I need a drink. I'm beat, and I need a drink.
For those of you who read my post on hubby faceplanting in a ditch in his PWC, he did it again. No, not in the ditch. I asked him to stay in the middle of the road, and he did. Going down a hill his joystick developed a mind of it's own and the chair shot into a 360 degree turn. He went over sideways this time. The phone rang and I saw that it was from his cell, but no signal, so I couldn't hear him. His dad and I shot out the door and up the street and found him bleeding, again under his chair, in the middle of the road. He was adamant that we not call the EMTs to get him up, so we brought the Hoyer and the other chair to him. Of course I hadn't charged the Hoyer, so it has just enough juice to get him about three inches short of high enough to get into the chair. We muscled him into it. Long story short, the chair did the same thing to me going home, but didn't do it when I got it back to our supplier. They did say, however, that it sounds like the motor is going out. Still under warranty...but this is now on top of a new actuator. ARGH.
Hubby is patched up and spent the rest of the day in bed. There's a lot more to the story (as you can all imagine), but I'm too tired to share.
Kaluha and milk. It worked....
