Ambushed by the door

Halfords shopping.
I went o Halfords to buy a foot pump to inflate my car tyres and some brake fluid.
While the walking was painful I managed to get in and out okay.
The only issue was the automatic door which had a short close time period and I was not quick enough getting in or out

It meant it closed on me as I crossed the threshold and on the way out nearly knocked me down.

Hi, it might be worth dropping them a line, as they can adjust timings, so you could help yourself and others.

Yes considering that but was struck by the humour of it al and the near miss, had hoped to be more stable than I was after four years. a

you hoped to be more stable after 4 years, but I bet you’re more stable than you were 2 years ago, right? Bottom line : Well done for surviving the door incident.

ciao, Roland

Oh dear :flushed: that must have been a bit scary !!. Glad to hear that you are ok and you haven’t lost your sense of humour. :blush:.

I’ve nearly been chopped in half getting in and out of a lift on a couple of occasions and it has thrown me off balance. Pleased to say it hasn’t stopped us going out though :grinning:.

I will say that I’m finding shopping quite a challenge at the moment with the crowds of shoppers and the additional amount of merchandise displayed on the shop floors. Glad it’s only this busy at Christmas :christmas_tree: :joy:.

Happy shopping everyone and stay safe in the latest storm.

Regards Sue

Thanks Roland and yes my stability was not so good 2 years ago nearly fell down a drain grate in the dark on route to a restaurant one evening, even so recovered well from the jolt.
I suppose the sliding door bump was difficult as the hi came fro my righ forcing me on to a painful left that was exhausted so reaction was poor. Normally my bulk can see off most doors on lifts and the like but yesterday’s incident had me ambushed.

Never mind morel learning and more rehab.

I went to the mobility shop the other week and the assistant had to dance in the doorway becauae the doors closed too quickly. The irony of that in a mobility shop wasn’t lost on me.
