Amputee life before and after...

~Crunches~

The snow has started again.. The weatherman I heard Last
night said by Thursday we could be measuring it in FEET !
Penny came today and we checked to make sure I had enuff
of everything, just in case we do get snowed in.. Only thing I
really make sure of is food for the boys..and litter of course.
I was so glad Penny came today, I had gotten up during the
night and needed some water and I rolled up to the table to
put some of my lime kool aid in it..well I hit BOTH of the dry
cat food bowls under there..naturally it went EVERYWHERE.
As I roll back to assess the damage I hear CRUNCH, CRUNCH,
CRUNCH ! I ran over a ton of those tiny pieces of cat food,
I just sat for a minute trying to decide just how badly did I really
need to clean that up? I had to if I was going to make coffee
later..It was like 2 am, when this happened, I knew I would be up
about 6..so it was just a matter of how WELL I felt, and I wasnt A 1.
I did get some of it up..but I had to stop.. I wasn't feeling good
and my arms just ached awful Im not allowed to use the broom
or the mop cuz I just make matters worse when I do.. I need
a broom the size of a fireplace one..that would be perfect.
Penny hangs the broom and mop on the wall going down to
the basement..and I cant reach them from the top.. I get
nervous when I roll face on to a flight of steps.. to me its scarey...

I did get some of my mess cleaned up and poor Penny got stuck
doing the rest which she didn't mind at all... Im not a messy person
and I like things put back where they were from..and I try to clean
up the best I can- I made the mess..Penny is here to HELP me..and
she does so much just doing shopping and laundry and keeping it
nice in here..I can help...But I didn't do a lot on this mess but I told
her I wasn't feeling well and she scolded me for trying to clean it up and
I should have left it for her.. Shes a good kid..

She was telling me, pretending to be crying "Lois, my babyboy turns
21 tomorrow, and theyre having a baby" as she walks away she said
the same as me .."Where did the time go?" I look at Kelli...where did
those years go? I look at myself.. and wonder... I think whats really
amazing..I look at old photos of my self with legs..Ive put many here..
but I notice as time goes on.. I don't remember the act of really walking,
of FEELING the process of feet hitting the ground..feeling the hot or
cold .. I feel my feet now, yes..but they feel.. I guess the right word is
mutant almost..Usually I feel them as twisted sometimes in different
directions..I feel them being sort of squeezed..or on their toes. its not
a good feeling sometimes..

As far as me feeling today, I am better, But as you see this is posted
early as I am going to go and lay it down and get out of this chair.. I
stayed up this morning since I guess 630... Im tired.. Still snowing,
and the roads are covered.. glad my road to my bed is only covered
with carpet.. "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.....

    Hi Lois
    They say Wednesday we are going to get snow...hope it won't be much.

    That deep snow make it hard to get around in, hope you don't get to many feet of it.
    Maybe where you are at get lots of snow in feet!
    The sun was shining today, but cold in the shade...It got up to 45 F I think.
    I pray you have a good night rest Lois...take real good care of yourself.
    Love Mary

    It was too warm in NYC so we only got rain instead of snow.
