Amputee life before and after...

~Castrophe Day~

Only one week left in this month.. I dunno but these months
are seeming to be flying by..and I don't know where the
time is going.. Had a major catastrophe today.. The toilet
was leaking..then it stopped up and I had a bathroom floor
full of water.. I called Chris and had told him was leaking ,,
then I flushed it.. and well the whole floor got drenched as
it really started to leak and then overflowed~!!!! I saw that
water start heading toward the heat register and I didn't
know what to do.. That cant be a good thing if that water
runs down there ~!~ And to make matters worse..ya...of
all times for a toilet to act up..well...I have had a horrible
upset stomach the past 2 days, I don't know if its from
the pills or what..but this is NOT a good time for my
potty to break down... So Chris came, not Kenny that
put it in.. I figured something fell down the drain when
they changed it.. or its because like I said last nite its
such a much smaller toilet, I dont use alot of toilet paper,
Im very fussy , I keep those baby wipee things in there
for me..theyre alot better for you and keep you cleaner,
so I was surprised when chris said it was clogged up..
I know it was leaking from around the connector at the
tank before all this.. That bowl filled up and Im watching
that water run towards that furnace vent..and I mean
all I was imagaining was that light going out on that gas
furnace and the gas leaking and this place being blown
sky high... Talk about Drama..

I called Dawn as Donnie called this afternoon and said
she would be coming by this evening, she answered the
phone and I asked her if she had a plunger and would
she come over..she and Donnie both came right away
and she helped me to clean up the water and the mess
Good thing she brought the plunger cuz Chris sure didn't
bring one.the boys wouldn't go into the bathroom and
wade thru the water so by the time that all was cleaned
up they were about ready to explode just like I was !!!
Then Im sposta avoid stress~~!!!! this is like a story
out of ripleys believe it or not I think ..

Donnie was so glad to be out of the yard as he put it..
He said now he knew how excited the dog was when they
took him off some where. :-) We all talked for a while
and every 3 or 4 minutes Donnie would say, "ok, I'm
ready for a ride before dark, lets go", Dawn and I just
kept on talking .. He kept saying that till Dawn finally
got up and said lets go too and he was ready..He was
tired of looking at the same yard, lake, trees and house
for the past 2 weeks.. Hes not good when he's confined,
and plus being crippled hes not good at that..

THEN to make matters even worse.. I decided I had no
choice to but to break down and balance my ickky book
as I call my checkbook.. I knew better..specially when I
am already stressed out.. but like a big dummy I did ..
Well first I was only 1.00 off ..I thought wow..that's not
too bad! well rat poots.. ya.. I had the little dot in the
wrong spot..move it over 2 spots..100. I looked at it
and I started to laugh and took my ickky book and put
it right back into the drawer and I am NOT looking at
it again until monday..I had enough for one day..this
could wait :-)

So anyway it was exciting day and I didn't get a nap,
and Im tired.. Im not hungry either so Im just gonna
go and watch TV ..I hope this potty is fixed, This is so
tiring :-) something steady falling apart, well as long
as its not me I guess its ok.."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..

    Hi, Honey,
    You know how frustrated you get over things you can't do? Well, I get frustrated, too, being a pretty good D.I.Y. man and not being there to help my Fav. Weeble. I bet I could sort that potty out real good, if only there wasn't that blooming Pond between you & me!! ;o(
    I just hope to-day has been better for you. Take care, Hon. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from

    Hiya Raife,
    I know. Ive seen your handy work, you could get this place fixed just right.. well how good a swimmer are you? Or you think I could get shipped over there? lol. Its getting old here let me tell ya lol. j

    Someone like me shouldnt live in a place that really isnt suited for them..specially one with not patience lol. I get so mad sometimes I have sit and count to a 1000 a dozen times. If I scream too loud I scare the cats :-D .. lol..
    Hope you had a good day.. Nice to hear from you .. :-)
    Always, Lois ****

    YUCK! I'd rather use a Porta-Potty at Woodstock than what you seem to have going for you! UGH!

    I hope that you either find some little elves to fix your place or else can find a better place to stay and leave that junk house behind for a good spanking with a wrecking-ball!

    Cheers!

    Hi AJ,
    Im going to start looking but will have to be a HUD house..I just cant do an apt.. Im hoping I could find a bigger house and then share it with someone and they could help me.. I would still have my caregiver..but in exchange for low rent help me cook etc..and for company too.. I would like that, plus might come a time I need someone more often.. Im looking and I had thought about putting an ad in the paper.. I dont care where itis as long as its better suited for me, I have time..and I keep nagging Chris he will eventually get this place fixed.. Id love a nice big house.. be great..and on the water? yesss be great..:-)
    Have a good evening.. :-)
    Always, Lois ****
