chairs.....

I was having a wonderful visit with some friends this week.  We were talking about how much they loved their "lift chair."  It IS very helpful when a person has difficulty standing up - especially after sitting for any length of time.  The chair "rises" so they are in a standing position for both getting out of the chair and sitting down in the chair.  It also reclines to a very comfortable position with the feet elevated.

I shared the story, with them, of Dad's lift chair.  He loved the chair and, like I said, it was very helpful for him.  Please remember Dad was VERY smart but he must have missed "common sense."  This particular time was when we had a VERY BAD storm happening.  He was sitting in his chair, with his feet up when the power went off.   About a 1/2 hour later the power came back on.  He got up, went to the bathroom, got a snack from the kitchen and went back to HIS chair sat down and put his feet up.

You guessed it.  The power went off again - this time for several hours.  He could have used my recliner but instead was "stuck" in his until we finally figure out a way to get him out.  Thankfully no one was around to get pictures!  Like I have said....you have to laugh or you will start screaming!  

(Follow up note - my sister found him a lift chair with battery back up!)
