Instead she relies on a few fans here and there.
I worry about our Grandmother more plus more recently. Ever since our grandad died, she has been all alone in that house; however, that is the way she prefers it. She still insists on complete independence, and that was fine for a while. She has truly made that house her own and I respect that. However, I’m starting to wonder whether or not other accommodations would be better for her. It’s a 2-story house plus it has a basement and that means she has to be going up and down stairs quite often. That worries me. She also insists on doing her own yard work, with a manual mower! Maybe she still has enough strength and balance left to deal with such things, however it is the lack of regular temperature control in her home that really worries me the most. In the summertime, she barely uses her air conditioning. Instead she relies on a few fans here and there. Using the air conditioning system would be far more effective, but I have to admit that even it is on the way out! She has an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker come out to repair it at least once a month, or so she says. I am seriously considering saving up the money to buy her a brand new central air conditioning unit. I don’t know if she would be able to ignore such kindness coming from her granddaughter. I think that she would be thankful and use it, or at least I hope she would!
