Amputee life before and after...

~Morning Surprise~ :-)

Well.. don't look at the photo and guess what we got last nite? :-)
Isnt it pretty? its been snowing off and on all day.. The temperature
is steady dropping as I write this its 25 F and -5 C. its cold.. Ive
droped all the blinds. and doesn't do any good to pull the curtains
as they are just lace anyway.. The temperatures are going to steady
drop tonite and it will be the same tomorrow but more snow is
coming..this is going to be a bad week for weather.. I wish I had
remembered to get cat food today but Penny wasn't here Monday
so there was a lot to do plus she tried to find some plastic for the
windows and porch .. She found a stapler..but no plastic..she did
get a snow shovel tho..
On her way to get plastic and a shovel she had to sweep her way
back to her car, so her feet wouldn't get soaking wet and cold..
After she left for the day, Heidi came by about noon... she stayed
for an hour or so and had to leave to go back to the office, she
thinks they might have a file cabinet there..shes going to look...I
really think it would look so much neater here by my desk if I had
one to put all this stuff in that's laying around.
After Heidi and Penny left..well even before Heidi left..my company
was kinda over lapping.. Robert, from COA came by he used the
snow blower, which I was glad, but not expecting and told me he
would put plastic up for me. But I had to get a staple gun and plastic
he wont use his own tools even though he does have a stapler.. So
I have one now that he can use...As soon as I get the plastic he said
to phone and he will come over and put it up...It wont take long..to
just staple up some plastic on that porch..even if he cant get any up
on the windows maybe we can put it inside..no..that wont work..the
boy wont allow that.. I know right now as I just typed that..he would
tear in open just to get into the window..that is why there are NO
curtains on the front bedroom window and the other one parts of the
blind on the right side are broken off from him going in and out of
that window.. the front One..is where they sun themselves. But I
think if I get some heavy curtains.. that may help a lot.. I sleep with
one of my woolbies around my shoulders at night because of the
draft from being between the 2 windows.. I could do EVERY single
thing I need done if I had legs..
I sit and look at all these things.. the wall border, the things I want
to hang on the wall .. painting here where its not done.. hanging the
curtains I need put up.. moving that bloomin chair OUT! I sit and
look and see what I could do..and KNOW I cant.. that is just SO
frustrating sometimes..because I see this stuff..and then I try to
plot and scheme to figure out a way that I could possibly do some
of it at least.. but it just comes down to that one thing that stops me,
Im too flippin SHORT!!! :-) Im GORGEOUS.. but well.. that don't
make me as tall as I need to be.. I did thank Robert though for
coming by ..Mildred, his girlfriend he lives with works at COA, and
when I called COA they told him. All I need is the plastic now..and
that new window put in..I havent heard from Chris..
There is hand update..took this noon..that's Dutch of course..
to the left of the big spot is another smaller that's starting.. I
cant seem to get this one to heal right.. The top is like a hard
callous and raw underneath it.. ask how I know..well I dug at
it one time thinking if I got that hard top off and opened it a
bit to the air that might help..and it did but I had to be super
careful as I was worried I would get an Infection then being so
raw and open..plus it really hurt then too when that top layer
was taken off.. I think I may try a warm compress a few times
a day and see if that will help.. I don't want to put lotion as
most of them bother me and make me itch..so..Im just going
to use my good way that works..hot soapy water and warm
compresses..that's what healed my stump..so it should work
for this...Don't look at the messy desk..That's Dutch of course,
he sits there on the corner of my desk all the time like a big
statue on guard.. :-)

So anyway.. was a super busy day, and I didn't even have to
leave the house..Oh, Dawn came by last night and picked up
some things I had gotten at the store for them that were on
sale..well buy one, get 2 free of some things..so I got for me,
and gave the extra to them..helps them out too.. We all have
gotten so we don't talk about the GarageMahal.. the boy is very
discouraged.. and now with this snow.. well I called him earlier
and hes not even answering his cell :-) poor guy.. I wish I
could do one of those nose twitches, like that genie..and his
garage would be done..with all his toys in it.. I bet hes seeing
this snow and thinking on the way home he could ride his
snow mobile and worry about the garage tomorrow....:-)...

I got up at 3 am..wide awake..but I fell asleep about 730..so I
had plenty of rest..but this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is VERY
tired of this chair.. I need OUT of it.. my butt has given me
very strict commands..to GET OFF.. :-) A snack..TV and I
know sleep.. We are snug, warm..and all tucked in... ready
for a nice winter sleep. let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..
We say.... "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.....
