Tuesday's test

 Finally! I've gotten my power chair back from the shop. It came about 4:00 this afternoon they did $3,000 worth of work on the machine which I still find hard to believe. I am of course not in the chair yet because there's just no way for me to switch into it unless someone else is here too help me get into my sling and then lift me up and move me over into the chair plus they got to take everything I'm sitting on now in this chair to put into the other chair. Since I'm not doing anything else tonight just hanging out I figured I'd just wait until tomorrow when Melissa can get me into the chair when she transfers me onto the shower chair to do my business in the shower. She can use that time to move the cushions over and move my chair out and then put me in my repair chair after the shower. From what I remember from tonight's news, tomorrow should be a fairly decent day surprisingly so maybe I can take it out for a spin. The delivery guy indicated that the chair is fully charged- - which totally surprised me - - so I'm ready to go. From what the work order indicated I've got two new motors on the chair plus they fixed my lighting system as well as my control box and a few other things. The motors of course for the big spend the items. Now the drawback I face is that they did such a great job and repairing the chair that my possible ability to get a new chair that's probably put off a year at least. It's the issue of having to deal with the insurance company. They're going to say they've dumped too much money into me already, which they probably already have I don't deny that but what can you do? You got to be able to get around.

I'm really counting on the old chair putting the rest a lot of the pain that I'm in recently. Everything from the foot box to the headrest seems to have been working against me little bit by little bit. I don't know what but I know that it wore a hole in my foot on one side but now I've got to work on getting healed Plus I think I've gotten some issues on my butt now that need to be considered. In the mornings when I wake up early and just lay in bed contemplating things I really thought my body was getting really taken over by wounds but once I get up the wounds don't seem so desperate so I don't call the wound place and I don't really know how to get that call going anyway but I probably need to have them more involved in my life than I do. I put a lot of that stress and weight on my caregiver who does such a great job with me but I think it's unfair cuz she really does only have limited information that she can guess what's wrong with me so she seems to be so much more informed. We'll see now what comes of the new old chair it is kind of exciting.
