I was a little dishearted this morning when I started roaming around in my power chair and realized that I had slipped off one of the zip ties my brother had fastened around the control box mounted it to the chair itself. This meant that eventually I was going to lose the other zip tie and I would be back to holding the control box again and trying to get around. However, I was bouyed by the thought that Robert from ucat would be dropping by with the possibility of a solution to the problem. I really wasn't too concerned really even if Robert didn't have what I needed I can always go back to Carl and have him just zip tie the contraption again and this time just be very much more careful and how I treat my power chair control system. Today was cold and wet for this time of the year Well actually spring is like spring and that's what it's like this is. There is snow in some parts of the state quite a bit of it so I like to stay inside the whole day nothing to go out for actually I've got everything I need right now. I was so pleased that Melissa was able to get here about an hour and a half I had to schedule around 7:00 a.m. which I kind of requested because I wanted to make sure that I was done with my morning routine by the time that Robert got here. That was really not a problem because he was about an hour late anyway so it all worked out. It was nice however to get everything done by 8:30 a.m. I was done and ready for the day. I was a little concerned because I didn't really make that much of a poop and now I'm going into the long time two days before I can poop again. Such a weird life I live
Robert finally got here about 11:00 and went to work on my chair he brought with him three or four other control pieces only one of which actually fit my chair but that's okay all I need was one. Needs to be cleaned up a little bit and I can do that but what's best is that it's a solid fixture to the Rod that fixes it to the chair. I should be able to use this until the extinction of this particular chair. We did talk about the possibility of trying to find another elevator type chair like my chair is. Robert indicates those are rare birds at this point but he will certainly keep his eye open to see if one might show up if he does he will set it aside we'll figure out a way for me to get it. He just wants to be sure how wide to get it. I told him that the chair I'm in now is probably a little wider than I need and I think that's part of the problem for the pain in my left side my shoulder and my arm by having to pull myself up to Center myself it seems like a thousand times a day. I'm just happy now to have a really functional chair so I don't have to worry about too much. I'm still anxious about the battery but I seem to have enough power to do what I need to do right now I just got to keep an eye on the gauge and make sure I don't over text myself. The storms move out tonight though tomorrow the sun will be out but it'll still be quite chilly I don't know if I'm going out I need to run to the market to get some juice to get me through the weekend but aside from that I'm okay. I pulled all the beef off of the roast stuck at in the refrigerator so I have the roast chicken legs Frank, fixing for a salad so I'm really prepared. I still have sausages for beans and rice and I should be set for a while though I do like the cooking aspect no question about that …
