Amputee life before and after...

~Great New Cam~


I have been playing with my new webcam again.!. I
really am amazed at how good the photos are. I
was reading how to operate it and it can take a
photo as big as 8 megapixels.. I don't know what
that means other than it should be an exceptionally
clear photo..which I tried it, I took one of the D's,
and it was 1.7 MB. That's big..but clear? it was
wonderful.!..Theyre young they can take good clear
closeups..Me, well I need a little farther away :-)
Ive been asked a few times to put a photo here that
shows the ends of my stumps again. so there ya go.

The scars on each one are so different it makes me
wonder if the same doctors really did the surgeries,
which it was sposted to have been, Dr. Simoni..hes
left that office now, I have to say I wasn't really
impressed with the bedside manner all 3 of them
in that office had, Dr Jain, Dr. Munn as well.. When
Dr. Munn told me that night my left leg was going to
have to be amputated, I started to cry, he looked at
me and sort of took a step back and said "There is
no NEED to cry, it HAS to be done, so STOP crying".
I was more hurt by what he said than anything.. How
awful to say to a person.. I KNEW that, why wasn't I
allowed to cry? Anyone would. I bet if it was him..he
would bawl his eyes out..

My right stump is smaller than my left as well.. I think
because partly from wearing that binder, I think my
left is bigger because it was infected for over a year,
I wasn't going to get prosthetics.. I changed my
mind after 2 months of wearing that awful thing on
my stump..It was NOT easy, it kept sliding off every
time I moved and that would look awful to be going
down the hall pulling at your crotch to get that binder
back in place.. I didn't want fake legs..

I decided back then that this is me.. no legs and I was
NOT going to represent myself as something I wasn't
even for the sake of others that didn't like to see the
realization that a person is legless.. I honestly don't
care if no one likes how I look..well I say "DONT look
at me then".. I like me no matter how I look ..with legs
with out legs and what ever, hopefully NOT, body parts
that may fall off .. ok .get CUT off :-) Naa you see me..
this is what you get.. A GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-)

Lunch was pretty good today..Was ham with macaroni
and cheese.. Notice the ham was first? There was hardly
and mac and cheese! the ham was excellent, a great
smokey taste, but there wasn't hardly any macaroni..It
came with peas and onions, those tiny pearl ones and it
had stewed tomatoes.. Me, what I do I put it all into one
bowl and mix it all together..Its really good.. This new
cook doesn't do too bad.. They bring frozen dinners for
the holidays but I'm not keen on eating them.. I worry
that they might cool down and crap will grow on it and
all I would need is food poisoning or some junk.. So I
give them to Penny that takes them to one of her other
clients that cant get them anymore..I guess cuz they
found out he had a car even though he doesn't drive it.
I have heard some news that our lunches may start to
be delivered only once a week because of the gas.. Then
we would have to freeze them. What if some don't have
a big enough freezer? With the way things are going I
worry what other things theyre going to stop..possibly
their rides and lawn mowing..THEN what would I do?
Who would cut my grass? I sure cant expect Penny to
do that and how would I afford to pay someone to cut
it..and in THIS town if you don't keep your grass cut
you will get a citation, a ticket from the city..they
will cut it and you pay for the cutting AND the ticket.
So I may be in DODO..always something...

Well I am out of this chair for today, I have some of
those dibs and they are the best treat, I sure enjoy
them.. I got a new photo of our baby Alex, I havent
asked permission to use it yet so as soon as I ask Kelli
I will show you our baby..I asked today if her Papa,
my ex, Willie, has been here to see him..Kelli informed
me hes been here, all the way from Louisiana TWICE!.
I live 30 miles down the road from that boy and Ive
only seen him ONCE! now, WHAT is wrong with THAT
picture?? I need to see that boy more often I think..

Tomorrow is the 4th, please be careful with the fire
works, but have a great time, I have no plans but to
visit with my friends here and of course to write to
you.. So until then its 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 .....

    Gorgeous Lady,

    Well - thank you for the photo - as always. Of course - I've known the scars and length of your legs were different. One of your many charms actually!! We love you just the way you are! An yes - the webcam is doing a wonderful job. Does it do videos also - I would assume so.

    Mmm - those dibs do sound good - have to look for some in the store.

    Rainy 4th here - cancelled boat plans :(. Oh well.....

    You have a good one. Bare Hugs,

    Butty

    Yes, this new cam takes videos but they are so big and movie maker doesnt shrink them enough.. I made one for to get photos and it was over 9 MB..just too big.. This cam will make wonderful vids and I can make them for as long as I want not like on the other.. When I publish my next vid you will be on the top of my "send to" list lol..
