~Not Calling~

Alex...

I'm awake, fed the kids and I have to say that I do feel a

tad better. I have a little energy and even though I have

been sneezing and have a dribbly nose, I do feel better.

I am MOST grateful too.. Ive not felt this bad in awhile

and I have to admit I am not the nicest when I feel bad.
I don't do good in hospitals either...Gail, my nurse said

to call if I wasn't better and I'm glad I don't have to call

her. I don't feel as bad as when she was here....so I'm

not calling...
Kelli and Alex....

I sure enjoyed that baby kittie yesterday, I thought about

that the whole rest of the day...such a tiny little precious

thing can make someone feel better..Either its gonna be

a very loving cat or she just liked me, cuz she never tried

to go away from me, only once and I put her on the table

to see if she would eat, she ate when I held the plate up

to her and scooped some on my finger, but she ate like

a big girl...Once they start to eat on their own they grow

so fast.
Jorge, Alex, Kelli...

The picture up top is of my honeyboy, Alex, my great

grandson, by adoption..Kelli's boy, Donnies grandson.

He was 2 in April...day before Marks birthday, April 16.

Kelli is having a baby girl in November..I am so anxious

to feel better so I could do some sewing for her..Little

girls dresses are so special to make.. I made many for

Kelli when she was little, that she loved to wear, they

all had matching panties, that she was most proud of.

On a trip to the grocery store she showed everyone

she saw her matching panties, I really did some fast

shopping that day. It was cute though :-) Her Papa

didn't think so when she lifted her skirt to show him

her matching panties :-) He didn't expect that :-)

I'm going to fix some soup for lunch..and I do believe

I have lost some weight..I can tell when I lean over to

pick up the cat dish, its easier to reach!!! :-) Losing

a few pounds is not a bad thing..I hated the way I

lost it, but I'm glad for the weight loss! I'm still a

GORGEOUS WEEBLE though and I will be back!

~Special Visitor~

I look awful but I do feel a tad better, weak,,but that's from not

eating.. I still have no appetite at all..and so far today I have

not thrown up..That- I am most grateful for and trust me I have

said "thank you Lord" just for taking this nausea away.... There

is not too much worse than throwing up,, well it could be the

other end and THAT is REALLY not good..specially for me.

To steady have to hurry to the bathroom and do all that

transferring, trust me, when you are sick..its Very hard, on

me anyway, maybe not someone thinner and younger...I

wish I was both, but for me anyway, every trip back and

forth is a lot of work..But I am glad I feel a little better...
Penny came today and made it a good one for me..My

boys are both royally pissed to put it bluntly..Penny

brought the biggest of her baby kitties...a precious

tiger that is the loviest of babies...We even got her to

eat some cat food...However, when LittleBoy saw it,

he went totally MAD, he hissed and spit at it and if

I hadnt lifted the baby away I'm sure he would have

slapped it...Dutch...he came right up to the baby,

sniffed, his ears went back on his head, his eyes

went almost glazed and he hissed, showed all his

teeth and was going to bite this baby kittie.
I was so shocked at their reaction, I thought sure

they would at least be nice and not so downright

hateful..I was most disappointed..but that answers

my question as to wether or not I can get a baby

kittie don't it? :-) I say yes to getting a And if

they are all as loveable..they are good babies....
Anyhoway, I do feel better even though I did sleep

awful last nite..My butt is giving me problems again,

but it does this when I have to stay in bed more and

these past few days, I have had NO choice but to

be in bed...If this is just a mild case of the flu, I sure

hope I don't get the full version!....I sure hope y'all

don't get this..its bad stuff..! :-)
I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, and on the road

to getting better..I'm gonna have some chicken

soup and go back to my bed and watch TV...BUT!

remember... I will return! :-)

~Gail Was Here~

Gail, my nurse just left..All my vital isgns are good..In fact

my blood pressure is kinda low, 110/70...its low for me...

I don't feel better today, but better a little than yesterday..

Gail seems to think this is the flu... I got the flu shot when

the Dr was here and she thinks, and so do I, that this is

the flu...I have lost weight, she noticed that too..But not

eating for 3, 4 days, and throwing up..the weight would

come off... I cant weigh myself so I have NO idea what

I weigh...I have to guess. Right now I would say I weigh

about 150 pounds....more or less...

Gail checked everything and did think I am dehydrated

and need fluids..She could tell I don't feel well and before

she left she said if I was not feeling better by Thursday

to call her and she will come on Friday, other wise she

will be here next Tuesday... I HOPE I'm feeling better

by then;....

So, as of right now, I am still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE

and I'm going to try to eat some toast and have a cup

of tea..sounds good...I hope it stays down..My throat

is so sore already from this...I'm so ready to feel

better and I can quit whining... :-) Bet you will be glad

to not read my whineyness too!...I shall return!

~Still Feelin Bad~

Penny came today and I got up still not feeling better..I

tried to drink a cuppa coffee, but it didn't stay...My right

side, in my back rib cage feels like someone punched

me and I have a horrible sore throat...I havent been

drinking a lot but I don't think I have a fever.. Anyhow

way, I still feel bad...

I took my pills and stayed up for a while, but had no

choice but to go back to bed...The cable and net and

phone went out for quite awhile and only just came

back on...I left my computer on since I didn't post before

I lost power and now that its back I had to post to let

you know I'm still hangin in here...

