Yesterday was not fun

I bought a swivel chair a few years back. The arms broke early on. But it was still usable. Months back, one of the 5 legs broke. It was still usable, just required a bit of care.

Yesterday, when I moved it, the broken leg wound up at the back. A while later I went over backwards. Hit my head on something on the way down. No serious damage but I wound up on my left side. And between the furniture and stuff around me and the very much unpadded carpet I had great difficulty getting back up. After at least 15 minutes, I managed to contort myself to roll onto my hands and knees. My knees were *not* happy. On that flo0r my weight *hurt*.

But once I was on my hands and knees, I was able to grab onto things and stand up.

I deliberately turned the chair so the leg stub was in the front (I'd sat that way many times with no problems. About an hour later, it tipped forward and slid me onto the floor.

Again I was on my left side on the floor. Managed to finally get up still took at least 10 minutes.

Ugh. More sore knees and a few more scrapes.

The chair is now sitting in the hall waiting for fayanorato help me haul it down to the dumpster. And I've order a new chair, this one is rated for 700 pounds (the old one was rated for 450). It'll be her in a week or so.

I also now have my cane next to my desk because with it I should be able to lever myself upright a lot more easily.

Months with no problems and then I got dumped twice in one day. Still sore in places.
