~Im MAD~
Hectic day today..I mean I thought I was going to totally explode
a few times.. I cannot believe the trouble I am having getting my
power chair up and running! I told them I cannot risk a heart attack
trying to fight being able to maneuver in my home because some
one isnt doing their job..meaning the paperwork, just pushing it
aside and promising to get to it later..and never do..I bet I made
6 calls today about this chair..I shouldnt have to do this to be able
to have my chair usable..Sure I have my manual..but Its so bloomin
HARD to get around on this carpet..How hard is it to send some
one ..let them say "the lady needs the chair replaced" and its
done! no..3 months..August this started too! I dunno..but some
one better do something pretty soon...I'm MAD..:-(
I called the landlord about the windows again and to remind him
to fill out the paperwork so the grant will start-if he wants his rent
he needs to..If he would fill out this stuff, Que said I could maybe
get the 400 I paid back! I could get that freezer I need or put it
towards a washer dryer which probly would be the best thing to
do..Its a tough decision which to do first lol. I reminded Chris
about the windows again too.The draft is awful.. He promised
he would "get to it"..I told him I have no doubt he will, but I sure
would like it to be sometime in the near future.I called my boy-
asked Donnie to come over.. he did ..I knew he would .. I didnt
even have to bribe him with food! lol..I did give him some nice
roast beef tho and some chocolate candy, hes a chocoholic, he
fixed my window..pushed the top back up taped it all around..
then went and taped up this vent in the kitchen..that he said was
wide open he could see out side! so he got the good trusty
DUCT TAPE..and fixed that too.. I told him..every time he sees
my name on his caller ID I bet his first thoughts are 'what does
she want NOW !' lol..and honestly I sure wouldnt blame him..He
commented on how nice its lookin tho..said I am really working
hard .. Hes a good kid..one of the best..
The girl that delivers lunch today ..came in and looked at me..
and bless her heart was afraid to ask she said.."what happened
to your legs?" I explained it to her..she was so nice..her first
words to me were.."well you SURE do good, taking care of your
self, living alone , your doing great." Now how sweet is that? I
thanked her and told her not to be afraid to ask questions..that
that was the only way you will learn what you dont know.. I tell
everyone ..you want to know anything about this weeble and how
I live, or cope with this life..just ASK..I will tell you just how much
FUN I am having.. lol.. No when you dont know or understand..thats
the only way to find an answer ..ask..most will tell you..me..I would
rather you come up to me and ask what happened than sit across
a room from me stealing glances or looking at me with that look
on your face of "wonder what happened to her" well come and
ask me Its not a big deal..they were only LEGS, so now theyre
gone..if you want to know how it feels inside outside or all around.
I do NOT mind telling you at all, got questions? ASK... :-)
I write this blog..for me..for my friends and I think to maybe let it
out just what this life is really like..lots of us all face this differently
I didnt really realize that today..until I read a story..about a girl
and her reaction to her leg loss..and I felt so bad for her ..the bad
thoughts she had of what will i do..who will want me.. Well for me
I think my main conern was NOT who was going to want me or
desire me again so much as "what are ya gonna do now girlie?"
as far as living and surviving.a job.what? that was MY main
concern.How was I gonna drive..get anywhere ..get a job..LIVE.
not what man is going to see me as beautiful..or desire me. I
hate to be mean. but THAT was not my concern at all..I wont
say it hasnt come up.I have thought it lots of times when all these
5 years Ive been a dak and I have invited devs here to meet me
and NOT but TWO have come here... I have no idea why.. but well
my life doesnt stop because i cannot find a mate..and I am not real
sure I want one. I mean 3 times I tried that. But I think a companion
to come and visit and to spend time with.. that would be nice ..very
nice. but..if that doesnt happen well I still am ticking and my life is
going on.. and Its not that bad. I have fun..i do.. I laugh alot..and I
have tons of friends that know I love em.. and well I am ok, this will
do..but if my knight finds me and wants to carry me off well- I may
go! lol.. No- whos to know what is ahead..and I dont wanna know..
surprise me..lol let me tell you I have had MY share and i think 2
other people's share too of surprises lol..Ahh life is good..it is.
i love it, its all good :-)
Im warm and I am happy..i gave my boys a little extra treat and
they are purrin kitties.. all curled up one on the couch and one on
the back of the recliner..guess whos where? lol..ohh an meowmeow
is on the floor in front of the recliner..we are all here and accounted
for..its 7 pm and I know where my children are..I wonder why that
commercial sticks ? at 10 pm on tv. it would come on .."its 10 pm.
do you know where your children are?" i think of that alot.. I know
where mine are right over there not far from me, be nice if all kids
were this close to their moms.. well time for me to send some mail,
get some tea and go and watch tv with my pillows, we are all
'snug as bugs in a rug'..Nitey nite. :-)

Hi Mary..
Such a big difference I can feel it already..they get the other one done..and I bet this will be easy to heat..
Home Aides are hard to find, they dont pay them enough for what they do ..they are so valuable..yet not valued enuff by the agencies to get the pay they deserve..they get 8 out of almost 15 that is alloted to the agencies that use them..just not right.. I only just found that out.. I wish I could pay her myself.but I cant..shes worth so much more..they all are..its really sad ..
Hope all is ok by you Mary..I think Im going to put up some Christmas stuff this year -- you know in 4 years ..this is the first time I feel like really it MAY be Christmas..and Santa has already given me my presents :-)
Nite Mary..sweet dreams my friend..
Always, Lois ****

Hi, Honey,
Bless your dear heart - you are SOOO positive and up-beat and feisty, you are an example yo us all. I agree with the lass who delivers your meals, "well you SURE do good, taking care of yourself, living alone, you're doing great."
Take care, Hon, "Nil illigitimo carburundum". Lots of love and G.B.H. from

That's great that your place is buttoned up better. I hope that you are toasty warm.
I can imagine that a younger person who is not used to adult responsibilities might be more worried about the opposite sex than practical realities. Of course that is sad because so many men would not find amputation a barrier to attraction at all.
That Donnie is the best!

Hi Gray,
Yes, I dont see what age would have to do with the feeling of acceptance..Young or old..still would be on your mind..We are all different.. thank goodness and all react differently .. I have been meeting challenges since the day I was born.. maybe only as far as a birthmark.. but perhaps that makes this easier for me to see above the physical beauty to the practical. Like your friend because she works in a all male environment feels a prosthetic makes her more acceptable..this is her..we are all accepting in different ways..we have no choice..I just felt so sad..that she felt that way. but until we ask we dont know how someone really feels do we? Im just glad we are all one of a kind.. could you handle 2 of me? lolol.. luv ya..
Ya, Donnies my boy. hes a doll.. never lets me down.. Of course the chocolate candy and roast beef did lure him a bit! lol.. Just kidding lol... :-)
Have a good day..
Always, Lois ****