I do feel a tad better, not great but not as bad as I

did on Saturday and Sunday...those 2 days were

really rough....

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE though, no matter

how bad I feel...I had hoped with all these new pills

I would be feeling a lot better..maybe just not enough

time yet..:-)

Time to post and tell ya, I will be back! :-)

~I Cant Win~

I got up at 7 hoping I would be feeling better and sadly it

was not to be... I feel awful..nauseated and cold one

minute and burning up the next..I have a horrible headache

as well.. I didn't eat yesterday because of the nausea..Its

always something..I was hoping being on all these new

pills I would feel better..WRONG...I feel worse..I cant win.

Ive fed my boys and the outside kids, Dinky, Fuzz and

Eary were waiting for me and their breakfast. I finished

that and made my self a cuppa tea..coffee didn't sound

good..and I like tea...

As soon as I post this I am headed back to my room;

Hopefully as the day wears on I will feel better..I hate

when I don't feel up to par.

Even though I feel crappy I am still a GORGEOUS

WEEBLE and Ill be back tomorrow...

~Not Better~

As you see I am a bit early today, but I woke up feeling bad.

I cant put my finger on exactly what it is..I just feel really

crappy..Its so hot that I cant stand it..My air is on even, but

it doesn't help cool me down....I have NO idea what this is,

I don't like it I know..I got up fed all the kids and as soon as

I post this I am headed back to my room.. I'm so tired of

this crap feeling, I had hoped the pills would help, yet I feel

not one bit better...

This is short and I apologize, although not much went on

yesterday so there really isnt too much to write about I

did watch Joe and Carl put the pontoon in the garage,

I guess summer is over... Even some of the leaves have

started to change..

I do hope you have a good week end..I'm still a
GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I will return! :-)

~Im Late, and OK~ :-)

I'm late, I'm late, but I had an important date.. :-)
Gail was here this morning, I checked out ok..She

apologized for forgetting me on monday..She has

been camping out all week right at the fair grounds.

She and her family have been there all week. I told

her I wish I had known that, she could have brought

me some cotton candy...I love that stuff...But I am ok.

It is so hot and sticky and muggy these past few days,

its awful..My air conditioner came on..Which as iccky

as it was I sure needed it..I was actually sweating it

was so hot in here...probably another reason I didn't

sleep...

Ive been using my oxygen, but I sure have NOT slept

better, truth be known, Ive slept worse...I wake up all

the Time because its moved or my nose itches, I hope

all it is, is that its new, maybe once I get used to it, it

will be better, I hope so..I'm so tired today, that as soon

as I post this I'm gonna go lay down..I know part of my

problem is my pillows and in time I will get new ones,

I hope..,

So anyhoway, I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, and

its post time and..I Shall Return!~ :-)

~Vitamin D~

Yesterday was the first day to take a vitamin D pill..

They are a green gel pill...I take 1 a week for the

next 6 weeks..My count was extremely bad. Mine

was 3 when 30 is normal... I didn't know a lot about

vitamin D so I looked on wikipedia...Did you know

that sunshine is a source for vitamin D? By my not

going out, which I havent been outside now for

months, I don't even remember the last time. But

the sun is the best source for vitamin D...It was a

most interesting read...so..sunshine IS good for

you :-)

Gail finally called and her excuse was "oops, I

forgot"...That sure doesn't give me a lot of confidence

in her...I guess the fair took up all of her time and

thoughts if she could forget she had a patient to see.

She rescheduled for friday..This sort of stuff sure

doesn't impress me, and it better not happen again.

I had to call her office TWICE before she called me..

What is wrong with this picture? I don't like it I know.

Not that I am desperately ill but what if I was, would

she have the same attitude? Poor job performance

in my book..wont happen again..I can guarantee that!

I have NO plans for today and I'm glad, I didn't sleep

very well last night..I need new pillows so bad..Mine

are at least 10 years old..and the fluff has gone from

them...I need new ones...After I get my side rail, the

pillows are next on my list....

I'm posting a tad early and only because I'm tired

and I think I'm gonna take a 5..Its VERY hot and

muggy, my air conditioner even came on. but,,.I'm

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and.. I will return!

~No Gail~

Gail was sposta be here yesterday and Ive not heard from

her at all, I don't know what to think....She should have at

least let me know...She said she was involved in the fair,

but still she should have called me...I called the office and

they are going to call her...This kind of stuff makes me a

tad upset.If you say you are gonna do something...do it..

and on time..you can ask Penny one thing that makes me

mad, she will tell you, being late and not calling...specially

now since everyone has a cell phone, Well not everyone,

I dont..and I don't miss having one..We got along just fine

with out them years ago, now its like a part of some peoples

body., they cant function with out their cell phones..

I can remember when you picked up the phone and gave

the phone number to the operator..I remember one of our

phone numbers was 438J.. I can remember when we had

a party line..THAT was fun, listening to what the neighbors

were saying...:-) Amazing what the telephone has advanced

to, cameras and computers in them now...Kinda scarey, I

can only imagine what they will think of next..all this stuff we

have now was all fantasy years ago..but its REAL now...

I talked to my Dolly yesterday, we have baby girl due in Nov.

I have been trying to find someone that knits to make some

booties..I may dig out my baby flannel and make some

receiving blankets for her...I'm sure she has most everything

she needs that she got from Alex..but still a new baby and

a girl..well she needs pink stuff..:-) Alex is doing fine.getting

big..he was 2 in april...he can talk now, and- in English and

spanish.. I think that's good..Kelli is very fluent In Spanish

herself..but then she HAD to learn it ..her hubby speaks it..

and all.of his family..

