~I Wanna ReDo~

Ive been trying to figure a way to redo my bedroom

so I have a little more room to navigate. I have one

path thru the room with just enough room to turn my

chair so I can pull up alongside my bed. I had the bed

the other way before when I had that really old bed

I got from the shelter. It was not quite as big as a

twin bed, more like a day bed.. I had thought of just

trying to get a recliner, one of those big huge ones.
I saw one that the arm rests open to keep stuff in,

like the clicker or candy or stuff..But the price..well

its not with in my range.. I think a recliner would work.

My sister, for quite awhile slept in her recliner until

she got her hospital bed. She has a really bad shoulder

and if she lays a certain way, well shes not gonna sleep.

She had a nice one and I remember sitting in it and it

was so huge and comfy I just snuggled right down in

that chair and I didn't get up.. But that was because

there were about a dozen others that wanted to sit in

it too! This was at a Christmas eve party at my sisters.

When all the kids and grands and great grands are at

her house..well she got a bigger house didn't she? :-)

I can only sleep comfortably on my back or sitting up. I

cant lay on my left side as I have a abdominal bypass

that goes down my side. The 2nd one they had to do in

2000 after my heart bypass and the 2 leg bypasses.. I

don't know which year was worse, 2000 or 2001.. The

one year was surgeries that I got better. But the ones

the next year..the 3 I had were amputations..they'res

NO recovering from that. Well there is..but your not

the same outwardly.. Inside, yes..

Being a amputee hasnt changed who I am at all..In fact

I would say its..well 'enhanced?' certain features I

have..but nothings changed inwardly , well maybe my

determination and my needing to keep up this fight.

The main thing that's totally obvious is that I'm so

much shorter.. I went to get my state ID..I had to

go to the license branch.. The lady asks me.."How

tall are you?" I looked up at her and smiled as I

rolled back so she could see me and said.."then or now?

I WAS 5 foot 4 inches, so just minus a couple of feet

and Id guess I'm 3 foot 4 now", we both laughed..when

she asked she immediately looked so embarrassed and

I felt for her.. when I said that to her it helped. I

could see she felt kinda bad for asking. But it was ok..


Well this shorty as my boy, Donnie sometimes calls me.. I

have so many nick names.. Shots, BOO, Shorty, Well..I don't

care what they call me as long as its not late for supper :-)

I think I hear my kitchen calling me, good thing too cuz I'm

hungry... I call me a 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......
