I am in a powerchair 24/7 and my crossed wrench warning, warning symbol started flashing. Then the chair didn't go at all. DH was not far away and put me into push mode and pushed. But what if I'd been alone?! I called the rehab-fix place and they understood I was not cauterized, self-toileted but if I got stuck alone really bad things could happen. They said they could come tomorrow or day after. What!!!!! I smacked the folding arm with joystick into place, rebooted and as I told DH, "fixed it". But what if it didn't work? I have resources, what if I didn't? Being Handicapped is scary. Guy who came to help from rehab. found nothing he could do. He called chair maker and got advice neither of us found valid.

I always have a cell phone in my chair bag. And a whistle if needed.
