Amputee life before and after...

~Accidents , Accidents~


Last nite after I posted the blog..I was sitting here at my
desk and I had a Icee that Penny had gotten me that I had
just taken out of the freezer..It was slush.. Well..all of a
sudden Dutch comes sliding across it and lands in my lap,
I see my SUPER LARGE Icee fall over and as I try to grab
it going over the top of Dutch it falls on its side..I grabbed my
keyboard and mouse..threw them over on the couch..while I
tried to grab some napkins I always keep in here.. I had
lime green Icee all over ME..my chair..the desk..and even
Dutch was wet.. Do you know what a mess that was to
clean up? I have a green puddle spot on the carpet.. :-(
This icee was Frozen slush..and COLD..It hit my stumps and
it was like I was hit with an electrical shock.. I had this stuff
going every where..the cats RAN..I screamed so loud.. I yelled
at Dutch so bad.. I felt so guilty ..he didn't do it on purpose.was
an accident..and really my own fault.. I put it there.. knowing he
jumps up on the desk like he does..they both do.. I did get so
mad tho.. I really yelled at him..told him all kinds of ugly stuff,
that he was a bad kittie and he wasn't allowed on my desk any
more.. He ran and peeked around the doorway..so pitiful looking.
Which made me feel worse..I did apologize but what a MESS!!!
LB he ran and he hadnt done anything..He hid under the lamp ..
That made me laugh.. That's the hiding spot :-) hes NOT happy
either.. I KNOW what hes thinking.."THAT DAMN KID, ALWAYS
In CRAP!" hes so mad.. I love this photo..its so fun here..:-)


I grabbed the garbage can and tried to scoop and scrape all
the lcee off the desk into it..If you could see how much stuff I
have on my desk you would know.. Wiping and washing off
all my pencils and stuff I have up here was a major time
consuming thing, had to be washed or would be sticky..but
washing still left sticky spots sadly, I mainly was worried about
my keyboard..and of course my computer and monitor..My
first thought.. "PROTECT THE COMPUTER" then I thought
about my keyboard that I had put over on the couch and I
hadnt looked to see how wet it got.. Well.. it was SOAKED..
Lime Icee all over it.. When I laid it on the couch.. I put it bottom
up..what I didn't notice is that part of it was on my mink cape..
When I got the keyboard off it.. I saw where it was wet.. I rinsed
that off right away.. My desk was another story...

It took me hours to wipe every thing off ..I ran out of towels and
so I got wash cloths and then I had to WASH every thing ..Lime
Green Icees are sticky.. I tried to wash my keyboard off ..I had
thought I did good till I looked real close at it a while ago..Shoot,
cat hair sticks to Lime Green Sticky Icees you know.. I have
the prettiest furry keyboard.. :-) My mouse..I washed him off
real good..I thought.. Hes sticking to my mousepad.. I know I
washed all this off really good I thought.. What a ordeal.. Now..
have I learned anything from this little test of my patience and
cleaning skills? YES..NO Drinks by the COMPUTER that are
NOT in a sealed container.. Lois has learned AGAIN :-)

Now..for a 2nd lesson real fast? well we spotted a FLY in here.
Dutch did of course.. He flies up on my desk.. I did let him back
on it.. and hes looking at the ceiling fan.. I have 2 long chains,
one for the light..one for the fan.. I see the fly land on the one
for the light..its longer .. and I find the fly swatter which I keep
under the couch cushion so I know where it is..and I proceed
to slowly move under the chain and get a better view..I have
no depth perception remember.. Im blind in my left eye.. So...
I get up closer, and I take a nice swing with that fly swatter.. I
have 10 foot ceilings in here ..so I had to really reach.. I hit
the chain to the light.!.it flipped up and OVER the fan blade
and around one of the lights .. I sat there and looked at that..
and see? I did it to my self AGAIN!!! can you believe ME??
Lord have mercy.. I use that light every day..in the mornings
its still dark when I get up..So I had to figure a way to get
the chain off the blade and the light up; there.. I had to laugh
at my self.. I cant believe the stuff I do to my own self..

Anyway, I got my grabber.. I reached up..hoping I could reach
it. well you already KNOW the outcome of that.. HELL NO ... I
couldn't reach it!! I had to put my hand on my left arm rest and
lean over that way and push UP at the same time..Then I had
to reach up; with my grabber and try to unhook that chain from
around the fan blade then the light.. I got it off the fan blade..
no problem..when I was going to reach back up to take it off
the light up there, Im blind in my left eye and I have no depth
perception.. yes.. I hit the Bloomin LIGHT BULB...it broke..
fell.. as Im sitting there saying quite a few ugly words..the door
opens and there is Penny.. She says " Lois..what are you
doing..get back..I will clean it up." I told her what happened
and we laughed.. This poor girl never knows what she is
going to walk into when she gets here..she dropped off some
rice krispie treats she made for me on her way to her other
client... :-) Im SO glad she showed up when she did..that
glass would have been a buggar for me to clean I would have
had to get the Beast out..and that pig rules.. I cant use that
thing..I lock down and I swear that vacuum still can push ME
around..instead of ME pushing IT.. :-) Oh, I did NOT get
hit with any glass and we never did get the FLY~~!!! :-)

Today was a day...started last nite.. :-) with the icee..then the
fly ..but Theresa came by..we had a nice chat.. she loves my
tales of what I have been doing..I can make her laugh so hard..
Im glad tho I can.. Then the girl Heidi comes over..shes so
cute.. and I had TOTALLY forgotten both of them were coming
over..but I had VERY good reason to not remember.. :-)

I do remember the way to the kitchen thru all this I havent eaten
ALL day..its been one of those wonderful days in the
GORGEOUS WEEBLE house.. its such fun to live here..:-)
I still havent figured out a name for the tree we should be hangin
in tho.. Macadamia? or Walnut maybe? :-) Food, and out of
this chair. I need out of this chair for today.. I will gladly
get back in it TOMORROW.. just let the rest of this day be good..
"nitey nite" sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite :-)

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.....

    WOW Lois that was a cold shock for sure with that SUPER LARGE ICEE on your lap.....maybe Dutch will think twice before doing it again, it had to be cold on him.
    Love the picture with LB under the lamp, wow now that a great picutre.
    At times like this I am sure glad I don't have cats, just my puppy dogs...and they get into enough trouble.
    I hope Friday will be a great day for you and your boys too.
    God bless you
    Mary