Rainy, hot, muggy day. Ive been using my oxgen at night

and it keeps me awake alot. The nose thing makes my

nose dry and itchy, plus its uncomfortable, I guess its

cuz I'm just not used to it..I havent felt better these past

2 days, so I dunno.. The nurse called from my doctor

and they said some vitamin is VERRRRRRY low, bad

bad..So..now I have another pill to take...My count she

said was 3 and normal is 30..I'm a tad off ..:-)

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE even though I'm off..

I'm off now to find some lunch..what I have no idea..I will

find something..and I WILL return! :-)

~Was True~

Its 11am, and I am only just now booting up this computer.

I can remember when I first got online how I stayed online

for hours and hours, hating to log off for fear of missing

something...My first chat place was MIRC, I liked it there,

lots of nice people...I found out about yahoo chat, checked

it out and never went back to MIRC..I guess its still there...

Yahoo is where I got my first introduction to this "other"

world..The disabled world- and where this friend from India

told me about devotees...I remember I called him a fibber.

I found out all he told me was true...

Ive changed a lot since then, I was steady online, nowdays

I bet I don't have this computer on but for a few hours..I get

everything done that I need to, well sometimes, I don't always

reply to email like I should....For me , now, I enjoy looking out

my door, more than this computer screen...There is life out

there, I do appreciate the power a computer can give a

person, anytime day or night I can click on Google and go

and visit any country, or city in the world and go on my own

private tour..Computers are a good thing..I'm just saying,

take a look out the window too...Don't let all that pass you

by....

Gail is due to come today, I'm waiting for a phone call telling

me she is on the way. This is fair week, the kids were even

out of school Monday because of the fair..Gail is in it too,

chickens I think she said..When she can find someone to

take over for her she will be here....I hope she calls from

the fairgrounds, I will have her get me some cotton candy.

I LOVE that stuff..That's the best part of the fair, all the good

food..I know some that only go to it because of the food..

Ive not been to the fair in I bet 15 years, I honestly don't

remember the last time I went..I wonder if they are wheel

chair accessible? Probly parts are, the rides I bet they

wouldn't let someone like me on it, just for insurance

reasons, I'm guessing...

I still have a few things to do before Gail gets here as I

want Gails visit be the last thing for today..Then I can

eat and shut down.. Its a busy week again..Oh- I did

get my Oxygen, I used it last night..It says I can use

at night or as needed, I'm on 2 liters...Its a nice compact

machine..I will take a photo of it..In the meantime I am

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE..and I will be back!! :-)

~Oxygen Day~

Busy day today, Penny is here and got us all cleaned up from

the week end..I am expecting Scott, I thought his name was

Dave, the oxygen guy, but its Scott, he phoned a while ago,

and was in Battle Creek, and headed this way..Hes coming

to set up my oxygen..Its for at night or as needed...

Dr. Mazei prescribed a pain patch for me but it wont stick.
Its so small..it comes right off....Its a very low dose to start

then on the 29th it will be increased, then again if It needs

to be.. It doesn't do anything, I feel no difference.,..maybe

a higher dose might make one, I don't know..this is sposta

be pretty strong stuff.. Dr Mazei said cronic pain cant be

treated with a as needed pain medication, that a daily

medication is all that will work with pain like I have, which

is the daily phantoms..I think she has dealt with lots of

amputees before...I'm glad of that...Dr Mazei is a D.O.

which is a doctor of everything...

One thing ive noticed and so has Penny is that I have NO

appetite, all week end I had a bowl of soup and fries...that's

all..Not much..But my no appetite is also because I don't

have the energy or stamina to make something..If its not

microwavable I leave it alone. I just still have no energy..

Penny always offers to make anything I want when she is

here, and will usually make enough for a couple days,

and that works great.. Today for example I am not the

least bit hungry and I have NO idea what to have Penny

make..I did have her pick up some more soup though...

Gloomy dark rain threatening day..Scott should be here

soon and I still have to change clothes and have Penny

straighten my bedroom..I have no idea what or how

much equipment there is with this oxygen... So..I better

get started...Gail, the nurse, comes tomorrow..Busy

week..

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE though and just to

remind you..I WILL be back! :-)

~Poor Trina~

All you hear about lately is this horrible drug Meth.. I had

hoped I would never know anyone on it..Sadly that's no

longer true..While I was staying at Donnie and his then

wife Shirley, there were 2 young women I met, they were

horse people, like Shirley...Nice, pretty young women. One

of them was Trina... I liked her. She was very pretty and
had a nice family....and loved horses...

Apparently, a few days ago..Trina and the other young woman

I met, I cant remember her name, were making METH...it blew

up and Trina and the other young woman got burnt..By the time

they got Trina to the hospital she was dead...The burns were so

deep by the time they got her there all was lost...And to make

matters worse, Trina's granddaughter was a witness to all this,

thank God she wasn't burnt..The other young woman is in very

serious condition and not expected to live...Is this sad or what...

This has upset me as to how these people KNOW what can

happen, how dangerous AND addictive, just one try and you

are hooked.,.,.,yet they do it anyway...Ive seen familys go to

jail because of this..daughter, son, and dad..that's so sad..

