Don't Believe the Commercials
Seven weeks. Seven very long weeks.
Truly, not exactly a problem most of us think of as being earth shattering-this no microwave thing. But when you have no real hand power/abilities, it isn't easy.
Most people wouldn't think about some of the things that add wear and tear to their every day lives from this situation. Things such as:
I can't just pop my luke warm coffee in for 30 seconds. Now I have to pour it into a sauce pan, heat it on the stove and pour it back into the cup. All without breaking the cup, screaming "OW" from the pain from wrist to finger tips, freezing up and burning myself!
My twice daily "Chef Ramsey" imitation while warming Sunshine's meal now entails scrapping II into a small frying pan, stirring it up and then scrapping it back into her dish. Again, using my limited abilities without having to deal with the obvious pain.
Warming up tortillas in my warmer? Nope. Back to old school usage of my little pan.
Steve wanted to heat up soup for lunch the other day. He realized he would have to pur it into a sauce pan and then into his bowl. Evidently he didn't want it that bad. Because of my lack of abilities, my rule is: you use it, you clean up the stove/pan.
The ads on TV promoting our warranty company aren't really holding true! It took us two months to get them to give us an allowance for a new dishwasher. It's been seven weeks and counting on the microwave.
We've been waiting for the "escalation team" for two days to call us back to get them to do the right thing on the microwave!
Plus, I personally have spent over an hour on the phone repeating myself about the situation.
My favorite part? When they ask me to stay on the line and rate my satisfaction with their customer service!
