~Nice Fish~

I told the story about the taco box last nite and thought I

would put this picture here of Donnie and a Northern Pike

he caught.- Nice fish hey? I've seen bigger than this.. I am

not sure what size this one is..but I know the one I got was

32 inches..David had it mounted and to this day claims it

as his..which I dont care..I know I caught it..he did help put

it in the boat.. I remember him yelling "oh my GOD Lois, Its

TOO big for the net"..as he lifts that thing out of the water..

Looked HUGE. I KNOW how sore my arm was fighting

that thing for over half an hour..IN and OUT.. lol.. was fun

tho, I got tired half way thru and asked David to take the

pole and get it for me..Was a fight let me tell you..But I
have caught bigger.. a hammerhead shark down in

Galveston...

You know..most of the places I knew and remember-..I
bet I could still get to- even now in this chair..We always

fished from shore..and sat in lawn chairs..they were the

same size as this..Only times might be hard is on a river

bank..if the bank is steep..then that wouldnt be possible

unless I was carried and as steep as some were well

be easier and safer to just get a truck with a hoist thingie

and lower me over the side..hehe be cute..or a crane..

swing out and over and lower me down lol..I proably

would go too..I could easily get on Donnies pontoon its

the same level as the dock, Donnie made sure of that

after his dad fell once getting on it..He made sure that

NEVER happened again..I could get on that or any

pontoon for that matterin this chair..take the tables out

and there is alot of open space in them. I loved to ride

in that pontoon slow at sunset down the river..was so

pretty and nice to do on a hot summer night . music

playing..stop and fish off and on..was great..

Ive been asked a few times what I weigh and that is NOT

a nice question to ask a lady..If Im being a smarty and tell

you to guess you better be careful what you say lol.. No

quite honestly, I dont know ..I havent been weighed since

I left the hell home..That was a kinda scarey procedure..

they put you in a sling type thing..then swung you out over

the floor from your chair or bed or where ever they put

you on it from..Your suspended up in the air just hanging

there thinking 'if that strap breaks ...' knowing how hard

that floor is in there..I hit it at least 3 times I fell out of my

chair in there face first..it sure wakes you up real fast

makes you say a few swear words too ~!~ Thought I

broke my nose one time..then once they put that seat

belt on me..well I went and pulled that chair right behind

me..the handle hit me in the back of the head made me

see stars..They took that off real fast..I got hit TWICE!

once was bad enough... But I really dont know how much

I weigh..I can only guestimate....too much? :-) lol... No no

just right I'm GORGEOUS remember? :-)

I look at my thighs and they are bigger, but is it from a

weight gain or lack of use, like I would get from walking on

them and keeping the muscles firm? I dont know..Probably

I would say- both...and there is just no way I can exercise

them enough to equal the use they got when all my leg was

there and I walked...I do exercise them when I lay on the bed.

I was told when I was in the nursing home by that gorgeous

PT guy there, to make sure I laid very flat at least once a day

for a while ..which I do..and then depending how tired I am

I lift and move my stumps around..but that in no way still

could or would be equal to walking.. I sound like such an

expert dont I? lol..well ya I guess I am..Im living it so that

makes me one since I do know first hand lol.. :-) I dont see

any decrease in the amount of movement I have in them

and they move..well just like they did when the rest was

there..so..they move great and that helps when I have to

scoot on my bed..then I dont have to depend on my arms

to pull or push me I dont get on the ends but I still use them

to help move me..believe me I need all the extra help I

can get moving me around lol.. :-D...

Well Im gonna move me right out to the kitchen. see what I

can find..I dont know what I want..I had NO idea when I got

here what I was going to write about .. and well here this is..

what..4 paragraphs down? ..so I musta thought of something

hey? :-) its any good..let me know . lol..Im rolling to food land..

Nitey Nite...

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya and thanks !

Always, Lois****
