~10 Days~

What a day! I have been on the phone most of the morning

still getting things set up.. I now have most all done except

for my SS and bank. All the utility companys are different

but I had no trouble setting up service in my name like I am

with CHARTER CABLE... I called them today about where it

is I have to go, which they knew that but when I asked if

they were sure this place is wheel chair accessible no one

knew and didn't know who to call to ask.. I think most places

are but when your in a chair its best to make sure before

you travel 50 miles, one way to go somewhere. I would be

most upset if I couldn't get into their place after all I had

to go through to get a ride.. It took 3 phone calls alone to

set it up.. Its not that easy.. I have a ride set up for 9:30

Friday morning.. so there goes our packing day.. and I only

have 10 days to pack the rest of this...

I think that was Nicoles problem.. the inspector from Keystone,

and like that lady told me once about how she couldn't see why

I just couldn't "scoot across" into my caregivers car to go to

the store myself.. Well.. until you have YOUR butt stuck in one

of these chairs no one really knows.. That's why I DONT like

going out because of all the crap I have to go through.. To just

"scoot" like that lady said, I don't scoot... Id like to see HER

try it... Its not that easy besides being very dangerous.. If you

put that transfer board across to the car seat and when you

go to slide across if that board moves and falls down YOU hit

the ground.. And if you are NOT strong.. how are you going to

pull your self across? They don't think of all this when they

don't allow lenience for someone in a chair and I think that's

really crappy.. I have to say I have YET to call one company

that had any sort of compassion or better rates or any kind

of variance for us. I even called the ACA and they said, "you

have to do as they ask there is nothing we can do to get a

company to give you any kind of dispensation". I wish they

would just realize how hard this is...

My problem I realized today that is facing me, well lets say

ANOTHER problem I have to solve. On the 22nd when we go

to haul all this stuff up there, how will I get there? I cant

get in Dawns Blazer or Kellis Blazer, Penny has to work and

COA doesn't run on Saturday.. So... now what do I do? I

guess it will be up to the boy to not only load all my stuff but

me as well, which no one has ever lifted or carried me and,

well I guess I may have to dress a little more that day..:-)

Id hate to scare anyone! :-)

I only have a couple more things to pack here in the living room

and Penny came today with more boxes and she packed the

bathroom and part of the kitchen.. I think our biggest thing

and hard for me is the basement as I don't know where or

how things are down there. I will have to send Penny down

with the camera to take pictures so I can see whats there

and what needs left and what needs prepared to go.. I talked

to Joe yesterday and in the picture of the back of the house,

there are 3 garages all together .. He said he keeps his boat

and his pontoon in there along with his maintence mans boat.

He is sure some of my things can go in that until the Histerical

Society comes and gets their stuff. So that's a relief...

I woke up not feeling the best this morning and as soon as I

post this I am going to lay it down for a while.. I went to bed

very late last nite, no, I guess I should say I went to couch ,,,

:-) I didn't sleep but a few hours at a time.. This couch is

not good for me.. I cant move on it very easily its too soft and

my hands sink and I get no leverage to move.. A bed or a chair

I'm sure will be a lot better. Plus I have a really sore tender

spot, well- right at the very bottom of my spine.. I could be

more specific, but, use your imagination :-)

I'm ready for my 5 and a snack.. and then back to packing some

more. First my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "nitey nite"... :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya and thanks bunches!
Always, Lois ****


"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
