Monday, May 12th, 2025 07:05 pmSo got up and got my aching self down to the lab which was virtually empty at 10:30, so in and out in under ten minutes, though four people arrived as I was leaving. Elevator opens on one person heading to the second floor, so I assume it came down to me first. I press button for ground floor, doors close, nothing happens. Sign still says Basement. She presses G again. Nothing. Presses two again. Nothing. Presses Open doors. Nothing. At this point I'd be freaking if alone because I absolutely hate this elevator and its very antsy-making slowness. She jabs Open doors violently, doors open on basement. 'This is the worst elevator in Toronto,' she says, and I agree wholeheartedly. She jabs G, doors close, elevator makes moving noises, which I didn't realize it actually did. Usually I stand and wonder if we're moving at all. Am eventually allowed to exit at G. Too much excitement for before breakfast and meds.
Rollator still wobbles and sticks. Finally figure it's the right front wheel that's out of true. No idea how to get it straight but tighten what I can. Call the repair place who charge $150 for a house call, with any repairs being extra, I assume. Might cost less than that to taxi up to Dufferin and Steeles, but am warned that I might have to leave it there. Which no, can't do. Shall eventually go up to Starkman's to see if their 'tall' models are any taller than mine. Thought about doing it today after massage but by then it was 3:30 and Bathurst is a parking lot any time after 2, and I certainly wasn't up for the walk.
However I did win $20 on my freebie ticket from last week, which helps.
