WARNING!!!! My 5th wheel theater seating almost killed me
WARNING!!!! My 5th wheel theater seating almost killed me last week. I am 86 years old and live alone. Last week I was doing some final check about winterizing the 5th wheel. I noticed the electricity to the theater seating was not working. I assumed that it was because the chair was unplugged from the wall. I first raised the foot rest to see if I could reach the wall plug by reaching under the chair. I could not reach the plug. So, I thought I would reach over the back and down by the wall. As I strained to reach wall plug the chair fully reclined trapping my arm between the back of the chair and the wall. My full weight was on my arm and I was unable to remove my arm. I was unable to reach my phone to call for help and realizing that it was up to me to free myself. Soon the blood flow was cut off to my arm and it began to go numb. I struggle and struggle to pull my arm out. After about 15 or 20 minutes I was successful. A week later the arm is still sore.
