NEW CAR BLUES!!!!!

Ever anxiously open a Christmas gift only to find that it needs batteries and there are none in the house? or that it is broken? Well, that's today's experience! Decided to go for a drive in my new SUV to the movie theater. Got my wheelchair positioned correctly, transferred into the driver's seat, put the key in the ignition and it wouldn't start - only clicked and indicated that the passenger door was not closed. I managed to get out of the vehicle, but was not sure if doors would close. Driver's window didn't go back up. Got back in car from driver side and turned the ignition enough to roll the window up. Called the dealer from FMI. Mike believes that it is a battery issue. We'll see...they're sending someone out in the morning to look at it and check the battery. Of course the first thing I think is that I have done something wrong - where does that come from??? Of course, I have not done anything wrong! This SUV should not be that fragile!!! I really hope I'm able to drive it tomorrow. Think I'll go to the pool and exercise on my own if it's ok. Hope it's the battery and that's it!!! Patience Carla...