I just don't understand how anyone can hate themselves so

much to deliberately use this stuff knowing the outcome..Now

that poor grand daughter has to live the rest of her life with

the image of her grandmother dying so horribly...The law

and government worry so much about pot, which something

like this never happens to pot smokers..They need to do

something about this horrible drug..

I watch that COPS show, no, I used to watch it..I don't any

more...I get upset when I see how brutally they treat every
one and assume every person uses pot..These police

forces spend more money on arresting prostitutes or

pot users when there are more serious drugs..meth being

one....Its so sad....Ask Penny about what Meth can do to

a family..she has stories of her own...

Well I just went on and on didn't I..but this is a major thing

nowdays and me, I wish there was something I could do

to help stop this outbreak..I guess this is one place to start.

In case you don't know ..now you do..Meth is very very bad.

Poor Trina, not even 50 yet, she will never see her grand

grow up..or enjoy her horses again.. sad sad..

What I am happy to say though is I saw some birds! Cardinals

and jays..and the doves! I was so glad to see them..Well-- its

early, I know, and I have no plans for today, I do need to catch

up on some email..Ive been a bad friend, not staying in touch

like I should..I'm gonna try to make up for it.. Other than it being

a rainy day and I have a pain patch on , I still ache..SO this

GORGEOUS WEEBLE is signing off for today..BUT.. I will

return! :-)

~i Forgot~ :-(

I forgot my boys birthday, can you believe that? Ive been so

involved with my own crap that I totally spaced out it being

Donnies birthday...How I found out was, he phoned last night

and while we were talking he said something about eating

some chocolate cake..I asked where he got the cake, he

says "Kelli made it for me, for my birthday"...I felt really bad.

She usually reminds me...I'm lucky I can remember what

day it is or even year for that matter...I did tell him happy

Birthday though...Hes 45.. I think..:-)

I have been worried about not seeing Carl outside since

he worked on the roof..I saw Joyce out side, she was

trimming some low tree branches. I saw Carl out there

after a while and he sure is not walking good..His left

leg looks pretty stiff and limpy..I hope he gets better..

He was always doing something, and its hard ofr some

one like that to not be able to do things..

When Stanley is down and not allowed to do things he

about drives my sister nuts..Shirley and I laugh about

it cuz we know how active a man he is..Hes constantly

doing something or on the go...My dad was the same

way, he worked up to the day he died..Donnie is like

that..when hes confined he turns into someone other

than himself..I believe Donnies statement was, "Now

I know why the dog is so happy to see me when I

come home"..this was when he wasn't allowed to do

anything and had to wait for his wife to come home

from, work so she could take HIM out... :-)

Its a rainy satday and I have no plans and no idea of

what I want to eat...Soup sounds good, and being a

ickky day and kinda cool..Its a good soup day..So

Anyhoway, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna

post this and just relax..Happy Weekend! I will be

back! :-)

~Hectic Day~

I'm late today...its been very hectic , bad thing is Ive not

gotten one thing done..Penny came and we are all clean

and she even worked on that cement slab that's out by

the birdbath..Shes very good at doing things that are

not on her job description..but I sure appreciate that she

is working on that...The birds havent been around in a

long time, but I think its because its harvest time...

She went to the drug store to fill my prescription..well no.

just to pick it up..Its a patch that I wear for 72 hours..its

for cronic pain..Ive not heard anything from the Dr as far

as that breathing test which tells me perhaps that guy

read it wrong..He said I should have oxygen, and that he

was sending the results to my dr..and she would take it

from there, well no word I guess he miss read..I hope so

anyway...

So other than that my day is finished..My inside boys are

fighing just awful today, and why I have NO idea..Ive had

to break them up at least 3 times already..LB is roaming

around whining...and as sweet as that cat usually is, hes

being just the opposite today..Hes being a tyrant and Dutch,

hes just staying away from him.. I don't blame him at all..I'm

staying away from LB too! :-)

I have no idea what is for lunch, I really have no appetite

at all..nothing sounds good... but....I'm still a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE though..and I shall return! :-)

~Survivor Amputee~

I was watching TV last night and this show called Survivor

came on... I don't usually watch this kind of show, what some

people will do for money really surprises me..this was the

starter show for the season and I was curious to see who

was on it this time...One of them was an amputee...a rbk.

No one noticed it at first, she had long pants on.. But she

openly showed it to first one then to all the others..They

asked a member of the other team if they would treat her

differently because of this and he of course, said no, but

I believe it will matter as the game progresses..

It showed her removing her prosthetic and everything, then

a great picture of the leg laying on the beach as she hopped

down to the surf, where all the others were swimming.. It was

most interesting..Even though I am a amputee I hadnt ever

seen a leg put on or off and all the socks under it..was most

interesting and I'm glad I saw it...Was called Survivor..

Nicaragua.... Its only interesting now because this young

amputee is on it..for me anyway...But how she looks is how

I looked at one time..Not for very long, but I can remember

hopping like that..but NOT into that wonderful water, I was

hopping down the hall at the hellhome...

The breather guy came and picked up that finger thingie,

and showed me the results..apparently my heart rate goes

to below 45 and I stop breathing, or I am holding my breathe.

He said I should have oxygen at night and..that the Dr may

want further tests to check me during the day..Always some

thing..He said my Dr will let me know..Ive not heard anything.

Rebecca came by this morning, I had to sign some papers

for my file..update stuff I think.. I have NO idea what I signed,

but I trust her :-) She got a really nice new car, kinda silver..

