View Full Version : Dead Navigator + toothache = A surpisingly giddy mom?

I've had a day from hell. Spent the majority of my day in the dental chair (I loathe going to the dentist and have to take meds just to not have a panic attack in the chair-- sorry to any of you dentist's out there, you are great people but I've had some downright cruel experiences). Anyway, spent all morning in the dental chair only to end up with a toothache tonight that I didn't have before going to see the dentist. Then I get a frantic call from Sam, who is with her dad, saying the Navigator won't work after changing batteries. They thought maybe the batteries were old so bought brand new ones at the store ... still no worky. Crap. So I figured great now I;m going to have to find time tomorrow to call Abbott and get them to either troubleshoot over the phone or ship a new one. I know there's a good chance I'll find myself back at the dentist tomorrow and How was I going to handle this Navigator issue with Sam at her dad's and me in the dental chair.

Sam calls back around 10:30 ... get this ... her dad called Abbott!!!:eek: Holy crap! This is like a monumental break through. I can't believe he just decided to call himself. I did a little happy dance!! I am always the one who does everything regarding D because if I don't it will never happen, but out of the blue he just took care of it!! They are going to try to have a new one to us by tomorrow, but more likely Monday. My day kinda sucked (not in the tragic life ending suck sort of way, but in the "can this day please end yet" sort of way) but suddenly it isn't seeming so bad. I think I'm going to go write this day on my calendar!!!

Are they sending a new transmitter or receiver?

I'm not sure since I didn't actually talk to the people, her dad did. But my guess is that they are sending us a whole new system. I may be wrong and they may just send a receiver (that seems to be the part that had lost its mind). But if they send a whole new system I am just going to swap everything out.
