So some of y'all suggested getting a stair lift. Well, that would be so cool! But, we are renting and our home cannot accommodate one anyways. We make it work for now and when we are ready to buy a house (in the far future, lol) we will look at one story places. :)
Chronically Jaquie my cousin has one because she is in a wheelchair and it makes me so happy to see her going up the stairs without having to crawl.When u can get one it will help u a lot when u can't keep up them because your exhausted
I think it's amazing how even though you're in a lot of pain and tired, you manage to make yourself and Jud an evening meal everyday! You're a huge aspiration to me, and the true definition of human will power
Hi! I love your vlogs! The other day I was watching Grey's Anatomy and a patient came in with sore joints that were easily dislocated. I "diagnosed" her with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome before the doctors did. I had never heard of this condition before watching your vlogs! I just thought I should let you know you're doing a great job informing everyone what life is like with chronic illnesses!
another youtuber with EDS is simon and martina. they live in japan and used to be English teachers in korea before becoming full time youtubers that interview kpop idols. they are really cute.
'Chronic illness doesn't play fair' THIS LITERALLY COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE AMEN AMEN AMEN!! Save your spoons xx today I got up very late was up for all of 2 hours woken up with dehydrated headache (aggravating syncope) got up got orthostatic headache got nauseated making lunch can't eat it can't drink enough. Pain meds taken lights off ice pack on head but still feeling crappy. Tomorrow can be better! I have however got your video on here minimum brightness-- taking the risk of watching it because I know I'm gonna be in pain and sick regardless of watching this video or not so its a risk I'm willing to take. I'm so glad the bananas were good!! Go Jaquie go Harlow go Judd!! ❤️
Mick Lim I also use parchment paper to prevent stuff from sticking (oops, I didn't see all the other comments saying the same thing before I wrote this!). Also I'm a sucker for frozen banana with peanut butter 😍 so glad it's working for Jaquie
I appreciate that you touched on how everyone is effected differently by there chronic illnesses. I myself have a myriad of them including GP and chronic fatigue and share both with my best friend and fellow chronic illness warrior but it effects us completely differently and we catch a lot of flack for being different and having the same illness. So thank you so much for touching on that!
I don't understand these people who loves commenting first, I mean it's not a race or anything. It's a good exercise for Judd to carry you up and down the stairs. I think they are trained to do the strength test if I'm not mistaken.
So i dont usually comment on things on youtube buy i felt like i needed to thank you guys. Tonight was a bad anxiety night after a bad pots day, i was ready to go to bed om the brink of a breakdown. After watching you Jaquie always remaining positive youve helped me see things arent as bad as i make them and theres alwaus a positive, and you judd you never fail to maks me laugh with the adventures you take Jaquie and Harlow on. So thank you, all three of you, for making a bad day into a positive day.
I'm with you on the banana! I can't touch them unless they're frozen because of the texture with my ASD too. It's really helpful to put them on a ziplock bag when they go in the freezer because then you can pop them off easier than a plate! :) I live in the attic of our house so it's two flights of stairs to my room and by the end of the first I end up crawling up the second! Totally feel you on the stairs, I try to stick to one level of the house for as long as possible!
Jaquie, THANK YOU SO MUCH for vlogging your life. You opened up my eyes to what people with disabilities go through and I never thought that being a service dog is a job and people shouldnt distract them. I never did thankfully, but that's because I am a bit shy, but now I know not to disrupt any service dog working with a person with disabilities. God bless you! Pray you get better, stay strong Jaquie and kiss Hippo for me!!!
Im not diagnosed with autism or a sensory disorder, but I very much understand your issues with bananas. Im the same way with bananas peaches mangos and tomatoes 🙈 I can't stand the way they feel or their taste texture and with tomatoes especially I physically can't swallow no matter how hard I try the textures just too much 😖
I don't have a sensory process disorder either but I think I might have oral aversion? Since I was little I have been soo unwilling to try foods. I hate the wetness of apples, the mushiness of bananas, etc 😖
Kat I never tried them.. I haven't tried a lot of foods. When I was little when I tasted foods and I didn't like it, I would immediately GAG. Now people offer me food and even if I want to try I refuse because I don't want to gag on their food because that would be so incredibly rude :c
I have hyperglycemia and watching your vlogs help me feel better and keep my mind off what is going with my sugar dropping for no reason so thank you for that
at Dairy queen they turn it upside down to prove that everything is mixed well, if it falls out they make you another one and possibly give you the blizzard for free (i'm not pos on that last part)
I have not tried it since my GP got bad. I may experiment with it but I am particular about the texture, as soon as it goes a little too soft Im out, lol!
