Amputee life before and after...

Saturday, June 03, 2006

~TIME~

Would you look at the date? June? Ummm, I think only last week was
March? lol.. Time sure flies when your having fun I guess.. It goes to
show you just how fast time just does go...There are only 6 months left
to this whole year already. Soon I'll say "well I won't let Christmas
sneak up on me this year and then when its sneaked up on me and
caught me unprepared and Im saying in January "what Happened?"
I can look back to this post..and say "Hmmmm..I was RIGHT!!! " :-)


I honestly think the longer we live the more we realize just how fast the
time really does go.. When I was a young girl..I couldnt wait till I got
older and could do all I wanted..go where I wanted..and just do anything.
I did- I travelled, I married 3..yes 3 times.. all were so different... I dont
regret having married that many times.. I doubt very seriously if I will
ever remarry again, but then again I said that after my first marriage lol.
and 2 more later I am saying that again, maybe I shouldnt say that hey?
Well its a good thing we don't know whats ahead, I think if we did it
would NOT be a good thing cuz then most of us would be dragged thru
our lives saying "I AINT GOING THERE!" trying to dig our feet in and
stay at only the good times...But sadly..I think we have to have some of
the way hard..if its too easy well kinda takes the excitement out I would
think be kinda boring. At least I can say my life certainly has NOT been
boring, I think If I told every little thing no one, would believe that it
was MY life. I think back and shake my head-kinda smiling and thinking
to my self.."well geezz I did make it..well whadda ya know." I surprised
myself!!! :-)

Today the phantom has eased and boy, I am so GLAD..I bet if I said
once yesterday I said it a dozen times.. if that leg wasnt cut of I would
have cut it off thats how aggravating and painful that was. In all these
4 years I have NEVER had phantoms as bad as I did yesterday.. Makes
me wonder though, you think that maybe something in the stump could
cause that? maybe a bad spot inside it or something.? Maybe a nerve is
pinched or something, that is making what is called a referred pain? Its
so amazing at how phantoms really feel..well they hurt..but I sit here
feeling this..and look at there is just NO way that there is anything that
can hurt.so I have to be NUTZ. lol. or gradually losing it maybe ok ok
dont say it... "hon, I hate to tell you, but you lost it a LONG time ago"
I said it for you haha.. :-D

I try to describe how my invisible legs feel and it just surprises me at all
the many different things I can feel in them, specially my feet.they go all
sorts of deformed ways that if they were there they could only do that
if they were broken..well the ankles mainly.. my invisible feet go in so
many directions its really odd. and the feeling of the pressure of them
doesnt seem possible. When I reach down to touch them and feel nothing
yet the pain is there my mind does like a retake..and seems to just ignore
the fact that I cant FEEL with my hands..the FEEL is in my head. Hard
to describe..and WHY anyone would want to feel this..well..they'll find out
wont they just HOW much fun this is..I still think about that show..really
kinda bugged me...but to each his/her own..

Ive been a little down since Richard posted his Gran... my Dear Friend
Judy has passed. She died on May 10 in case you dont read comments.
She was a special friend.well ALL my friends are VERY special to me.
If I lose one for what ever reason. I feel so very bad, because I do,
.I value every one of them..well with out all my friends and their
encouragement I couldnt do this . well maybe I could but I would be so
very lonely.. I will miss Judy..she was a Native American and such a
lovely soul.we bonded as soon as we each wrote, I sure will miss her..
Richard, her grandson would read my weblog to her. what a sweet thing
to do. and then to let me know she was gone..ment alot to me.. and if
you are reading this Richard..thank you, you were a good grandson, and
I think your Gran knew it and loved you dearly...

Its hard to lose friends and when someone has written to me for a long
time and then just stops.. I worry about them and wonder what happend
and if I did something or said something that hurt them..to make them
not want to write to me anymore..which I hope I havent.but you know.
I do have a tendency to get nosey lol.. I do.. I ask alot of questions and
then I forget cuz I dont take notes. I know.I should do that too.
*sigh* :-)

Well the note Im taking now is one out to the kitchen to post on the fridge
that I NEED FOOD ... Today has just zipped past me and I have NO idea
where it went, I was going to make some spaghetti sauce and didnt even
get to that!!! Hmmm lazy lazy... I have a kittie named Dutch sitting here
looking at me, and then he looks at the time.. he knows.. KITCHEN TIME
I usually give the boys a treat when I go out there in the evening..well they
need treats.. I do..I have some little cherry tartlets that MMMM super good.
ok.. Im done for tonite..you can go now.. im done writing..
"and every one said AMEN!!!!" Nitey Nite!!! :-D

Y'all have a good one Y'hear? Luv ya & Thanks my Dear Friends.. :-)
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...

    Dearest Lois!
    Dont you marry again, until i am free to marry you!
    And this pain you have i can have an idea of how it feels....I have pain in my heel, and it burns, like hell. But i cant put grease on it to relive the pain cause this is on the inside, but burns on the outside...Oh its hell-like.
    But i hope all is good just now with my dearest little Lois.

    Pain anywhere is SO not good... I used to have pain in my heels from arthritis.. back in 92 i was told by my dr. that within 10 years I would be in a wheel chair..she was right, but for the wrong reasons...
    It has eased up .. sure was awful... worst ever. Thanks again hon :-)
    Always, Lois****

    Dear Lois,
    Come and join the clan!! I've got Sciatica. There is an inflamed nerve in my back, but it tells me there is a pain all down my left leg and specially in my foot - goes numb after I've stood on it for a while. Bet if you chopped my left leg off, I would still get that pain. I suppose you haven't put a disc in your back out, have you? All that bending about, getting un-trapped the other day could well have done it.
    Certainly, you are not going round the twist - yet!!
    I'm lucky, I suppose, I don't get any phantom pain where my right eye used to be. The Paisley pattern that I used to see in it has disappeared, too, after all these years. "They" could be right, maybe those phantoms will abate over the years. Let's hope that was a "last fling" your phantoms just had!
    Take care, hon, lots of love and hugs from
    Raife. XOX XOX XOX

    Morning Raife,
    I never used to have back problems untill all this started so it more'n likely is all connected. Plus only being able to lay on my back 90% of the time when I sleep and only sitting, well doesnt help either. Heck of a club hey? lol...
    Hope your having a good day :-)
    Always, Lois****

    I had to call the police Saturday to report a theft or perhaps it is misplaced. Anyhow, I am missing a decade or two. I called the police and they suggested that I look and see if the memories from the missing decade may have gotten lost or buried accidently in my back yard.
