Amputee life before and after...

~Waiting~

I got a phone call from the boy last nite, he was at Kelli's for
dinner. His parents..Barb and Bill are here to see their new
great grandson, they live in Wisconsin, just north of Chicago,
nice town.. My brother Kenny used to live there, that's how I
got to know Donnie. Anyway, he called to tell me Kelli and his
mom will be by today with baby. As of this post they havent
arrived yet.. I have both camera's ready and I WILL have some
photos of this baby SOON!.. Dawn came by last nite and she
had forgotten to bring some she has..For some reason they
cant seem to get through on my email..Ive tried fixing it but
nothing works.. So I will use my own camera and I KNOW then
that I will have photos.. I may do a video and that way I can take
as many photos off of it..its a lot easier than snappin... I hope
they still plan to come today cuz I don't think Barb and Bill will
be in town that long.. They stay at Donnies..they like it out there.
Of course Bill does, he can go fishing anytime :-) Im waiting..

I did quite a bit this morning to straighten up and get things to
looking less junky.. I just have too much stuff and no where to
put it.. THATS my problem. I did see a nice Armoire on sale
at Meijers.. its a wardrobe and has drawers too.. Its like one
and half of a standard cupboard..or pantry as I call them.. This
one has a place to hang clothes which will be VERY useful.. I
have my clothes spread all over..In the bathroom, bedroom..
closets.. and they need better organized.. I showed the ad to
dawn when she was here as she was going to Meijers and she
is checking out the size to make sure it will fit.. Only bad thing
is it has to be put together.. "Some assembly Required" thing..
they don't say how HARD it really is.. Donnie had a heck of a
time putting together my bakers rack... I feel guilty sometimes
when I ask him to help me.. which he doesn't mind..Like he
says.."I don't mind Gran, YOU REALLY need help" hes a most
helpful and sweet guy..Hes one of the finest, most honorable men
I know...I still hate to ask him to help me though..even though I
know he doesn't mind..Dawn came by just to check on me to see
if I needed any thing shes such a sweetie.. I think me going into the
hospital put a little scare into them.. I try to re assure them I AM ok..
and I WILL be.. in time.. :-)

I had to call and cancel and reschedule the heart doctor..I don't
go now till the 14th of May... Next Wednesday, the day my appt
was changed to according to the COA they will NOT be giving
rides to anyone as all their buses are going up to Holland on a
day trip..Its been planned for months..All of their buses will be in
use.. Its a nice trip up there ..its for the Tulip Festival...I couldn't
make the appt for the 5th because I have the appt with MY doctor
at the clinic... I spent more time on the phone calling about these
rides and Dr visits making me NOT want to go to ANY of them..
Its a major deal.. I sometimes think that maybe if I had my own
vehicle and Penny drove it.. I could make my appts for any time
and not have to wait to see if COA can take me... I could have
called my insurance company but the last bus they sent me on
the driver, when it hit 5, I still wasn't out of the drs..so he just up
and LEFT me there ! I had to wait over an hour before they
could send a replacement driver.. So I don't trust them.. They
are sposed to wait.. Then that one driver was in such a hurry
he wouldn't take the time to let the Dr give me a shot they wanted
me to have because he refused to wait...So I don't like using them.
Which you can see is understandable... Everything is so NOT
easy to do.. its all complicated..NOW compared to when I had
legs and could just run out to my car and go~!!....big difference..

Well im gonna go eat something, what I don't know.. Ive really
not got very much of an appetite lately and I guess that's really
ok..helps to lose weight.. :-) I do want a snack tho..maybe some
tapioca pudding..they have some in a can that is just great.. I
might have that..and wait to see if my Dolly and new Honeyboy
show up..Be good to see Barb too..But now my GORGEOUS
WEEBLE words again.. "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.....
