Today is our last day of Home Hemo remedial training, but our machine still didn’t come in. It seems that instead of the new digital machine that we’re supposed to get, they could only let us have a new (old technology) analog machine. No one seemed to know exactly when the new machine was due, and our nurse Rita was having fits with the company that was supposed to be sending it, no one could tell them where it was and when we could expect it. We decided to give them one more day before accepting the analog machine, as the digital ones are so much nicer, and much quieter, too, it seemed to me. After we left there, we ran home and hooked up the Open Range in order to take it to a nearby dealer. I had had a conversation with them and confirmed that they took consignments, but when we got there, he looked it over and offered us LESS THAN THE WHOLESALE PRICE for it, then he was going to skim $2000 off the top of whatever price they got for it! Are you kidding me??? If I wanted to sell it for half it’s value, I could do that one my own without giving him two grand! Ridiculous! We had already unhooked it, and it was getting really late, so I told him I had to think about it (frankly, I was so astonished I was speechless, which is saying something!) He agreed to let us leave it overnight and let him know in the morning. I just didn’t even know how to respond to that. We headed home in a state of shock, but I was too tired to worry about it. We got home and settled down for the evening, but I suspect I won’t be getting much sleep tonight!
