I closed the garage door without getting hurt further!

I could not find any repairmen that work on weekends. One site said they were only available for emergencies. Mom said this qualified. I called and got someone hours away. He told me to put locking pliers under the low side and pull the other side until it was level.

It didn't stay.

I put locking pliers on top of the other side so that it was stuck level. I hammered the track and bracket straighter. I finally climbed onto the nearest steel shelf, unhooked the cable from the spool, redid it, removed the locking pliers, and closed the door!

Yay me!
