~Photos of My Ramp!~ :-)
I promised photos of my beautiful ramps, here they are.
As my front door opens.. You see the first ramp..it goes
From the front door to the porch door..the door opens
from right to left swinging out.. Its a little steep but not
bad, by myself I probably would have a hard time with
nothing to hold on to to pull my self back in.. I havent
gone out on the porch to see if I can go over to the sides..
I didn't have time today so.. I don't plan to sit out there till

You can see where they extended the left side a bit
to allow the door to open wider which was very good
thinking , right there up to where you see the side rail
start is a flat area..and if you look to the right..you can
see the top of the mailbox where they moved it.. I
can go out and get my own mail now..well if I had my
power chair I would. Even though the steepness of the
ramp doesn't look like it would be hard to go up..trust
me it is..very hard.. I almost wish there was a side rail
by the inside ramp but then it would interfere with my
porch sitting..well maybe not if I just use the one side to
sit on.. But you see how nice it is.. I had to wait for Penny
to be here to take them its just too hard for me by myself..
You can see how nice and wide it is..and it goes all the way
down to the side walk..from there to the road..there is no side
walk on this side of the street along the west side of the house,
there is out here this faces south..and theres a side walk..
but why not on the side? I have no idea why..strange
there is on the other side..and a little farther down on this side
I saw there was..it just quit..lol..was a nice sunny day today too.
You can see how kinda close it is to the road..lol..

I do have to go to sturgis..I have to get my ID..so I may
be using it for that..and I really do want to go to Home Depot.
I honestly think that should be my first stop. I may just make
arrangements for that on Friday call and see when I can get
a ride there.. Sturgis is..hmm I don't know how far in miles..I
know it takes maybe half hour to get there - Maybe lol..Anyways,
theres my new ramps..beautiful hey? im very pleased..my sis will
love it. :-)

My case worker from APS, Sandy, came this morning..she is
so pretty ..beautiful woman..shes one of those that smiles with
her whole face you know what I mean? Lol.. Anyway she got a
few more hours for me. A whole 1 more hour a week.. I now
get 40 hours and 8 minutes a month for home care..pitiful hey?
that's to do everything..laundry shopping, errands, cooking,
even my personal care! They have it down to minutes..I don't
know who they based their time allotments on but it had to be
a baby doll lol so now I have 10 hours and 2 minutes a week..
Well better than nothing ..Sandy said she is going to make
some calls about my chair.I showed her my hand and explained
to her what I had to do..she said perhaps she could find some
one to pay for the material And labor if I can find someone to
do it.. I have no one that could.. I sure am NOT asking Donald..
no way..that kid is too strung out as it is.. I told her about maybe
getting my money back from the rent I paid so I can pay these
bills..she was going to call about that too.. Tomorrow the wheel
chair guy is due to come here so I am anxious to see where
THAT goes, it better go somewhere I know.. :-)
And where I am going is in there on my bed.. Im tired ..I could
have slept late this morning but had to get up as Penny was
due here at 8 and Sandy got here at 9..Im tired.. I just worked
so hard today, typing is hard to do lol.. :-) Nitey Nite..:-)
Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? luv ya..and Thanks. :-)
Always, Lois ****
Ps.. I did not get a newspaper today..I will get it tomorrow..It
may not be a newsworthy story, the lady at the paper didn't
seem to think was in todays either..so I don't know if it will
be in or not lol..oh well..that's not the point of all this.as long
as I go to Home Depot on my 1st outing..that's what counts.
and I will .. :-)
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..

Hi, Honey,
Those guys certainly did a really good job on that ramp. That is a good, solid job. Couldn't have done it better myself!!! and certainly not so quickly. FREEDOM!!!!!!! ;o)
I guess that it is just about the right slope for that knight in shining armour to ride his horse up to sweep you into his arms and gallop off. Watch for him about sunset time!!! LOL
Thank you for the pics, they are very good.
Take care, Hon. L.O.L & G.B.H. from
Raife

Sunset is my very best favorite time of day, I think he got lost or fell off his mighty stead..lol.. *SIGH*

Holy cow, that looks like a great ramp. Thanks for the photos- it's much easier to understand. Sounds like you were pretty busy yesterday.
Have a good day.

Morning Gray,
Yes, its really a good job..those guys knew their stuff, came prepared and got the job done, they measured and discussed for a while to decide which would be the best and safest for me..
At the very end is a little drop not bad, if I was alone I might have a problem but not in a power chair. I like the side rails..makes me feel safer.. I drove a car just fine..but these chairs..man..Im not that good lol. well I get in a hurry and then run into stuff like doors lol.. :-D
ahhh joys of chair living lol..
Hope you have a good day hon,, take care :-)
Always, Lois ****
