Amputee life before and after...

Thursday, May 11, 2006

~OhOh..I'm LATE!!~ :-)

It is such a gloomy blah day here today, and I
sure feel it.. My feet have been on their toes all
day long and just feel like they are going to
explode there is so much pressure.. I honestly
think the weather has something to do with it..It
only stands to reason arthritis would set into the
bone since it was just sawed in half - the flat end
of it tells that.. Its a very strange feeling to be
able to do that.

To feel a full leg you dont feel the end of any bones
well your toes..but its not the same feeling..As the
muscles have deteriorated and become so very
soft, when I lift my stump you can almost see the
flat end of the bone, as the muscle would fall below
it. I can run my finger around the end of my leg bone
and feel the whole thing..Its very unusual feeling..
I remember when I would bump my shin ..well the
middle of my lower leg, when I had them, and where
the bone is closest to the surface..but its still not
the same sort of feeling as being able to trace the
shape of the whole top leg bone..The movement is
still as thought it were still long.. I get asked that
many many times.

Has the amputation lessened the movement of my
stump.? .well leg..and NO- it moves even more rapidly
I think than it when it was a full leg. I can tap it very
fast..I think the shortness of it is why...less to move!!
The whole lower part is gone..so less weight..and
well, I can just do a fine little bit of tappin now, let me
hear a good song..a good old Rock & Roll or one of
my very best favorites a polka..or some ragtime piano..
I can sure tap these babies right to the tune of a good
song.. get this chair to movin' too you know lol.. I
LOVE music, and one of my very best things to do was
dance.

I used to go to a bar about maybe 20 miles..or a half
hour ride from my house, when my ex (2nd) was gone
for a week end..or when he went away on a
construction job.I didnt really drink, I had to have one
to keep on the table, but I was interested in dancing.
They had a live band, and most of them were really
good..Was called Bud's Bar,it had a great dance floor
and I spent EVERY song on it just about..well if there
was someone I knew to dance with. They had a cook,
they shut the kitchen down at 10 pm..the band quit at
2am, well he was a gay man..and the sweetest person.
We had the best time together and talk about a dancing
fool!!! He & I would dance till our feet almost would fall
off ..we had a great time...He sure was a great dancer.
He also had access to the fridge after the bar closed.lol
yesss and WAS the COOK...he made some wonderful
stuff for us when everyone finally left, usually he did the
closing and shut down..and I would sit and keep him
company and Of COURSE EAT lol I LOVED to dance
and I LOVE music. THAT will never change either..I
still LOVE shoes :-) I do..I enjoy looking at them ..I
wore the highest Spikes I could..Loved them :-) I liked
dressing up and looking good to go to work. I dress up
every day and come to work at this computer :-) arent
you just glad??? I havent said in a while..but I am SO
pleased to read the daily comments. I am so grateful
that you take the time to let me know..It sure means
alot to me.. I like knowing its read and where every
one is from. I feel like I have friends all over the world
I like knowing its read..and links to me are out there.
makes me feel kinda special...as though my 2 cents
here is really a pretty good thing :-)

Well back to the dancing note..Im gonna dance this
chair ...yup..3 guesses..right out to that kitchen and
find something..Lunch? well lets just avoid THAT subject
you DONT wanna know..I could REALLY describe that
ICK .would be a good word.. lol.. or CRAP I love that

"CRAP!" love that guy..Raymond? well I will avoid
THAT subject too!!! Just in case he reads this HAHA,

    My dearest Lois!
    I am not a great dancer (musicians seldom are), but you make me feel like i wanna dance with you. And mentally we does, i often think of you when i listen to some tunes.... And in my mind you dont need to dress up, i prefer you nekkid! : )
    Well to tell you the thruth i prefer you in any state, you cute woman. And what an intresting insight in your leglessness (what a word!), the thought of feelin the boneend...Intresting, and the thoyght of feelin things you dont have, nearly spiritistic...
    Love to read about you, and love you too.......
    Kisses all over dearest!
