Well, it is a minor disaster, in the whole scope of things.
My wife's car needs some minor work, so she took the wheelchair van to run some errands today. One of those errands involved parking in an underground garage. I bet you can see where this is going.
Unfortunately, the wheelchair van is a bit taller than the entrance to said underground garage.
We managed to spend quite a bit of this evening discussing this with our insurance company and sealing the damaged roof against the foul weather that is expected over the next week (with the help of our neighbor).
It looks like we will have a few trips to Denver to get this taken care of. I am anticipating the insurance company will total the van.
In the meantime, the van is not really fit for use. I am limited to taking the wheelchair to the places I can go on our local bus system. The local bus system is great, but services just our small community.
I can hardly wait until the van is repaired and/or a replacement is secured! I feel somewhat marooned.
