Woody Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 As some of you know ... my chair that I pretty much live in ... suffered a fatal disease over the weekend while I was in the chat room. It is called old age. Yes, It just collapsed while I was chatting. I yelled out for help but those in the chat room were afraid of calling 9-11 for they didn't know where I lived. I thought I should give an update: My chair is 22 years old and because my dog chewed the little tag off with the ID numbers ... they are going to have a difficult time getting parts and my lifetime guarantee is no longer valid. All because of my dog. Is this fair? I have my receipt but that is not enough. But, the repairman did give me hope. He thinks that some how he will manage to fix it to some degree. My chair is like my friend. We fit together. I don't want a new one. And besides ... I can't afford the $2500 to buy a new one. I will have to be on the floor for the next three weeks. The chair doctor says he has other chairs to doctor so I have to get in line. Just keep me and my chair in your prayers .... And thanks to the chat room folks for their support during my time of need. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators Bravus Posted October 27, 2008 Moderators Posted October 27, 2008 Oh man, that's tough. Prayers for you and your chair, definitely. Hope the chair doctor has mercy and gets to it sooner. Quote Truth is important
Woody Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Yes. He said he would try but could not make any guarantees. Thanks Bravus. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators Nan Posted October 27, 2008 Moderators Posted October 27, 2008 Tough, Redwood, you will be in my prayers too and keep us informed about progress. Quote

Guest truthseeker007 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Hey Red i am sorry to hear that. Actually i don t quite understand what is going on? Are we talking about a regular chair here or some kind of wheelchair? Quote

And I really enjoyed it." hmmm strange conclusion. Anyway i hope you are OK. I know you ve got some backproblems so i ll ask God to help you the way he wants to. Quote

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Liz Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 At least the chair doctor has given you some hope that it can be fixed. That is good news. Hopefully it will be sooner than three weeks.

Woody Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks you all. There is just not any other place for me to be in my home ... so I am relegated to the floor for now. And Truthseeker ... my chair is what we call a Lazy-Boy recliner chair ... here in the States. When it collapsed ... the wood just cracked and splintered. I had splinters of wood all over the place. And the screws popped out. I had had this chair repaired previously when the metal mechanism just snapped in half. So, I am hard on chairs. But, I do hope they can repair it so that it will not break. RED Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Taylor Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 So sorry to hear this, I hope it gets repaired soon. Quote
BobRyan Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Red - $2500 for a chair? Are you sure that is not two chairs? Sorry to hear about the chair -- how is it you are reduced to the floor when not in the chair? Even so - I pray for a quick replacement for the chair. in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
Moderators LynnDel Posted October 28, 2008 Moderators Posted October 28, 2008 Can't you get a loaner for the interim? I have a recliner I'm not using much, and a truck. Let me know. LD Quote LD
Moderators John317 Posted October 28, 2008 Moderators Posted October 28, 2008 Sounds like you're resting all your weight on that chair. Someone said that faith is like resting all your weight on Jesus. He won't collapse like your chair did. He can take all of your weight and then some. Hope you don't have to sit on the floor for long, but if I had to spend that much for a chair, I know where I would be sitting now. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Woody Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Red - $2500 for a chair? Are you sure that is not two chairs? Sorry to hear about the chair -- how is it you are reduced to the floor when not in the chair? Even so - I pray for a quick replacement for the chair. in Christ, Bob The $2500 is what it would cost to find a chair that would fit me. I am tall and have a long upper body. They just don't seem to make chairs that fit anymore. The $2500 is not for a Lazy-Boy it is a more expensive brand. Lazy boy doesn't make the Big Man chair like they used to. I am reduced to the floor because with my muscular disease ... I have to be on a firm surface. That is another reason why it is hard to find a new chair. All the other furniture in our house is too soft. And also ... I can't sit. I have to recline. Even as recent as last winter ... I spent much of my time on the floor even though I had my chair. So, it is not all that bad. But now I am doing better and like the chair. So, I do look forward to getting it back. Thanks for your good wishes and prayers ...

Seriously, sorry about the chair, man...If I was in the area, I might take the time to look it over...But it also might take 3 or 4 months FOR ME to repair it. ... Be good...

Woody Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 I think these past few months have been rough on my chair. It had something to do with the poppies and all the stress over the FBI ... Blanche ... and my court date ... I am sure. I have had to jump up and down on my chair after reading your sagas about all this ... more than once. Even a good chair can't take that. Thanks Neil. You is Cool. Bee Good. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
carolaa Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I hope your floor at least has carpet, and is not tile or some other really hard thing. Quote