I forgot what kind it is..She didn't stay long and is still on

the lookout for a headboard or siderail for me..It would help

me a lot, to sit up...that's the hardest part and most strained

thing I do...A siderail would sure help, or a headboard..I

sleep sideways remember.. :-)

Rainy day and I have nothing else on the schedule for today,

that I know of..SO, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna

find some lunch;.what.. I have no idea..I'm not really hungry..

I havent had much of an appetite lately...Penny even noticed.
said she can tell by the number of dishes she has to wash...

Time to post.. Remember.. I shall return!! :-)

~Doctor Visit Day~

It was a very hectic day yesterday. My doctor showed up and I

got my flu shot, which ive not had one in years.. lets hope I

don't get the flu now since I did get the shot.. The nurse had

to draw blood again, lets hope this time she got enough..The

doctor said my cholesterol is VERY bad, very high, so she

doubled my dosage on those pills..My blood pressure was

kinda high which I didn't understand, but I hadnt taken my

pills yet either...But it was 148 over 111...not good...every

time my nurse takes it its fine! I dunno..

Dr Mazie and I discussed phantom pain, I told her that I

am never without pain or feeling in my invisible legs and

feet..she said its Cronic pain and the only way to really

control it is with a daily pain medication...which she has

prescribed for me.. lets hope it takes the edge off..

ANYHOWAY..after the Dr left I got a phone call from the

guy that is gonna set up the sleep test..He got here about

3 and showed me what to do with this little contraption...Its

just like the finger thing they use in hospital..just clamps on

the end of your finger....I was to put it on when I was gonna

go to sleep..I really never know when that is..but I put it on

my finger about 9:30..nothing good was on TV so I decided

to try to go to sleep.. I did ...for a while.. I slept AWFUL..I

was so worried about that stupid thing coming off my finger

I bet I woke up a million times to check and make sure it

was still on! I slept VERY little.. I am so tired right now I

cant stand it..

Penny is here and Stinky still has not returned..I worry about

that cat...I still have Dinky here but I still worry about Stinky,

where is he eating etc...I hope hes ok... I told Penny as soon

as she leaves I am going back to bed...Dave the guy with

the breather test phoned and he will be by within the hour

to come and get this gadget, he phoned from Battle Creek,

so it shouldn't take him long to get here..

Other than that I'm counting the days to the end of this month..

This one seems to be sooooo LONG! Feels like a 5 week

month..those are so hard on me...I can only barely make it

through..Today for the rest of it..This GORGEOUS WEEBLE

is resting and hopefully sleeping a bit...However.. I hope you

know.. I will be back ! :-)

~Dr.Is Comin~

The Drs office phoned and the Dr will be here between 11 and 1.

I dread it but oh well.. To see a Dr once a month makes me think I'm

sick or something..seems like a lot..where every 2 months or so, I

would think would be enough..But then I don't get paid for thinking..

But I have lots to do before she gets here so this will be a short

post... I didn't know until they phoned this morning what time they

would be here...

Anyhoway, I need to go and take a bath and get the living room

in order..its not out of order, but I need to pull up the shades etc

so there is enough light.. I better get busy cuz it takes me forever

to do stuff..

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and I'll be back tomorrow to

fill you in on this Dr visit..hopefully I will have nothing new or

major crap to tell ya.. I shall return! :-)

~Gail Visit~

Gail, my nurse just left..I'm doing ok..my BP was 128 over 88,

which is good.. She checked me all over and I told her about

the lower back pain or hip or what ever that is that's hurting..

Shes gonna pass it along to the doctor..She predicts the Dr

should be coming this week or next...

I slept awful last night..the worst night Ive had in awhile...This

pain is so bad and its really hard to say exactly where it is.. I

feel it in my hip, but I also feel it in I guess my pelvis. I dunno...

But it makes it extremely hard to sit with any kind of comfort..

which gets old very fast..

Penny came today and is making some spaghetti sauce. My

sis brought some great different kind of pasta that Penny has

not been able to find..what kind we will use today I'm not sure.

I know as soon as I eat I am taking a nap..I sure need one :-)

This is a short post but its not my fault..busy day..I'm still a

GORGEOUS WEEBLE and guess what? I shall return!

~Jays Are Back~ :-)

I was and have been worried about the no birds...I think its

because of harvest time and their is so much food for

them..I was surprised to see 2 blue jays though..and a

cardinal this morning..I havent seen a jay in a long time..

I tried to get a photo of the 2 but of course they are just

too fast for me..I had worried for a while that the cats

might be scaring them off, but they arent afraid of them,

Ive seen some of the birds come right up by them to

steal a piece of cat food! I didn't know birds liked it,

but they do! Ive watched them many times...
My butt hurts.. :-) I keep sayin its my hip but its really

not... cuz its my butt really..deep inside, which makes

me think its more pelvis than hip..I can just imagine

how hard it is for a HD to be comfortable all the time.

It has to be really hard and take special cushions

and stuff to be able to sit for any length of time..I know

for me, the more time goes on..its 9 years for me,

and its getting harder and harder for me even...my

butt, hip, pelvis or what ever HURTS!
I have to say these water pills work..my eyes look

and feel a lot better..I can tell in my hands too. I

really don't see any change in my stumps though,

which Gail says she can..She checks them every

time she comes..she thinks they are softer...I see

no change in them...

