Remotely challenged

 I know I've talked about not having my hands a million times and how much easier it would be if I just had access to total control of my hands but that's just not a reality. Nothing brings this to my mind more than being caught in a situation that I definitely need fine motor or at least finer motor control that I have. The case in point tonight I was watching one of the Marvel movies actually killing time until the Jazz game started. I'm of course sitting in my chair and I have the remote balanced on my leg as I usually do I did something though and felt the remote slide off my leg and I heard a crash, a small crash, of the remote bursting apart. Mind you this remote is what controls the three channels I use the most Disney plus, Amazon Prime, and another I can't remember right off but they're all movie channels and I had a movie channel on and I realized that I didn't have a way to switch around channels anymore. I have another remote that I have that is more heavy duty and allows me to just do the basics as far as operating with the cable channels but it doesn't allow me these other specialty streaming type channels kind of freaked me out. So the only recourse try to put the remote back together again. I first had to gather all the Parts together which I was able to do then with the help of my dustpan I was able to push them all together onto the dustpan and on to the bed that I used as my construction point there must have been like six pieces three more itself burst apart top and bottom two batteries escaped plus the rubber touch pads that goes in the holes of the top of the device and all the other parts that seem to go along with it it took me a lot longer than I anticipated but eventually was able to put the piece all the things together again put him inside the respective halves and then even put the batteries in once I got them in the container then to my disbelief I was able to snap the whole thing back together again press the top to the bottom and the plastic container clicked and it was whole again and even better the device actually worked. It actually fixed something myself which I hardly ever am able to do.

 I still have to now a figure out where I can get a replacement remote if and when I dropped the remote again and not be able to pass it back together. I'm sure it'll take some calling around and maybe even going to a few places where they sell remotes taking my remote with me to get as a replacement. For the time being however I'm going to take the hell out of the remote and hopefully I can keep the tape off of the buttons that I need to drive it with
