~I Am So Tired~

Im really tired today for some reason.. I don't really know

why.. I slept later today even, till 7:30.. as this day as gone

on.. I have gotten more and more tired..that's why I am

posting this early.. I am going to lay it down and see if I

can get these two stumps of mine to calm down.. Ive noticed

that when I get really tired, as in BONE tired, my stumps

will ache and throb and feel like they are 20 times bigger and

ready to explode.. The pressure is amazing.. I steady shift

my weight and not a lot will help.. I was sitting here a while

back comparing how they each felt..and my left..the foot was

hurting so bad , for something to NOT be there and hurt like

that just is sometimes hard to deal with.. No matter what I do

sometimes nothing will ease it up.. We had a bad storm last

nite and I know when the weather is crappy they hurt..moreso

than normal.. why this pressure seems to build in them I have

NO IDEA.. I know I don't like it at all..

Penny was here and has me all clean and squeaky for the next

few days... She thinks her sister may want to buy this recliner

chair I have.. Its still in great shape just needs some cat damage

repair..and Kathy has some ladies that live with her that could

use it.. Kathy is Pennys sister and she runs an Adult Foster Care

home here.. Very nice place..and Kathy takes very good care

of them.. This chair would be nice for some of them there.. I hope

she does take it.then I can move my machine in here and fix all

the skirts I need to hem..and all the other stuff I want to make..

not counting the extra money from selling it...

I had ordered a treat for myself..that I saw in a catalog..and the

price was really cheap.. and I couldn't pass it up..the material

alone is worth it.. What it is..is like a pants suit.. its LEOPARD

SATIN.. its got the jacket..but comes with PANTS.. well this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE..you KNOW does NOT do pants.. So..

I am going to make them into a skirt..very easy to do.. I think it

will be wonderful..with a black satin blouse under it? I think it

would look really nice..Be perfect to wear over to that casino

over by the lake.. I may take some photos just to show I have

worn pants as a DAK.. I honestly don't know how some can

wear pants all the time.. specially those spandex kind...

Even with legs those things are hard to pull up..From what I have

learned tho..the tightness of them makes your stumps feel better,

which sounds logical.. But to get them down and off when you have

"special things to do" well I know my self..MANY MANY times I

have been MORE than grateful that I have had a skirt on and

could just lift and "go" :-)... But I know many amputees wear

pants..Even when I had legs.. I wore mostly Dresses or skirts.

most of the time.. when I worked as a sewer i wore skirts then,

but pants on some jobs are better to wear, most of the jobs I

have had I could wear dressier clothes which I liked to do..

I said this was going to be an early post and a short one.. I

am just tired..tired .. tired.. Im gonna get a snack and a bottle

of Kool aid and try to watch tv..fluff my pillows, snuggle my

butt down into my bed..and repeat this same day tomorrow

when I get up.. I don't mind repeats..Im grateful I can get up

and do anything..repeated or not :-) "Nitey Nite"

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

ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,
