~I Been Sick Again~

Ive been sick for the past 4 days, and I
hate when I don't feel good.. Its the same
as I had about a month ago.. Horrible
nausea and chest pains and you name it.
This started Wednesday night and its
Sunday today and I still don't feel me...

I got some new gel type stuff from my
nurse. The phantoms, I was told once by
a Dr, they will subside, get less noticeable,
then by a pain Dr that had lost an eye, said
it never goes away and theres not much to
help.. The druggist where I get all of my
medications had a meeting with the nurses
and mine told him about mine and how super
bad they are. He suggested this gel that I
rub and massage into my stumps but I have
to wear rubber gloves when I put it on.. Its
a numbing gel. It seems to work ok, Ive not
had any really bad ones since I got this stuff
though, you know how that works... get some
thing to solve a problem and before you can
use it the problem disappears.. I know the
phantoms will be back, they never go away,
but at times, I swear they get so bad I would
take them off again if it stopped the phantoms.

Its hard to really even describe these pains
cuz theyre really in my head.. and what gets
me is I'm a logical person.. why will I not get
it thru my thick head that its not possible for
something that isnt there to hurt! Sometimes
I feel like a real idiot let me tell ya!!.. But one
description like when my big toe hurts.. its
like its being stabbed by an ice pick over and
over, fast as can be, and that hurts.....hurts ...

Well, I'm going in for a nap, I'm still a most
GORGEOUS WEEBLE just a tad sickly.. But
I'm still tickin and that's all that matters!
Y'all keep well and God Bless....


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

~Amputee Kittie~

About time I'm back hey? I get a reminder
every day from the Animal Rescue Site and
today there was a video of a little kittie..
He looks just like the kittie Penny brought
to spend the day with me, Petunia,

Anyhoway, this kittie is a amputee! His
name is Anakin, and he was born without
hind legs...He is just amazing.. nothing stops
him.. hes all over the place... Id love to have
him.. we would be a good match hey? Go look
and watch this Cutie.. its worth it...

Ive been pretty much ok, although I have had
more than usual attacks... They last a tad longer
too I notice, and most times in the morning when
I start moving around, feeding the cats n stuff.
I will first feel nauseous, and sometimes if I
sit real still..it will go away, if it doesn't then it
progresses into chest pain.. dead center and
moves up into my neck and chin, and then both
of my upper arms ache just awful.. I know what
it is.. I went for a few days without one though
which I really dread them .. they HURT! I do
take a nitro or 2 if the pain is too bad and I
have a pain med too..

Other than playing on line and making calendars
all is pretty much the same here.. I did delete
my Facebook page though.. I went there and
there was all kinds of stuff on it I didn't put
there.. so I deleted it.. I have this its enough
for me to keep up with ...

Penny made some excellent spaghetti sauce
yesterday with wide noodles.. Theres some left
so I'm gonna make some angel hair pasta I love
that stuff...and I have some frozen meat balls
by Armour that are REALLY good...almost as
good as the ones I make... :-)

So, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry of
course so I'm gonna go nuke some noodles :-)
Y'all keep well and God Bless!!!

Always, Lois ****

~Dont forget to take the pills!!~ lol..


Been awhile again but ive not been doing
the best.. I found out the hard way that
forgetting to take my pills is NOT a good
thing! I forgot Tuesday and went down so
fast it scared me when I got up yesterday,
I had 2 attacks and they taint fun!

My nurse came today and my BP is up a
tad and its just from stress.. Lots of things
are changing and my bills are too high and
I could write a list a mile long .. :-) I will
spare you that drama..

My boy called me Sunday to remind me of
the packer game later that day.. I watched
the game and they LOST! Home base they
played in Green Bay! Sad, I sure hope they
pick up... I lived 4 blocks from the stadium
when I lived there and we learned the
hard way not to venture out on game day..
The locals know to stay home...till AFTER
the game...

Its lunch , past lunch, no wonder I'm hungry.
I have no idea what but I always find some
thing.. I'm still a most GORGEOUS WEEBLE,
keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

~Checking In~


                                                                 My Morning Glories

I was gonna write today but got to thinking...
Again... and started making calendars! I then
later looked at the time, which is NOW.. and
I had forgotten to write...fooey...its later
than when I like to post but oh well lol...at
least I'm posting~!~ That's a good thing :-)

I watched a show on TLC, its about two girls,
Abby & Brittany Hensel.. they are conjoined
twins, they just turned 22.. They are two of
the happiest, prettiest and well adjusted girls
Ive had the pleasure to watch on TV... The
show was an hour long and worth every minute
to watch these 2 girls and the things they
have had to over come and endure..

They can do anything.. and it was encouraging
to watch them. We all have our trials and burdens.
They are 2 separate girls, but are one in perfect
harmony.. I watched and listened .. most times
they both said the same thing... If you get a
chance to see them or look on the net.. Specially
if you need to be encouraged...

Ive not had lunch yet and of course I'm hungry.
I have no idea what to make, I have some green
tomatoes Penny brought Friday, from her garden.
She didn't cook them! I bet she does tomorrow!
Its a holiday but shes still gonna come by.. I'm
glad...

So, this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is gonna go
cook, I shall return! Keep well and God Bless.

Always, Lois ****
