So much joy to hear of the love and light these 3 sent you! Amazing the people we meet and become friends with as we walk this planet - the source of the friendship doesn’t matter in the end but it’s so cool to see the GF bring people together.
I think I should have instead posted the phrase “learning to stand up again.”
A few months back, I hired a trainer and he guaranteed he would get me out of the wheelchair and walking within a year. To complete the entire process I will still need two surgeries. Cardio is 7 days a week, weightlifting and stretching are 5 days a week.
Last week three amazing things happened.
For the first time since receiving my GF in September 2019, I was able to stand up, plug-in my GF, open the window, set up my exhaust system and finally turn on the machine—- all by myself!!
I was able to stand up from the wheel chair, get both of my legs on the running board, and step into my SUV without any assistance
Last Saturday. I stood up for my wheelchair and danced for 30 seconds to I’m So Excited by The Pointer Sisters.
As I was trying to dance I was moving around like Herman Munster but I was still up and dancing without falling over.
My three amigos know my end of the year plans. In December, if I am out of the wheelchair and walking —- I have 2 goals.
I am going to run out of my house and down my neighborhood street in a “natural” state.
I am going to move to Las Vegas for 3 months and become a dancer. This the only way I can quickly recoup the money my trainer is charging me. @CMadok is going to join me but she is going be a cocktail waitress. I even have my stage name — Tennessee Sweetness.
It would be great if @aanden could babysit Jimmy Wayne Westie while I am working.
When I told Eric my plans he said “I can not believe you are going to leave Jimmy Wayne Westie here. He is your best friend and you are going to break his heart!”
I quickly said “Jimmy Wayne Westie is coming with me —- I am leaving you and Black Betty here”
The look on Eric‘s face was very similar to this precious little kitty’s expression.
Congratulations— you are now Jimmy Wayne Westie”s sitter!!! He is a well behaved pup and very very loving.
Only one little issue or maybe two issues. He is a solid 31 pounds and he wants to sleep on top of your head. He does give you a warning. He takes his paw and lightly touches your face and then he just plops down right across your face.

My baby brother is an East Tennessee good olé boy and he has a thick hillbilly drawl. After I told him I was able to stand up and dance he said “Hey, you need to do one of those Tic “TAC” videos.

If you ever come to Knoxville I want you to let me know. We have a used bookstore that sells vintage board games.

Every time I see a post from you I smile because I automatically think about my Mother. Your username reminds me of New Orleans. In the early 1970s, a lady from New Orleans showed my Mom how to make beignets. I never learned to make them and unfortunately the beignets ended when she passed away in 2001.

As a woman the very first thing I notice about another woman is her eyebrows and eyes. I remember the first time I saw your profile picture —-instantly I thought “Wow she has the most beautiful eyebrows and eyes!! I also love your profile picture. You are a very beautiful woman that has that fresh faced Noxzema complexion!!
