Getting things fixed

For the last few weeks I've been nearing a little chirping noise like a truck makes when it is backing up only the chirps are spread out over quite a bit of time. I just assumed it was a symptom of MS and I really wasn't hearing anything either that or the neighbors were doing something that made a noise. my wife figured out that the garage door opener as a backup battery and it needed replaced. The chirping was to let you know it was time to replace the battery. I'm glad I wasn't just hearing things that weren't there.
She looked it up online and ordered a replacement battery. When they came in she swapped it out. I guess my wife is turned into our handyman. We also had a fan switch in our ceiling fan break for the 2nd time. Her and Matt replace that yesterday. Thank you both.
Saturday night and Sunday night my breathing machine would not work. No matter what my wife did it kept alarming that there was something wrong with the airstream. Today she called the breathing person and she came out right away. She said they were having trouble with the mask I would using she brought a different one. Is about the same except is much more comfortable and as an extra strap to help hold it in place. She went back and looked it up to the machine. Matt drove me back because he was here at the same time. Even though the mask fit better still did not work. She took off the hepa filter and it worked fine. She looked at the filter and found that there was moisture in it and that moisture prevented air from going past. I guess we will have to keep a better eye on that filter. I thought they would last a month or so but this one would just 2 weeks. As always with MS "it is what it is". There doesn't seem to be a "should" that goes with this disease.
So I've been pretty well taken care of lately and it's nice to know that things around the house can get fixed without me. I try to stay out of it because I usually just distract whoever is working. This is really hard on me because I've been the fix a guy for so many years. Is strange to think that I just have to grow lazier!
