Old Friendship's Die and New Ones Give Us Strength to go On

[Csativa]

Well, I saw my GP yesterday for an update and to get some "happy pills" for the pain.  In addition, I told him that for about one week, I have been been spending quite a bit of time with my very close friends, the Floors and the Walls.   Complicating matters, Mr. Floor followed me to the doctors where I was so overcome with joy at her apparent devotion, that I hugged her three times.    

Needless to say, my GP demonstrated a lack of understanding about close relationships.  I mean, I'm 58 years old, and here is this young doctor telling me that I have to break off my friendships.  He said that the only way I can do this is to cheat on everyone by going out with Ms. Wheelchair.  I have to admit, I was skeptical at first.  However, yesterday I broke down and was looking at some lurid online pictures of the 2010 beauties.  And there she was, hot red, sleek but muscular.  Not a shred of gray on her.  And I'll bet she has great stamina too!  She'd probably roll all over and on me. Oh baby!!!!!  OK., OK, OK, I'll stop now.  I think my wife is getting suspicious, she's shooting daggers at me.  

I really have no choice.  I banged and twisted my left leg so bad that it's about ready to fall off.  I guess I have avoided it for too long. But the challenges go on, and besides, there are certainly worse things than having to use a wheelchair.

hahaaha.. you made my morning, you have such a good attitude about this, I certainly wasn't in that frame of mind when I needed to find my MR P.C. but it took a short time before he became apart of my life.

take care and let us know how things go

Love your sense of humor. After all laughter is medicine in its self. Glad you can be so upbeat and I am sure glad that you are getting away from those mean friends, floor and wall. They can be such a bumber, I bet Ms wheel chair will be good to you.

Take care of that leg and I am happy to see that you still have your sense of humor about you. So many of us let the bad things bring us down.

I look forward to your next post.

Take care of that leg!!!

Well,well, well now,
Seems as your 'counsilor' could be just right about your dangerous relationships with your old friendss and the need to cut the ties:)

i have my 'purple haze' and from day one knew her to be quiet a 'lady'
She workks tirelessly with the strenght of at least two men to carry me wherever i askk, whether over hill  or dale .  Cleopatras man servants have nothing on my wheels!

She is always at my beckon call and never complains! (ok well once when she seemmed to havee broken a toe(spoke:)  and i be complaining to carring someoone with one! LOL

We have has such grand dates through the years I would have never accepted if I were 'singe'! Concerts, travels across country and mexico, footballs games, and even a world series! We've strolled bike paths, malls and have danced under the blue moon at my daughters wedding  (which i was able to wear some fancy hot high heels, my husband said, not like your walking in them anyways! LOL).... all things I can do now because of her.
Shoes go out of style now before i would ever wear them out!!! LOL

My purple haze is a manual... at times i do wish i had a motor chair,  but i am not able to go out alone, so guess it doesn't matter just for the little bit of indepenence one would give me.
It sounds as you are realizing and accepting of this new stage for you, but don't deny yourself any sad ,  or angry feelings you may encounter along the way if you get frusturated.

Good luck picking your hottie...she needs to be the right one for you:)
be well, amo

Just look after that right leg and keep your rock, rolling and twisting under control.

If your wife is worried about all your mistresses in the house, she needs to watch out for all your admirers and friends on line. Your sense of humour rocks and we all love it and in spite of your growing frustration you still manage to raise a smile..you are an inspiration and your new wheelchair is lucky with its master

Love Sarah xxxx.

Frank,
You just made my morning. I love a good sense of humor...I think humor is a necessity in life when dealing with things that are difficult.

I agree, enjoy the new red head, although I hear brunettes are more fun! (speaking from a "brown" prospective)

Hugs,
Michelle

THE GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR YOU ALL HAVE IS BRINGING THIS NEWBIE UP OUT OF THE PITS OF DEPRESSION H*** SLOWLY BUT SURELY.

IT IS A BLESSING THAT YOU CAN STILL HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR AFTER WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A ROUGH JOURNEY

Floor is a flirt and promiscuous AND bisexual.  She already made love to me, leaving me when I deserted her for my real love, Mr. Recliner.  Honestly, we have no more Floor in my house.  It's hell to sweep.  You are better without such a fickle mistress.

Since you are embarking on the perilous venture of balancing a new mistress IN THE SAME HOUSE as your wife, I think you should be able to handle my new and improved right leg.  I am done with it, but the ankle is still unstable.  The fracture is healing well, I think.  I didn't get a date with Ms. Wheelchair.  I didn't even get an email from her youngest son Cast.  I have had to walk directly on my poor, mangled leg.

Really, what happened with your leg?
