Gaaaaawwwwwd, I'm mad too, for you and because I've been there.. I can use a manual, but it's difficult, as my left arm and hand are very numb and weak, so I just get exausted moving from here to there.

I'd like to put some of these so called service place owners in a small room, tie their hands and feet together and give them a scooter that doesn't run and see how they like it.

I love your prospective story and I will live by that now, but I'm alone and someone is not always available to help me, so the B*****ds better come ASAP or I'll call the police..

Thanks Kicky and give your DH a big hug from Sally..
