COACH REPAIRS AND ONGOING PHYSICAL THERAPY

This has been the year of coach repairs.  Denis just put in a new central vac Dirt Devil and ordered a new vent hose to replace the cheap cloth one that was originally installed and has holes in it.  The new Dirt Devil has a Hepa filter and is supposed to run quieter with more suction.  We'll see.

Looks just like the old one

There's always a job to do, thankfully, Denis has the patience to get the job done

Yesterday my Splendide washer quit.  Today, Chris, from Chris' Appliance Repair, spent a few hours fixing it.  The circuit board was burnt out.  Getting the washer out of the cabinet is always a chore but Chris made it look easy.  If you need an authorized warranty repairman for your Splendide in the Yuma area, I would highly recommend Chris.  He checked all the wiring, hoses, drum and lint buildup.  He suggested we put in a house outlet for the electric plug because our plug show signs of extreme heat.  I know that plug gets mighty hot when I run the dryer so I think that is good advise.

With our continuing chiropractic treatments we're both feeling much better.  We love the infra-red heat therapy, electrical impulses and roller beds.  Tomorrow we're going to start massage therapy and bet that's going to feel wonderful.

When we were in Mexico, I wasn't able to call my dad for those two weeks.  It was nice to talk with him and, thankfully, time is irrelevant for him.  He uses a wheelchair all the time now because he's unstable, tires very quickly and the doctor's are afraid he may fall.  They say he sleeps a lot but still likes to participate in the afternoon activities, especially sing-a-longs.

Denis' mom is turning 87 this month.  She's doing great, still driving and tries to get to mass every morning.  What a change from a year and a half ago when she was in the hospital.  I love her zest for life.

That's all folks!  Thanks for stopping in.
