Amputee life before and after...

~Another Chris

This morning I did something I havent done in a long while..
I don't like when I do.. But.. I woke up in a really bad mood. I
was glad it was Saturday and that I didn't have to deal with
anything and I wont have to till Tuesday since Monday is a
holiday here.. I have been going over and over this ..not just
the house stuff, but my Dr as well.. I got a couple phone calls
yesterday that just added fuel to the fire so to speak.. One
from Keystone, they are sending some one named Chris..
of all names... to look over the house, which is really Lori's
job but since she wont be back until the 10th they HAVE to
have it done NOW , oh..and Lori didn't know about this before
she left.. I was/ am automatically on guard.. that doesn't make
sense.. And she said that they have to do this inspection
once a YEAR, because of the grant.. well if the house for some
reason then doesn't pass would that person lose the grant?
Also.. I havent been in here a year yet.. my rent receipt that I
had to send via fax that Que didn't send..was dated Oct.1st..
I wonder if this a way to check on Lori's work? Well she will
be here wed..at 9..Penny will be back to work wed at 9, I
have a drs appointment wed at 1.. and company coming
wed at 4.. I think Wednesday will be a busy day.. The best
part of it will be the COMPANY!! :-)

Well . I went to see my Dr on the 16 of aug..she, Julie, said she
thought I should have a home nurse and put it into my chart..note
the date... Yesterday, 31, about 5 a call from Deborah from my
insurance company.. She says "Lois..how are you? We just got
asked for authorization for you to have a home nurse..I got it just
a few minutes ago.. I don't remember who you had before.." I
said " you only JUST got this today?" the reply was YES.. Now..
WHAT is wrong with this picture? I was to have the nurse to keep
a close check on my blood pressure since my monitor was broke
and to watch with the increase of my med.. I would have thought
that was maybe URGENT? not..what 3 weeks later? I am not
very happy with my Dr. This isnt the first time.. I think to solve THIS
problem ... I need to find another one.. one more concerned.. and
it may be the nurses don't like me.. which should have NO bearing..
but..some are like that.. so maybe would be smart to change..now
while I still can... that would solve a big stress for me.. Maybe I
can find a Dr. that I would see the same one every time..
Deborah said the same thing..as to why it took my Drs office and
these referrer people to take so long to do this.. I don't think I even
need a home nurse now.. I have a monitor now.. I can take my own.
I will call and find out Tuesday. I have to get the number for the
Dr I have to see Wednesday, I am going to change it to another
day.. Earlier in the morning.. Im not good in the afternoon.. The
lady that was checking about my complaint never did call me back
either.. Oh.. and STILL no word from Chris, Kenny OR Ken.. this
is MY point!! game..set..match.. I think that's how it goes... I know
my neck is sore from watching this pathetic match between me
and them..going back and forth like they do..

I really hate when these depressions get to me.. I know I am not the
only one.. Ive talked to so many other amputees..and they get this
way too.. I guess it cant really be helped to feel this.. things just get
so out of hand and out of what seems to be the control of our lives.
Like I have nothing to say about anything.. I have to do what I am
told or I will do with out.. Ive NEVER lived like this.. I was always so
able to go and do ..and fix things.. I think we all feel this way.. that
we have just been so cut down.. and made I guess useless.. some
days that is how I really feel..useless.. like just WHAT purpose am I
serving.. am I really necessary.. and honestly sometimes I don't
like my answers.. but Im honest with my self..

I know I am the only one can fix anything.. and some times this stuff
just cant be fixed.. The Dr stuff can..this house stuff can.. the health
stuff can be improved..not fixed..that cant happen.. the damage is
done for me. I just have to roll back I guess and get it all into a place
where I can see it all and deal with it.. I know I will have to move..this
place with no maintenance ..well lets say the KIND of maintenance ..
the house wont last long.. its not in good shape at all.. I have one year
to go on this grant where I will get help.. I think I need to look for a
HUD house..and get into that.. I would be better security wise.. With
the attitude Chris has that this is his place and he can do whatever
he wants..that's not a good thing..I don't like that.. not counting how
undependable they are.. . I just have to get started on a plan of
attack and stick to it.. I need to do this while I still can..


LB is sick now.. Dutch is better, still not his happy self..I am worried
about LB tho.. he NEVER gets sick.. I cannot imagine what could
have done this.. Penny only uses water on the floor..we don't get it
dirty..and she vacuums. all the time.. I just have NO idea.. I hope
it doesn't get worse..or I will just have to find a way to get them to a
vet.. I have NO idea how..but..well maybe Becky will help me.. I cant
let them suffer..

My arm is still very sore..and the rash is itchy and red still.. the elbow
isnt swollen that I can tell.. but I still cant put any pressure or weight
on the end of it.. I really think its because I bump it so much..well my
elbows stick out like wings you know? when you use the wheels..your
elbows auto matically stick out..notice sometimes.. like a big duck..
:-) sometimes that's how I feel too! .. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE
needs to just watch TV, log off this puter..call my boys- see if they
will lay with their mom..they will.. they love me . "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.....

    Logistics - the science of the intermesh of things, people and time. I have a first cousin who joined the peace corps when she got out of college. She drove a bus from East Bengal to Katmandu, Nepal. All her life she worked in Logistics. Now she is retired and plays golf out in Arizona. Anger raises your BP so keep kool.
