Never Again!

Posted by hardyberlin on 8th November 2006

Yesterday was horrible. I don´t know why, because the day started so good. I loaded the new IE 7 down and was satisfied with it, than a few other programs and updates- everything worked out fine. But than, after lunch, I had to bring my Dad to the doctor.We got a cab very quick, his wheelchair did´t make problems- so far so good.
But than everything started. When we arrived there was construction work on the street, so that the cab driver had to drive around for a while to find a place where he could let us out, then I hurt my finger  when I opened the chair(squeezed it), and it still hurts. When he was finished, and we wanted to drive back I called the cab-company, we waited 20 minutes- no cab was coming! Second call- same company- they where sorry but they had no van or  kombi available. Calling another company- waiting again- no cab. It took us nearly an hour to get one.
Than, two hours after we where back, there was the owners conference- so he wanted to join by himself instead of giving me power. And so it came what we where afraid of. After the conference, when everyone has left, he was so powerless, that he fell down on his knees and could not get up. Mrs. Maywald and me tried to lift him up in his wheelchair- no way(he weights 35 kg more than me). He was like a  wet  bag  glued to the floor. Thanks God the homosexual couple, which are living below my parents, arrived. Together with them we where able to lift him up and in the chair. To bring him back to the apartment was than only a little problem, I managed it without any  accident.
Today he promised my Mom never to do such things again- but will he really- I don´t know.
