Escape!



There it is, the picture I am sure you have all been waiting for! *grin* Took the chair down the street to the next block to look at the geese and chickens they have in their yard.
We took the dog for a walk at the same time and poor Marley, he kept checking to see where I was so he could try and stay ahead of me. So cute. Then he decided to not be cute, while we were stopped he lifted his leg and tried to pee on my chair. WTF? lmao

No picture and no traveling

Okay, so this is not going well...
Took picture of the chair last night so I could post it here. Went to send picture to my email from the cell phone and it told me it couldn't send anything because I had no money in my cell account. Oops!
So today I put money in the cell phone (pay as you go) so I can send the picture. I send the picture, go to my email and the picture is in a format that neith Outlook Express nor Irfanview can understand. Damn :(

Was going to go out yesterday in the chair, weather sucked big time so I passed on it. Today it was cold but sunny and I thought I could at least give the chair a trial run to the corner store and home. Set out with the lovely wife and got about halfway across the yard and came back to the house. Battery did not charge hardly at all the other day so it had next to no juice. Damn :(

Chair is back on the charger now and will stay there until sometime tomorrow morning. I am hoping that will charge it back up. If it doesn't I guess I will know why I got it so cheaply lol

Look Out World!

Talk about a prayer being answered :) I have been trying hard to save up for a power scooter so I can get out of the house once in a while, had some luck with donations and such and was getting there.
Today I opened up the Penny Saver and see an ad for an electric wheelchair for one hundred dollars! Yes, that is right, $100. I went to look at it with my friend and his pick up truck, gave it a fast test drive and brought that baby home :)
It's a small chair, which is perfect for my small frame and so much cheaper than the scooter. I am so happy I could dance if I had the energy lol
I will post a picture of it later. Right now I am trying to calm down and breathe normal again. I was out for quite a bit of time without my oxygen and I missed it terribly. But, it was well worth it!
I am stoked!!!!!

Again??

Another visit to the ER :(
This time it was for stomach cramps, back pain (severe) and chest pains :(
When it rains, it pours

Even the ER nurse remembered me from the last visit. I have been there too often lol

They have no idea why I had stomach cramps so they gave me some Maalox for that, didn't do much. They gave me a couple of antibiotics for the other stuff and some Vicodin for the pain. Vicodin works wonders :)

Ugh

Somebody please remind Mother Nature that it is still Autumn. Woke up this morning and the house is freezing cold, my coffee cup felt like an ice cube and my arthritis is screaming at me.
UGH!!!!!

Black Soap

Okay, I admit, when I first saw this phrase black soap I giggled at the thought. Moms everywhere always have yelled at kids (mine included) for leaving the bar of soap all black and dirty when the kids were done washing up. Now there is a bar of soap that is already black?
This black soap is actually african black soap. Yep, imported from Africa. It is made from 100% pure shea butter and is made for relief from Psoriasis & Eczema. It can be used on both the skin and the hair. Yes, you read that correctly, the hair. I have often used whatever bar of soap is in the shower to wash my hair so this does not shock me. In spite of what advertisers tell you, soap is, well, soap. That's what shampoo is, soap.
Cleopatra's Choice has a lot of soaps on their website, as well as a bit of information about Africa and how they treat different ailments. Quite an interesting read there. There is a lot of Africa that most people have no clue about, I know I know very little about the continent beyond what I have seen on the news and that isn't much.
So go, check out the soaps then read the information. You can get cleansed and educated all in one stop!

I'm Getting There



A big Thank you to those that helped me towards my goal of getting the power scooter!
