Comment from R. K. Alan
Too funny for words. It reminds me of the little feature Reader's Digest use to have, "My Most Embarrassing Moment." I think this would qualify quite nicely. Sorry, I am sure your dignity was mortally wounded, but hey, if we can't poke fun at ourselves then we should stay strapped to a bed so nothing can go awry. Glad all turned out well in the end and you can laugh about it now. I am sure it wasn't funny when it was happening though. Ray aka Krylon

Thank you for your kind review. I had a lot off fun writing this now,but of course I failed to see the humor at the time! Thanks again.
Comment from richard7
Really well written and quite humourous considering the unfortunate predicament.
I cannot understand the neighbours staring at the lady on the porch in her jammys and dye in her hair yelling at the intercom?!
And why they did not help?!
The police cars ambulance paramedics( no journalists?!) :-)
must have made way for a great tale to friends and family,,,and FanStory too!
Thanks for sharing this neat piece over the woes of a wheelchair mishap!

My neighbors have never once offered to help me in any way. They don't even smile or wave when I see them-they are just rude! Glad you enjoyed it. I didn't find it funny at the time, but now I look back and laugh. Thanks for you kind review! Have a great day.

I cannot believe that the neighbors just stood there and watched without even offering any assistance at all. I'm not much into visiting or being visited by my neighbors but in times of emergency a helping hand is always appreciated. Glad to hear that you are okay.

Comment from Kentucky Sweet Pea
You had me laughing in the floor. I think it is awesome that you can joke about your situation. It was an emergency but you kept your cool!
My favorite part:
The directions come printed in several languages, but unfortunately are printed so small they can't be read in any language. So I begin by mixing the potion and slathering it on my hair, not to mention the sink, the floor and my favorite towel with the pink flowers.
Woo hooooo! Thanks for the chuckle. Believe me, I needed it.

Comment from Ntorious
Yes, that was embarrassing!. I'm not laughing at you , I am laughing with you.
I enjoyed reading this as you projected interest in the beginning and kept me interested.
As I read it I laughed with the humor provided.
It was well written had a steady flow and it was easy to read.
You explained, and made me feel like i was the neighbor watching.
I enjoyed reading this.
No revisions needed.

You know, this deserves a six, just because you're honest and wrote a good account of your embarassing situation. Welcome to Fanstory. I'd like to read more of your honest writing. It's the best kind!. - Thesis

Comment from jmdg1954
I'm sorry to say, but I was chuckling to myself from the second paragraph till the very end. I just couldn't help it. I feel you wrote this with that intent. It also was theraputic to write/share this story with everyone. Not one neighbor came to your aid? Bastards! How can they be so cold? This was very well written and I saw no corrections or changes that I would incorporate into the story. I hope you have someone help you with the dye next time. If you live in Jersey I can help since I do my wifes periodically... John
