Amputee life before and after...

~New Visitor~ :-)

New Visitor :-)
Y'all know I don't mind answering questions or
discussing just about anything.. Well its all just
life and living and we ALL have our crosses to
bear.. some easier than others, I will say, but we
all get our share.. Even the rich and famous.. some
of those celebrities have a bad private life.. money
aint everything.... cant buy your health OR happiness
for that matter.. But this morning I was thinking,
while I was at my favorite spot.. enjoying the
wonderful bird show today! Even a new guest out
there.. A black kinda bird.. Ive seen them before,
but not here.. He got along with the others.. Note
his little short tail.. I counted 4 blue jays and 3
cardinals and of course Mr. Woodpecker were all
out there :-) Anyway.. back to what I was thinking
about :-) I get off the track some times.. :-)
Short tail...
Well.. I was thinking about David.. my last hubby.
He was 20 years younger than me.. We got along
great.. UNTIL.. my legs started to give out on me,
and I couldn't do the walking like I usta.. Some
times to get to a fishing spot.. or even just to see
a sight.. up in the UP of Michigan .. well 9 times
out of 10 it included a WALK! :-) My legs started
to get bad I would say, when we still lived up North.
Not bad, but I know when we went to see the
car that went over the hill at Horse Race Rapids
and I started the climb back up those steps, my
legs hurt.. We moved from the UP to Green Bay
in 91.. From then on .. it was downhill for my
walking.. Steadily getting worse and worse, Even
though I had many leg bypasses.. They didn't work.

By the time I had my heart bypass in 2000.. I just
could hardly walk any distance at all.. Then with
having the heart surgery.. I was DOWN... I think..
if David and I hadnt gotten a divorce when we did,
which he filed in 2000, but I wouldn't agree till 2001..
when I got my senses back again.. I think if we had
been together when I had my amputations.. I don't
think David would have stayed with me.. He was NOT
a dev.. If he had been at ALL he would have stuck
it out with me and not wanted a divorce.. I believe
the statement to love was, "I love you, but I'm not
IN love with you anymore"....

I can still see and hear him sitting on the couch
looking at me saying.. "You cant go anywhere anymore,
I have to always go by myself.. and I have to take
care of you cuz your always sick..I want a divorce"...
Funny how I can almost repeat it word for word.. I
don't have it written down on paper.. but boy it sure
stayed in my head. I know if it was him.. I would have
stuck by him no matter what.. David was weak.. and
most definitely NOT a devotee...

Ive talked to a lot of Devs.. good ones, bad ones and
some that said they were but .... well I honestly DONT
think they are.. I think its more a fetish or a control
thing.. A TRUE Dev.. is kind, considerate and readily
will offer TLC.. from their heart.. Sex doesn't enter
into it.. The true ones.. want to know EVERYTHING..
just who we are.. and especially HOW we feel.. Its
sometimes not easy to weed out the TRUE DEVs...
But.. I know some that are my very best dearest
friends.. And I wouldn't trade them for nuthin.. :-)

David just couldn't accept sickness or less than
perfect I think.. sad as it may be.. I do hope hes
changed.. by now I hope he accepts people as
they are.. Maybe that's why I say perhaps I am
a devotee myself.. I accept people for whats on
the inside.. I see THAT part of them.. The out
ward appearance at first attracts.. yes.. but.. If
the inside don't match the outside.. that's NOT
good.. Davids innerds and outerds.. didn't match..
He was a handsome man.. but not on the inside..
I think I just made up new words :-)


Well that's what this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is
thinking about today.. I have NO idea why I was
thinking about David.. I hear hes back from Mexico,
maybe hes thinking of me!! Time to post this and
find some lunch.. I have left over cabbage.. MMMM..
Wanna ask questions.. or something you wanna know
about.. just write and ask !! Or leave a comment here..
I WILL reply!! AND.. I SHALL Return!! :-)

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...

    Hi, Honey,
    Both birds in the first picture are a very familiar sight over here. The blackish bird is a Starling and the little brown fellow is a House Sparrow. Starlings have a wonderful iridescence in the sunlight and, if you look carefully, lots of light flecks in their feathers. They are also noisy extroverts that can be very funny. Over here they go around in huge flocks that look like smoke from a distance. One such lives on the pier at Brighton. They roost on trees in London and woe betide you if you leave your car under a tree. Whatever colour it was when you left it, it will be white in the morning!!!
    Take care, Honey,
    Luv Ya,
    Raife
