~Nice Phone Call~

I had the nicest phone call yesterday afternoon. I had sent some

baby things to Kelli by way of Donnie and my Dolly phoned to

thank me.. She is such a sweet girl.. She had natural childbirth

and is nursing the baby. Said he is doing very well..and that she

liked the blankets and things I had sent. I always enjoy her calls..

I had put off calling her cause I KNOW all her friends are and lots

of people.. so I kept informed through Dawn and Donnie and Im

glad she understood that.. From what she said Willie, my ex is

in town, of course to see this new baby that I KNOW he has been

waiting for. Willie , Papa, is closer to Kelli than he is his own grand

daughters that his daughter has. He is not close to them at all...

She sounded really good and doesn't plan to go back to work for

3 months, she has every thing planned and every thing is going

according to it..and Im really glad for her, shes a hard worker,

she will be a great mom...

It was such a lazy day today and I will admit this hernia is really sore.

I had heard that women never get them..but I don't see why not, we

strain to do things.. I was talking to a friend about this being one of

the last things I would have expected to more or less be caused from

being a amputee.. We do have to ..well I DO.. maybe because im not

as young or thin as some and have to strain harder to try to sit up, or

to even transfer... I never expected a hernia, but I know this thing has

been there a while..it never bothered me at all...this past month it has

let me know its there a few times...and today is one of those days..I

had a bowel obstruction surgery before which could happen again my

doctor told me years ago when I had it done, in 89 I think...my sister

called my attention to that, which I didn't even think about, that this

could be related to that and be more serious than what I think.. Well

I go to the doctor the 5th of may, they were going to move it up to the

23, but I already have a ride set so why change it..only bad thing is ,,

its at 115 and I HATE afternoon appointments.. But if im going to see

a REAL doctor that's the only time hes there...But today I KNOW I

have what ever it is.. Just keeps tellin me its there...

I dug out an old photo because Im NOT up to my highest GORGEOUS

WEEBLE standards today..and I didn't wanna scare any body.. :-) I

want to thank you all again for the loving concern it makes me feel very

special and I am most grateful... I cant possibly do this by myself and if I
didn't have you, well I would be most alone.. I need every one of you.

We need to remind our friends, family, every one that is special to us

that they are.. you may not need to say it..but THEY may need to hear it..

I am off to have some tomato soup and a PB sandwich.. Im not very

hungry, I don't wanna gain back what I lost ! I did NOT buy any sweets

either, I was very good.. :-) "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.....
