Amputee life before and after...

~Got It AGAIN~!~

Guess what we woke to again? I had heard on the TV last
nite that we were sposta get more snow but I didn't hear
how much..Its been snowing all day I took that photo at
8:30 this morning and it was really bad out and its not let
up at all.. Penny said the roads werent too bad on her way
here but I bet by the time she went home at noon they were
getting there. If the temperature drops it will be really cold,
and that will make the wet roads super bad. You can see
how slushy it was this am.
You can see the parking lot of that garage across the
street, they must be very good as that parking lot stays
full..I know that's not the employees cars they park on
the other side of the building. All those cars are their
customers..They work on all kinds of cars.. Im glad they
arent as noisey as the guy that lives in that orange house
up in that top photo..I wish he would hurry up and get that
cutlass fixed or what ever hes gonna do with it.. Its so
loud when he starts it up it makes me jump, and the boys
run..they have NO idea what that loud rumbling noise is.
Theyre big scaredy cats :-)
I took a picture of this blue gel. Its the best I could do.
But you can see its called SECURA, by Smith &
Nephew..And it is just that ... protective ointment. I am
still amazed at how it has made that ugly scar on my
left stump look so much better! it really does.. I had put
it on to just sort of moisten it as it was very dry, then would
crack and that kept it constantly agitated, The nurse gave
me some ointment, clear stuff, to put on it..but it did not do
one thing..and this blue gel..I could tell a difference over
night.. What I like is that if I have a really sore spot that is
giving me all kinds of grief this will take the pain away in
just a few seconds..Its great stuff. I am so glad they still
had it over there..It was so funny to hear Heather's voice
again..she and I got along pretty good, and I asked her
did she remember me..her "Oh YEAHHHH" reply let me
know she really did.. :-) Friday I will have Penny go and get
a couple tubes so I can send it to Mary and another friend
I know will really benefit from it.. Its not expensive at all..In
fact I bet postage will be more than the cream. but that's
the way it usually is..


Ive been seriously thinking of moving and am starting to look
and take my time.. I have been listening to our governor, and
there will be a lot of my benefits cut and I don't have that many
now. I heard that my hours I am allowed for home care will be
cut, and that some of my other benefits will be as well.. I don't
have but 10 hrs a week now and that is really not enough. I
know there are some other states that are not in the financial
stress this one is in..I am going to start looking, I knew when
I moved in that I only had 3 years here,so I may as well start
to look and hope I can find a better place with a higher
quality of life, and maybe a house that is better suited for me.
One that I can get around in..and maybe if my hearts desire
comes true it will be on a river, or lake. I have been considering
Illinois. I Have heard many good things about it and that the
benefits there are very very good. Moving again would be a
buggar but then I have to do what I have to. If I have that big
yard sale this summer then maybe I can save the money
from it to save and use towards a move to a new and better
place...

Well its almost supper time, and its still nasty as can be out,
I hope the kids were careful on their drives home from work.
Kelli started her 2nd job, I worry about her, she is just like
her dad though.. energy to burn.. I think I will make my self
a nice roast beef and Swiss sandwich, grilled of course. I
love those things.. I may put some sauteed onions on it
as well.. I don't like raw onion..but I love it cooked.. My
sammich doth call..and I'm starved.."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..

    Dearest dear one, my honeydear!
    If you are planning to move, well move to a beautiful city then.... Move to New Orleans, thats a town i am gonna visit before i close my eyes finally.... And if you moved there, i most certainly would do all that stands in my power to go there.... AND FINALLY MEET THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS. That would surely be something, but as i dont know how it wud be for you to live there........ Hmmm, mebbe you better move to Sweden, THAT would be more than perfect. I think it wud be even for you... In sweden we take care of our disabled citizens, most people talk english and we are friendly. The standard of houses and apartments are high. And the infrastructure as roads and streets and access to public buildings and buses and so on, is perfect....
    And then theres me!
    Not much but atleast something... We cud afford talking evry day, and i cud visit you... Oh, let this be more than a fantasy.
    KAO´s my dear

    Hello Lois
    Well I took Becky back to the doc today because of her sore again, the doctor said to use Milk of Magnesia three day a day on it...I have always used it for burns...then one of Becky staff said they had to use it on there baby to clean it bottom up with, they could not use diaper wipes at all.
    Time will tell if it works for Becky...If i get a sore I will try it out too just to see what happen.
    I know it works on burn...been there lot of times.
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary

    I was driving across Indiana one year when it snowed on my birthday April 20th. If you move around the US. you should find out if the SSI or SSD varies from county to county. In NYC The SSI or SSD payments are very high. Again it is 23:45h or almost midnight and I am tired again

    Dear Rob,
    I have heard Sweden is a lovely place..I have seen photos..and it would be very nice if we could see each other and enjoy each others company as often as possible..

    New Orleans is/was ? a wonderful city and they are working hard to restore it after that hurricane. I dont know if I wanna contend with hurricanes.. WE have tornados that I wish we didnt, altho with hurricanes they do get more warning.

    Bon Jour Robert,
    Yes expect much snow..It was bad..today now is all rain and iccky..Spring will come..we have faith :-D

    Hi Mary,
    Ive not heard of that either..But that could work I guess..Penny will be here tomorrow and I will get some of this in the mail to you..I am sure they hellhome will sell me a couple tubes..I will let you know..If they do I will gladly send..and I have no doubt that it will help.. If she sits on any kind of wrinkle that will cause a bad spot to start.. I cant have ANY kind of wrinkle under me as It will make a really sore spot..Its hard when you have to sit all the time..sure isnt a fun thing.. I hope Becky gets this spot cleared up..

    Hi Momar,
    The best way to tell the weather is to just look out the window..The way the weather is changing all over the world that is the best way sometimes..

    Hope you are well and the new house is coming along...

    Y'all have a good nite..take care! :-D
    Always, Lois ****
