Amputee life before and after...

~Dutch is Up, Mom Is Up~ :-)

I don't remember what time I fell asleep and turned
my TV off, it was fairly early...I only got up once about
3:30, and I remember looking at the time about 6:30.
I went back to sleep and I didn't roll out of bed until
9:15! Is that lazy or what? I slept pretty good :-) I
only woke up then because the kid was bound and
determined Mom was getting UP! Dutch walked back
and forth across my chest at least 4 times then plopped
down HARD! right in the center and proceeded to first
lick my face then tap it with his foot... He wanted food
and his treats !... And Mom got up~!~ :-)

I notice when I sit a certain way I get that stabbing pain
in my left big toe.., Strange hey? Some of the feelings I
get in these invisible legs are amazing.. I don't think I will
ever understand how its possible..That my brain can be
THAT stubborn not to finally realize after what....8 years,
that the legs are gone....Why it feels it has to remind me
they were once there seems so NOT logical when I can
see they are gone... Like my brain says my eyes are liars,
my legs are really there ! :-)

I have to say I have learned what way to sit so that I don't
get these pains or cramps or what ever.. I was sleeping with
a pillow under my stumps for a while and I noticed I had
a miserable ache right on my tailbone.. well, laying with a
pillow would put me in the same position as sitting... but the
pressure is REALLY on my tailbone more than if I was
sitting up the pressure would be more on my hips and
butt :-) I don't sleep like that very much any more.. But
I still sleep sitting up with my pillows all piled in front
of me..I sleep pretty good that way, Ive slept like that
since I was in the hellhome, it was easier to breathe..
plus Dutch cant lay on me :-)

I don't mind the boys laying on me to sleep .. Most nights
they are each in there tucked in and snuggled down, one
in each arm pit.. :-) Usually LB is on the left and Dutch is
on the right... When ever I move they move. Some times
when I am going thru from the kitchen to the livingroom
we look like we are playing follow the leader with Dutch
in front of course, then me, then LB.. LB is NEVER in a
hurry.. :-)

There is not anything scheduled for today, which is ok
by me.. Its a beautiful day out side, sunny and kinda windy
and not too cold..In the 50's I think.. I did phone my sis
yesterday and told her I have her doily for her that Penny
made. She is so busy with sewing and taking trips with
Stanley she doesn't know when she will be able to come
up here... So I told her what I do with Kelli and Donnie,
I offered to send the doily in the mail :-) She thought
that was a great idea! So if Penny mails it Monday she
should have it by Wednesday... Not too bad.. I still hope
she comes up.. Well THEY... I enjoy listening to Stan play
his guitar and harmonica..Hes really good.. He is learning
how to play piano now, hes very musically talented..

Well its that time to find some lunch so I can take my
pill... I still don't feel any more energetic than I did
before I guess it takes awhile to go into full effect
when they raise the dose... I have a lot I want to make
for Christmas so I need the energy! :-)


Post time and for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to say
again.. "I shall return!" Hope you have a great weekend!


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....

    I love your comments on food. Recently, I made Einstein's favorite soup (It's from the cafeteria at Princeton's Institue for Advanced studies where Einstein worked later in his life. I put that soup on top of Fetticini noodles - Yummy!!!
