SAFETY RAMPS

147 – Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Tomorrow is the ‘big day’ when Bill and I will travel to Aunt Mary’s to install the three access ramps to make her invalidity less restrictive when travel is necessary. I was struck with the idea and concept for the sloping fillers on an earlier visit shortly after she had sustained a fall, related in part to the sidewalk and steps as obstacles to be overcome. I decided I wanted the construction and installation of the aids to be my blessing to her. The small plywood inclines will fill the risers on the sidewalk outside the condo and make wheel-chair maneuvering a simple straight-up-and-in through the doorway – a much safer and more controllable means of assistance for Uncle Bud. Finished and sealed to resist the weather and coated with sandy, abrasive materials to make them totally slip-proof, they will make ingress and egress transition as-smooth-as-glass. I trust they will minister to her needs and that Uncle Bud will be blessed as well.
