~Ugly Thumb~

Penny made it today, and I was glad, since they say friday will

be even worse than what it was today. The wind has slowed

but there is a second major storm coming at us.. Penny

went to the store and got us all clean..She swept off the front

porch as there was as much snow on it as outside since

that plastic came off... When its winter you have to plan ahead

or you can get stuck with eating nothing but crackers...if you

even have those.. Many people don't stock up.. COA brings

a special bag that is for emergencies.. It has a box of milk,

that doesn't have to be in the fridge, a box of cereal..2 cans

of fruit, 2 cans of veggies, a can of stew, things that can be

opened and eaten, well IF you have a can opener that is..

I don't have an electric one myself..I have one of the old kind,

that you open and clip onto the side of the can..then twist

the winder thing and it goes around the can.. I have better luck

with those than I do electric ones..those I have had so much

trouble with Ive called them everything BUT what they were...

Ive been asked how my hand, well thumb is doing so I took a

photo today of it.. Its not any better as you can see and in fact

it is bigger than what it was and spreading.. I am going to

have to break down go to the doctor, I cant seem to find any

thing here to work.. Its so hard to make an appointment

when I don't know what the weather will be... I keep hoping I

can get it to heal..since I hate going to a Dr so badly.. Im

just not one to rush to a Dr at the drop of a hat..not if I can

get it to heal.. When I showed it to the Dr before she didn't

give me anything for it then..she saw it when I had to go for

my elbow...which still hurts off and on..but the other Dr said

it would not go away permanently..It doesn't hurt near like it

did.. My hand however, it is really sore the past couple days,

and it hurts to move my thumb.. when I have to roll in to my

bedroom its like..I stop..look and take a deep breath, and

start the hard push to get up to my bed.. It really is hard to

roll in there..

Kenny came by last nite..and fixed the door..Put some strip

stuff around the outside. Its helped.. He took the torn plastic

off the screen, the sound of it drove all 3 of us nuts.. I wish

he had swept off the porch but he didn't.. Penny did today.

We had trouble a few times today with the door closing but

if you slam it really hard it will catch and stay shut.. Kenny

is just not the best when it comes to doing this stuff..but hes

young.. and hes learning I guess.. he needs to learn how to

be a tad faster on getting to his jobs..what..3 weeks since I

called about the door? Joys of renting...

The one place its TOO easy to roll in is my kitchen.. I had

Penny pick up a Danish pastry for me.. and I am gonna eat

half of it and save the other half for tomorrow.. then wait for the

boy and Ralph to come by. Ralph is a old friend and related

to Donnie or was..when he was married to his ex wife..Ralph

is her cousin.. He spent some time in a wheel chair and stayed

at Donnies to recouperate too..he had gotten hit by a car one

night when he was drinking and stopped on the side of the road

to take a whiz and got hit.. bet he doesn't ever do that again..what

was even worse..his dog was killed too..a beautiful black lab....

Well time for some pastry and my GORGEOUS WEEBLE

"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.....
