So, my daughter Jasmine took me to Target this past Tuesday and we decided to use the motorized chair that Target provides for customer use. We thought that it would be more convenient to use their chair because of the attached basket.
We were about 15 minutes into our shopping when I had to go use the restroom. Well, first of all let me say that someone in the architectural department did not consider that they needed a wider turning radius in order to get that chair into the restroom. I think that they are gonna have to buy a little touch up paint to fix up the areas that I banged into trying to get into the restroom – lol.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, the battery on their chair died and was far to heavy for Jasmine to push out of the restroom. Good heavens!!
Well, that left me no other choice but to maneuver into the stall by holding on only to the stall door, wall and bars. I was sort of pleased that I was put to the test in this situation. I realized that I am getting stronger and stronger because there was a time when I would not have been able to make it to the toilet without transferring from less than a foot away. I was able to walk from the stall door to the toilet seat (apps 6 feet), turn around, pull down my clothing, put a cover on the toilet, squat down, do my business and get up and get out of there.
I praise God for my restoration….. slow and steady wins my race!!!!
