Elevator

A brand new building is where we live. Everything is new, less than 1 year completed. However, today we were stranded in our flat because the elevator didn't work. It was impossible to take Joan with me to the store. I went alone and then had to walk up 6 flights of stairs to get to our flat. There is no emergency number to call to get the elevator repaired on the weekend. If it had been an emergency for Joan, I could not have taken her to a hospital. I am not at all happy with that.

Miejsce, w którym mieszkamy to zupełnie nowy budynek. Wszystko jest nowe, oddane do użytku mniej niż 1 rok. Jednak dzisiaj utknęliśmy w naszym mieszkaniu, ponieważ winda nie działała. Nie dało się zabrać Joan do sklepu. Poszedłem sam, a potem musiałem pokonać 6 pięter schodów, aby dostać się do naszego mieszkania. Nie ma numeru alarmowego, pod który można zadzwonić, aby naprawić windę w weekend. Gdyby to był nagły wypadek Joan, nie mógłbym zabrać jej do szpitala. Wcale nie jestem z tego zadowolony.

Vivimos en un edificio nuevo. Todo es nuevo, con menos de un año de antigüedad. Sin embargo, hoy nos hemos quedado tirados en nuestro piso porque el ascensor no funcionaba. Era imposible llevar a Joan conmigo a la tienda. He ido solo y luego he tenido que subir 6 tramos de escaleras para llegar a nuestro piso. No hay ningún número de emergencia al que llamar para que reparen el ascensor durante el fin de semana. Si hubiera sido una emergencia para Joan, no habría podido llevarla al hospital. No estoy nada contento con eso.

    OMG!!!

    And, that's your primary reason for choosing that apt., isn't it?

    Yet another reason to get a hold of that landlord (and emphasize that; and the
    need for an elevator service # too).

    What a mess...so sorry to hear this. I HOPE things get rectified on this account, and others....

    P.S.

    And here, I thought your elevator picture was early 'Halloween horror' humor...!

    What if there’d been a fire? This is unacceptable.

    I also wanted to tell you to look into magnesium supplements. Again, the typical drugstore ones are not good, not well absorbed by the body. Check YouTube for videos by Dr. Carolyn Dean. She has a website, too. She explains why magnesium is important, why it’s lacking in our diet, and the differences between the various types of magnesium. I’ve been taking magnesium citrate for about a week. I just started sleeping through the night a couple days ago. The right magnesium could help Joan.

  4. Kwiat-The elevator was fixed early Monday morning. If a fire, we wouldn't use the elevator, I would carry her out myself. I will check out the video.
