I think I might be a little psychic. I wrote the below message about 2
hours ago on my tablet so I can use the voice typing easier. Then I
forward it to my Facebook, then copy it to an email. But before I could
send it, I got stuck AGAIN. This time I was out front and I hit my
recline button, but when I let go, it kept reclining. Then none of the
buttons work. I was able to yell and get help, but nothing they could
do. I had to call the fire department so they could get me inside and
into bed. There's no way my reclining chair would fit around the
corners. But the fireman played around with the wires and it started
working. Thank God. I'd hate to be stuck in bed for who knows how long.
I'd have to get a prescription, send it to the repair place, get the
appointment, have them look at it, order parts, then schedule another
appointment to have it fixed. I hate dealing with insurance. Being that
you need a wheelchair you should just be able to go straight up there
without all that waiting.
This was my earlier message.
I was sitting out front today, I decided to put the smell set of weight
on my wrist. I had an iced coffee in one hand and I hit the recline
button with the other. But when I tried to hit the recline button to sit
back up my fingers got caught in the recline button cable. With a little
extra weight on my hand I was not able to get to the button. I tried to
use my other hand to hook on the armrest for leverage, but it slipped
off and my hand went to my shoulder with the coffee cup upside down.
Luckily I was able to knock the coffee cup off my hand and hook my arm
rest for better Leverage and got to my recline button. Lucky it didn't
take too long it's about a hundred degrees out and who knows how long I
would have laid there.
Got me thinking, I think I've been stuck like that or similar 3 times.
Been stuck in gravel many times but not like that. Once I was on my way
home and I tipped forward and couldn't sit back up. I laid with my head
in my lap until a bicyclist came by and helped me to sit up. Another
time would like today without the weights, but I was stuck I could reach
the button, and yelled until finally a neighbor heard me. I think the
worst one, was when I was going out the back door one wheel went over
the threshold the the bump made me fall forward, and I was jammed in the
doorway, it was about a hundred ten degrees out. I was there for so long
and got overheated. At least I've learned to always wear my chest strap
even when I'm home and families in the house. I just can't yell loud enough.
