~Feeble Weeble~

Well...today started at 430 am..I made coffee and
on the way back in here carrying it..yup... I hit
my chair..it tipped..and missed me..but ALL over
the floor..WHY do I DO THAT??? I get SO tired
of making these messes that I HAVE to clean up
for being a CLUTZ...(that word will mess up Europe)
Hehehe..ok..ummm...FEEBLE? lol..GAWD how do
I come up with these names.?? A FEEBLE WEEBLE.
I think I need a nap lol.. Been a long day... But, I did
really make a mess.. I could have left it for Raelynn
she was due not much later..I didnt make coffee till
like 9 or so..but she does really good..and I hate to
over load her..she is just so nice, I should maybe not
say that cuz every time I do then they leave.. :-( ANY
WAY...


Raelynn, I asked very nicely, if she would, clean my
old wheel chair..then I will go into it..and let her do
this one..Neither of them have been cleaned and I
have tried..but to keep bending to do each spoke on
2 sides is not easy..there are 10 spokes on each
wheel..and I either have to do it sitting in the chair
or from off the bed or couch, but still involves turning
the wheel and bending in half to reach it all..ITs not
easy but if I dont keep up on it..they get ugly looking
when I spill and it splashes. stuff sticks to it..like fuzz
or dust or cat hair.. But she agreed to do it for me and
knew it would not be easy for me to do..She did a good
job it looks good, this one is next. I did not hear from the
W/C people today as to when they would be coming..
these brakes need fixed too..I showed Raelynn she said
they are too flexible..just a light touch and the handle
moves..thats not good...I wonder if this is just a bad
chair? I have complained about it since day one..and
it is exactly like my old one except for the black turning
wheel I call it. It may need recalled.

Rainy, gloomy day today and I sure know it..These 2
stumps are throbbing, these invisible feet feel like
they are at full attention standing on my toes..my foot
is so arched it really hurts and there is such a big
pressure that I feel like they could just explode. It
amazes me that I feel this and there is just no way
to even describe the feelings OR that I feel REAL
pain...I dont understand it..but I sure know this bad
feeling and it has not lessened since day one in fact
it has gotten worse if anything...there is never a let
up not that I have ever felt one..its the last thing I
feel at night and the first thing I feel when I wake
up...PAIN...not a fun thing..gets very old...something
I for one dont think I will ever get used to...

I got up so early and I am super tired tonight, why I
am late to post..My get up and go just got up and
went on me it seems. I tried to get it to let me know
when it was moving but It didnt lol.. Im not hungry
tonite again..surprising hey? nope..just a soda I
think will be plenty...I will roll out there in my clean
chair..and CAREFULLY bring my soda in here and
watch tv for awhile. Time to hit the publish button
and say nitey nite.. :-)...

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...

    When I get tired or frustrated I get accident prone. When I have a minor accident like bumping into a shelf etc. I go take a nap to calm down and then clean up any mess after a 1 hour nap.

    Morning Momar,,Yes I do too..then it goes into chain reaction and it turns into a major thing..I have to get it up if I dont and it dries or whatever then its even harder to clean up.

    Hope you have a good day and all turns out well for you.. :-)

    Morning Gray..yes she is very thoughtful and most considerate. I met her sister, she stopped by and she is so nice, they both are.. I am almost afraid to say anything for fear she leave too..I really like her, she takes good care of me and is most wiling to do so, means alot to me..

    Hope you have a good day today.. :-)

    Dear Lois,
    Bet it's easier in the old chair, isn't it? I think that was the one you mentioned as being an easier wheeler than the new one? Hope the brakes work well on that old one, too.
    I'm sad about the pain. No, I don't think anyone ever gets used to it. But, like they say, what can't be cured must be endured. And still you remain so wonderfully up-beat, bless your dear heart.
    Take care, hon. Lots of love and hugs from
    Raife
