Hey TJ, I'm fine, just trying to get things done. My pain level has gone down, haleluja, and I can stay up a tad longer than before. It has been 3 and a half weeks since scourgery, and complain as I might, it does seem to be healing although I still am not to put any weight on my foot for another 3 or more weeks. Thandks ofr checking on me.
Hmmm looking at the baove and other words spelled cockeyed, I must be having trougble with my fingers or brain or both. I use to be an ace speller, spell and pronounce any word. Now it seems when I spell a word, it doesnt look right, even after looking it up in old websters book of words. I promise I will try to do better.
Hey Lynn, do you know which knee scooter your daughter is using? The one that was recommended and given a prescription for from a medical supply store, is a killer, literally . I have fallen over and almost fallen over on it a zillion and a half times. the wheels are too small! ! ! ! ! I have survived by the grace of God only. I'm surprised someone hasnt sued the manufacturer and or supplyer.
I purchased one on line that has ALL TERRAIN PNEUMATIC TIRES. They are about 12 inches in diameter and come with mag wheels. It is a 3 wheel scooter and comes with a training wheel which I plan to keep on it.
It is by far better than the rented scooter. This new scooter will go over pretty much anything, Dixie Belles toys ie teddie bears that she leaves in the middle of my path, which the rented one would just stop. The new one has a longer turning radius needing two or three point backups. There is always a trade off in most things, I prefer the newer one because I can go over thresholds and bumps and carpets and the like, and outside without having to pick the front end up to go over the obstacle.
Since there is the possibility of 2 or 3 people in our family needing one somewhere down the road, and storage is not a problem, we opted to buy one. It is made by a company called KNEEROVER.COM, and is carried by amazon.com for 289.00 dollars. No tax and no shipping charges. We ordered it last Wednesday, and it got here today.
Hey John, I would certainly use the canabis oil, if it would work, and if allowed to. I have heard about it helping numerous maladies, and am just stunned by the idiot moron maggot dufus idiots in government that would deny anyone to use anything that would help relieve discomfort, and or cure a malady! IDIOTS ! ! !
But hey, maybe someday I'll let my personal feelings be known! Could it be the AMA that is urging congress to drag their collective feet so more money could be spent on more research and more dr visits ie more insurance money? Or maybe the drug companies? Or how about the drug dealers? If a socalled narcotic is made legal, drug dealers will be out of bidness...yea!
I know, I know, I'm a cynic and rightly so knowing what I know about our illustrious leaders. Oh well Kay sarah sarah....
No word yet on our grandaughter other than the neurologist gave her something to help with her headaches, which seems to work we think. We generally are outside of the loop of the goings on of our children and grandchildren, sadly to say. Kevin did say they were going to do all the tests over again and this time really look long and hard and search far and wide ad nauseum! My question would be, why didnt they do that when they first did the tests? If youre not going to do the best that you can do, why bother? Insurance money would be my guess, but hey, I'm a cynic remember!
My grandson did come out Sunday and brought with him 2 other friends he went to A&M with. They moved a 50 foot section of fence and a gate and built 3 wheelchair ramps for us. All three young men (23, 24) were as polite and helpful one would imagine. It was like having Teddy , Jimmy Stockton, and Dennis Dorsey in their youte, just to name 3 off the top of my head, over helping us . Or any one of the fine young men I went to school with.
They were amply rewarded for giving up their free Sunday they might have otherwise used to catch up on sleep and or attending a BBQ etc.
It has been a beautiful day today, as it was yesterday. Both days started out around 48 degrees, but warmed up significantly. Fireflies are having a party tonight.
I can tell Diane is getting pretty well worn down having to attend the animals and me. I try to be as helpful as possible and not demand anything that I can get for myself. It is hard to carry things and keep both hands on the handlebars of my scooter. The new one did come with a basket in front, so that should help significantly. I am confident in retrieving things like ice packs for my leg, and bottles of water and any snack I might find desireable, and or my glasses and phone etc, without having to involve my beloved!
I generally can do the things around the house that I am use to doing, albeit slower than usual, about twice the time it generally takes me, but I still can be useful, like make the bed, pick up pillows and the like, clean litter boxes and feed the critters, but like I said it takes twice the time and effort. I have to figure out how's the best way to do something without falling over, which in my retarded whirld takes some serious thought.
Diane was going to try to sleep in this morning, but I was not fast enough to get the livestock fed, so they woke her up, and then there was breakfast for us, laundry, cleaning kitchen, bathrooms, watering flowers and trees and generally allround field day, of which I helpd the best a one legged man could help.
She did stop around three for a nap, and all was going well! I managed to shut off all the "give jack his meds" alarms we have set. As I said, all was going well, until Dixie Belle found the almost empty jar of Peanut butter. She got her nose stuck in it trying to reach the delicious nectar at the bottom, and began banging into the cabinets trying to extracate her nose. Meanwhile her other end, her very active tail was whipping everything it came into contact with such as the recycling I had previously put in plastic bags but not tied at the top.
So, along with her nose and plastic jar of peanut butter banging into everything kitchen and noisy, her tail was whupping the recycle bags, knocking plastic bottles and soda pop cans and the like all over the kitchen cabinets and floor creating a not so pleasant noise that would make it impossible to take a successful nap, and or wake up the dead. All that and me scootering around banging into things to try to stop Dixie Belle and get the jar off her dumb head, It would be my guess I woke up the dead!
Sure enough, she came around the corner, bleary eyed and worn, me apologizing profusely and telling her to go back and work on that nap. Well, you know, once youre up, youre up and there is no going back to sleep. We will try again tomorrow on our naps!
I do try to be as stealthy as possible, but something seems to have happened to my stealthiness. My body and the general area I am in just emits all sorts of noise, no matter how quiet I try to be. I was thought to be clumsy and obnoxious in me youte....that was nothing to what's going on nowdays.
Doesnt seem fair does it! I thought as you got older and more manure, you would age gracefully and things would stop being difficult, and life would be as smooth as silk, a bowl of cherries....yup, smooth as sandpaper and a bowl of cherry pits! As per usual, it can always be worse.
Keep the sun at your six and ride boldly ride....
