At 3am Sunday I had to use Bathroom. Did, got up, transferred back to chair, it wouldn't go, service light blinked. DH put into manual push mode, back to bed. I was all stressed, pain in arm started and had to get up. Read my Kindle, slept in up-right mode (kinda - Dogs make noise, DH left bedroom door open a crack, drafts made it move and creak, I was cold and not very comfortable.)

Chinese tell tale of man who goes to village wise man and complains of in-laws living with him. Wise man says he can help. Brings your cows into the bedroom he says. A week later the village man comes back and tells him this is so not helping. Put your chickens in the living room the wise man said. A week later the village man is back. OMG he says, It's really terrible at home. The wise man tells him to take cows and chickens out.

A week later the village man returns. He tells the wise man, things are sooo much better and you know, my in-laws really aren't that bad.

Yesterday I had cows in my bedroom, chickens in my living room. I couldn't move, do anything, reach most things. I can't propel manual chair (feet don't reach ground, have use of only one hand-go so in circles if I use it propelling with one hand and seat hurts after awhile. So sat in big heavy dead chair, left where-ever I was pushed.) There were Chickens and cows in my rooms! MS in a power chair with freedom, independence doesn't look so bad now. Perspective came and gave me a big slap in the face
Repair guys coming today. Hope they hurry.
