~Stump Socks?~

The subject has come up as to whether I wear stockings or nylons on my stumps, especially in the winter if they get cold.. I do feel the temperature changes on them.. and cold really does affect my stumps even my hands... But I dont usually cover them with stockings, only my little mink cape which works quite well..But I have seen pictures of cotton socks just made for winter and extra warmth, I bet they feel good. I do have some nylons..well fishnet kind..and they have like an elastic top and are called thigh highs... I think I did not get a large enough pair as sometimes when I wear them the tops will roll down and then tighten and it is like a tourniquet on them.. which is NOT good..then they ache for sure, perhaps the thinner nylon would be better. I dont know..I dont have any of those..well I do but they are too small ... I put them on myself while I was sitting in my chair which maybe was not a good idea.. I perhaps should have put them on over on my bed, and laid down to do it and then maybe they would have went on more smoothly.. As I could raise each stump easier and maneuvered them on better.. It seemed the harder I tried to get them on the more they would roll back down. lol..Ok ok I have fat stumps go ahead and say it :-) Perhaps that is the problem.. I have not really checked out alot of them lately , well places where they sell them.. Its too bad they dont think of these things for us.. I bet there are alot of others that would wear them if they could fix that problem unless I am the only one with FAT thighs LOL.. no comments on that now either :-) I used to love to dress up over the holidays and if I was going any where this Christmas or New Years I would definitely wear a pair just to look nice and I know would really make me feel even more dressed up... If for some reason my stumps did show then they would look very nice. I think it depends on what I would wear a tight skirt or a full one.. I try not to wear skirts that are too long .. I have gotten them caught in my wheels and now want to see something funny? THAT is a cute site.. I have rolled and my skirt is caught, the more I roll the more it pulls around the wheel..so If I go the wrong way..yessss it pulls my skirt down and almost off!! well not quite, but I know you can picture that in your mind..I look like I am just stuck.. which I am till, I can really SEE what I'm doing..I try to keep my skirts tucked in under my stumps if they are too long . I know-- I sew..why do I not hem them..some I do.. but alot of my dressier skirts are pleated.. well I am NOT hemming a pleated skirt it is NOT easy.. I saw that gorgeous red leather skirt, and jacket and the red sequin top underneath..& with a pair of red nylons..NOW THAT would look so dressy and so wonderful for a great Christmas party or even New Years.. I have a friend is having a party in Chicago for NYE,, I may stop in and say hello..We have been friends for quite a while and she has invited me many times to meet her when she is there , I should go..but with our weather like it is..we may be snowed in! But Chicago would not be that bad a place to be snowed in ...its a great city..I have been THRU it .. many times...and Its not that far west of me, a few days there might be fun since I know a few other people there. It might be nice to get away for a few days..I would have to find a baby sitter for my boys tho..I cannot take this unruly Dutch with me.. It would NOT be a get away then ...and I bet they would like one away from me at times..specially when I have to show them who REALLY rules here . .. My sister came for a visit today and its always so good to see her, She always brings something and today was no different, she brought me a lovely dark blue sweater and a new throw to cover with, and always she brings me cookies and candy of course, which I dont need but I do eat some but not all at once. I dont eat alot of candy but its nice to have. The sweater and throw were my Christmas gifts..She knows what I need and like..The throw is polar fleece that is so soft and warm, and very light weight for the warmth they provide. Its wonderful. I will use it, Its been below zero outside and I can feel the draft from under the window, my bed is right up next to it, sometimes I get cold when I nap... I have a few chores to do before I settle in for the night since Jane couldnt get out yesterday.. She is a very nice person..I like her alot she does so much for me I am really grateful for her. So I will bid you good nite.. I hope you are having a great , safe, happy week end, stay warm, make sure you have some warm socks for your feet. Wear 2 pair, 1 pair for you and 1 pair for me..Ok, too hot-- .just think of me when you put yours on then, hows that? :-) Kitchen duty...better get it done..wont clean by itself, *sigh* and these kids won't help!!! lol... Y'all have a good one now y'hear? luv ya..and thanks...:-) Always, Lois.*** . May God Bless you today, I'm so honored to call you friend, I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again...
