~Im Getting there~


I'm feeling a tad better today, "thank you Lord". I am
not nearly up to doing anything other than just minor things
like feed the boys.. Poor things they know mom is sick and
they are sticking to me like glue. When I head into bed they
follow me, wait till I get settled then one gets on each side
of me, usually Dutch on the right and LB on my left.. Oh and
of course LB's girlfriend is always up there as well.. When I
get up, they get up and follow me right into the bathroom
and will sit there, LB on the sink and Dutch sits on the back
of the potty, like guardians... Its really cute..

I notice doing all this extra transferring that from all this
dragging back and forth and turning around to transfer is
making the backs of my stumps sore.. I notice when I sit
that they feel raw, and ache.. I know its got to be from
so much movement that I'm going through that's doing
this, so Ive been watching close so that the skin doesn't
break down at all.. To lay in bed for 2 days and can only
lay on my back or sit up I keep steady pressure on my
bottom.. so if I did break down that would NOT be a
good thing.. That lump I found has gone, so the antibiotics
worked.. I am surprised that I got this flu being as I
was on the antibiotic KeFlex which is very strong.. This flu
they say is not the shot one, that the shot has no effect
on this strain ..

I woke this morning to a very nice surprise which has made
me feel much better, and that's a email from Mark. Hes
quite busy but everyone is fine, apparently the flu is even
over in the UK... Makes you wonder just how this flu got
started..

I have met my "Up" quota for today and need a rest.. I am
going to have some chicken soup, which I had some yesterday
and I do believe it helped.. I feel better today... So I will
have some more today.. I have No appetite at all.. which a little
weight loss is NOT a bad thing, but just NOT this way.... Time
to post, thanks for all the "get well's" This better a tad,
GORGEOUS WEEBLE says "G'Day, G'Day"... :-)

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,
    So glad you got that e-mail from your son. I know how much Mums value these things.
    Antibiotics won't touch viruses at all. The N.H.S. in this country waste literally millions of pounds on patients who go to their doctor with a cold and demand antibiotics, which do no good at all!
    About the only thing that might help is garlic, but if you're being sick, you wouldn't want to know!!
    I'm so glad you are on the mend. Could you put a bit of silk under you stumps so that you slid off more easily? Perhaps that might help the soreness?
    Take care, Honey
    Luv Ya,
    Raife

    Hello Lois
    So glad you are a bit better, it just take a while.
    We had so much wind today, hard to stand up at times.
    Finish taking everything to Pam new place...She loves her new home...there will be 5 clients living there one of these days...And Becky will be the last one moving in...so much to do before she can move in...
    Will be very happy to have them in the same home.I know Becky will be so much happier with the other girls, will have more to do...
    The workshop is across the street...hoping in time Pam will go over there more.
    Becky loves the workshop and all the different little job she does...plus she make extra money with it too.
    I don't think Pam ever will do any work there, if she does it will surprise everyone.
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary
