THOUGHT SINCE I WAS HERE I MIGHT AS WELL DO AN UPDATE. I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR PROJECT MOBILITY AND I AM EVEN FREERER THAN BEFORE. NOW I CAN GO TO THE MOVIES WHEN I WANT AND THATS A TREAT. I ALSO AM DOING VERY WELL VOLUNTEERING AT THE HOSPICE HERE IN DAYTON. ITS ONLY 2 BLOCKS AWAY SO I CAN RIDE MY SCOOTER. I REALLY DON'T LIKE MY SCOOTER IN CROWDS. I AM BUTT LEVEL WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND ITS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT. I HAVE HAD SOME FUN WIRH MY WHEELCHAIR ALSO. WE WENT CAMPING WITH MY SON AND HIS DOG, A BLOODHOUND. I WENT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL TO WATCH THE DOG PLAY IN THE WATER. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE I COULDN'T GET UP THE HILL. MY SON HOOKED MY SCOOTER TO THE DOGS LEASH AND WE WENT 100 MILES UP THAT HILL , ACROSS THE STREET AND TO FRONT DOOR OF THE CAMPER. tHAT WAS SO MUCH FUN IWANTED TO DO IT AGAIN. tHAT PARTY POOPER SON SAID NO IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS BY THIS TIME I HAD A CROWD WATCHING ME BUT NO ONE TOLD ON ME WHEN MY SON GOT BACK.NGEROUS. sO i WAITED FOR HIM TO LEAVE. I HOOKED MYSELF TO THE DOG AND WENT FOR ANOTHER JOY RIDE. I SURPRISE MYSELF AT HOW MUCH I CAN DO. YOU ALSO HAVE TO WATCH YOU SAY TO KIDS. iI WAS SETTING ON THE DECK OF THE CAMPER AND SOME KIDS CAME BY AND ASKED WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LEG. i TOLD THEM A SHARK CAME BY IN THE LAKE AND BIT IT OFF. pARENTS GET MAD WHEN THE KIDS WON'T GO INTO THE LAKE ANYMORE. LOL SO LIFE IS GOING ALONG PRETTY WELL RIGHT NOW.
SO OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE LEARNED A LOT. I HAD SOME BLINDS PUT IN AND THE GUY THAT PUT THEM IN CALLED ME AND ASKED ME OUT. I AM SUCH A ROMANTIC. HE FIRST THING I SAID TO HIM WAS DO YOU KNOW I ONLY HAVE ONE LEG? OF COURSE HE DID WE WENT OUT FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND HAD A REALLY NICE TIME. HE CALLED ME 2 WEEKS AGO AND SAID HE DECIDED THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE BURDONED WITH A ONE LEGGED WOMAN. IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH FOR HIM. OF COURSE IT HURT MY FEELINGS AT FIRST. BUT THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE BETTER I FEEL. HE IS NOT THE MAN I THOUGHT HE WAS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH ME. I DO EVERYTHING BY MYSELF. I WON'T LET ANYONE HELP ME. I CAN DO EVERYTHING I DID BEFORE I LOST MY LEG RXCEPT PLAY THE PANIO. I DIDN'T DO THAT BEFORE SO I DON'T MIND SO MUCH. LOL WHAT I DID LEARN FROM THAT IS THAT PEOPLE DON'T ALWAYS LOOK AT MY LEG AS A TERRIBLE THING AND FEEL SORRY FOR ME. MOST DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT SINCE I WEAR A LOT OF LONG SKIRTS. ALSO I LEARNED THAT THERE ARE MEN ATTRACTED TO ME EVEN WITHOUT A LEG. i THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER HAVE A MAN IN MY LIFE AGAIN. NOW IT ISN'T THAT I CAN'T BUT I DON'T WANT ANY . SO MY HAPPY LIFE CONTINUES AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE I CAN ASK.

THINGS HAVE REALLY CHANGED FOR ME OVER THIS LAST YEAR. I'VE BEEN GONE FOR A WHILE DUE TO DEPRESSION I SUPPOSE. LAST YEAR ON jULY 5TH ILOST MY HUSBAND OF 22 YEARS TO CANCER. THAT HAS REALLY CHANGED MY LIFE. I NOW LIVE ALONE IN AN APARTMENT. I AM A LOT STRONGER THAN I THOUGHT. I GO BY MYSELF WHEREEVER I WANT WHEN I WANT. I AM ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NIRMAL THING BUT MY HUSBAND ALWAYS DID THINGS FOR ME. I DID RETIRE FROM MY JOB AS A SOCIAL WORKER AT OUR LOCAL HOSPICE. I NOW VOLUNTEER THERE. I SIT WITH PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO ONE WHEN THEIR TIME COMES. SOUNDS DOERESSING? NOT FOR ME. I AM LEARNING SO MUCH DOING THIS. I REALIZE HOW BLESSED I AM. I HAVE MADE NEW FRIENDS IN THE APARTMENT BUILDING AND AM CONSTANTLY BUSY WITH LEARNING NEW THINGS. I AM LEARNING HOW TO FISH RIGHT NOW. WORMS ARE ICKY BUT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM. IN FACT I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM. OK ENOUGH FOR NOW. i REALLY AM GLAD TO BE BACK. I HAVE MISSED MY FRIENDS HERE.

good for you ...u are probably better off by yourself .God will send you someone that is meant to be with you...by the way my name is liliy and im a newbee
liliy
Well done shirly
If a man cant take your loss its his problem not yours.
I think its about time you did learn the piano why do you need 2 legs (smile)
As one of your friends I don't think people feel sorry for you as I my self never wood you do so well even with just the one leg.
Don't give up on men not are all like this one and if you want to wear a short skirt you just do so.
BOB.
