~Todays Outing~

Well there you see this GORGEOUS WEEBLE.. getting

into the COA van..Curtis is backing me up into it.. its easier

than going in frontways.. Was beautiful day.. the van was

out in front of the house in the street..just in front of me

was the sidewalk..This is one of their newer vans..its very

nice and air conditioned too :-) Penny took the photo. I

told Penny we have to document my outing since many

think I never go anywhere..see? im fixing to roll..well ok

the van is :-D
Im in side the van, there are straps and seat belts.. next to

me is a chair that folds up to make room for wheelchairs..

There are 4 well 5 counting the seat belt..a hook that latches

on to the front and back wheels..to keep it in place.. It can

still tip sideways, which I found out when one of the drivers

once made a sharp turn too fast and my chair tipped sideways.

now that was scarey.. I hold on..I held onto the top of that seat

next to me there.. Penny rode up front with Curtis..
When we got there I was NOT happy when I saw there

were over 30 people there..inside and out. You can see

no one looks happy at all.. When I took my number I was

number 59..Penny was 60.. they called the next number

as we looked for a seat, the number was 25.. and it was

10:30 in the morning when we got there.. There were only

2 women behind the counter to process everyone...I told

Penny I bet some are on coffee breaks.. I was right.. within

20 minutes a man and another woman came out to wait on

people.. That place KNOWs how busy it is.. and people

there with tiny kids..and they just had to wait.. and wait ..

I was so glad when my number was called.. I rolled as fast

as I could..

I have to say..when someone in a wheelchair rolls past a lot

of people that are bored and tired..well I was stared at..which

I don't care.. I just smiled and said. " well aint this a nice way

to spend a Monday morning " and rolled around till I found a

chair for Penny to sit in.. I said very loudly " Boy am I GLAD

I COME with a CHAIR!!!.. I have fun saying that in a room
full of people been standing a long time. a few as I looked at them

smiled.... there was a man propped up against a wall..and

he said " you wouldn't happen to have room on that chair

for 2 would ya?" I laffed and so did everyone in there :-D

I told him he would have to sit on the arm rest , my lap wasn't

big enough to let him sit on it.. he really laffed at that..
Penny and I got our stuff done and as you see we are headed

back home..It was a great ride there and back as Curtis took

all the back roads..and that's what I enjoy.. .
Penny brought me some inpatients today..she found the box in

the back by the flower bed there, and planted them ..The box

just fits on the railing on the top of the ramp..soon they will be

just beautiful.. You can see my little porch.. its nice.

I got a phone call from my insurance today about my power

chair..Deborah called about it ..told me a new company called

R & R will be coming to measure etc..the lady called and she

will be here tomorrow about 2 or 3..I told Deborah about having

to go back to the Dr. again..that really makes me mad..I cannot

see why my Dr. cant just write a prescription for me to get my

chair.. when I go Wednesday that is the ONLY reason I am

going.. I will not allow them to take pulse..temp..BP or nothing

that is NOT why I am there.. I am so mad about this.. does this

Dr. Johnson not know amputated legs don't grow back?? I

honestly don't know what her problem is.. but I sure plan to find

out when I go on wed.. no one in that office will be very happy

by the time I leave there.. this really eats my lunch not to mention

makes me furious!! this is uncalled for.. I told Deborah.. I better

get my chair or I am going to find a lawyer.. this isnt right.. a

YEAR?? to get my power chair replaced? that's not right.. and

the bad thing is..those that CAN help DONT.. well I better get

my chair..and if I can find a lawyer I still may sue them all..this

isnt right.. I cant go out of my house alone, not without a power

chair.. and the bad part is..the ones sposta care..my Dr.. the

insurance people..they don't.. and there isnt a lot I can do..but

I bet I get a lawyer and sue them for this abuse and neglect..they

wont do it to anyone else ~!~ So, who knows a lawyer??

Even though that crap made me so stinking mad..it wasn't too

bad a day..my boys were so mad when I got back..they wouldn't

even come to me..they still wont.. little buggars.. they have a

temper as bad as mine.. we are a hell of a bunch here ill tell ya..

Im starved..by the time we got home was 1:30 and I had mail to

do and soothe my angry boys..so I didn't eat..ive got a little TV

dinner in the freezer and that's gonna be my dinner..then TV.

and of course..I KNOW I will hit that sleep button on that clicker.

I call my TV remote my clicker..my sister calls it a channel

changer..which it is.. but clicker is easier :-) I remember my

mom loved this Carmel popcorn that you can buy called Fiddle

Faddle..my mom called it Faddle Daddle :-).. "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..
