Amputee life before and after...

~We Skipped Spring~ :-)

I was sitting at my usual favorite spot in the
kitchen, having a coffee and listening to the
radio.. We are under the gun for a bad storm
headed dead at us.. I went to wunderground
and looked at the radar and yup.. RED.. I saw
where its even worse north of me.. Up by
Grand Rapids and Muskegon.. That's a pretty
town.. Right on the lake.. They get a lot of
lake effect stuff.. specially snow.. And if this
radar is right .. Theyre having some bad crap
too.. Said up to 50 mph winds.. I hope we don't
lose power.. When I hear that stuff, the first
thing I do is look at the power gauge on my
chair.. Just to make sure its fully charged, in
case power does go out.. I keep my manual
chair right here too.. Covered with a quilt..no
one would really know it was a wheelchair. I
only have a couch in my living room for any
one to sit on, so my manual wheelchair is an
extra place to sit.. Of course before I let
any one sit in it I make sure they know its a
wheelchair AND I make sure the brake is
set.. Sometimes when Penny has to move it
to get into the closet, she might forget to
set the brake and this is a concrete slab
under this carpet.. hitting the floor here
sure would hurt.. Its not thick carpet and
not thick padding under it.. Hit this floor
hard enough and you could, well I could too,
seriously break something.. And I KNOW
I don't want that to happen! :-) With this
storm approaching its gotten so dark outside
the street lights have come on... Me thinks
tis rally gonna storm out there :-) Joys of
spring, summer or what ever ... I think we
skipped spring.. :-)

Penny found another bird bath !! Price is higher
of course.. I paid 6 dollars last year.. Penny says
its 10 now.. AND I havta get sand.. I wonder if
Donnie kept that bag I gave him.. Well maybe he
could get some sand out of his lake ! :-) or off the
shore or somewhere.. To buy a bag for the bird
bath, I only used 1/4th of the one I got last year
for the one out there now... I bet the price of sand
has gone up too! Wasn't that much.. I don't really
remember how much.. Less than 5 dollars I think..
I know the base HAS to have weight in it.. or it
will fall over. I maybe will give the boy a call tonite,
besides asking about the sand I want to make sure
he made it back from Wisconsin... I like to check...
I know Kelli is back, but I'm not sure if she even
went anywhere ! I forgot to ask ! :-)

Carla from COA was due today and its redone for
next week.. Monday.. 9:30.. I like having a day alone
in between the busy days.. well the days when Penny
is here.. I like to have Tuesday and Thursday AND
the week end as quiet days.. I love the company days
too.. but I kinda like when I lay in bed later on the "off"
days, when I'm done with my daily body scan or feel
I guess I should say.. Well maybe scan is better :-)
But I check my self out for any new aches or pains
and to see if the ones I had the day before are better
or worse :-) Then I think about what is on my schedule
for the day.. I don't schedule anything for afternoons..
Only one comes by after 1 is the boy.. and usually by
the time he gets here its after 6 sometimes.. Hes
special.. and can come by anytime. :-)

Penny brought some of her left over Easter dinner.
Ham, baked beans, green bean casserole and some
mashed potatoes and gravy... It was WONDERFUL!
Shes a very good cook.. The ham was very moist..
the green bean casserole I havent had since I don't
know how long.. been awhile.. I don't make it for
my self, which you would think I would as much as I
like it.. She put onion strings on it too.. Which I gave,
well shared with her. I may have her make that for
me tomorrow when she comes.. I think I have all the
stuff I need.. I KNOW I have a few cans of green
beans.. I like the French style best...The thin slivers
kind.. I'm thinking of this, KNOWING there are STILL
some left in the fridge.. I just might HAVE to have
the rest for lunch.. :-) Theres a little of everything
left in the fridge... :-)

This GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry now.. :-) so you
know what that means.. Post time, and for my usual
"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...

    Hello Lois
    The weather has been so nice here, a little bit to windy at times.
    I'm staying busy trying to help clean up Pam house, with the extra work being done getting the new bathroom and laundry room ...the worker has make a big mess with all the dust that in the house now.
    But it will be worth it when it all done...then Becky will be moving in the last of this month...
    Having both girl in the same place will make it so much more easier for me. And Becky will enjoy it so much more...
    So much more cleaning to be done yet...wish that part was over.
    God bless you Lois.
    Mary
