Holiday stress

I'm really not trying to be paranoid but I think electronics are out to get me. For one reason or another I don't know but my power wheelchair, the backup chair, has all the sudden began to malfunction. Luckily it's not where those malfunctions where it just stops going and becomes a piece of rock or something like a 300 lb Rock but what is happening is that the electronics seem to be somewhat messed up and it keeps flashing weird signs on my driving mechanism and throwing me out of various functions for example my Forward Motion function becomes somewhat invisible as well as the chair placement modality whether I'm at a tilt or raising up and down are raising my foot pedals Etc. I think the functions are all there but they're being masked by these signs that flash up and cover everything on the viewing screens with my drive mechanism. So I can actually drive the chair but it's a hit and miss proposition trying to get the computer on a chair in the right position so the chair will either drive forward backwards are well rise up and down. It's very frustrating and I would really be frightened especially since this is a holiday weekend of course which means there's nobody that can pay attention to me. The only bright spot is that remember yesterday they picked up my chair- - that's the reason I'm in this chair- - and they will be bringing it back this evening sometime between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. which really doesn't do me a whole lot of good right now until I can get myself transferred back into the chair which is a whole nother trauma sense tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I would have to find somebody IE family or someone else who could operate the lift to transfer me out of this chair move this cushion and stuff over to the repair chair and so forth. It's all doable but it's going to take some fast talking and some real sacrifice of folks too interrupt their holiday enjoyments to help out the poor guy in the chair. And did I say I was going to do all the food prep for the holiday tomorrow today. Well that's not really getting done and the apartment is a mess hopefully the grandkids will look past this since they're basically doing this Thanksgiving dinner event for me anyway so maybe it's just as well still kind of frustrating. I'm just holding my breath that everything works out all right and my regular chair comes back as promised .

A bit of an update it just so happens soon after I finished this morning's blog I got a call that my chair was being delivered in a few hours. That's great because my regular chair was really going cuckoo I could barely get it to engage so I could drive the chair. That part of the problem finally settle down and my chair did arrive but now I have no way to get into it because I have to get the cushion I'm sitting on into that chair and then have somebody lift me up in my sling lift to set me down in that chair. Maybe I can get my grandkids to do it tomorrow if they show up for Thanksgiving. As for that that's a whole nother posting. I've just got to stop getting myself into these volunteer situations that I can't pull off anymore and actually maybe I never could pull them off in the first place without a lot of help from people around me that I never really thought through. I had two things to make green bean casserole and the dressing and as of tonight very late I have the dressing made it's not very pretty and my apartment looks like a bomb went off. Maybe the kids will just drop the food off and leave I don't know what their plans are and I can't get a hold of anybody. I think I was happy when I just had this do myself the holiday all by myself. I really must be broken...
