It is going to be one of
those technology weeks, I can just feel it now. I bet uncomfortably
cold all day in my apartment. The thermometer reads 68° which is not
one of my better temperatures for winter. I've complained twice. This
time the manager assured me that the system had just been turned on.
Did had some issues with the water (?) But now is fixed and soon will
be back to temperature. This made sense to be and I went back to my
apartment and tried to be productive. I chased down the dietitian
supposed to meet with and define a diet which will allow me to
combat pre-diabetes. I don't know if it'll do any good however
wouldn't bite something that would really help me lose weight. Three
or four hours after my initial inquiry as to heat I wandered into my
manager's office again, which by the way was a great deal warmer than
it was five first visited which led me to believe something is going
on positively, and said that I had lost a degree in the temperature.
She said this is just normal and it would take a while for the water
in the pipes, or whatever, to heat up. It's now been four hours pass
that time and still the same temperature. I'm wearing one of my
ponchos But didn't help much in my enjoyment of a Brad Pitt movie I
just watched. It had potential to could've been so much better. It
was science fiction however and usually any science fiction is better
than no science fiction.
Once again my wheelchair
is in need of repair. The switch on the footplate elevator is once
again broken. This means that my foot box will go down but not raise
up again and talk back in to the chair. Displease my feet extended to
a point that I really can't do anything that I have to be close to
something like wash dishes, shape my face, pump my arm bike. Was on
the commode this morning waiting for my suppository to work I had my
home health person drive my chair up to me where I can work with it
and I found it was the same switch that I'd broke two or three months
ago. This is not a good sign technology is against me. Not only is
this uncomfortable and dressing is a challenge this causes me to put
my weight on my rights) feel the pressure on my butt which is in
good. My home health person put on a pretty good bandage/second skin
on the hip this morning. This will help a little. I called my
wheelchair shop and really wanted to get in today. I did have a plan
that I was just go to show up and force them to work on the chair but
like a dummy I called and gave him a warning which they told me of
course they couldn't overcome my chair today but tomorrow yes. So I
have an appointment tomorrow at 9 AM. This'll cause some challenges
that hopefully I can get my chair operational by the new year. I
thought perhaps I can transfer into my backup chair but of course
that really is a no go because the footplate on that share does not
work as well. I really try not to take umbrage at these events but
the all our technology and the all directly affect me. I have to keep
reminding myself that the chair could be inoperable on a whole lot
different areas which would greatly affect my ability to get on with
my life. So I'm thankful that even though I'm in the technology storm
the technology does not seem to be operationally against me and
perhaps that's best
It's doing 9 PM when I can
justify hit the sack and reading for an hour. Have multiple blankets
on my bed one of which is sort of a space-age blanket that Dianne
gave me, Some toasty warm once I get into bed and get situated. I'm
just praying that my bed will not go after me. I'll just make sure I
have my cell phone in the fire department on fast dial
