Amputee life before and after...

~Early Up~


I usually get up between 8:30 and 9, I wait
sometimes until Penny is here so she can make
coffee :-) I got up this morning, wide awake at
7:15.. I fed the boys, the ones outside too, then
had my 2 cups of coffee.. That's about it for me.
Once in a while I will have a 3rd cup.. depends on
how much I want to go back and forth getting rid
of it :-) I got up too early today ....

So now, and the rest of the day, until tonite I will
just go back and forth from my desk here or I
will go out to the kitchen and watch the birds.. This
is the extent of my day.. I don't get a lot of emails,
so I don't send near as many as I used to.. Usually,
well, the past while, Ive been closing down my PC
by 1 in the afternoon.. Then I go into my bedroom
and sit in there and watch TV, about 8 or 9 I will
get out of my chair, unless I have a sleepy spell,
and feel like I REALLY need a nap.. I will get on
my bed, I don't wanna fall out of my chair.. But
all I do constantly is SIT.. I'm not accomplishing
anything.. Its like I'm just treading water...

I do have ambition.. but to do something, like sew
or cook for that matter, its a major deal.. By the
time I am halfway done making what ever, my hands
give out and my arms.. and then Ive got to stop..
I have to hit the start button again.. to clean up the
half mess I made .. If I had continued.. still doing
what ever, I would have to wait till way later to have
the energy and the strength back in my hands and
arms... I tried cleaning out my material.. sorting it..
I didn't think.. I kept pulling this piece out, then
another, when one shelf was empty I sat for a
minute realizing how badly my arms were aching
from all the movement.. and the lifting up and
down, plus the bending.. I cant win :-) Bad thing
is.. I dunno how to fix it.. so I end up doing less
and less... It took forever to put it all back, and I
really hadnt accomplished anything!

I guess though, I do accomplish ONE thing every
day.. I write this blog.. I promised I would way
back in 2005 when I started this, that I would
write every day, as long as I can get here, Ive
missed some days.. but not many.. So I guess I
DO accomplish ONE thing daily :-)
I phoned the boy last night.. I couldn't stand it, I
had to find out how hes doing.. He sounded so
miserable.. Like he had the worst cold ever.. I felt
so bad for him.. He says he has to go back to the
doctor on Monday.. Becky is taking VERY good care
of him.. which I was glad to hear.. I hate when hes
not feeling good.. and he sounded so miserable.. The
pain he said is awful.. and all they give him is Tylenol
with codene... I cant take that crap.. Makes me sick.
Codene will tear a stomach up...They are so paranoid
about prescribing pain meds anymore its awful.. I
cant take but certain ones.. all those cette ones don't
do a thing for me.. not when I have been in pain.. But
hes on the mend.. "Thank you Lord"...

Gonna be a quiet week end..I have NO plans and I
don't expect any company at all.. I hope there is
something good on TV.. I'm sick of listening to all
this junk about Tiger Woods.. Why cant they leave
the guy alone.. All these ones saying such bad things,
these companies saying now hes a bad influence..I
wonder how many of them are so innocent... These
news people that dig and pry because they think
WE want to know only do it for the money and don't
care whos lives they invade.. Hes allowed a private
life.. They need to leave him alone. These "women"
that are confessing are only doing it for the money
and publicity.. I would think they would be ashamed
to say they deliberately invaded a family... Makes
THEM look bad and Tigers taking all the blame.. Go
figure.. :-) Hes still a great golfer and its sad that
this crap has ruined that..

OK.. this is my 2 cents for today.. Its time to post
and see what is on the menu for today.. I have NO
idea what.. Penny said she was having pizza last nite..
I have a DiGorno one in the freezer.. I might just
fix that.. Been ages since Ive had pizza.. And this
kind IS BETTER than Pizza Hut.. cheaper too!!! :-)
Anyhoway...


This GORGEOUS WEEBLE hopes you accomplish
more than me this week end...But remember.. I
shall return! YOU better TOO!! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend".
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    Dear Lois
    I use to get up early all the time 5 or 6 A.M. I love that time of day to myself...
    I'm the last to go to bed and the first to get up...I love the quiet time of day...that just me.

    This has been the longest day for me, time sure past very slow today...not to happy with my liquid diet right now and another day to go...
    My blood sugar has stayed in the 90, so that good...

    That liquid don't stay long with me and my stomach telling me all the time that I'm hungry...

    Lois so glad you write this blog everyday, it has been a blessing to me and so many other...
    It is strange for me to have a long day,always my days pass so fast since my children came along years ago...
    I know one day time will pass slow when I'm not able to stay busy with other outside of the home.
    Sunday I'm going to start a puzzle that has 5 cats on it,just 750 pieces....my sister in law gave it to us...and I will be able to work on it after surgery too.
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary

    Hi Mary,
    I get up early in the summer, cuz its light earlier.. The days are longer.. My very best favorite time of day really is sunset.. The world seems to slow down then.. the rush of the days work is done..time to relax... Liquid diet includes broth yes? chicken and beef broth are very good...Things have changed since I had mine out. I was in hospital for over 2 weeks..but then I turned YELLOW!! lol ...
    Thanks for saying that about my writings Mary, I feel so un productive sometimes..

    I LOVE jigsaw puzzles. I have one that will light up when its done.. I cant put one together here, Could you see all the fun Dutch would have with that? lol..he would have a field day.. I tried ONCE !! lol..

    I will keep you in my prayers Mary and please let me know how things are going as soon as you can ..
    Love N'Hugs,
    Lois ****
