Thanks tt

TT on my shopping list is Toilet Tissue! btw! :shock:

I doubt I could write a book now (or maybe never thought I could.)  There is far too much crap and I don't think I could splice it all together in whatever format.

My attitude has changed somewhat now: more anger, more apathy, more anti-social, more cynical, more agnostic... too much time has passed, while I am trying to hold myself together.

I appreciate Karla, and her twice a week visits, 1½ hours each. I don't go to her place, as there are too many steps and I cannot leave my computer!  :lol: I am dressed for therapy and shopping or an outing with K, but as soon as I am alone, I am back into my nightgown. My bra causes pressure on the "back problem caused by the trapeze and am still awaiting the Medical report from the Specialist. When the pain strikes, I go into tremors.

You might have missed my announcement of, after 54 years of smoking, I quit on November 17, 2010.....almost 1¾ years!  The 17th is what Karla and I celebrate. We are never out long, as I cannot use a public washroom now, as I am so off-balance--- different leg lengths!

...and I still don' t cry.

Case in point about my humour though.... I throw my leg, at the knee, over a 6" hard roll and use the quadriceps at the knee to raise my foot off the bed. I mentioned weights, to Karla from when I had the same excercises 43 years ago.... so she brought 2 x 2½ # weights to hang on my ankle. There are others than that, as well, in the "quads over roll" position, and I talk so much that I lose track.

I looked at her one day, questioningly, and she said , "Just Weight!i"

So I waited.

She said, " Go ahead!"

I said, "..but you told me 'just wait'!"

"No, , she said. "I said 'Just Weight'.

We stared at one another then roared for about 5 minutes!

Ah well, ya hadda be here!

Love
Iz
