~Knee Wheeler?~

I was talking today to my sister.. she went to work today. I told
her I would think she would stay home.. She and my brother in
law have their own company and she does all the office work. It
is a small business.. She had just gotten home and was out of
breath from trying to get around, she Had to go as she is the
only one that worked in the office and HAD no choice but to go.

She has her right leg in a cast up to just below her knee

she said. and they rented a wheel chair and also a little

cart type thing that she can kneel on and move about,

which I had not ever heard of but then thinking what a

neat little transporter, alot better than crutches , they

were so hard on the armpits and my sis is not any more

graceful than I was when I tried to use them. They didnt

offer me that little kneeler..I bet it works great....

She got to telling me.. that she was having trouble and

such a hard time to get around.. when she uses that

kneeler it really wears her out as she does have weak

legs, so she uses the wheelchair to go all the way down

the hall to the bathroom...She proceeded to tell me how

hard a time she was having trying to maneuver around

in there to do her business.. I had to laugh.. as she told

me how she lost her balance trying to turn around to

sit etc and as she almost fell she tore the towel rack

off the wall and the toilet paper holder trying to find

something to grab...I can just see her. We laughed so hard.

and she says..." you have no idea how hard it is to do,

to maneuver in there"..Then she stops..and we both

laugh again.. I said "yessss i dooooo" and she then

realized what she had said.. and instantly felt kinda bad.

and said "ohhh I'm sorry , of course you know" I laughed

and told her.. "well I hope you are wearing SILK PANTIES.

now you KNOW why I wanted them so bad dont you?"

She and I both had a good laff over that..She said for

Stanleys punishment for NOT fixing the ramp she made

him go to the store and buy her some silk ones .. LOL...

Then we really laughed. if you knew Stan that was a worst

punishment than anything she could possibly have done

to him..he was NOT into going and buying ladies undies.

We had a good laugh today at each other :-)

We talked for quite a while and she told me how she now

realizes a bit more of what I have to do and the major

adjustments I have had to make to be able to live alone.

She said she has Stan there and Candis that wait on her

hand and foot and how they help her in and out of the

car.. etc.. She said "how do you live there alone, are you

ever afraid?" I got to thinking about it.. and told her, no

not really only when I come close to falling or have no way

to contact anyone, like when the phone went out for 2

days.. She said "I dont think I could do it" ...well .. you

KNOW what I told her I am sure... "well if I can ,, so can you"

there is a keyword...I told her and just a small one.. but

the word is TRY..and you will be amazed at what inner

strength you really have. Its hard sometimes..but not totally

impossible...

I did get some kind of news that was interesting today tho

that I wasnt even aware of.. When I applied for my SSI I

was NOT an amputee yet. I got my SSI based on my heart

and blindness, carpal tunnel etc. The man said I needed to

update my claim and perhaps be re-evaluated and there

may perhaps be a change in my benefits which would be

more.. I have been this way for 5 years..now..and they

were not really aware of the drastic change that was added

to me.. So I am anxious to find out what this new added

information will provide.. When I called the man that sent

the form he was so very nice, and even said he hoped I

would phone to question this..and said to be very specific

in this re evaluation.. and I could hear where he was telling

me this may possibly be a good thing..My sister when I

told her, said I could possibly get even 5 years of back

benefits that I should have gotten. which would be an

added blessing. Now isnt THIS wonderful??? I have very

high hopes..Perhaps my lifestyle could greatly improve..

and hmmm I could try out some of that good food for

sale on QVC ...:-) no just kidding lol..well maybe I would

splurge one time :-)

I am feeling better today I KNOW y'all HAVE to be happy

I bet you are sick of reading that I feel bad.. HELL i got

tired of writing it LOL...I did try not to whine too bad tho..

but we all got to whine to somebody once in a while dont we,

no matter what age we are ..:-)

Well Miss Whiney Weeble is off to watch tv, and I think

another ham and cheese , grilled of course.. I love them..

Penny got me some great bread just like homemade

I wish I could reach my bread maker and I could make

my own.. I could put it on the TV tray which is lower but

it so NOT stable..and I would hate for Dutch , my nosey

boy to knock it over..and get hurt. have to be careful

when you have SUPER nosey kids.. And Dutch is SO

nosey. anything I have in my hands he has to see..As

I write this I have to steady push my keyboard back over

as he is using it for a pillow and pushing it to my left...lol

he absolutely refuses to move his head even when I push

it back..lol..kids...I will be so glad when i have more room

on this desk for these 2 cats and my computer...

Y'all have a good one now y'hear ? LUV YA!!! & 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...
