~3 Surfaces~

There are only 3 types of surfaces that I divide my
day into sitting on..., My bed, then my foam cushion
in my wheel chair, and of course the hard cold plastic
of the potty seat lifter upper... Those are the only 3.
Think of how many different types of surfaces you
sit on in a days time.. This wheel chair cushion is
about a year old.. It still has support, but its just
something that is NOT comfortable.. This sore
spot on my tailbone I don't know what surface I'm
on that's really causing it.. cuz it hurts when I am
on all 3! :-) Its a real pain in the butt...

I did get a good suggestion from my sis last nite.
I had called to find out about Stanley. His surgery
is delayed due to the fact he has a bad cold. Shirley
suggested corn starch... Why I hadnt thought of
that I have no idea.. It should work.. I hope so, this
has to get cleared up soon, its going on a little too
long and If I had to go to the doctor about this I
would rather eat dirt. This would be so embarrassing.
SO I WILL get it healed up... :-)

I saw another deer run through the yard this morning.
Of course too fast for me to get a picture.. By the
time I got from the kitchen to the living room to see
where she went I don't think the picture would have
turned out, I missed it anyway, but she, it was a small
doe, ran right between the black labs house and the
neighbor.. I almost panicked as I was waiting to see
if the dogs, especially Jesse was outside.. They were
not.. so the deer was lucky, Jesse, I know would have
gone after her, I saw him run down a squirrel, rabbit
and 1 kid, that ran across his yard down there.. The
older dog just sat up on the porch as if to say "I have
taught the child well"..... Its fun to watch them but I
have to say I hope that doe knows how lucky she is
to have made it through there ! :-)

I have to move around for a while just to re distribute
my GORGEOUS WEEBLENESS :-) I look like a fish out
of water the way I lean over and twist around to find a
spot maybe I havent sit on- for a while anyway! :-) Its
lunch time but I don't know what I feel like fixing.. I
still have a runny nose and the sneezes.. and I CANT
forget the naggy headache... Colds are no fun... I'm
so ready to start feeling better :-) But... I Shall Return!


Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You, Is my prayer today.
I'm honored to call you Friend.

    There is egg crate. Just don't get any bed sores. As I type this I am sitting on an antique chair of modern design. It must be about 50 years old - It is a chair by Bertoia made by knowles assoc. It must have cost over $500 and I bought it for $25.00. A chair is for mankind's behind

    Hiya Momar,
    Yes, I know of that stuff and it may be a good idea..Funding for this state and any thing we need is not there, so I will have to find a source... chairs are a good thing :-)
    Good to hear from you!
    Love N'Hugs,
    Always, Lois ****
