Well... I have been on a real Phone call tantrum you might say today.. I bet I scared poor Penny, I made..14 phone calls to Sandra, Chris, Ken, Deborah, CMH, APS, my Dr. and to Legal Aid.. now these are not just 1 call..Deborah I talked to her 3 times.. OH..And I called the city water to tell them AGAIN I refuse to pay my landlords water bill and I do NOT appreciate getting dunned for it.. She said she would call Ken. I m NOT paying it. Heres a doozie with my Health Plan ..Deborah.. I asked her just what the status is on my chair..where are we in the progress of it... I went TOTALLY nutz.. She said.."Well. seems the Drs office didn't send the right form..and then the 10 day time limit ran out.. so I called your Dr again to have them RE SEND your stuff AGAIN". So.. you know what this means? Not ONE thing has been processed for me to get my chair.. means no order is in..nothing.. I was told a month ago? be 16 weeks? 4 months.. well since not ONE thing has progressed..I am still on square ONE..now.. I asked Deborah.. "Just WHO'S fault is this that they re NOT sending in the paper work on me, as though this is NOT a matter of emergency?" she had NO answer other than to blame the Dr. said she was going to call..well ok..I called the Dr.. I asked. April.."who is it that is NOT doing their job in handling my paper work?" she had no answer, Ive never talked to her before I know Erica and Sherise.. so. NOW. I am back to before square ONE even on my chair.. I am NOT a happy camper at all.. I actually YELLED at Deborah.. She politely told me she did NOT have to listen to that.. ok.. so I made a call to her supervisor..and of course got HIS voice mail as well.. I will see if HE calls me back.. I did get a call back from Chris.who NOW has denied all he said he would do to fix the house.. I told him about the gap on the door. I reminded him of the things needing done, he made the awful mistake of hanging up on me.. not good..SO.. I called Ken.Dad.the owner of the house.. He said make a list and they would try and see what he could do.. NOW get this..They KNEW from the beginning..that 2, possibly 3 windows needed replaced here.. and MISTAKENLY only ordered ONE Chris said..well..Kenny came to fix the GAP around the door..yes!! he fixed that..and Kenny said.. well we got like 10 windows..but they go to all different places.. huh? and Chris said they ordered ONE? something is smelly in this.. I pointed out to Kenny the walls not finished, the ceiling..the condition of the bathroom floor, the cracked toilet bowl..and I think..that little Kenny maybe said he DID all this..and Chris maybe is covering for his little brother ? thinking well what can she do. probly not thinking I would contact Ken~! I invited Ken here to see this.. I did take pictures too.. THEN Chris says well only PART of your rent is paid by CMH you owe me the balance.. ok fine.. I will pay it..but he agreed to less so I wouldn't have to but I will I will send him a check for the what 3 times 60 ..ok 180.oo I owe him.. make it rough but..well will shut him up on that wont it? I pay my bills.. I take good care of things..and I have rights.. to expect more than what I am getting from these people. Do you think that its because I am in this chair that they feel ..well what can she do? they ARE gonna find out.. I called everyone today and I was so MAD..poor Penny was worried..told me to try to just not let it get to me..but she does understand..shes been witness to all of this..every time she comes here she hears me on the phone..she knows the condition of this place.. I guess was my own fault for wanting to move in.. but I agreed to NOT move my things in here so Chris could get this stuff done..I had to pay extra storage.. So now I have to come up with this extra and pay that huge gas bill ..this is NOT a good month too I think, plus all this stuff I am just so sick of it..And I KNOW y'all are tired of readin' this too lol.. and I apologize..but well, I can write what I wanna lol.. no I hate I do this.and I don't like being ugly to people.. I hate that they MAKE me do this and act like I am a totally deranged woman here..just to get the things I need to live ok, Jeez0pete.. lol.. I want this over.. I had thought of just moving.. but if I said that to Donnie? Oh wow..he would come unglued lol..well I don't think I would especially be too happy about moving either..It aint easy..but I will tell you what give me a place on the river I can afford? well.. just come on..lets go.. I bet I can get this stuff moved lol. I apologize for steady whining about all this crap here but well this IS my daily life..and boy.. like I don't have enough trouble just taking care of myself and the boys and trying to feel good and have just a LIFE..be happy you know? that's all I want just ONE day..of not to worry about paying these bills..or my chair and whether today is the day Im going to fall off the toilet and really hurt my self.. Theres a lot of other stuff I really would rather write about..ok..tomorrow..be story day .. lol. I think I will do that at least once a week..be kinda fun, I will dig out an old photo..and tell the story about it. lol.. good thing I AM the one picking out the photos hey? lol.. Its still cold out but with that stripping and these towels up on the windows, its made a difference.. Well time for me to close this down and go relax and UNWIND from today, I almost blew 3 fuses today.. The total number of calls I made I added them up cuz I took notes on every one I made. I made 18 phone calls and that has made my ear feel NOT so good..and I have a headache.. Im layin it down and am getting out of this chair ..After I get that last dough nut out there, maybe that will make me feel better. :-) Nitey Nite... Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love 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.. | |||

