He also brought paperwork for us to sign
I knew I had a heart condition, but it had never bothered me like it was this summer. Every time I went out in the heat, I couldn’t breathe. My heart would start racing and it was all I could do to get air into my lungs. My feet swelled, and I worried that I wasn’t going to be able to walk. My cardiologist warned me this could happen, but I had never experienced it before. When I told my husband about the doctor’s visit, he told me he had to get our air conditioning unit fixed. He didn’t want the AC unit to quit working and he would come home to find me lying on the floor. I laughed at his humor, but I knew he was serious. He worried so much about me, that he didn’t need to think my having a heart attack was his fault. We had been putting off having a new air conditioning unit installed for almost a year now. We couldn’t afford to put out that kind of money. Now that I was reacting to the heat and humidity in this way, he thought it was prudent to act more quickly. He called the HvAC company who had an air conditioning specialist at the house within a couple hours. He had all the information we needed for a new air conditioning unit. He also brought paperwork for us to sign. He said their company offered no interest, in-house financing for their long-standing customers. All we had to do was fill out the paperwork, and we could make payments for as much as two years. The following week, we had a new air conditioning unit installed.
