Adjustable bed headaches

I'm kind of freaked out. When I was getting up this morning I was raising the top part of my bed and anticipation to make the transfer from my bed to my power chair, as I do every morning. The function that rises the head of my bed up it's fairly valuable to me cuz it allows me to push myself forward far enough to actually make the transfer into my chair easier than if I was trying to do it from laying flat on my back and trying to do the same lift this of course is with a conjunction with my trapeze. This morning when I was going through the process I heard a large crack and I wasn't sure what it was but I had a sick feeling that it might be my power bed somehow. Sure enough, it was the Riff mechanism that tells the back of my bed up so you could actually set up in it if it went that high. And now stays flat. I'm only halfway concerned because I'm pretty sure that I can still make the transfer. The transfer will not be as easy as with the raised bed but I will still be able to do that cuz I'll have the bed itself raised up high enough to try to fall into the power chair. As I've said it is difficult and I must be very careful but I should be able to do it. Now of course, I have to start the arduous and frustrating task of either buying a new bed, trying to find the p i e c e that would fix this bed and then make the purchase of getting the pieces here to the apartment and put together one way or the other. As I said it's going to be a long process and it's going to intimidate me because I'm spending all my money it seems like it's not getting replenished as it has been in the past. And of course those of you who read this log on a regular basis no that this happened before the number of months ago and had I been any kind of a diligent person at all I would have had this problem already solved but as it is I was the grasshopper with the fiddle playing Tunes while my bed continue to wear out. Now I'll be getting next Monday I'll be getting the process I'm trying to find something a replacement for this thing that's wearing out that I call a bad. I must not be too critical of this piece of machinery it really has served me well and I will not forget that. I'm also going to toy with the concept of maybe if I fiddle with my chair itself the power chair I can get it to a point to where the transfer might be easier. The Big Challenge now is not to become totally ineffective and not get the problem solved. But I'll wait for Monday for that
