~Some Things I Do Miss~

Dutch misses nothing.. :-)

Something I miss a lot that I cant do anymore is cross

my legs. :-) When I sat, I had GORGEOUS legs you

know :-) I always crossed them at the knee, sometimes

I would slide the one shoe off and let it dangle by my

toes.. :-) I miss when I prop up on my bed to watch TV,

I always crossed my feet at the ankles, don't you? Its

a comfy way to relax.. When I think about that I really

miss it.. Ive tried crossing my stumps and that's funny,

My right one is so short, that beauty aint doing nuthin.

So I try with my longer left stump to cross it over top

of my right one, well that don't work either it slides

right back off! I do sometimes when I sit up and too

when I lay down to go to sleep I will put a pillow under

them to raise them and that helps, I don't do that a lot

though cuz I think that's what aggravates my hips..That's

why I don't lay on my side very much anymore...
The birds miss nothing either ! Do you see it? by the bottom of the
suncatcher on the right.. :-) The birds torment that poor cat :-)

Since being an amputee I notice the pressure on my hips.

Specially if I am uncomfortable and sitting wrong. Which

you wouldn't think that's possible, but if I sit sort of

crooked and too much weight on one hip and not the other

in a short time I feel the nagging ache that tells me its

time to move around and change positions.. I get into this

chair at least by 7 am.. and if I stay in it to watch TV I

don't get out of it till maybe 8 or so at night..That's a
LONG time to sit, which I'm sure you know how YOU

feel after sitting for just an hour or so, you get sort

of sore, so you can imagine how it is for me..

I drive some people nuts when they do visit me, :-)

Not that I tease or anything but I move and fidget

a lot.. I raise my stumps up and down and move them

constantly and by wearing skirts all the time you cant

really tell how I sit..but some times I sit spread eagle

Is what we used to call it.. Legs spread.. I do that

to distribute my weight more evenly and release the

pressure on my hips and tailbone... A legless life is

most interesting and you would think after 8 years

now, that I have been like this that I would know all

the quirks, feelings and sensations.. but every day

something changes or I feel a new spot that will

ache or at least TRY to give me some pain.. So I just

sit and fidget and move around like I have ants in

my pants but we KNOW that aint possible I don't

wear PANTS :-)

I don't plan to do anything today, I wrote out all my

bills and got them paid and I wrote a check for Joe

for my rent, I sent what I have been sending. Until

this is settled I will not send more than what was

originally agreed to, and I wont sign that paper. I

feel they made this mistake so why does CMH get

off the hook and WE have to pay for it? I think

THEY should accept SOME of the responsibility

for the idiot that made this mistake, and NOT find

it for almost 3 years ! Ooops, Sorry, but YOU

gotta pay for OUR error.. They made this mistake

and can at least meet me half way, to triple some

ones rent isnt fair and I don't care WHO it is.

What would YOU do if you got a notice that say

your house payment or car payments were TRIPLED.

which is what they did to my rent, what would YOU

do? Where would YOU get it.. yet CMH says FIND
IT and PAY IT... PERIOD... This aint over.. I'm just

biding my time to see what new actions Rebecca

and CMH come up with.. I wonder how the other 12

are reacting to this? Be interesting to find out...:-)

Well its almost lunch time and I have some shorts

for Alex to finish up so I can get them in the mail

tomorrow when Penny hopefully gets here, I have

no idea what I will have for lunch not a lot as I

have a sore throat, been bothering me for a while.

Poor Penny has never seen one of my choking attacks.

I scared her really bad yesterday. She wanted to

call 911 but I knew it would go away but they are

happening a bit too often.. Why I have NO idea..But

if you have heard me you know what a VERY deep

voice I have and the past 2 years its been steadily

getting worse. Specially when I'm stressed.. My

sis phoned yesterday to tell me she was back from

her trip up north and she noticed right away just

from the sound of my voice I am severly distressed.

Just another thing on my list for the Doctor visit.

Ive not heard back from Deborah yet, but I am sure

I will..shes very good at her job..Back from holiday

I'm sure she has a lot to catch up on...

POST TIME! :-) Time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE

to accomplish something for this day to show I was

glad to have another one.. But.. I WILL be BACK! :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv 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...
