October visit

Chuck and Liz along with Kaden in tow came to see me. Chuck was excited to have Kaden go for go-cart rides in Pigeon Forge. With grandma in tow we went to the Track. Kaden was tall enough to ride in the big cart with is daddy and Chuck treated Liz and me to a single cart.

Getting into the cart was not a problem, little did I know that I would now become a stationary fixture attached to the cart itself, but I'm getting ahead of the story. The green light came on and I had problems figuring out how to get my cart to run . Once I figure it out then I was worried about going into the curves too fast. needless to say I was the slowest on the tack and lapped several times by the other racers. That was the least of my humiliation.

When the end of the race came, as indicated by the red traffic light, I dutifully pulled into the back of the line of carts. Then I discovered with great horror that I could not get out of the cart! Since there are no sides to the little beast I could not leverage myself up, my knees were pinned under the steering wheel so I could not get my knees under me. The steering wheel had me pinned to the back of the seat.

Thinking I could do better if I could get my leg up over the steering wheel I managed to do this acrobatice maneuver. Then, when I reached over to lean on out of the cart and push up onto the little sidewalk at the edge of the track I discovered that not only was it too low for leverage but that it was also to far away to support my attempt. Now I am stuck, with my posterior flashing high and no place to go!

Liz turned and realized my perdicament and started to run to my aid , The track attendant also started to race over..for I was slowing the next batch of riders from getting started. With Liz's hand on mine and a heavy tug I was dislodged from the vehicle. Kaden suggested that next time grandma should just watch.

I told this to some of my patients the next week, they wanted to know if anyone had made of vidio . Thank goodness , no! But, they all said, it would have gotten you money from the tv show America's Funniest Videos. I think I can do without that money.. Love, Grandma.