Nice day today and I'm not got anything planned,

I might watch a movie, or watch my yard..with TV

the way it is my yard is a lot nicer to see..:-)


ANYHOWAY, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna

post this, then have some lunch..Remember tho, I

shall return! :-)

~Hurtin Hip~

Pouring rain today,,I did manage to get the outside kitties

fed..I was glad to see Eary..hes so skinny.. but I saw him

eat today and that makes me feel better when I KNOW

they've eaten.. This rain is making my hip, the right one

hurt so bad.. Started yesterday, so I knew it was gonna

rain.. I slept just awful last night cuz I just couldn't get

comfy at all.. Penny even adjusted all my covers and

pillows yesterday, but I still slept bad.. I bet I was awake

more than what I slept.. This hip Is whats keeping me

awake, the pain goes all the way across and down the

short leg bone...THEN to really aggravate me it will go

all the way down to my invisible foot...Really hurts..not

having a comfy way to sit is most aggravating...you

have NO idea..its hard to even describe....

Donnie and John came up for a visit last night, I'm glad

they do..Usually at least once a month Donnie knows he

needs to come up here..Hes not that far away ..about

30 miles..but considering he has to travel all the way to

Indiana to go to work EVERY day, he drives alot...He

likes to come by and just check to make sure all is ok

here..he looks out for me.. :-) Hes a good kid...:-)

My boys have been fighting a lot and I have NO idea

why..It may be because of all the outside cats, but I

don't see why they would fight each other..LB has

gotten a bad attitude and for no reason at all will go

by Dutch and just slap him..Of course Dutch isnt

gonna take that and the fight is on! Kids....

I have no plans for this rainy day, I may go thru my

movies and watch something..Tv sucks anymore..

Some of the shows they call. reality shows I have

to wonder WHO's reality...sure not mine!

Anyhoway, I'm gonna post this and watch the rain

fall for a while THEN I may eat..GORGEOUS
WEEBLES need nourishment :-) Happy week end.

Remember.. I will return! :-)

~Im Late Again~

I just now noticed the time, and I'm late...No excuse either..I'm

just tired and lazy and in one of those funky mood where I just

feel crappy. I'm in a bad mood...Maybe cuz I had to mail out

all my bills today, I'm late on those too..I just get discouraged

and wonder "what is all this for"... I bet every person on this

planet feels that way at some time or other...Today is my day,

ive had them before and they go away whether I figure out my

purpose or not :-)

Its a nice day today, and the temps are gradually dropping..
Penny came today and of course the first thing I asked her

was if Stinky came back..She said he had but was gone

again, one of her guys lets him out..which if he came back

from before it should be ok to let him wander..she needs

to get him neutered though..Penny moved the babies into

the house and said they are doing just great..We don't

remember what day they were born! She forgot to write

it down..I think they were a week old Tuesday... She said

they are just precious and the mom is a very good one..

Not a lot of news, specially when I'm in a bad mood..But,.

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE, moody or not..:-) Time

to post and try to feel useful :-) I shall return! :-)

~Rebecca Visit~

Rebecca phoned a bit ago and asked if she could stop

by this morning..Of course I said yes.. Ive been kinda worried

cuz I havent heard from her for a while.. I asked if everything

was ok and she assured me all is well...I hope that's true...I'm

gonna post this early and wait for her..
I have been telling you that Ive seen more than one hummer...

but ive never gotten a photo! well I finally did of two of them..

They deliberately posed for me..I keep looking for babys but

ive not seen any...

I feel ok today, not the greatest..in fact to be honest, I'm tired.

I know I fell asleep with the TV on...which I havent done a lot

lately..but I musta fell asleep instantly when I laid back..:-) The

next I knew it was 2:20...I at least remembered to turn the

ceiling fan on before I got up on the bed.. I forgot it the other

night and I slept miserable but it was too big of a job to get

back IN and OUT of my chair..so I slept without it on..I cannot

do that if I want to sleep and breathe ! :-)

Anyhoway, I'm gonna wait for Rebecca and I'm a tad hungry

I may make some toast...I have left over meatloaf for lunch

so you KNOW how good that's gonna be! Always better the

next day. :-)

Post time for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE..remember tho..

I shall return!!

~Stinky Ran Away~ :-(

Penny made it today and told me Stinky got outside and

hes run off somewhere..I sure hope he can find his way

back to Pennys or even here...I hope hes just exploring

and by the time Penny gets back home hes there.. The

other kittie I call Dinky is and has been here..Hes just as

lovey as Stinky.. Fuzzer and Eary both showed up this

morning too.. I was glad to see them and know at least

they are eating.. .

Travis came yesterday and we had a nice visit..About 20

minutes after he left Gail showed up.. She checked me

over and my BP is still kinda high..Not the top number but

the bottom.. It was 130/98 which is still kinda high..The

bottom number shows my heart is not resting.. which isnt

really good..

Gail put that thingie on my finger, to test my oxygen level

and while she was holding it my level steady went down,

which is not good.. Gail knows I sleep with a lot of pillows,

10 to be exact, and that I have to sit up to be able to breathe,

she again suggested that I use oxygen at night. She is gonna

relay her findings to my doctor...so we shall see what transpires

from that...no telling.. I know if I didn't have my ceiling fan I

would not be able to breathe at all !

