Yes, I do have a table fan and it is on full force. I also turned the furnace
fan on manual and it's running constantly. Keeping the air moving helps a lot.
My house temp. got up to 84, but it is not too bad, because the humidity is low.
Tomorrow, I will call my furnace peeps and cry "handicapped" to see how fast
they can fix it.:D

84!!! I would be a cooked noodle with the house being 84. I'm glad you have the table fan and turned the furnace fan on to help out. I hope that they can come out tomorrow to fix the a/c. If not, do you have a cooler that you can put ice in to keep near you so you can quickly cool yourself down if it gets too hot, especially at night when you are in bed. The ice in the cooler won't melt overnight and you can grab some to cool you down so you can safely get to your scooter. I know I would be lost without mine. Of course, with our temps over 100 degrees, a/c is a must. Hang in there and let us know how you are doing.:hug:

Another fatigue kind of day! I didn't sleep well last night due to pain. I know that some of the fatigue we get is due to not sleeping well at night. For some of us, our sleep is disrupted due to pain, medicines, bladder issues, etc. and sometimes getting a good night's sleep is challenging. The lack of quality sleep contributes to our fatigue.

Thanks Sally! Were you able to get the a/c guys out to work on your a/c?

Don't you just hate it when something goes wrong on a three day weekend??? One time when our AC was out I remembered something my Mom said that they did. She filled a big bowl up with ice, like a big mixing bowl. Then she placed the fan right behind it and aimed it right at herself. Now granted my husband didn't get the benefit that much but he knew I needed it more than him.