Chronically Jaquie try cutting it up in little squares and freezing it. My best friend has Gi and sensory processing disorder. And she eat it when she can.
Huskylover816 I have gp. For me I'm ok with watermelon. But it does have a lot of fiber. Too much fiber isn't usually good with gp because it can cause a lot of painful bloating
You're such an inspiration to chronically ill people like myself. I can't clean or cook anymore due to my symptoms id end up hurting myself, dropping/knocking things over or passing out. It makes me feel really guilty. Im bedridden most of the time.'
Love the endings where Judd says your outro sentence before you do. 😂 Yay~ you can eat frozen bananas with peanut butter without any issues! Your house looks so clean and it's okay to take breaks whenever you need it Jaquie! Thank you for vlogging 💙 Have a good day/night ahead Jaquie, Judd and Harlow!
I have EDS and PoTS and I'm having a lot of GI issues and I'm so worried I might have or develop GP. I love for, and I REALLY love spicy food, I literally have chilli with everything I eat so praying that's not an issue I'll have xx
jaquie, thank you for sharing your story, I never understood the depth of people dealing with chronically illness. I love learning about all of this although I'm very sorry you have to live this way. you seem to do extremely well mentally! I love you and cannot wait for more videos!
Your laugh is so contagious!! Instantly made my day since I had a scheduled blood test, and I couldn't go because my blood sugars dropped insanely low (39!!!) And I had to break my fast:(
You are so sweet and lovable! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us and being so truthful and open. I have been watching your videos back to back for the last few days and you have really enriched my life. I am thankful that I found your videos to help inspire me and I am thankful that you put in the effort to create them. I wish you well and I hope your beautiful family is having a great day.
Glad the bananas worked out for you as they contain a lot of good vitamins and energy. I know you get all you need from the feeding and nutrition bags, but it must be fun to find something that sustains you that you can chew and eat as well. You're a really inspirational person, even to someone like me who is in relatively good health, seeing you push through and enjoy life as best you can, it's just really positive for me to see this, and it encourages me to be thankful. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your life. I really, really love hippo too, she has such a cute teddy bear mouth. x
If you place the banana slices on wax paper or something similar they won't stick! It's one of my favorite summer snacks. I make banana peanut butter sandwiches. :)
Sarah Elizabeth that's what I thought. She's always going to munchies so this might be something good for her. But at the end of the day it's up to Jaquie
Hey Jaguie, I love your channel! What about having cleaning supplies upstairs and downstairs? We keep cleaning stuff in each of our 3 bathroom and it makes cleaning day so much easier.
Hi Jackie! My health has recently gotten worse because of scoliosis and chronic joint and back pain. My dr suggested using a Cane to walk with to ease the pain and stress on my joints and back. Trouble is I'm only 19 and a feel like people will stair at me and be all "look at the poor sick girl". I know it will be a valuable tool for me, but I'm struggling to not be A. Embarrassed and B. Bothered when people stair or make comments. My question is could you make a video about how you overcame the embarrassment, annoyance etc. When using mobility aids and being so young. Did you ever struggle with this?
I currently have so many video requests I cannot make any promises, I am sorry. But I can tell you that no, I never felt embarrassed. I used to wear a helmet all the time due to my seizures and that did not bother me either. I see them as tools to help me, and I really do not care about what others think. However, I my autism makes me very logical. I also do not notice if people stare. So do not think your feelings are invalidated because of how I feel. You are very validated! I would just focus on doing what is best for you, though. In the end it will work out, best of luck!
Thanks so much Jackie! i wish i never noticed when people stared, all the anxious people out there feel me lol. thank you for the encouragement. i am doing my best to see it as a tool and a vessel to gain mobility back!
I totally understand what you're saying. I have a spinal cord injury, chronic pain, and numbness and weakness, and I am supposed to use a cane or walker to help with mobility, pain, and because I fall a lot. I don't use them because I feel like a failure (I've worked so hard to overcome my mobility issues). I especially refuse to use them in public because I don't want staring and judgment. I'm also young (early 30s), and feel like it makes it hard to make friends and also meet a man to be in a relationship with. No one wants to hang out with or date the "crippled girl". So I just risk it at home and don't bother going out ever. It's incredibly lonely and makes me so sad to be by myself all the time. It also sucks when I fall. Just last week I took a bad fall and actually broke my toe and hurt my shoulder, and a few weeks ago fell and broke my rib. I know a mobility aid would be better for me, but I just can't bring myself to experience the sense of failure, embarrassment, and anxiety that goes with it.