Today is meatloaf.. We havent made that in awhile so it should

be good.. I am still tired but hopefully after lunch I can lay down

and take a 5 or maybe a 6 :-) I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE

though.. and.. I will return. :-)

~Penny Took Stinky Home~

Stinky is gone. Penny took him home with her yesterday.. I

cried..I really wanted to keep that cat..He was so lovey and

just a sweet kittie..I'm glad Penny took him.she will take good

care of him..I know her guys will like him.. I just am glad to know

he wont get wet anymore and hopefully he will be warm this

winter..I know they will love him...

If felt odd to look out side this morning and not see Stinky

waiting for me and jumping up on the door meowing..The

white faced kittie was out there and off over by the garage

I saw Eary... he was waiting ..he worries me hes so skinny..

so abused looking. I wish I could get my hands on him ..Hes

so skittish and will run off when ever he sees even me too

close to him...I feel so bad for these cats...

I had an awful afternoon and was up most of the night..I

dunno what upset my stomach but I was in the bathroom

at least every 2 hours..It was awful...About 6:30 I finally

dozed off but I had to be up cuz Travis was due at 9:30,

so I didn't sleep long..Plus Gail is due at noon.. I never

sleep good when I know I havto get up early.. If its a day

when Penny is due I stay In bed till I hear her out here..

Plus she makes coffee :-)

Gail is due about noon..just a check.. I will tell her about

last nite as I still feel crappy and this HEADACHE is making

me crazy.. I NEVER usta get headaches..So I don't know

what is causing this..maybe cuz of being back on pills..I

have no idea...I havent taken my BP which I usually do

before she gets here just to compare her readings and mine.

But I just feel pure D crappy today..Was a horrible night and

I need a nap I think.. I bet I transferred a zillion times last

night..TOO many :-)

BUTTT.. I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE just having a

puny day..a puny day is better than NO days so I am NOT

complaining... Hope your're having a good day! Remember

I WILL return! :-)

~Tired Day~

I am so tired today and have a headache that is almost

driving me insane.. I got up just before Penny came and

when I got out here to the kitchen the first thing I said to

her was, "I'm still tired".. and its 11:15 right now and I'm

even more tireder.. As soon as I post this I'm going back

to take a nap.. Hopefully it will get rid of this headache

and I will get rid of this tiredness.. I dunno whats causing

it..By now the thyroid should have kicked in and given me

some energy, its worked just the opposite, unless its my

heart that's doing me in like this and making me tired..I

dunno.. I know I had to get up 3 times last nite..:-( that may

be contributing to my tired!

I do know that every little thing tires my arms out just awful.

I didn't cook anything all week end for just that reason.. I

was glad I had those beans already made.. Today Penny

is making a couple brats with fried potatoes for me before

she leaves.. and she leaves at 12:30 so I'm hoping she has

time when she gets back from the store..The boys, inside

and out need dry food.. Stinky has been here all week end,

he loves his box.. Its threatening rain, but I hope it doesn't

until I can get him a better box..

I'm tired and I gotta go lay it down..I'm stll a GORGEOUS
WEEBLE, just headachy and tired..But !!! I shall Return!

headache free I hope. I'm just so glad they arent working

on the roof or I really would go insane! :-)

~Day 9 ?~

They worked on the roof all day yesterday, until after 7 last

night... You have NO idea how tired I am of hearing the pounding

and dragging not counting the horribly LOUD bangs that have

knocked stuff off my shelf in the living room.. :-( I will be so glad

when they are done.. I was hoping yesterday WAS the last of it,

WRONG, they started again about 8 this morning... :-( I am NOT

happy..How many days is this now its taken them to redo this

roof? I think today is day 9...

Poor Carl looks like his knee is out..Hes gimping around and you

can see hes in pain.. Hes walking very stiff legged, not bending

his knee, at first I thought maybe was his hip..but I think its his

knee..Hasnt stopped him from helping the roof guy though..

I spent most of fhe day yesterday in my room which is about as

far away as I can get from this pounding. I watched TV, there wasn't

very much on that was any good..I'm posting this early and gonna

do the same thing today...go to my room ..I feel like I been bad and

sent to my room for punishment ..:-) But its better than being right

under these hammer strikes...This guy from what I hear, I'm wondering

does he know what hes doing..first hes above the livingroom then he

moves down over the kitchen.. today same thing... wish he would do

a whole row at a time..something ...anything! Just to hurry up and get

it done. If I had known this was gonna drive me insane for 2 weekends

I would have made arrangements to go somewhere else..This is

so maddening and I have a HEADACHE !!! ANYHOWAY....

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE but with a headache! I'm gonna post this

and go to my room.. I wont even pass go.! I wish I could collect 200.oo

dollars though .. Monopoly is one of my favorite games..:-) SO..I'm

posting and remember.. I shall return! Hopefully it will be QUIET!!!!!

Shhhhhhhhh.. :-) Happy week end...:-)

~Roof Ain't Done~ :-(

I'm posting early... I need to get out of this kitchen and as

far away from it as possible... I had hoped they had finished

the roof..ya, sure, NOT!!!.. I got up early, fed all the kids and

was sitting in my usual spot having my coffee, I recognized

the truck soon as it pulled up in the driveway out there..Was

the roofer guy..By 7:30 the scraping, pounding, dragging

started.. So much for a quiet relaxing week end...:-( The roof
aint done.. RATZZZZ :-(

I saw Joyce come over to help..then I saw Carl..hes not walking

very good..Hes got a pretty bad hitch in his get along...:-) I bet

its from climbing around up on that other roof...Hes staying on

the ground.. I saw it cloud up and I almost wished it would rain

so this would Stop for a while, but I thought again and Id rather

he hurry up and get it done and over with..Maybe it wont take

all week end, this is a holiday week end..Labor Day is Monday.

