~Chair Guy Came~ :-)

Today the guy, John, came from a new medical supply place

up in Grand Rapids, about an hour away, he was in a chair too.

He came about my power chair. He looked mine over and

agreed there was something drastically wrong..it would not

come on at all..He measured the doors and this chair..and

asked a lot of questions.. filled out all sorts of paperwork. and

then said.." it can take anywhere from 8 to 16 WEEKS" I

did not say a word, other than "well lets hope sooner, since

most of the paperwork should be already done" He smiled

and said he would do his best..he understood, which I'm

sure he did.. I found the paperwork on my chair..I got it in

may 2002, and the cost was $6212.00 .. a lot of money.

They wont repair it..he said that.. It will be a new one..just

no guarantee it will be a lifter upper kind.. :-)

He told me what he thought would be the best chair for me,

and that one that rose up would benefit me greatly.. He did

not promise the insurance would agree. if not it would be

like I have but better. The seat looks like the seat of a plush

car. I asked for black..it goes with everything, he asked what

color I wanted and a lighter color- no..for me? I need dark..

He said it would have a tip away arm, and be fully pushable

disengaged and can be folded up and taken along..It looks

more like one of those on TV where mine now is more a

wheel chair type look..I like this new look and I KNOW I will

really like it if it can go higher..That will make a big difference.

John must have stayed for 2 hours at least..and hes very nice.

I never did ask why he is in a chair..he folded his right over top

of his left to hold his laptop there and when he wrote he used

his leg as a desk.. He had to lift it up I noticed..I didn't see a

brace or anything..and his chair was one with out arms and

the wheels slightly bent..more a racing style..he drove up in a

nice van..he said he had this job for 4 months now..I give him

a lot of credit..He said he was glad there was no snow. and

he said "your ramp is very sturdy, im a lot heavier than you

and there was no give at all" He was a big guy.. so that's nice

to know..

I got yesterdays paper and there was no mention of my ramp

in the paper so I guess it wasn't news worthy enough..or will

be in at some other time..but I would have thought within a

day or so of the happening lol.. Those nice guys deserve the

recognition and their company does ..so does Home Depot..

I may call and ask that girl..if and when she does put it in the

paper to let me know..lol..

That picture up top..is that a spoiled kittie? laying on my mink,

looking out the window.. poor baby just has it so rough.. I do

spoil them ..the mink cape is what I use over my legs when it

was so drafty in here. Dutch finds it no matter where it is he

loves to lay on it. Its so soft and warm ..who can blame him

hes a smart cat lol..he looked so spoiled I had to take a picture

of him.. I tried to get one of LB..it was so funny..When he looks

for his girl friend he meows till he finds her..then he drags her

off or brings her by me most of the time.. This morning she was

out by the food dish..Well he dragged her in here and I can

hear him next to me..then got quiet and I looked down and hes

just laying there next to her his arm over her..so cute by the

time I got the cam on he was gone lol.. I will get him yet lol.

I saw that I laughed so hard, he just fell over, the look on his
face, I swear he was smiling contentedly...lol what a strange

lot we are lol..

I was sitting here while John was filling out all the paper work

and waiting for him to finish, I noticed how my toes felt..my

big toe on my left food actually really hurts. Like an ice pick is

being jabbed into it..only that toe. . I notice that if I really think

hard.. I can feel each toe move..I can make them all kind of

bend under.. know what I mean? its so weird..both feet I notice

for a long time now..that they don't hang like they did when they

were there..they seem to tippy toed..and with pressure to stay

that way, and I have to push hard to get my foot flat.. . but I can..

This is so amazing ... and its really hard to explain..my mind

has NO idea ..that they are gone.. They feel not normal..but

they feel THERE..

Would you believe I got one more bill in the mail? yup..GAS!

like I don't have that already .. sorry lolol...its 139.41 . its

because the deposit is included of 65.oo ..the bill its self wasn't

that much..less than what my budget is going to be when its

approved.. They send it all at once..and with the bloomin bank

statement ..THATS whats the kicker..I was really going to try

to work on my checkbook and when I thought about it I got

a headache right up in my right eye brow..and my good eye

started to twitch..and I just could NOT do my checkbook.. lol

well that's my story anyway .. I will tomorrow. I have to.. there

are some things I am hoping Penny can find that I need when

she goes to get my prescriptions filled..We cant find the

camera she used to take the pictures of the house.. Its gone.

I think I brought my ghost with me..which is ok..but he better

behave and not take stuff ..like he did at the other place ..We

NEVER found my teeth you know..not anywhere.. I am going to

get them and soon.. Im tired of soft food.. I havent eaten pop

corn in over a year! that's almost blasphemy lol..

The spoiled child woke me at 5:30 this morning and I never

did get to watch TV .. I did turn it on though.. maybe tonite I

can.. lol ..ya that's another one of my stories lol 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..
