Serendipity

[kengr]

Getting ready for Darklady's last party Lin was wishing she could borrow a wheelchair, since her fibro was acting up.

Yesterday, I spotted a post on pdx.forsale from someone who's always selling odd stuff. (he goes to auctions to get various lots of stuff and they often include the weird, bizarre etc). He was offering a nice wheelchair for $25.

I immediately sent him an email. I got it, and since we'd dealt before, he made it $20 for me. It was delivered about an hour ago. and Lin and Kermit will be here soon for a trip out to Fry's.

Lin's thrilled (and is cheerfully paying me the $20. I didn't ask her to, but I know better than to object:-)

She hasn't told Kermit yet, and expects a bit of static from him as he doesn't realize that there are times when she really *can't* move around much on her own. This will give her some extra options.

She may use it at the store. And I'll cheerfully push her around, because it'll give *me* something to lean on. Which will spare my legs.

Anyway, that's my Good Deed(tm) for the day. Maybe for the week. :-)

Cool! (Not that Lin needs a wheelchair, but that you were able to find one so inexpensively.) I hope that it suits her and is comfortable. I also hope that her conversation with Kermit goes reasonably well.
