Amputee life before and after...

~Stuff's Growin~

Ive been noticing the progress of the leaves outside on the trees
and I even notice leaves coming out on the rose bush here by
the back door and over by the garage.. The leaves are getting
more and more every day.. Under the rose over by the garage
is a huge tree like thing, its getting green, but I have NO idea
what it is.. around the base are some long green leaves coming
up that look as though they may be those day lillies I don't think
they are anything else as the leaves are narrow and slender. I
am anxious to see what comes up..


There is a nice little rose bush by the back door and I can see
some places where it sure needs cut back.. There are dead
roses still on it from last year.. I wish I could get out there and
prune it and plant some morning glories on that fence.. the
flower bed right below the window has stuff growing in it too,
but I cant see what it is.. That would make a nice raised bed.
its triangle shape from the back door to the edge of the fence
and then back to the house.. Its nice size..Some daisies would
look so nice in it.. or over there by the garage.. I love daisies..
they were my mothers favorite .

My favorite flower I think is the rose, and I love the one called
Peace..its a lovely yellow one.. My sister has a rose bush that
has lavender roses on it..its just gorgeous..She has a huge
yard and usually her daughter Bev and grand Amy come over
and fix Shirleys yard for her.. She used to spend hours out
there fixing them all just like I did.. Its amazing how she and
I are so alike.. and not being raised together so I think all
this likeness was planted in each of us when we were thought
of ...She sews and crafts just like I do too..she and I both can
draw..and have a "thing" about clothes..she is worse than me
though..she gets stuff and never even wears them and until
she goes thru her closets she forgets she has them..which is
ok cuz by then shes gotten new again and I get the old stuff..

I did find out about the riding mower out in the yard..It belongs
to Chris.. he said he would come by later today and cut the
rest of the grass..he wondered who had cut it..and if it was
the city and then there was a fine.. He was glad to know that
Robert did it.. He said he would come by and do the rest of
it.. only the back needs it.. That back yard would be a great
spot for a pool.. wishful thinking...I told him I thought someone
had given it to me and told me to cut my own grass...he did
laugh at that... As of 4 oclock he wasn't here yet.. I wonder
if he has another house up for rent that would be more
suited to me? I should ask.. One that is at least ground level
then I could get in and out so much easier..

I made some spaghetti sauce out of that ground meat Donnie
brought me.. Im so glad he remembered.. It smells great.. I
may ask him to help me move my bedroom around so I can
get into my closet.. I think Penny and I could move the bed, its
on wheels..but the TV and dresser I think would be too much..
I could use my tray table and slide the TV on to it..and I bet if
I took the drawers out of that chest I could move that too...I
need to figure out a plan of attack then that way I don't have
to ask Donnie to help me. I will figure something out... But
I do need to move it around..its not working this way.. I will
ask Penny tomorrow she will be here..She called earlier and
was at the Dr with her grand daughter...she felt so bad for
her.. hard when kids get hurt and watch them in misery..and
not a thing you can do..

Well I know what I can do..go and cook some angel hair pasta
and put some of that great sauce over it..and just eat up a
sweat...I know its gonna be good.. I did toast some of my
cinnamon raisen bread..that was real good then I dunked it
in my coffee..that made it even better and not so hard on my
bottom gums.. I am going to get my dentures this summer . I
am so tired of not eating what I want cuz I cant bite it or chew
anything hard..Getting very old.. I miss my popcorn..I loved
that stuff its such a good snack..and very little calories which
I desperately need to keep this GORGEOUS WEEBLE in
tune lol..ok not fat then :-)... "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..

    Hi, Honey,
    Hope you have some Parmesan cheese to grate over that past sauce. It adds a certain je ne sais quoi!! as well as indigestion, if its too late in the evening!!!
    You sure have to plan ahead, don't you? People need to know just how tough it is to have a chair for legs.
    Take care, Honey. L.O.L. & G.B.H. from
    Raife

    If people could think that far ahead,if people that can walk could never set down at all for any reasons. WOW that causes lot of feet problem, but very hard to do other thing too...I am sure thing might be made better for then to get around in...Car would have to be made to stand up in to drive or go any where. and how about the potties chair...

    I got Pam for 16 hours... brough her here for a few hours this afternoon...just checking to see how thing are going here...Pam does not like anything I fixed for Lunch right now...it been a long day all ready...staff call at 5 A.M. to let me know they were sick.
    When I need to work, I know God wants me to know something that wrong in Pam home...And that the only way to fine out what it is. So I can take care of that problem so it won't happen again for a while.
    Just visiting with Pam for a few time a week don't fine the problem...and staff never know it was a problem till you tell them...
    That life when you have staff that work for handicap people or should I say my daughter.
    Pam think she see ants everywhere, or bugs...
    Pam want to go somewhere now... hope to be back on the computer Sunday...Mary

    Hi Mary, Yes, I like all flowers really such lovely things..and the smell of some is just wonderful, When I was in the hellhome mary I saw Yellow ants and dust bunnies..it was from one of the medications they were giving me for depression..or pain I dont know but I sure got mad that those bunnies wouldnt play with me.. lol.. Its got to be so hard on you Mary. Just
    remmeber to take care of YOU too..If you dont you wont be able to take care of anyone else My Dear Friend.. :-)

    Medications might be doing it, Pam does have problem with hallucination for years now...I thought she needed more medication...thank you for letting me know...her seizure and her hallucination all has been changed.
