But now that I got my cell phone and Bluetooth, Im exploring my whole neighborhood. I found an unknown path that wound its way around these new housing developments. Beautifully landscaped, next to a golf course, about ¾ of mile long. But then it just ended. There was a dirt/gravel path that went left. Heading towards a main street. It had about an inch lip and went down hill. I knew going down would be fine, but if the trail did not go through, could I get back over it. I didnt try. Next day I tried finding the path from the other side. I did. After going about 75 feet down, the dirt path gave way and I slide sideways into a mud hole. I didnt move far, just enough to sink about 6 inches. No way of driving out. I waited a bit, called out a bit. Knowing I was too stuck to call for my attendant to get me out, I broke down and called 911 (Im going to add just the non emergency police number now). Just as I was giving directions, a truck with landscapers shows up and gets me out. I guess going down a soft dirt paths with mud on the edges, isnt a real smart thing to do. I keep thinking, What if no phone, what if no landscapersThats the 2nd time I had to call for help. First was when I was driving down a sidewalk, hit a piece of gravel, that made my hand come off the control and my chair stopped immediately. My momentum made me fall forward No chest strap. I was to far forward to reach the control or recline switch. I had to call home for help.Thanks for cell phones Greg
I hit a hole in my backyard and was thrown forward. My head was between my
knees, I couldn't breathe, and it was in the 90's. I could neither yell nor
get up. After about 15 min of gasping and burning, I was rescued by my wife
who saw me out the window. Another 5 min and I would have been a goner. Now
I always wear a chest strap when I'm outside.
