I need a....I need a...A ride.

Once when I was taking my trash to the roll out, I got stuck in the mud! As "Murphy" will point out, what goes wrong, will. No neighbors around to shout out to, so there I sat in my wheelchair stuck.

I grabbed my phone and started to dial 911, then the little voice in my head played out the scenario for me.

"911 Operator, what is your emergency?"

Me, "Yes, I'm stuck in the mud and can't move.":

Operator, "Sir we are not AAA. If you are stuck in the mud, hang up and call a tow truck."

Me, "You don't understand. I"m not in my car, I am in a wheelchair. On my way to throw my trash away, I got stuck in the mud!"

Operator, now laughing. "Your wheelchair is stuck in the mud" (More laughter!

Me, "Yes, my wheelchair and I are stuck in the mud and I need someone to come and pull me out."

Operator, "Sir, are you drunk?"

Me, "No, it's 9:00 in the morning! I'm stuck!"

Still more laughter from he operator, "What do you suggest?" Even more laughter from those around her.

Me, "I don't know. The Fire Dept? To try and tow me out?"

EVEN more laughter from those around her, "Sir, I will send the Fire Dept to you. Please hang on the line and don't go anywhere!" Open laughter from everyone now!

Once my synapses fired I thought it over. I wasn't going to end up on TV on one of Fox's shows, "Real 911 Calls".

Finally, I was able to roll forward and make my way to the sidewalk and get back to my apartment. Wheels and myself all covered in mud!
