Gas and Electric Appliances ???

I’m confused. As my sisters caregiver, I have to be careful and smart for her. I made a mistake of buying a new gas stove; now she can’t cook!

But, on FB, folks are saying even electric appliances are bad news. Heating pads, air scrubbers, electric counter oven? I’m so confused!!!

Thanksgiving is coming up. I bought two boxes of fake logs for fire ambiance. Nope!!! I had to return. I wasn’t thinking!!!

I’m converting my garage into her studio apartment. The washer/gas dryer/gas hot water are all located in garage but behind a door. Is that ok???

What else do I need to think about?

  1. Hi. Thank you for reaching out! Your sister is very fortunate to have someone so caring and thoughtful looking out for her. I’m curious—does she use supplemental oxygen? Is that part of why you’re concerned about the gas stove and other appliances? I’d also love to hear what you’ve been reading on Facebook about these devices. Maybe I can help clear things up! Wishing you and your sister all the best. John. community moderator.
