Amputee life before and after...

~Early Up Again~


Was another early up.. Ive been trying to figure out a
plan of attack. I got to thinking, when I talked to Ken,
he stated that if I paid more rent he could keep up on
his mortgage payments... and this place I'm supposed to
go and see is 50 dollars more a month in rent. Why would
they not agree to a rent increase so I could avoid having
to move at least until spring.. not this time of year.?. To
me that sounds logical... Some of the things that Ken did
state to me I believe were not accurate and he quoted
wrong, like the amount he pays for taxes and insurance
on this place...But if 50 dollars more and CMH agrees, I
can put off this urgent need to get a new place.. After
all December isnt far off.. If this is possible, I think
this is the thing to do..

This other town is very very small and I don't think there
is but 1 store there. That would mean so much extra for
Penny which I have to consider not counting the drive for
her in the winter... And I think I should talk to COA and
see if they would still provide me with services being that
far away.. Donnie phoned last nite and we discussed this,
its about a half hour drive from here and would be more
from his house.. I barely see them now and theyre only
10 miles if that, from me.. Plus, it would be long distance
for me to call anyone from there... Lots to consider..

My back is not worse today but its not better by any means.
That's why I got up so early... I went offline right after I
posted yesterday but I didn't get on my bed right away to
watch TV.. I sat in my chair until I just got so tired I was
afraid of falling out of it.. I would only have fallen head
first onto the bed, but when my eyes kept slamming shut
I got on my bed and took one of my moms 5's... I think it
was really more like 20 though... Millie will be here Monday
or someone will, from there to get this bed, and I think
until I get my recliner I will try to help Penny to get my
TV in here on the desk that you always see behind me ,
that has the lamp on it.. My TV will fit there, its just the
cable wire is what needs to reach.. I think it will.. I hope
so then I can watch TV in here and sleep on the couch
for awhile...re arrange and get things set up better, we
may even try to tighten up that carpet in there to make
it easier to move, It will be such a treat for me to be
able to get in that closet in there once its all straight,
Penny almost has to go thru an act of congress to get in
there NOW ! :-)

Ive not done anything all day as I don't want to do a lot so
I don't aggravate this back and make it hurt worse than
it already does.. I'm due to get another net flix today, but
I don't know what it is.. I watch movies on the movie channels
but I keep dozing off and miss half of the movies and have
to watch them 2 or 3 times to see all of it.. Ive seen the one
Elisabeth now, I'm on the 3rd time and STILL have NOT
seen all of it :-) When I watch a DVD I have to use this
computer and have to stay in here...and I don't fall alseep
in here unless I'm taking a desk rest.. which I don't do often.

Its been fairly nice which I'm glad then I don't feel the furnace
kick on and see the meter going round in my minds eye.. :-) Donnie
did get a new wood stove, but not the kind he wanted, he got one
like I had at the house in Elkhart with a Denny as we called it, its
got a new name now, in the stack.. puts out the heat that other wise
goes out the chimney.. VERY well worth it.. Its a Earth Stove I
think which is really a good one, and once you know the basics of
heating with wood, you got heat cheaper which every one needs.
Just have to be careful and be sure your safe. Willie used to get
ours so hot you could see thru the walls of it.. we all had to go out
side a few times.. :-)

I'm gonna go watch TV and wait for my flix. No snack today, I
just am not very hungry which can be a good thing :-) Its time
for my famous 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 honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Hi, Honey,
    Decisions, decisions! Would it help to actually put some figures down on paper and do a few sums? You might get a clearer picture of how things might pan out?
    It must be so hard to do all this on your own, without a soul-mate to chat it all over with. Your friends here do our best, but its not quite the same, is it?
    Hope the back gets better soon. Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Lois have you sleep on the couch to see how that going to work out for you yet???
    Very nice day here, the sun was shining so bright...
    Patsy hair took the perm real well, nice and curly again for her...
    Becky has new staff for the weekend now, we are going to start picking her up for church again...the new staff is to young to drive the Bridges Van, they have to be 23 years old for the insurance.
    But our van does not hook up the ger chair very well...so she will have to be in her wheelchair, and that is over her time in setting up... going to try it and see if her bottom break down any. They said 2 hours seating is long enough for her to seat in the wheelchair..
    God bless you Lois
    Mary
