The
day is not been as miserable as I anticipated. Remember last The
vendor came and got my chair to repair leaving me with having to cope
in my backup chair which is less than desirable, but appreciated
totally appreciated. As I've noted in the past my chair is much too
large for me making it difficult for me to sit in the chair without
putting undue pressure on an already fragile but. But it's the only
game in town right now for me unless I want to go to my manual chair
and I just don't have the confidence to tool around in a manual chair
how long I don't know. I'm going on the assumption that my chair's
back tonight but we shall see.
You
may or may not remember that I acquired foot boxes from my friends at
what used to be UCAT, a great place to acquire used equipment for
disability survival. My brother Carl, had to install the foot boxes
on my chair and I was not sure how they would work since I don't have
any reason to be in my chair and less desperation is happening as
today is. But, I happily report that the foot boxes more or less work
more so than less. They're a little narrow causing some pinching in
my feet that's better than having my feet and myself fall out of the
chair. I don't remember if I planned for this event to happen on a
day when my home health person is here. But Joe was here this morning
and I was able to ask him to trade out a couple of older cushions I
have stockpiled, which he did son of a gun the cushion has been
working all day. At this moment, my butt is a little tired but not in
pain like I experienced last evening before going to bed, sitting in
this chair with the other cushion. So this cushion I'm using now
makes this chair actually usable even if they don't get my repaired
chair back tonight. However I must register my concern that this
chair is not very efficient which means that whether it's smaller
motors or batteries had a pretty much gone through their lifecycle
and really does not hold a charge or depletes a charge quickly. I
wanted to go have Office Depot work on my new tablet today but I'm
just a little intimidated by how quickly my battery seem to be
draining. I charge the batteries all night of course and they are
registering 100% full but by the time of midmorning and had only gone
around this apartment less than a 10th of a mile that my
energy status was at 75%. I just do not want to be stranded out on
the system somewhere. So I've elected to stay in the apartment today
and work on my assignment which is due tomorrow. It actually that's
what I've done a major part of the day is trying to draw the squares
cubes. I'm kind of getting it down but it's certainly not pretty by
any means like some of the other folks are handing in. That's okay,
I'm here just to have fun and learn and I'm doing both and I do
sometimes that's as much as one can ask for. I don't know what I'm
going to do tomorrow if I chair doesn't come tonight and I have to
take this chair into class. That would mean I would have to cancel
bookclub at least for me tomorrow afternoon. That's okay too because
were just watching the movie second part Charlottes Web…
