A few days later...yay

So I was going to the doctors to go get a refill for my medication from UNIVERSITY on the bus with my music on and jamming away when approximately 10 minutes away from my stop my chair started tilting backwards in the ironing board of the bus. I tried to stop it of course, by pressing the button for the tilt and my chair would not go down and only in the up direction. The people on people on the bus were asking me what they could do and how they could help and I told them there's nothing that can be done right there and then so I tilted all the way to the point that I was looking at the roof of the bus. I called Motion Speciaties and they asked where I was and I said "I'll be at the community centre" and they said "Let me call the guy and see where he is at and I will call you right back." The thing I have trouble with is when I look up above in a sitting position and no way to get down is that I get tense and stiff. Two people dis engaged my motors to push me off and since I couldn't stay in my chair like that they had to lift me out of my chair on to the bus stop bench was good.

     The technician called and I couldn't answer cause I was being lifted at the time so I called him back after I said thank you so much to the people who helped me because the driver was running late and when I called the technician back I asked for him to come to the community centre. He said "Sure" and he confirmed the address of the community centre. I then sat there for about 5 or so minutes before calling one of the youth workers and asked if he was busy and he said "Are you stuck?" I said " yea, I am, would you be able to come and give me a hand getting over to the community centre?" About 5 minutes later, I saw a bus and I knew that it would most likely be him and it was with another youth worker. When we got on the bus we decided that it would be better for me to go home so I called the technician to let him know that I'll be home instead. When we got to my house he showed up about 2 minutes after us and started working on my chair. The youth workers helped me get in the house and I said "Thanks, although it's the first time but it will probably not be the last". They both laughed and they left. As they walked out the door I said `Thanks` again.

The technician then pushed my chair inside and continued working on my chair. 15 or 20 minutes later he discovered something might be wrong with the tilt control box so he gave me two options. He could disconnect the tilt all together or take it to the shop. It was a difficult decision because I am getting way to heavy to keep dragging myself around the house but I decided that he should take it in to the shop. He explained that the Service department would call me tomorrow and let me know what`s going on with it and what needs to be done so now I am waiting to see what the outcome of my chair being fixed. After he left, I called my doctors office to tell the receptionist that I wasn`t going to make my appointment because of a problem with my chair. She was okay with it.
