I'm always amazed at how quickly an
accident can happen or happens. I can see how get ripped off
literally in a factory or even in the garage working around
machine like wood turning lath. Remember a couple years ago when I
caught my arm in the grab bar in the shower and slowly slid off my
chair and how my home health person valiantly balanced me on my
shower chair, that I was sliding off , keeping the weight off my arm
so my arm to snap until the firemen got there and save the day. Well,
today I was in my shower chair which is a commode on wheels and I was
rolling over the toilet to the shower to begin my shower and my front
wheels caught either in a hold of file on the floor or the lip of the
shower can't remember which but whatever the situation, without
thinking, I leaned forward way to forward and in that instance
totally dove out of my chair onto the floor partially in the shower.
Fortunately, I went right into my tumbling mode and safely rolled to
the floor more shocked than anything else but totally pleased that
nothing seem to be broken skin horrible. Annette was in the kitchen
cleaning up. I pounded on the wall and got your attention. She came
in assess the situation and got right to work I was totally
impressed. Dianne and I talked about being able to get me off the
floor with our lift should I fall but thank goodness we never had to
employ the lift retrieve me off the floor. Very quickly, Annette and
myself were able to sling me up back in the chair. No foul no harm.we
were both totally pleased we did not have to contact the fire
department.
The clouds rolled in during the night.
and foreboding the morning was luckily I had nowhere to go nothing to
do but work on my computer. As I alluded to yesterday I'm glad to the
original to replace my hard drive but I always forget in doing so I
lose all my software on the hard drive. So either have to reenter the
software or download more which I was doing. Perhaps the most
challenging aspect I ended up with was reinstalling my Dragon Dictate
software. The software that allows me to do speech to text on the
computer. I always get nervous thinking that something is going to go
wrong especially since I have to enter him relatively long sequences
of letters and numbers. I just went to it though after I dug out my
software but it was still there is no box in this little air bubble
packing and the original sleeve with the password printed three
times! It still took me two hours to install Dragon. I'm not sure
exactly what I ended up doing. I entered the passwords at least three
separate times in the computer and only allow me to go so far and
then stopped responding. Finally, I set the project aside went down
to check my mail and came back and try to process again and for some
reason the system took the passwords entered and my data and loaded
itself onto a hard drive. I was ecstatic! Now, I'm a little
frustrated. The software I'm using is pretty good at least for me. It
is learned by speech patterns and a lot of my words. It is taken a
couple years for that to happen. Now however I'm working with a clean
slate and the system is refusing to accept a lot of my speech
patterns for now is going to be another couple years probably
teaching this new “brain” me. I guess I don't have worse
challenges…
