~Hectic Day~

What a hectic day.. I mean it is amazing..lol.. the man came to check out my power chair, I am hoping I can get an upgrade to one that raises up..and they said will recline.. Just the raising up will be such a treat.. I hope I can get one.. The man said they will have to take this one and see if it can be fixed, and if it cant then they will suggest and recommend that I get a new one..and one that raises up.. I sure hope so.. He checked the charger and said its bad, so thats one of the problems. I told him all the things that are wrong with this one, that it has never been programmed, he said THAT is NOT a good thing. I told him how it does the bursts of power and that it scares me to be in it, since I dont know when it will do this. It turns out Ive only had this 4 yrs..I got it when I moved in here in 2002.. so thats 4 yrs..not 5.. so I may not be able to get a upgrade ..they say every 5...I sure hope I can..to be up higher to do stuff in the kitchen what a treat.. So keep your fingers crossed.... THEN.. I called my Drs. office..this is good.. I talk to a girl there, told her what the Dr said 2 weeks ago about having a nurse come, for the blood work etc, and this girl says..well YOU will have to set all this up..we dont do that..and she gave me the phone number to call ..well of course there was a answering thing on it..and I had to leave a message..well I got upset and downright MAD,, I called my insurance lady, Deborah..that knows me..and told her what was going on..that they wanted ME to do all the work to set up a nurse..and I had NO idea who to call or how to go about it..Well she says "let me handle it Lois, I will take care of it".. a few minutes later the phone rings and its the Drs. office trying to cover their mistake and trying to make them selves look good.. They are NOW making all the arrange- ments that they should have made 2 weeks ago..I wonder how the doctor is going to feel about this since she wanted the blood tests done back then~!~ But hell..if Im going to do all this girls work there in that office well then give me her pay if she has no idea what shes doing.. This is just what I mean..they make excuses to cover their mistakes and mishandling of patients..What if this had been something really really serious which with Blood Pressure you never know..and they didnt do their job ..this could have been some thing very life threatening.. thank goodness it isnt, but what if I had really Needed to be monitored very carefully? Other than that.. I dont feel too bad today, this did get me upset..I was well VERY upset.. but Im better now.. Raelynn went to the store for me today and re stocked every thing for me and the boys. She is so nice to me..and I really enjoy her company as well, we get along really good, and the boys..specially Dutch love her..LB does too in his own way..hes such a Garfield..he is.. I should have named him that..lol.. Dutch is having a problem lately with his litter box ..he sits in the doorway ( its in the bathroom) and stares at it.. I have NO idea why..like ..hes just not sure whether to get in it or not..lol.. he does thank goodness but I just dont understand why he stares at it like he does..silly kid lol.. Rain all day today and I sure can tell it.. I do think this neurontin may help take the edge off some of the phantoms..It does not stop it by any means.. They are still there and my legs still feel short and cramped..but the stabbing pains I have not noticed like i had before. My feet still feel like I am on my tip toes..and they still feel cramped and smushed up as well.. I dont see a real change in that other than perhaps its not as severe..but the phantoms are still there..I am reminded EVERY day that they are..and I honestly dont think there will ever be a time when the phantoms will disappear.. maybe they will get less severe..but I honestly dont think they will stop.. I wish they would..but from all ive been told..they never go away.. not for any reason... Well its that time to race Dutch out to the kitchen.. he never gets nuthin when we race I think he just likes to see if he can beat me .. rotten child.. lol.. naaaah.. hes a good boy.. I got them some Pounce treats today and I will give them some when I get out there. they deserve a treat once in a while too..just like me!! lol. And we ALL love them treats..LOL.. time to say Nitey Nite... Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv ya.. and thanks.. :-) Always, Lois **** God Bless you is my prayer today, I'm so honored to call you "friend"; I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again....