Kinda the last holiday of summer, before school starts.. Lots

going on everywhere ....

Anyhoway I havta go in my bedroom, its a lot quieter in there..

The boys are already in there..Smarty cats :-) I am sO SICK

of this pounding, but I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and,..

I will return..hopefully it will be quieter! :-)

~Stinky In The Box~ :-)

Stinky in the box.. :-)

Penny made it today, and showed me photos of her babies..

They are just precious..When they are bigger she is gonna

bring one so we can see how my boys react..Id love to have

a baby kittie..What I WOULD like would be to let Stinky in..

Hes such a love.. I put a box covered in a plastic bag to keep

the rain off of him and he ignored it..Till today and he is in the

box.. :-) If I had a deck out there I could keep that cat..Hes so

pretty and I love him..It just drives me crazy seeing him wet and

when it starts getting super cold or snowing I will really go insane.

So maybe it is a good thing if Penny takes him home and gets

him neutered and keeps him inside.. Hes such a lovey boy..he

deserves some lovin.. :-)
Ive been worried the past few days about not seein any birds at

all! No where, even in the other yards, Ive not seen any birds..I

guess since its corn cuttin time they are in the fields...Yesterday,

while I was waitin for Gail I saw the cardinal first, then those little

brown birds showed up...Theyre back! I'm glad...I missed seeing

them...

VPA called and increased the dose of two of my prescriptions.

and added b12 which is just vitamin that I will have to pay for. I'm

not gonna do that..so now, I need to call VPA and inform them of

that..I dunno why they want me to take b12 anyway.. I will find out..

Always somethng it seems..

Anyhoway, once Penny leaves I have no plans till she comes back

on Monday, which is ok by me.. I could use the quiet time.. I dunno

whats for lunch but we will find something..In the meantime I am

still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE ..hope you have a great week end,

and remember,,, I shall return~!~

~1 Appointment Today~

I have only one thing scheduled for today, that's Gail, my

nurse coming about 5.. I really Hate having anything set

for that time of day, but I have no choice, I prefer morning

stuff...I have to wait all day now to get things done..Well I

mean finished...By 1 or 2, I'm ready to close down...

The Drs office called yesterday and have increased 2 of

my pills and have added a new one, b12 or something..

The Dr increased the water pill and my heart pill..She said

that the results of the thyroid were not there I guess they

didn't draw enough blood, so.. you KNOW what that means..

They will be coming for blood next... never ending....

Its pouring down rain today and I can sure tell..I woke up so

achey.. I got my tripled electric bill and even though I NOW

keep my thermostat on 80 my bill has still gone UP....This

stink about electric rates with Consumers Energy seems to

be true.. I raised my thermostat to try to cut down on my bill..

has done no good at all..They have a special rate for summer,

higher than at any other time of year..For someone like me

that HAS to have AC to be able to breath..we get no special

consideration...Penny is scared to see hers..last month hers

was over 300.. Id stroke out if mine was that big, I almost did

anyway and mine is half that...

Stinky the kittie has been outside in this rain..I tried to pet him

a little, I'm scared to let him in, cuz I know he would spray and

plus I don't know how my boys would treat him...They are so

spoiled and may not like an intruder..LB growls at him thru the

door when I have it open a little.. :-) Stinky is all wet and he is

huddled by the door, I feel so bad for this cat..he breaks my

heart.. I covered a box with a plastic bag and put that out there

in hopes he will get in it and out of the rain.. Hes not nosey and

is just looking at it..Dutch would have been in that right away,

in fact he kept trying to get in it while I was fixing it :-)

Its almost post time and I need to find something for lunch,

what I have NO idea..I will find some thing I have NO doubt.

I'm still a GORGEOUS WEEBLE and, yup. :-) I Will Return!

~Im Late~

Look at the time, I'm late but Its not my fault..Bonnie from

VPA...my doctor.. came to do the echogram of my heart..

Its ticking.. That's all I know, Bonnie didn't say anything one

way or the other... I couldn't stay in my chair for this test tho

as she did a EKG at the same time, so I had to get up on my

bed and lay down so she could do this. It was the same kind

of machine, or looked the same ...Took almost an hour to do

it..and I don't know the results.. I looked at the screen, but I

didn't know what I was looking at. I could see my heart beating

but that's all...I'm sure they will let me know...

Anyhoway, Penny came today and we are all clean and set

for a few more days..Guess what Penny has at her house?
BABY KITTIES!!! One of the females had 2 babies...She

said they are so cute..I cant wait to see them...The mom had

them right outside the back door steps... I'm glad the mom

didn't hide them...Penny is quite pleased..her guys already

have them named..:-) Penny said when they are weaned a

little she will bring one so I can see it.. Baby kitties are so

cute. She will take some pictures.. :-)


I'm hungry and I need to take my meds..So this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE needs to get on with this day..sorry I'm late but..oh

well... No one has left a comment in almost a week.. IS ANYONE

OUT THERE READIN? LET ME KNOW PLEASE.!..Keeps me

encouraged when I read comments.. :-) But I WILL return..

comments or not... :-) Y'all have a good day!
