[QUAD-L] a freaky week

[Jkrocks]

I do not consider myself lucky anymore because if I was lucky I would not be stuck in a wheelchair.  However, I do consider myself fortunate for what I have and for what I am able to do with my disability.  I am not psychic and I do not believe in the psychic phenomenon but that might be changing.  The past few days have been quite out of the ordinary for me.   Last Saturday morning, I was watching a movie and thinking I should give my friend Tim a call because I have not talk to them for a couple of weeks.  Less than 1 minute later the phone rings and hear its Tim. I live out in the country and before my PCA's leave every night I always tell them to drive careful and watch for deer.  Monday night I told my PCA to drive careful but I forgot to tell her to watch for deer.  I remembered I forgot to tell her to watch for deer but she had already walked out the door. Approximately two minutes after she left, the phone rang and I heard my wife telling somebody that she would grab Steven, our son, and would be there in a couple of minutes.  When I heard my wife talking, I figured something happened to my PCA and she needed help.  My wife came into my bedroom and told me that my PCA had just hit a deer and they were going to give her hand.  That night, I'd dreamt that the township bought a street sweeper and was sweeping my road and so long into my driveway to sweep it also.  The next day, Tuesday, I went to my sisters to visit and when I came home and turned on to my road I almost crapped my pants.  The township swept my road but they did not sweep my driveway.  I have never heard or have seen the State, County or Township sweep a rual road just because it was dirty unless there was an accident and debris needed to be swept up.  Talk about deja vu and dreams coming true.   My transmission on my van was acting up so, I made an appointment to get it checked out for today with my local for dealer. I decided that I'd better take my morning PCA with me just in case something happened.  I explained what the transmission was doing to the technician and then we went for a ride.  I pulled out of the driveway and stopped at the stop sign and when I went to go the transmission broke.  We were able to limp around back to the dealership and get my van to the hoist.  I needed to get home somehow so the dealership called the local handicap service but they do not service the area where I live.  I called the handicap service from Duluth that I used before and they just so happened to have a driver on break.  He was able to come and pick me up within the half-hour which was really good since I was in a different city approximately 25 miles away.  Now, what are the chances that the transmission would break with the transmission technician in the vehicle and what are the chances that I would be able to get a ride home so quickly from an agency that was 25 miles away in a different city?  Maybe, just maybe, I might be getting some luck back.   Jim
