Today's the first day
since my chair motor died that I've been able start putting together
some sort of repair plan. It's a little frustrating having to visit
with these folks that was supposed to get back with me last week
that didn't just as the week was ending which I think would make so
much difference in how things
unfold i.e. me ordering the motor with a cut harness. I sort of found
this out this morning that the motors basically unusable. Luckily the
price on the motor was $19 and the shipping is 48 so altogether it
was almost 60 bucks for a little over 60. Lessons learned from eBay.
So I think what I'm going to do is go through Create for the $250
tuneup plan which well replace the motor and tighten up the rest of
the machine which will be good for me. In the meantime I've got use
of the “backup chair” which is a little challenging the use but
I'm getting by. I have to watch the power supply vigilantly but it is
getting me around and I can do the basics of my life. I can do the
laundry, meal prep retiring and rising and there is not much more. I
am a little concerned about trips and Assist.Inc. But again if I
carry a charger with me perhaps I ccan get back and forth without
issue. The challenge I have now been is to get my chair into Create
and back again.. I did this with Tom this morning who feels that he
can pick my chair of on Wednesday which I guess is okay I need to be
more patient.
The
next item on my agenda is getting my van into service. I spoke to my
cousin this morning and can send the guy out soon to look at my van
and what's leaking profusely. Then have whatever it needs to be fixed
fixed. I spoke with Dianne at some length this morning in every
switching over joint ownership to just single ownership and all
responsibilities and to get specific reassurances and upkeep. It was
good to hear her voice. Dianne was able to explain to me the status
of our financial issues which greatly relieved my mind and what I
have to work with financially and looks like I'm okay which is very
exciting. A lot of us are close and disappeared which means I
should go and buy some new clothes which we very cool. I would like
to get shorts and T-shirts that would be comfortable and
appropriate. I would like to see if I can find my old clothes but it
doesn't look like that's going to happen. I might even consider
purchasing a new laptop that would better meet my needs and would
be more functional..
So,
I have a pretty big agenda for this week. I have a couple meetings to
go to out in the community and I need to get these other issues
attended to mainly insurance in my name and the registration changed
to my name would seem somewhat daunting. Major research on my part
and hopefully be able to find the documentation I need. So I need
to get going one step at a time But with any journey starts with one
step and looks like I'm about to start another journey.
