~Sitting~

It rained all night, when I woke up this morning it was still

coming down... and both my stumps today, hurt so bad,

well its hard to even describe. They feel like they are

going to explode. they are both sound asleep and no

matter which way I sit I am NOT waking them up. Some

days are like this and its hard to know what to do.. No

one told me they were going to feel like this..that I would

have daily pain of one kind or another..Its hard to tell

which is really hurting the parts I can really feel with my

hands or the invisible parts of my lower leg..the pains

are so real that its very hard to distinguish just where the

actual hurt is.. Today has been one of those days..thats

why this early post.. I have to get a better place to sit.

I only have 2 places to sit really, well 3 if you count my couch.

I don't get on that as there is really no reason to. My TV is in

my bedroom so I just get on my bed when I want to watch it..
I had that recliner and it was not made for someone with out

legs..even being electric.. you still had to have some weight

on the foot rest for it to go all the way flat in front..so It wouldn't

close and that's how I got stuck in that chair.. But somewhere

else to sit, I think that would be great..


A lot of this pain I feel I think is from my hips and possibly lower

back.. So much pressure gets put on them all the time from

not being able to stand none of the pressure is ever relieved.

When I lay I do try every day to lay flat for awhile..well that's the

only time those muscles get straightened out..and I think if I
didn't do that those muscles would stay in a L shape and I

would constantly be in a sitting position..Ive not felt the greatest

lately and have logged off early and gone and gotten on my

bed.. Sometimes I will stay in my chair and watch tv...but after

a short time my hips will ache or my stumps will go to sleep..I
swear they sleep more than I DO !...

Rainy days really trigger these aches and pains in my stumps..

and I believe its because the bone was cut right off and that

the pain and sleepy feeling I get is from arthritis and every other

kind of ritis that could set into a sawed off Bone !...If I scoot a

little forward in my chair and then lean back, which is a terrible

slouchy posture..but that helps sometimes for a little while..


I think my help for the rest of this day tho is in there on my bed

It has really been a rainy painful day and Im ready for it.. But

I cant forget my GORGEOUS WEEBLE words "Nitey Nite"...

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS :-)

Always, Lois ****
