Can you feel this?

(I think we need to talk, don't you?)

There are spots on my body- (I guess most of my body), 

where I can't feel most sensations.  

Heat or cold, or tickles even.  The burns took that away from me.  

I've learned to live with it now.  I have to be very careful when 

I run a tub for Lottie- or even myself.  I have to be sure to check it first 

(which I do with my feet since they were not burned).

Yesterday I was outside helping Mr. Nielson in the yard with a long skirt on.

As I walked around outside, I remembered what it felt like to 

have a skirt on right after I just had shaved my legs.  

That's a good feeling.  I am sure that most of you know what I am talking about.

Especially if you are wearing a silky skirt or something super soft, it 

really feels amazing, right?  Well, I miss that feeling.  

I mean, don't get me wrong I am not complaining about not ever having to

shave again, but I do miss simple pleasures of a normal body.
The Little Nies love to ask me to close my eyes while they tickle 

a certain part on my arms or legs or even my face.

They ask me to tell them when I can feel it--which usually is never.

They think it is really cool and laugh really hard.

I don't think it's that cool.

I'll tell you what is really cool...a large portion of my belly skin

was burned, so do I have a belly button or not?.....

I can certainly feel Lottie the unicorn putting lipstick 

on my lips though, and I think that's super cool.
