~New Ramp In the Neighborhood~

Look closely at that green house.. at the front .. I did
not notice that ramp out there before.. Maybe they
just put it in.. I just don't remember seeing it which
makes me think it is fairly new.. I saw a truck down
there a few weeks back and couldn't figure out what
they were doing and I guess that may have been it..
Ive not seen anyone use it YET... I have seen the
ramp guy. Yesterday I saw him..
His girlfriend came out of the house or trailer is what
it really is.. She took his walker and went in front of him.
They were over there the other day working on his
ramp and I think they put a railing on both sides and on
the steps.. I watched him as he gingerly stepped on his
prosthetic and went down the ramp... He did quite well,
but to me, he still did not look comfortable with his leg.
That it hurt him to walk on it... But he did good..

Ive watched the progress hes been making and I'm no
expert since I don't have or want a prosthetic, but I
can see an improvement.. Hes not only depending on the
walker now hes brave enough to just use the railings..
My friend BB that was a dak in the hellhome, I watched
him when he got his first leg, they only gave him one at
a time. He never used them once he got out of there. He
said they were a pain to put on and he was faster in his
chair :-) He preferred to zip around in that...

It is a horribly rainy and cold and wet ACHEY day.. My
big toe on my left foot is hurting so bad.. It gets these
stabbing pains in it and there is not ONE thing I can do..
My arms and hands, well I am just being very careful
what I pick up or hold.. When I have my coffee I put
my hands over top of it to warm them sometimes they
are so cold when I get up in the morning, like my arms
and shoulders. I know its the arthritis too. Just the
beginning and the joys of winter.. I'm glad I have lots
of sweaters :-)

Its lunch time and I'm kinda hungry I have to eat so I
can take my thyroid pill.. I havent decided what I want
to eat YET.. :-) I will find something...I always do :-)
Post time for this ACHEY GORGEOUS WEEBLE for
today.. Hope you have a good warm dry week end..
Remember "I SHALL Return!" :-)

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....
