~Things I Miss~

Ive been asked what things are there that I miss since being a amputee.
One thing is being able to just get up and run..or walk fast and even just
stand. To be able to get up quickly and hurriedly go where I need to is
a definate thing I miss.. especially on days like the last day and a half.

I think I caught a stomach virus, and when a stomach is upset, fast
travelling to the bathroom is most DEFINITELY necessary..lol. For
me just a twinge, and I have to start hauling myself in the direction
of the bathroom. If I am on the bed, well I have to allow for loading
time to get myself into my chair and time to scoot onto the potty...
And when you are nauseous time is of the essence, if THAT is one
of the reasons I have to make a fast trip .....

To be able to just sit up quickly, stand and go as fast as you can?
Yes I miss that alot.. I think just to stand, and stretch, would be
a most wonderful feeling..its not near the same when you are
laying.. I can only move on my bed by butt wiggles and my arms.
Or to sit in my chair and try to stretch.. it is NOT nearly the same
as standing, reaching up and bending .. ahhh THAT I miss...

There are other things like crossing my legs, knee over knee, I
always sat like that, or sideways, with my legs partly under me,
like halfway under me, so many little things that only NOW I
can really appreciate what I could do. I will say tho.. that I am
glad I do have a way to get around..and the person that first
came up with a chair on wheels? Well Bless his/her heart. I
am truly grateful...

I am back to my bed and going to try to get rid of this bug,
I almost didnt post tonite.. but I thought this was a most
appropriate subject being as how I think I made 50 of
these trips today lol...so while I have a bit of a reprieve
I am off to watch a few of these wonderful channels I have
been given...I sure hope no one else gets this bug..sure
aint fun..trust me... I KNOW :-)

Y'all have a good one now y'hear? luv ya..and thanks :-)
Always, Lois***
