Adventures in a wheelchair… on a cold brisk day, Jason went to meet his new internal medicine doctor. This was an hour away to Spokane and in the same as building as his former primary physician. My new doctor is a woman, a Romanian. We spent 3 hours for this appointment"blood test, etc. So we arrived home at 5:30pm, dark, and around 11 degrees, F. We are praying the porch lift in the back works. Here we go onto the lift, vrrrrrrm"stops right in the middle"circuit breaker blew. New plan to get me inside the house. Carry me into the house to my backup vent? So I have the nurse take me to the front door as my mom runs to the neighbors to find help. What good neighbors we have, Jerry and Jeff. Before mom knew it, Jerry and Chad lifted me and the wheelchair onto the front porch. Jeff came in for support. Step by step, some grunting and I was safe up the stairs. Quite the adventure in the wheelchair. It was a good thing me and the wheelchair don’t have much weight. The hydraulic fluid in the porch lift was probably freezing. So, this was most likely the problem and the lift should work. Hopefully this is only temporary.
Today we have almost two feet of snow and it is still coming down!
