I was fortunate in that I was able to do the transfer from the bed to the power chair the broken it would not raise itself up, as I usually do, to act as a little book at the catch my feet and as I transfer from the bed to the chair. I had to make sure that I had the power tilted back a little more radical than usual so that when I did make the transfer my butt would sit into the Tilted chair and be less likely to fall out. I did have some issue with my legs making the transfer comfortably Comfort okay but they're a little spastic and the one foot jumped out of the box and I had to spend time coaxing it back onto the the foot box and they'll tell to myself back and then just sort of getting around the apartment until Melissa got here for my showers. I was able to make the coffee and perform my shave routine with very little problem except it was very awkward and very uncomfortable mainly trying to stay in the chair as I got these things done. As much as I dislike the backup chair I now figured it was time that I use the chair for what I got it for as a backup. We traded out the chair while I was in the shower and Melissa sent me back into the backup chair when we were done. Always feel strange to sit in this chair because it sets me straight up and down it's not worn out or worn to my body the way the other chair is. I also am somewhat intimidated by this chair because I don't trust its battery usage or the battery indicator. I don't know when it says I've got a hundred percent if that's 100% in real time or a bad battery time or whatever but all I know is that it seems to go down fast the charge. I didn't charge last night though I should have so whatever charge I started out with this morning after my shower was what was left on this chair after the last time it was used oh four or five months ago. Getting back in the chair driving around brings back all the problems that I've felt with it mainly the utilization batteries that I think might be past their Prime at the very least. They seem to go down very quickly. So I really am not confident of going somewhere and getting back without some kind of assistance. Case in point, tomorrow I supposedly have a meeting with the Riders group we're going to a different restaurant one further up or down Redwood Road. I just hope I have enough juice when I take off to get me across the street to catch the bus going south and getting off at the bus stop around 5400 South or 5600 South and then going to the penny Cafe and Back Again. I might even take a chargers with me to see about charging while we eat lunch. Even if we spent 2 hours yapping and enjoying each other's company that's hardly enough to charge the battery to a significant level. And who knows maybe that's all I'll need..