Isn't falling embarrasing too? I understand, that you feel embarrased. Even my 87 year old grandma feels embarrased because of her needing a wheel chair. When you fall you also get hurt, and I think, the best choice is to do, what is best for your body. I am not in your situation, so I may not know exactly, how you feel.
Ever since I was a little kid I would a fall and trip a lot and I I've had a really bad back since I was only 10 but I always had to get back up really quickly and be okay. Welp now I'm not. Really the only place that actually worries me is going to my job with a cane. Because of reputation and I don't want them to think I'm not capable of my job
I love you guys. Thanks for reminding that no matter how tough the day gets there's always good things that happen in each day. Thank you for making me smile and laugh on a tough pain day, with your positivity and love for one and other. Keeping you in my thoughts, love an international spoonie
For frozen bananas sticking to the thing you're freezing it on--parchment paper might help with that so they don't fly everywhere trying to get them off.
I love watching your videos I think it's pretty interesting to learn about chronic illness and how you live with it in your everyday life and I love seeing Harlow grow!
I just started to watch you two days ago and i have watched a TON of your vlogs so far and now my favorite part of my day is waking up to a new video!❤️
I saw Bob's Burgers on your TV while Judd and Hippo were playing :P Glad you are able to find a way around your sensory issue with bananas! I've been subscribed for a couple of months, but haven't commented on a video yet. Glad to finally do so! :)
One thing that you might be able to do is attach the slippers together and then attach the attached slippers to the blankie! One trip for har instead of two and for carrying things up steps maybe a lightweight satchel to attach to har!!
Jaquie, I know you said before that you can't stand the texture of mangos there's a great recipe to make ice cream out of bananas and mango. You do have to cut them, but then you freeze them, the blend them together it turns into like a vegan ice cream. That could possibly be a new snack for you
I recently came across your channel and I am in love! I've been binge watching all your videos all day! I have gp and survive by tpn. I can eat a few bites of food a day. I've become so fearful of foods. Its so scary to me retrying to eat foods again.
Frozen Bananas being a risk. It's always fun seeing into another's world. This really educates me. I used to have a wheat problem and had to try and educate people. I'm lucky it died down and form medicine is gone, but obviously chronic illness can't just go away. Hope you enjoy everyday! ~ A New (ish like of a week) fan Nathan! ;)
I'm so glad you found another food that works. Banana is not a safe food for my ulcerative colitis but I have a nice amount of veggies (not a lot of fruit though) that are fine for me.
I dont blame you Jaq it freaks me out when they tip them over too .. Like can you please just not! ... I have short people problems with the visor in vehicles too and everyone laughs at me because I have to like sit really close to the seering wheel
Hi, Jaquie I've just recently started watching your videos and they make me feel so much better, I've been going through some constant pains these last few weeks and your videos make it easier to deal with it. I wanted to suggest some snacks that I like that are pretty healthy they are Quaker rice crackers, I like the BBQ and caramel flavors myself, they are a pretty good substitute for regular chips
This was such a funny vlog, with you and Judd! :) Loved the editing too, and I just wanted to say that I always love your videos, always look forward to seeing them! With most vloggers I have to wait until the next day to see their videos since they post at night (for me, in my timezone in the Netherlands), but your vlogs are always around 3/4 pm which is just perfect :)
Lol when you forget the day of the week....also you and Judd are sooooo adorable....#goals....I just started watching your vlogs not to long ago and I hope you stay strong through your illnesses.
It looked like y'all were driving down Dale mabry .I lived in Wesley Chapel for 10yrs, now I'm in Clearwater but truly miss that area. Wiregrass in the fall and winter is my second home lol...
I recently broke my ankle and have to go up and down the stairs the same way! Unfortunately my dog isn't helpful and licks my face and steps on me the entire time!
I used to navigate around our slate floor like you do up the stairs. I was a fall hazard because it was really slippery and I was and still am really thin and in danger of seriously hurting myself on the hard surface. My sibling was mean and took advantage of my compulsive sliding with my socks and would open up her room door to intentionally hit me in the face with the door.
