Made me laugh

5 Replies

Did a WI christmas dinner for a local group last night and after the swan feed 2 of the ladies in wheelchairs were struggling to get out.One of them was so determind to get out of the chair and walk to the table but she kept falling back into the w/chair. I quickly noticed why as she struggled again and told her to sit down.No she cried I am walking. I replied NOOOOOO you need to sit down before you break a lot of bones I know why you keep falling.

When she had pushed up her foot pedals god knows how she had done it but she had managed to get them BOTH inside her trouser legs! So I take the pedal boards out of the trousers and before I know it she leaping out of the chair, nearly takes me down as her handbag THEN got caught around the wheel!

Her daughter did not know whether to laugh or cry.......she promptly ordered a large bottle of wine. I would have quite happily drunk it with her.

The other scooter lady who had borrowed one of ours decided she liked the speed ot it and was whizzing up an down the gallery with gay abandon. The organiser looked at me and asked if they were going to get banned!
