Amputee life before and after...

~New Arms?~

I saw a show on TV a few nights ago that has
stuck in my head.. The show was about a
soldier that came back a quad.. no arms or
legs. A man died, they cut off his arms and
attached them to the soldier.... AND he sat
there, moving the fingers and arms, he was
above elbow too!  He was doing great...

I couldn't help but watch him, they didn't
attach legs, which I think since they have
to carry so much weight a transplant wouldn't
work... maybe... This is just so interesting but
scarey.....

Pennys words when I told her were "This is
Frankenstein stuff!"  And it is really.. But then
things I remember when I was young that was
considered science fiction now are happening!
We can talk out of our shoes :) That show
Get Smart, all he did was made up, but not now.

I think this replacing body parts is wonderful,
If a heart transplant would work I would do my
best to try to get one, but it wont help me, all
my arteries and veins are useless and they cant
replace all those.. So no transplant for me... :(

We are having a massive snow storm. It has
been snowing here for 3 days... I bet we have
at least 6 to 8 inches if not more out there.
Penny said the roads are terrible, the snow
is coming down so hard the plows cant keep
up with the city streets let alone out in the
country... Carl plowed my driveway yesterday
but you cant tell today. Penny was here this
morning, cleared a path to the house and out
front, which Steve cleared yesterday.. By
the time Penny left 3 hours later, you could
not tell she had shoveled at all... Its SNOWIN,,
Ive not seen a storm this bad in awhile, plus
its so flippin cold! My furnace is steady
running , my bill for last month was almost 80
dollars so I can imagine what this one will be.

Well, I'm gonna go watch it snow, I sure wish
that kid good luck with those arms...This
GORGEOUS WEEBLE hasnt had lunch yet
either :) So.. y'all keep well and God Bless...

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.....
