Well, something kind of funny happened to me the other day. It really was not funny at the time, but as I look back, I can laugh at myself a little.
I was lying back in my reclining lift chair watching television when a booming lightning strike seemed to rattle my house. The television went off, and then I thought about my chair. Sure enough, the electricity was off.
I was in no position to get out of the chair without possibly falling and hurting myself. I then reached and got the telephone from a table nearby and began calling for family members who live nearby on the New Home Road.
As the telephone rang and rang, I began to get worried.  Finally I got my nephew, Douglas Ervin. He agreed to come and rescue me but suggested he might need help. Knowing my own weight, I agreed.
He and my niece, Angie Meadows, came and saved the day. Like I wrote, it was not funny at the time, but as I think about it now, I can laugh about it.
I told Dr. Donnie Cripps about the story while in the office. He seemed to get a kick out of me wrestling with the chair.
