~DeskRest~

This is our Desk Rest.. I asked my Dr.if I HAD to go home to BED

rest. she looked at me and said "your on the puter aint ya?" I

smiled and said that I most definitely was..as that's where all my

friends live.. I have to be there ..they are my company other than

my boys". She made me promise I would only take one..and

then get to bed earlier and get more time in bed relaxing and just

not doing anything but watching tv..well. I laughed and told her

some of the stuff ive seen on TV lately stresses me out..so many

saying "look how good I was..what I did"..and the news.. I don't

really watch a lot of that just for that reason..I like certain shows.

Im sick of all the crime shows..I think some of what some people

are willing to do for money .well I don't think I could. but I do like

the animal planet..and travel channel, well I did- I cant get that

channel anymore..but I like some of the cooking shows. I don't

like the ones that make all that fancy stuff I would never make

and the ones where the women are flipping hair and look anorexic

either..theres a southern lady that's really good like that old guy

Wilson.hes not on anymore. he GAR ON TEED lol.. that is

my boy Dutch.. LB is loving but hes the one sleeps between my

stumps.. Dutch likes up under my chin.and likes if I touch him

when he sleeps..LB is not a hands on kittie.he likes petted , yes,

but when he wants it..and its his terms.. lol...kids..

I woke up this morning later than I have been getting up though.
7:30.. but I was up twice ..not out of bed, once I had to move

and change positions..my hip and right stump were just throbbing.

I guess I had laid wrong for too long.. When that happens ..some

times TOO often . I lay there and start to do stump exercises.. I

will kinda lay on my side and lift my stump up and down and

raise it to the side and up.. I move ,, not easily, to my other side

and do the same. I lay on my back and lift each together ..then I

do each one alone.. If my hip or back or stumps are hurting I find

this really helps me.. I found that even puttin my hand on the ends

to tell my head.."HEYYY, theres NO leg.." it doesn't help cuz it

refuses to accept it and I still feel it.. The exercises help..I think

it gets the blood moving again..after laying for a few hours in one

position .

I did get a surprise..I called Sandra at the Adult Protective services

that is my case worker.. I told her by me not having the safety things

I need that she said were going to be delivered 6 weeks ago..that

was abuse..and that was HER job to protect me..and she was

inflicting abuse on me by setting me aside..I know she has other

clients..but are we not ALL important.? and I feel..that finish ONE

job..then start another.. I phoned on Monday and got the things the

next day? that made me glad ..yes very..but also a tad upset..she

could have done this 6 weeks ago when she said she was..and I

could have avoided that stress and a lot of calls to her that she

never returned. She didn't think about the fact that many have more

than ONE issue that is causing them problems.. like me.. I got

some of my stuff..My toidy is now safe, and what a relief. I am

very happy with that..:-)

The man brought a chair like frame he has anchored to the toilet

onto the screws that hold the toilet seat lid on..It makes me feel SO

much safer and so good I cant even begin to say how much better I

feel.. I have a new shower thingie ..that will make taking a shower

so very much easier..but..from putting this on. we found out that the

nozzle is not working right as the amount of water that is coming out

of the faucet is too much and not shutting off to put the water up to

the shower nozzle, so .. that needs replaced.. I did call Chris and

tell him and also reminded him about the toilet.. I will wait to see if

he calls..

Lunch today was..well I have no idea.so when Penny went to do

laundry she stopped at my favorite sandwich place, Arbys of course.

They have a Rubin.. Boy is IT GOOD!!! ive not had one before..

Its on Marble Rye bread. with cheese, corned beef and sauerkraut.

talk about good? oh yeah I mean excellent, I enjoyed that..I highly

recommend it.. sadly they don't make the onion peels any more . I

only found out the had..but quit.. they do have those good curly fries

though and they are great. Was a kinda hectic day..and I am going

to bed early..I didn't get one of those desk rests today.. DO NOT

Look at how crappy I look lol. I was tired..Dutch does this each time

I take a deskrest..so I thought be cute to kinda take a few pics of him

hes a good kid and loves his mom..shows hey? lol

its that time to keep my promise and head to bed..so that means

its 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
