**********
Ron and his neighbor, Jeremy, trudged up the cellar stairs carrying Grandma’s old reclining lift chair. She was finally out of rehab and, upon arriving home, demanded her old chair to sit in front of the TV. The old leather chair was an eyesore.
Ron caught his toe on the stairs and stumbled, nearly dropping the chair on his toes. Getting this old chair through the doorway into the kitchen would be quite a challenge as the stairway was narrow. They had trouble getting it down the stairs in the first place. Ron and his dad had wanted to get rid of it, but Grandma insisted she would be back and wanted her chair, and now here they were.
Jeremy put down his end of the chair and waited for Ron to catch up with him. They still had to get the chair in the living room before the TV.
While he waited for Jeremy, Ron played with the magnetic numbers and digits on the refrigerator, rubbing his fingers over each letter and spelling out witch. One of the letters he needed to spell out witch was holding a coupon for a car wash. He could use a car wash and wondered if they would use it before it expired. He would have to ask.
He thought of Ron’s grandmother and this stupid chair she had to have. He thought her fixation on this chair was abnormal, but her son had insisted they humor her and put it in place. What was the chance she would sit in it rather than be forced to spend her last days in bed? He knew Ron and his dad were determined that the chair would be trashed once she was gone.

Thanks Tessa. Would be ironic if she passed away, they dumped the chair and it was stuffed with money.

No and the funny thing was that when I saw the picture it immediately reminded me of my own reclining lift chair. They are very similar. It is not my favorite, but they had a special on it as it was used and I got it quite cheap. I wanted one that had cloth covering, but ended up with what is probably vinyl and not leather.

I would prefer the cloth covering.

Yes that was one of my disappointments about this chair and the color. The color is almost the same as the chair in the picture.

My chair is what I miss the most when I’m away from home.

I love my reclining chair. That is what I sleep in at night and naps. I can’t stand the hospital bed I have. It is very uncomfortable.
