Should I do it? Chair leg is held to chair by 1 nail. Strapping destroyed by cat. I weight 260

pounds. Should I sit on it? And what will I get if I complete that dare?

1. you may get damaged knees

I had a stupid plastic yard chair break and collapse on me xmas eve. fell with all my (considerable) weight on both legs, knees bent under me. I rolled around on the floor for 15 minutes in agony before I could get up again. It hurt like hell. (and was probably pretty funny looking, I fully admit - but still - owww)

put a plastic bucket or a foot stool under the corned that has the bad leg

3. I wasn't actually planning to sit on it again. I sat on it tonight for a second and I could

feel that leg moving so I'm sitting on a step ladder right now and my brother is driving over an old chair that I hope will do permanently. I already went caput on the other wicker chair I had. I hope my cat is not attracted to this new seat.

2. Can you drive in a couple more nails to hold the leg in place?

4. Duct tape, perhaps?

5. That is my next plan. I borrowed a chair but it is too hard. I'll go out and buy some duct tape of

Friday.

6. Don't paly around..

... with your orthopedic health. Seriously. You'd be amazed at the creative ways you can injure yourself when something you rely on without thinking much about it fails.

7. I will fix it with duct tape for now. I was really just joking about trying to sit on it today.

I can't afford a new chair for now. I think if I put a whole roll of duct tape on the bloody thing. My cat will be miffed. But I agree. There is no point in making myself lame.
