~Eye Level~

I had company a while back.. and the person was, I dont think aware

that there is a right way and a wrong way to talk or chat to someone
in a wheelchair. She kept standing and more or less hovering. I dont
know if perhaps she didnt want to be here or what...But it made it
very uncomfortable for me as I am sure it does to most that live in
chairs.. this is something I think those in chairs deal with daily if
they encounter alot of people during the day.. I dont but when I
have been around alot..I've noticed this. And who likes a pain in
the neck?

To just stop and chat to someone in a chair for a minute or two..and
stay standing is different.. But if you plan to visit with that person for
any length of time..common courtesy is to sit..eye level..or eye to eye so
to speak...For me to talk to someone for any length of time, to constantly
look up is NOT easy..gives you a kink in your neck...Does me anyway.
And then I dont want to look at that person anymore..and then they feel
like I dont want them here perhaps, when its not that at all. i just have a
sore neck..

I was describing to a friend about laying on my stomach.. I have lots of

scars there. from so many surgeries...and to lay on it is NOT a really

great feeling, but I have done it.. But for me to lean over the side of the

bed..I have to hold onto something.. I cant not hold on..why? hmmm?

well my center of gravity has shifted..and I am now top heavy. lolol

ok ok no comment...and thats NOT why lol...with no legs...i dont have

anything to keep me on the bed if I dont hold on..I will go right off

head first..dont ask how i know this either...lol...Just trust me..its true.

If I lean too far I would hit the floor.. lay on your stomach and keep

legs bent at the knees and both arms reaching down over the side..

can u get up? I bet you cant, and If you can how easy is it? you have

to have the leverage legs give you.. I didnt realize myself all this till

I leaned way over and tried to get back up with out giving myself a

heart attack doing it..I know you can just picture me rolling around

like a weeble stuck on its side lol...I think weeble is a good word .a

funny description..but its really true except they can sit back up

better than me lol... Anyway.. its best to let someone else..get the

stuff "your cat" knocks on the floor.

I was up early and had good intentions of getting alot done today

too and I have to say.. where did today go? its after 6..and last

time I looked at the time was about 2 or so writing a letter to

kelli she is so ready for some cookies... I will make her some

of my good chocolate ones..just like brownies maybe..depends

on how i feel tomorrow.. I did play with my webcam today tho..
and I do have a nice little clippie I made just for you on my list..

so..better hurry and send me your email and get on it...

Well I hear some pie calling me..This is really a nice Christmas..
