I really am trying to keep my cool, Not freak out and go off on the tangent of cursing my technology but once again I'm held hostage by my technology or lack of it. It's been quite a day all things considered. I started off by having a pretty good getting up getting dressed meeting the kids for breakfast at the restaurant afterwards my grandkids came over and again doing their magic on the apartment cleaning hair and cleaning there and this time actually going through a lot of my stuff in the closet that really needs to have some serious attention. They even get some washed kind of they piled a whole bunch into into the washing machine and then then they put it in the dryer there's way too much to dry they put in a couple of loads a couple quarters and a couple quarters and that didn't do it then I sent them on their way and I tried to dry it I didn't realize how much was in there till I finally pulled it out and realized it was so stuff that nothing was getting dry so I had to put it in two dryers and do it again but I finally did was able to at least pull enough out that they got dried pretty much and I'll try to put them away tonight and tomorrow maybe well tomorrow now it's too late tonight. Somewhere along the line my foot box has stopped working the foot boxes that part of my power chair that moves my legs up and down are the footballs up and down which moves my legs up and down which else should we get underneath stuff like the sink and the bathroom sink when I do buy stuff in that end I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't actuate that foot box. Hopefully I pray it's just a plug-in that's come unplugged somewhere on the chair. Maybe you'll be so evident that my caregiver in the morning will be able to see it plug it in and have money foot box operational again cuz otherwise I don't know where I'm going to have to do when I have to dress myself on Tuesdays and Thursdays and hopefully I'll have something taken care of by Friday and the weekend. My caregiver dresses me on Friday but the weekend I'm on my own so I have to get up to get dressed for the coffee shop on Saturday and on Sunday I have to get up get ready to see the kids on the restaurant. The technology is failing me though if it's not an easy fix I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know how long it'll take my friends over at ucat to put together a chair for me. Plus I have a meeting in the morning I forgot about hopefully I'll be able to make that by tomorrow lunch time.
I just got a dress for bed it was quicker than I thought it was going to be I was somewhat worried that I wouldn't even be able to get my shoes off in fact I called my son to see if he possibly might be able to come over look at the chair to see if he could fix it easily but he was already home and it's pretty late. That's okay I told him to give me a half an hour and with my sticks I was able to work my shoes off and once that's done I think I can get the rest of the clothes off which I pretty much have now I think I'll be okay for tonight and tomorrow I have my caregiver coming over and she might be able to look at my chair as well and worst case I might have my old caregiver come over later on and she might look at it too she's pretty good at fixing problems with my chair. It's just once again being held hostage by technology just one thing goes wrong and everything seems to go wrong. I hope I can get some semblance of normality with my power chairs in the near future. So much stress would be alleviated had I a chair I can believe in the trust and get to A and B points. That might happen I don't know when I think a lot of it might revolve around a new chair the new chair if it ever comes. I do have a lot of faith in my friend Robert over at you cat and hopefully they can put some stuff together maybe and give me a good backup chair or chair I can use until my new chair gets here. I'm just tickles able to get my clothes off tonight I should be able to roll it to bed. My granddaughter is here with her boyfriend/significant other change the sheets so now I've got my Avenger sheets on and I'm so excited. Maybe I'm just whistling in the dark to keep away the boogies the scary things which might be happening to me I don't know if the tec hnology keeps getting a nipping at my heels and the big techno failure comes what then?
