~Hurts~

After I posted the blog, well even a bit before that my

right stump and hip really started to hurt. Just like it

did before that sent me to hospital for 5 days... It was

really bad and the sharp stabbing pains really hurt.. In

fact when they would start, my stump would actually

jump from it. I went to bed early about 6:30 or so and

laid as flat as I could... about 2 this morning I finally

fell asleep as the pain had almost stopped, well eased

up enough so I could doze off..I was ready too...

I don't know what to blame it on, cuz I think this is

happening for 2 reasons.. and that's my bed of course,

but I also think this new cushion may be part of the

reason too.. This cushion is a lot different than my other

one, in fact I may go back to my other one.. This new one

is harder, and in the front is a rise I guess.. you can feel

the foam is shaped right in the middle, between my stumps.

It keeps them separated and I was told distributes my weight

better. Well I'm beginning to think that may not be a good

thing.

I don't sit just one way, straight forward.. I had this chair

made bigger so that if I have company and the only place

to sit here is on the sofa behind me.. I back away from my

desk a bit, then instead of turning my chair I just turn me

instead... After a while I will move my chair and sit back

the..'correct?' way.. :-) Well I don't think there is a right

or wrong way as long as you can endure it.. I have to keep

moving, no matter what I'm doing.. typing, or talking, I

move my stumps a lot.. maybe its really a nervous twitch?

:-) a Twitchy Gorgeous Weeble.. :-)

I notice when this hip or stump or what ever it is that's giving

me this pain.. I guess its Phantoms, they don't tell you anything.

Its like a learn as you go along thing. But these stabbing picky

spurts of pain into my foot really do hurt.. The only thing I can

do to help them is to lay flat.. Now that I know what it is I

wont have to go back to hospital anymore and if I can endure

the pain long enough it will go away.. Sometimes though I will

be honest they are bad and make me say ugly things.. I wont

tell you what though :-) Its still there now, as I write this,

but very light and a good space of time between them.. After

I post this I am going to go and lay back down for a while,

that's why I'm early today. I got up at 6.. not a lot of sleep

so I am a tad tired...Pain wears you down...does me anyway...

First though after I post this I'm gonna fix some lunch, early

supper.. I have some yellow squash and I think I am going to

make that.. I have a small steak in the freezer thanks to

Angel Food and I think that will be a good meal.. Some of

those great peaches for desert.. I'm set.. First I have to

post this and write 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.....