Dear Lois it sound like you had a awful day. So sorry that shouldn't happen to you.
It is Bob birthday today he is 67 years old...I took him out to eat. We did the shopping for the girls today and then we check out the church to see what it needed done. I made a cake for him this evening, had 3 of the grandchildren here. It was a nice quiet night.
Hoping to go to bed early, so much to get done tomorrow.
Our church roof fell in because of the ice storm, hoping to see what all the damages was...It been to much ice to really check it out good...Tuesday going to be close to 60 F...
We still have lot of ice on our roof sure hoping it will melt and slide off and not cave in our roof.
I pray thing will go better for you tomorrow.
God bless you my friend,
Mary

Hi Mary,
I hope there isnt alot of damage to the church roof. That ice and snow can damage so many things..from roofs to roads. Please tell Bob Happy Birthday from me.. and I am so glad you had a nice evening..I KNOW that was good cake too. :-)
Tomorrow will be better, after I posted they informed me I will be supplied with a temporary power chair until I get my new one. ONly problem is it is 2 inches smaller than the one I have. I dont know how well that will work. I had this made intentionally bigger both ways to be able to sit easy and support my stumps fully..I will see..I hope it works.
Sweet dreams Mary, hope tomorrow is a good day for you. Good Nite.. :-)
ALways,Lois ****

I am a landlord and I have a list of 6 thinks to do on the old house, now I also have a crew working on the new house. I have all new double glazed windows in the old house. The new house got a new hot-water heater.
Now you see why I do not like to talk on the phone when it is easy to get a run-around from people. I once had an $800.00 water bill.

Hi,Honey,
That's been quite a day for you, hasn't it? I hope you have managed to prize some of these people off their butts to do a bit to help you for a change, instead of steady obstructing you. Hope they get a chair to you P.D.Q., too.
Take care, Hon. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from

Morning Momar,
I made so many phone calls yesterday by evening I was so wound up my head felt like it was in a vice. No one should have to go through what I am to get people to get me a chair. I dont know who I Have to write to about this but it sure isnt right. Well your not a slum lord Momar like most are . . over 80 houses and cant take care of one? kinda greedy.
Morning Raife,
Today I am not calling anyone they can call me, they better. I dont threaten, I promised them I would get a lawyer, and was asked NOT to by the case manager at Health Plan Of Michigan. They were pretty good, now they arent worth a crap.. and have NO real good excuse either..blame It all on paperwork..
easy out for not doing their jobs..
Hope all is well by you and y'all have a good day :-)
Always, Lois ****

Hi Lois, I'm back from a day of traveling for work and three days cross country skiing with my family. I know from the weather map and your blog that you know how cold it was out there. But we had a great tiome anyway.
I'm sorry about your frustrations with your chair. That all sounds terribly frustrating!
At 8:07 AM, Lois said…
Hi Gray!
Good on ya! glad you had a great week end.. I know you said how busy you have been.. We used to do that too..We all were skiiers..and the family would all go and we would just stop anywhere on the side roads to ski, was great fun till I ran into the trees lol..I wasnt the greatest skiier lol :-) loved to play in the snow though :-D
Yes, it really is Gray, this has just gotten totally out of hand and I dont really know who to go to next to get this kind of crap stopped with all this..Just think of those that wont fight like me? and do just give up..I know how many times I have said "i give up"..but then get mad..and Im ready to fight again lol.. this war path is getting might worn..I need to call in the tribe to help me I guess.. Now..wheres the Chief? lol.. :-D wish I could reach the Chief of the Chippewa Indian Tribe ..I bet if I proved I am..maybe things would be a little different too..
Welcome home! glad your back.. have a good day.
Always, Lois ****

Sure glad some of them call you back Lois, sure hope that get the job done for you... it never should take this long.
I clean off some of that ice from the sidewalk today for a friend, some of it still 3 to 4 iches thick. And very hard in some places, other places it was getting soft. I didn't need a coat to do it either. The air is nice and warm when the sun shining.
Now my back is a little sore again. That will pass in time.
I hope you get plenty of sleep tonight...Mary
At 9:17 PM, Lois said…
Hi Mary,
Some drastic cold..many with no water at all or electric..the city came by to see if I had water, i do..i let my faucets drip, the COA was without power too today..Dawn came over earlier and said its getting really bad, snowing and super cold, I made her call me when she got home. I know she has 4 wheel drive and is used to driving in this but its the others I know are out there and careless.
Be careful out there Mary so you dont slip and fall..ice is slippery. need some spike shoes lol.. Hope you have a nice sleep, Im headed to bed.. I am very tired..bet I dont get up at all..I hope not :-) good night my friend,sweet dreams..
ALways, Lois ****
