Hello!
Dear Lord is the life of a disabled guy full of surprises!
Take today for example, I had an unexpected repairman from
the CLSC to look at the issue of my noisy bed. I knew the existence of the
problem and had briefly talked about it with my occupational therapist, but it
seems that one of my bath persons couldn’t tolerate Mr. Guzman going up and
down on a noisy bed….so repair person was called in and trust me, the title of
my post does justice to the guy…
So there was a knock on the door and he presented himself
and informed me the reason of his visit. Okay, I thought that he was going to
lube the joints and call it the day…boy was I wrong! The guy took out an
English key, some (yes some) wrenches and a hammer; oh yes, and a shit load of lubrication
materials…..
Well, he started by completely disassembling the bed, he
basically destroyed the bed and then proceeded to lubricate every inch of what
was the bed. I haven’t seen that much lubricant used since the Borneo twins,
Tara and Kamara, came to visit and we bought off the pharmacy supply of
KY-Jelly..aaah those were the days….But let us go through the original story
here.. So he lubricated the whole freaking bed and then assembled it. Okay,
then the testing phase of the visit began; and it wouldn’t end until he was
satisfied with the results…Borneo twins come to mind again sorry…So no more
noises, yay! All done, right? Wrong! The guy started to snoop around to
determine what other gizmo of Mr. Guzman he could fix…. Apparently one of the
post that holds the mechanism to lift me up from my bed was moved by about 2” inches. Well
he couldn't have that, so he started to center the bloody thing and the visit that in my head was going to be a cinch took about an hour too long; but my bed and my post were all good now… You got
to love these people, always looking out for number one, me!
Aaaah the Borneo twins….
PS I told ou the title did do the guy justice...
