BAD START TO THE DAY

Woke at 4am - stayed in the wheelchair and napped until 6am. After the hubby left for work, I usually nap some more(great meds) or read. Well, not today. I needed to go to the bathroom again. Problem - legs went straight out and I couldn't bent them. Tried to stand using support bars - slipped backwards into the wheelchair. But I wasn't on it correctly and begain to slide forward towards the edge of the seat. Thank God for powered wheelchairs, because I was able to motor over to the end of the bed and tried to right myself, but to no avail. Fearing slipping totally off the chair, I yelled to my Dad for help. Together we tried to bend my legs, but again to no avail. Dad (75 years old) even tried to slide me back in the chair. No luck. We tried calling Hubby at wortk - no one answered. Finally we were able to get me in standing position. Dad motored the chair right behind my legs, and all was well with the morn. We were getting ready to call 911, particually if I fell. Let's hope the rest of the day goes better!
