Half past midnight was last night. Today is now today. Are you nit-picking? Actually I am saying no more as it was an extremely traumatic day for me and I am still upset about the entire episode.

I know what you mean Anyone would think hard work and using your own brain is against the natural order of things.

I'd gone upstairs for something in the early evening and when I came to go back down my stairlift had conked out. I phoned the emergency service engineer but the nearest one is based in Glasgow which is two and a half hours drive from me.

The problem was that the stairlift was at the top of the stairs and was blocking the way and my husband couldn't get it to move using the manual key provided. He couldn't get to me and I couldn't get down. I often have to go to hospital as an emergency admission because of my medical condition and I started to panic, also what if there had been a fire? There was no way for anyone to get me down the stairs and out of the house with the stairlift blocking the way.

My husband messed about with it for ages and finally got the stairlift to move around the first curve of the stairs and he was then able to manually fold it up so he could get past. So with his help and with the help of gravity I was able to get down the stairs to where my powered wheelchair was waiting for me. What a relief that was. I stayed awake during the night in my living room and the service engineer set off from his home at 6.30am this morning and repaired my stairlift so I was able to get to my bed at 10.30am this morning.

I am still very scared in case it jams again while I am upstairs. It brought it right home to me how precarious it is to have to rely on battery-powered aids such as a stairlift, my powered bath seat, and my powerchair to live my life on a daily basis.

There's a stairlift in my parents' house and it folds back. How dreadful that yours doesnt and you got stuck. How does a powered bathseat work? isnt that dangerous with water?

Mine does fold back, and it did. But it was at the top of the stairs on the top landing waiting for me to go back down again, hence it was across the stairs access and blocking the way. Stairlifts go down sideways as I am sure you are aware, and because my stairs have curves in them it swivels round at the top to enable me to get on and off safely. It wouldn't swivel back round so folded up or not it still blocked the stairs stopping anyone from passing it.

The bathseat lowers me into the water and rises to enable me to get out of the bath, and it is battery-powered the same as the stairlift and my powerchair, hence it is perfectly safe to use with water. The hand control contains the battery and it detatches from the bathseat to enable charging in any mains electrical socket, completely independant and isolated from the bathseat itself and the bathroom.

these things are brilliant until they go wrong. like all the electrics in modern cars etc. just more potential problems. i hope it doesn't happen again. just make sure you have a mobile phone on you (charged and with credit) in case anything like that happens again. i bet the fire brigade could get you out if you needed to get to hospital x
