~Questions~

Ive been asked a lot of times when someone notices

that my stumps are different lengths.. Questions like

does it matter that one is longer, does it help that one

is longer? My right is at least 6 inches shorter than the

left. I have to say that all be known that I am GLAD

they left the left longer.. Its the one I use to start

out any move or transfer. It gives me more stability

when I make that final swing over onto what ever, the

bed, couch even the potty. I'm glad its longer. The

right is just too short to feel secure when I lead off.

I was told when I saw the length of the left, why they

didn't even them out.. The nurse told me, Jan, was her

name, very nice lady..very good to me too.. But she said

the doctors are only permitted by some rule I guess,

that they cannot amputate farther than what is exactly

needed... To do cosmetic stuff that would have to be

done on my own if I wanted them perfect..


Well.. . . I DO like PERFECT.. but, I aint going back to

let them make them both alike !! NO WAY!!! :-) They

look just oki doki to me :-) well I do like the right one

better. Where the left was so horribly infected for

that first year on my own, that's the reason the scar

looks so big and ugly, a raging infection that almost

drove me insane, no wonder that stump looks like it

does.. I just baby it and make sure I keep a CLOSE

eye on it.. That infection came back.. well I dunno if

this PERFECT GORGEOUS WEEBLE could go through

that again.. I cried every single day, for over a year.

That's too long and I sure don't want to go back to

that..

I had company today, the lady from COA that handles

this area.. Beverly, very nice lady.. She used to work

for a Dr here that I am going to call and see if he will

take me as a patient ! Would be better than the clinic

in Three Rivers, and his office is just down on main

street. Beverly is very nice and I'm glad she told me

about this Dr. I like seeing a Dr Dr. At the clinic we

had to go on Wed. afternoon if we wanted to see a

Dr Dr. I'm going to call and find out if he will see me.

She thinks he will.. I sure hope so.. Anyhoway......

Penny came and we are all clean for the week end..

We don't mess up too badly.. and I do try to keep

things up... I had promised the boy a meat pie when

he came IF he let me know, well he didn't, so Penny

made the pie today. :-) It is ALMOST done, so is

this post.. :-) I know, first my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"G'day, G'day". Want some meat pie? :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and Thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,
