Sigh. Why is it so flipping hard for these companies to get it right the first time? What a rotten turn of events. I'm sorry to hear this Cei-U! . You'd think the people supplying these kinds of necessary items would be over-careful in their work. I really hope that there is only a brief delay before you are given the chair.

Well, that was anti-climactic.
They delivered the new manual wheelchair this afternoon. Then they took it away again. It was the right height and the right width but the back wheels were huge, making them even more of an obstacle than the ones on the old chair. As is, the chair is unusable. Fortunately, they can swap them out for smaller ones. It's just going to take an additional couple of weeks.

Cei-U! I summon the frustration!
Especially since the money they receive for providing the wrong service always works. Here’s hoping it won’t be too long till they install the proper wheels.

So there are three cop cars in our parking lot, they've put one of the neighbors in the back of one in cuffs, and our maintenance man just walked past carrying a window-sized piece of plywood. Am I a bad person for wondering if that means there'll be a vacancy soon?
Cei-U! I summon the shameless opportunism!

A total non-sequitur here, I just realized that Bryce Dallas Howard was Ron Howard's daughter and I feel really dense for not knowing it sooner.

I only saw her in the Spider-man movie, I haven't seen the Jurassic park movies. I first saw her as Rosalind in As You Like It on stage at the Public Theater and then in Branagh's 2006 film adaptation and thought she was great in both and have loved her ever since. However, it wasn't until I was just reading that she had directed an episode of the upcoming Star Wars show the Mandalorian than I found out she was Ron Howard's daughter. I mean they both share the same last name and she has his red hair so I have no clue how I missed it.

Life can be crappy sometimes. Im positive there is a greater plan to all this even if I'm not totally sure what it is yet. Keeping the faith though /random first post for a while

We may never know the full plan in place for us but we can continue to live life to the best of our abilities and keep the faith while striving to always find the positive while never allowing the negative or bad things to drag us down. As the old Eddie Kendricks 70's song goes: Ain't nothin' holdin' me back, nothin, I'll keep right on, right on truckin', gotta keep on truckin'...

Well said, brutalis ... and again, we all experienced this once or twice in our lifetime.
