Amputee life before and after...

~Many Blessings~ :-)

I called the Social Security office today about that
letter telling me I owed them 265 dollars.. I almost
blew a gasket on that one.. I bet I was on hold for
at least 20 minutes so I'm glad it was their 800
number.. the music they have you listen to gave me
a rotten headache..maybe that's so you wont keep
waiting..Well I talked to a sweet lady named Jill..I
explained everything to her and she put me on hold
for 10 minutes and came back and said.."Lois, that
letter you got you can destroy, I have waived that
debt as it wasn't your fault and in a few weeks you
should get another letter stating you do not owe
us anything".. I was so relieved.. how nice was that?
I am so pleased.. this was a blessing..they just
never stop...I can breathe a sigh of relief on that..

The repair shop phoned back and I will have to get
someone to go all the way to the next town to take
my puter in.they do not come and pick them up... I
will have to wait till Penny gets here to see if she
will make that drive for me. If I give her gas money
I have no doubt she will go if she can fit it into her
busy schedule.. So far as things stand, I plan to get
a new one as all I am hearing is that it has crashed
but perhaps I can get the hard drive out and put
it into another computer.. The one they have on hold
for me at the store I think would be the best one to
get and the best thing to do.. I will get it either today
or tomorrow.. If it turns out mine can be fixed I will
have 15 days to return the new one..I would rather
my other puter but if it cant be saved it cant be..I
just cannot be with out one...

When I got to this desk Saturday morning and looked
at my puter just sitting there, no lights , nothing.. I just
sat and stared at it thinking to my self just WHAT was
I going to do NOW... I get so discouraged and upset.,
but in the end as long as I keep looking up things do
seem to straighten out... I think this is HIS way of
pointing out to us that we DO have blessings..many
of them..that's why we have the down times.. so we
do appreciate all the good.. I have so many blessings
that happen to me daily but when a bad thing does
happen it over shadows the good things..if we let it..
I try not to..but sometimes.. well I will be honest ... I
do get down and whiney and do have a little pity party
for myself..but when I do and get past that..I count
my blessings again.. I may be legless and living the
rest of my life in this chair.. but boy.. I have SO very
much to be grateful for and I honestly am.. Things
do get better.. we just have to look up and the light is
there...


Lunch was its usual guess what.. and needless to say
I didn't eat it..so I'm going to make a Philly steak
sandwich with some wonderful sauteed onions.. I have
some great onion rolls I had Penny pick up for me and
this will be a very good lunch.. I plan to call Penny later
to find out about Eddie..Hes in hospital in Wyoming
and poor Penny is very concerned.. His son and wife
drove her car out there and the boy is going to drive
Eddies truck back and deliver the load on it while his
wife brings Eddie back.. They don't know what is the
matter with him and Penny is really worried.. So I
want to call and see if she is ok or needs anything..shes
a good friend besides taking good care of me..


Today was a good day, thanks to my dear friends and
the sweet lady at the SS office.. I'm most happy.. Now
if I can get a email from my son I will be even happier!
Time for 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 .....

    Hi, Honey,
    That is GREAT news and it must be SUCH a relief to you that they have waived that debt - after all, it was of their making.
    If you can possibly get the hard drive out of your present computer and put it in an external Caddy, you should be able to save all your old files and folders into the new computer, so don't throw either of your old 'puters in the trash, until you have extracted all your stuff from the hard drives.
    I'm quietly confident that you could find the hard drives and put them in caddies. You link up with a USB to USB cable.
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    PS
    Any techies who read this will shoot me down if I'm wrong!!!

    Raife is correct, put your old drives in a caddie and hook it up with a usb cable. It will also work with vista... I think the problem with you old computer is that the power supply has gone kaaapooteeee.

    God Bless!
