~Good Day Again~


Well today was a pretty good day, I got some emails
from friends I hadnt heard from in a while.. and then this
morning I read the comments on here and one was from
my Honeygirl..my sweet niece Beverly.. She is my sisters
daughter..lovely girl.. she doesn't live real far maybe a
couple hours drive, not real sure.. And she corrected me
thank goodness on the name of the Casino over here by
the lake.. and it is FOUR WINDS CASINO RESORT.. Its
a huge place..and she won too when she went! very
encouraging.. I told her the next time she and her husband
go they need to take ME with them :-)... I am going to go I
have decided that even if I have to go by myself...

I had lots of company today too..just like yesterday..Theresa
came from CMH.. Heidi was supposed to today too but she
called and put off till tomorrow.. Theresa is such a sweet girl..
well woman.. So pretty.. She brought me some FRESH
HOMEGROWN TOMATOES!!! 5 of them!! I am so pleased!
I already ate one at lunch :-) talk about good .. MMM I ate
every bit of it.. 3 guesses what I am having for supper...:-)
We had such a nice visit.. she is like Lori was , she takes her
shoes off puts her feet up and sits Indian style on the couch..
She seems to really enjoy her visits here.. She says that any
way.. She enjoys talking to me and says I even encourage
her.. She says she doesn't see too many that have such a
good attitude about such a horrible thing happening to them..
And like I told her and everyone.. well at least I am still alive,
that is the main thing.. no matter what is taken from my body,
I am still me..alive and even kicking invisibly.. well you cant
just whine and boo hoo all the time..she knows I have bad days
she can even tell when something is wrong.. Today she said
I looked really nice.. and that made me feel good..

She gave me the tomatoes and just before she left I commented
about the cute silver & blue earrings she had on.. Lovely things..
very delicate but shiney and nice.. pierced too. She said a girl
she knows makes them and sells them for only $2.oo a pair..
and they are really pretty.. As she gets up to leave she is standing
there saying bye and letting me know she will be back on the 11th
as she has some meeting or something in 2 weeks.. so anyway
she reaches up..takes 1 earring out then the other and hands them
to me!!! How sweet. I told her I cant take her earrings.. she still
insisted I take them and needless to say they are in my ears right
now.. and I have a blue top on..and print skirt..with blue in it of
course, I HAVE to match.. and the earrings look great with this..
Im all dressed up and no date.. now .. aint something wrong with
this picture???

Then my other visitor today was my nurse.. my blood pressure was
186/ 100 ... kinda high again.. she was concerned.. She asked about
my Dr. visit.. shes so nice..her name is Tracy...and I told her all the
details..and showed her the pills... Oh..if you ever have to take these
pills.. I had to take 5 today, 4 tomorrow..well DO NOT let these little
pills hit your tongue.. talk about NASTY atsting ohh wow.. they are
AWFUL.. I drank I bet a whole 16 ounce bottle of Kool Aid and DiD
NOT get rid of the taste... Iccky things.. She suggested a new Dr.
that she is pretty sure taking new patients.. since I did tell her some
of the trouble I have been having at the clinic..with the nurses there
not doing their job and the fact that the last 4 times I went I saw a
different doctor.. I really don't like that at all.. This new doctor is a
woman named Glendora Green. and she is taking new patients
from what Tracy said.. I think I am going to see If I can go to see
her.. I am going to call Deborah at HPM..my insurance and see
if there would be any problem with that.. for payment reasons .. I
sure cant afford a Dr bill. So I will check that out tomorrow...see
whats what.. and maybe I can have 1 steady doctor.. not that im
sick but well I would feel less neglected by them I have now..

Well time for some tomatoes.. a nice sandwich or maybe just
diced in a bowl with some Mayo on them..salt and pepper of
course.. not a lot of salt..Im not a salt person. I may have to
drink another bottle of Kool Aid tho I can still taste those nasty
pills.. ick.. Donald didn't make it last nite and hopefully will be
here soon too.. Wonder if he will bring the dog.. I may have to
put the cat food up..he eats every bit of it..:-) talk about 2 mad
cats when that dog leaves.. they sit and stare at their empty
bowls..look at me like I DID IT.. I guess cuz I let the dog in that
I am the culprit..they mellow a bit when I refil them for them -
kids.. just such spoiled boys.. but theyre worth it..

Time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to say "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya.. and thanks 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.....

    Lois that the only way to get Pam back home is to treat her to something...and sometimes it hard to fine the right treat to get her to move...sometimes it bring tear to my eyes before I fine what will work. I am still trying to fine answer for Pam...I think Pam has Neuropathy in her legs, going to the Dr Monday and see what she say...but I know Pam will not let them do the testing either...why does she have to have this problem too...My friend Patsy husband has this problem, at times it make me so sick to see his legs...and to think Pam legs could look like that. I don't know if I could stand that to see her in that shape.

    Tonite, I went to a concert at the NY-Austrian Cultural center. I knew 2 of the performers and the conductor. They served wine afterwards. They build a new building on the site of an old brownstone - and it combines exhibition space and a concert hall. It is on East 52nd st. - a really ritzie nabe.

    Hi, Honey,
    Well, bless Theresa's dear, kind heart - what a sweetheart. Mind you, if anyone deserves a bit of spoiling, it's you. You are SO positive. You've helped me through a bad patch, Bless you, and I'm sure you've helped many others.
    Take care, Honey, L.O.L. & G.B.H. from

    Hi again Mary,
    Yes, I know about neuropathy, I had that too.. for almost a year before I lost my legs I was in a chair, I had no power in my legs. My sister has the same thing..she uses a chair most of the time.. I am seriously worried, shes a diabetic, im not..

    Hi Momar,
    Oh my I bet that was great.. I LOVE music, its one thing I know lifts me up when im down, those good toe tappers, make even my invisible ones do a few taps :-)

    Good Morning Raife,
    Im glad I could help, always have to think of the positive, thats what helps you keep looking up...
    Hope you have a good day :-)

    So nice to hear from y'all.. makes my day.. :-)

    Always, Lois ****
