Wednesday I had a little bit of a scare, but it was also funny now looking back on it. I was coming down the ramp after dinner by myself when the bottom of the ramp gave way with me. The chair and I both went down face first in the dirt. If anyone knows my will chair it is about 300 pounds by it self and it was on top of me. I was screaming for Jessica when she finally came out about two minutes later. Two minutes might not seem like a long time for everyone but when you are face first in the dirt with a gigantic power wheelchair on top of me it seems like forever. Of course, I am crying because I am hurting really bad.
Jessica had washed the porch and ramp off that morning to clean the cake off for the birthday party previous day. It had washed out the bottom of the ramp and I could not get up it. So I asked Lil Mike to just put another board now so I can get up and down the ramp. He ended up having to lift the bottom of the ramp up and mess with some of the boards underneath before getting it to say it right. I guess it weakens the other boards when he lifted them up.
After a few moments of making sure I was okay we got me up and back in my chair. We checked out my body and even though I was covered in a bunch of dirt the only ones I had was between my pinky toes and on the bottom of one of my other toes on my left foot. I am very grateful that it did not hurt me anymore than it did. The next day we got the police jury to come and fix the ramp right so that it would not happen again.
