~Happy Labor Day~:-)

Today it doesn't know what it wants to do, which being

a holiday, so many will be bbqing that I hope it doesn't

rain at least, It can be gloomy and over cast and some

times that's better than full hot sun.. I love bbq'd food.

Specially brats, with sauteed onions.. and a really good

hamburger.. I like steak, but I'm just as happy with a

burger, I like hot dogs but I can take them or leave them.

They arent a real favorite... I had mentioned just this

morning to a friend that now would be a good time to get

one, they will all go on sale since Labor Day is the official

ending of summer...

David and I had a gas grill that was huge! He loved to bbq.

He had one of those syringes to inject marinade or what

ever inside the meat, which really was good.. That's become

quite popular. He fired up our grill summer, winter, any time

we felt like it.. It stayed right outside the back door.. If

Joe builds me a deck, be nice to have one out there, IF its

a big enough one, and really, with the way the door swings

open it would almost HAVE to have some sort of platform

for me to be able to get in and out of that door , specially

if I was in my manual chair... its not easy to be on a ramp,

hold your chair in place AND open a door... Well I never

found it very easy to do.. Power chair, be no problem...

Here on TV Ive noticed they have been more or less

advertising I guess you would say, about what I have,

my Drs called it PVD.. Peripheral VASCULAR Disease,

On TV now they are calling it PAD, Peripheral ARTERY

Disease.. Same thing.. Its when you move, exercise, or

what ever you use your muscles for, the arteries are

clogged and they cant get the blood IN and OUT of

those arteries of the muscles you are using, like legs

or arms.. which causes them to hurt and if NOT fixed

the arteries get brittle and can explode and you could

bleed to death in no time at all..

That's why they were so anxious to amputate my legs

because of that risk factor. The artery could explode,

which it did once on my right leg. I had just had a

bypass done on it, in 2000.. that awful summer of so

many surgeries. heart, abdominal bypass, each leg done

at least once, and twice for the right ! I had just gotten

back to my room and a pain started so bad in that leg I

know I was screaming.. They had to redo the bypass..

But my point is.. Exercise is NOT good for me.. The more

I use my arms the more the arteries will clog at the bad

spots... and I KNOW I have some, they told me that at

my last arteriogram and heart cath...

They didn't advertise that disease till just lately, as I

think they are finding out this is another reason to NOT

smoke ciggies.. Its the MAIN cause, plus high cholestrol

and STRESS... That's what I have read and been told..
I am glad to see it brought out more so that more people

are aware of it, most everyone sees me thinks I lost my

legs cuz I'm diabetic.. NOPE.. I arent.. I can eat ALL the

sweets I want :-)

What I want and NEED now is something to eat.. My arms

are aching again so I need to post this and get some more

done before they REALLY make me do nothing :-) But you

KNOW this GORGEOUS WEEBLE hasta warn ya, "I shall

be back !" :-)

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...
