard drive replacement and a CD/DVD drive replacement...we then developed issuese with the power on the computer because it kept telling us to hook it up to a 65 W power supply cord...well...it was...and it was the one sent with the computer...thus it is our firm belief that the battery that the computer now tells us needs replacing was damaged by the faulty power supply....either that or the battery was just bad from the get go... What got me is that we had to buy a new warranty for this 'refurbished" computer....but they date the computer for battery replacement back to the date which we purchased the one they had to replace....definitely not ethical business practice and in my opinion borders on illegal...but not to worry...apparently I was "squeaky" enough and when I had to call back today to correct phone number information which I have corrected twice in the last year alone...the agent suddenly decided he could replace the battery at no charge to us....guess they got wise...because I wasn't going to back down....
However, we still probably won't buy anymore of this particular brand...though we had become very loyal to them for over the last 10 years...and that's pretty much all we own right now. Although....with the recent issues with what we have now, when we saw another branded laptop on sale...we bought it for Ian's graduation present this June.
Other than that, I have done very little at all. We went out Tuesday for a couple of hours and I was wiped. Came home and woke up the next day feeling pretty good, but by midday I was done in....Then last night I started having pain in my chest...yeah...time to call the dr...so since it's closing time for them...I will have to call them tomorrow...I was trying to figure out if it was a pulled muscle or if it is really a pain inside my chest....Unfortunately, I'm leaning toward the latter right now....so we will see what the dr has to say...
Until then.....time to chase DH to the grocery store to pick up the rest of dinner...lol...
