Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005May be out of touch a while
I might be out of touch for the next week or so depending on what the news is tomorrow morning. Our AC went out yesterday morning and the news is that we need a new condenser. We find out for sure in the morning about the time frame for getting one but were told that it would be Wednesday at the earliest if we go with the same thing we have now. But then we are being told about newer more energy efficient systems which would involve not only more money but more time till it would be here and installed. We were told next weekend at the earliest but I don't think the man realized next weekend is the 4th weekend. Of course I know next to nothing about central ac systems other than how to turn them on. Now I need a crash course on this new freon free stuff and variable speed air handlers. Oh boy! So -- Sounds like it's time for a quick vacation to a cooler climate or at least to a hotel with AC. Florida in summer is a rotten time for this to happen. I've spent the past two days sitting in my recliner chair sipping ice water with the paddle fans on high speed, wearing my ice vest. I'm keeping all the lights off and all machines off except for the tv I'm watching. Most of the time the house thermostat reads 84-85 but when we got back from dinner tonight it had shot up to 89. I've been trying to keep the doors and windows closed to keep the humidity out but we had to open them up tonight because it was cooler outside than in. I can only imagine what tomorrow will be like! Please keep me in your prayers that we can get something done quick! MS and no AC in FL don't go together at all! I''m doing ok till about 5:00 and then it really gets to me. Of course, I haven't been feeling well to begin with and been running a temp since last Monday anyway. Yesterday was bad with a 100 degree temp on top of the AC being out. Tomorrow I will hear a bit of news around 8-9 am and then decide where to go. If you don't hear back from me it means I'm skipping out. Well, figuratively speaking that is. Take care while I'm gone! Diane W I hope you get some relief soon, one way or another. I promise not to complain to my husband about being hot at night when the house is 72 degrees.

Take care while I'm gone! Diane W Well we quickly decided before our morning coffee to upgrade to a 12 SEER Carrier nunit and get the entire condenser but not the air handler at this time and not the new fancy system with the non-freon that costs more than my son's first year of college. They will be here at 10! Not jumping for joy cause it will make me too hot but very happy indeed. I wonder how long it will take to cool down the house? DianeW I do not blame you for skipping out Diane. An AC guy told me that pretty soon all new house ACs will cost way more but use far less ele. It seems the feds have passed a law to help the nation with the production of and the use of ele. We had to put 3 lbs of AC juice about a month ago and we have a slow leak somewhere in the system. I do not want to live in Houston with an AC that is not working well. I see on the weather that it is just as hot in the cooler states as it is here... Wow, fried yankeeee.

I know how this heat is if you don't run it. I feel for you and hope there is a quick solution to the problem.  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

Several years back our a/c died in July. Must have been in the late 90s, as I was still working at Shands at the time. Found it dead one night after work and working out. Had to wait a couple of days before the repairman could come. Oh! I remember, it was in 99, because I had my hysterectomy later that summer - ovaries went too and I had 3 weeks of menopause before starting hormones. LOL I remember telling my gyn I was *really* glad we'd just had the a/c fixed! Anyway, I've been there, with a busted a/c in FL in the heat of the summer. not fun. We spent our evenings at the library to keep the house as cool as possible. We got lucky though - it was either a small part or the whole system and it turned out to be the small $15 part. Unfortunately, it just died again with our tenant living there and this time it's a $1200 repair job. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Yikes! Menopause and NO AC together would have been a recipe for murder in my house! LOL I remember when I lived in Cincinnati after my college years and had no ac. I was murderous to those around me! Spent a lot of time at the pool with the kids and movies and such. Could muster getting out of the house Sat cause I was sick with a UTI and felt so bad. Did manage to have a long dinner at Denny's that night and then same on Sunday only change the restaurant. Well it's fixed now. Needed a new compresser but we changed the whole condenser because of it's age and the efficiency stuff. Around 2200. Should be it till we have to replace the handler. We will probably do that next spring. Then everything appliance wise in the house and the roof are under 2 years old. Not counting tv's and computers. DianeW
