Visiting her grandmother was the highlight of Alison’s Summer each year since he was a baby.
She did not stop this tradition even as an adult, as she still kept visiting whenever possible, even though she was at the helm of managing a busy real estate firm in another city.
Her grandmother was consistently waiting for her with open arms during each visit. However, last year was the first time she wasn’t sitting outside waiting for Alison. When her granddaughter pulled up at the driveway, she got sad seeing the empty poach seat, and after letting herself in, she found the grandmother in bed because she had an excruciating painful sore throat. Alison also noticed that the home was frigid because the A/C was turned up. She quickly rushed to the thermostat to turn it down plus started tending to her grandmother. It was in the middle of summer, so grandma wanted cooler air from the heating & air conditioning system. But, by decreasing the output, she had put her health at risk. The cool air from the powerful A/C machine had caused her to catch a cold plus get a sore throat. Her grandmother was shocked that the a/c could cause her to fall ill. Alison drove her grandmother to the dentist plus explained what had happened with the cooling unit. The dentist advocated for her grandmother to avoid cranking up the smart AC, especially at night. It was better to endure a little heat than to constantly have frequent infections. The heating & air conditioning system was producing too much dry air that would continue to harm her health. Additionally, he insisted they get a heating & air conditioning expert to check the machine plus do proper service as a preventive measure. At times, dirt tapped in the air filter would contribute to sore throats. The best way to prevent this in the future was to have the filters cleaned properly.