Hi Jaquie, I am glad that you find another safe food! Have you considered banana chips? I don´t know if it is easy avalible in the US, but in germany it´s a pretty easy to get thing in the groceriestores. It is basicly bits of dehydrated banana. All the best Michael
50k subscribers is amazing. when i started watching you had 18k. its amazing how many people you are reaching and inspiring. 100k by the end of the year. 😀👍❤️👏
You guys are great. I was laughing really hard when Judd poured that ice cream out! I feel you, I don't like when they turn it upside down either lol. Thanks for making me laugh, I've had a rough day. I thought I was finally going to get a diagnosis and now the doctor isn't too sure. I'm so frustrated!
I love watching yall's daily vlogs!! know you said you have trouble digesting fruits and veggies and are looking for "safe food" options, how about things like Strawberries, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Snap Peas, etc... just a few ideas if you or anyone else wanted to try them. Sending love from NC!
it seems like it would be helpful to train Harlow to carry some sort of basket up and down the stairs for that you could put things like your cleaning supplies in.
At participating Dairy Queen locations if they don't turn your Blizzard upside down you can get on free at your next visit. Personally I'm a bit of a Blizzard snob and if they can't turn it upside down it's not thick enough for me (and I've gotten them where they weren't as good, before the upside down thing was so big.) Also tomorrow is Miracle Treat Day where a portion of every Blizzard sold is donated to Children's Miracle Network.
Hey Jaquie, how do you take care of your teeth after your cyclic vomiting syndrome? I would think that would be difficult specially when you have so many tummy issues.
I definitely do NOT brush, that apparently rubs in the acid and breaks down more enamel. I rinse with baking soda until it has been a few hours vomit free, then I brush.
hey, Jaquie! I have a german shepherd who just turned 9 2 days ago (Yay!!!) and I was wondering if you think a raw diet would be good for her? would there be a lot of benefits? I know you are not an expert and you're only human but if you can link me to an article or something it would be so helpful!
I'm going to ask you a question, Jacquie, that is totally none of my business, & I hope you'll forgive me if I'm out of line with this particular question.........which is.......having noted that the two of you reached for each other's hand just before you were about to begin eating that delicious-looking meal. Your hand-holding at that point made me wonder if you were about to thank God for the food. My husband & I always join hands to thank God for each meal just before we eat. If my observation & assumption is correct, I will "go out on another nosy limb" & ask which denomination of church you attend.
That's awesome that the frozen banana with peanut butter worked for you. :) Yay for safe foods. It sucks, I'm allergic to bananas. I love the things and we couldn't figure out what was making me so sick for a while when I was a pre-teen. Turned out it was bananas. Only recently found out that it's because of latex food syndrome. I have a sensativaty to other fruit with the same compound in it but if I as long as I don't eat them on an empty stomach I'm usual fine. Bananas are the only one so far that make me violently ill. What's really sad too is I once had a doctor tell me that that wasn't an allergic reaction. If you look up latex food syndrome one of the types of reactions other than the typical anaphylaxis was severe nausea and vomiting. Even before I found that article I knew better and found a different doctor. Anyway, like I said, so glad it worked for you! It's always nice to find another safe food. I haven't been diagnosed with gastroparesis but I do have a lot of nausea and know the struggle of having to find those safe foods and keep them on hand. It's always nice to add one more to the list. :)
Jac I agree turning the DQ blizzard upside down FREAKS me out as well. LOL I get teased about it, so it's nice to have a cohort in this! Those banana & pb treats would be great for Harlow on hot days! I have doggy pb made with pumpkin in it, so I'll see if Gatsby likes them. ALSO if you have a cookie tin, line it with wax paper and they will stay fresher and not stick. 😉 PS thanks for the new chicken recipe minus the cheese. I'm with Judd on chicken and cheese! LOVE COWS & some of my favorite relaxing drives are out in country. Taking some big cut up carrots and pulling along side a pasture at sunset to feed the cows a treat. And just being "still". Listening to the quiet and breathing in the sweet smell of nature. PS we use to tell the kids that the smell they smell when driving past a farm is "Ode da cow"! 😂😂😂 The farmer sprays it on the cows every morning before they go out to the pasture. The cows love the smell. LOL yes it's a French parfume, ode da cow. Kids LOVE that story. 😊
So some of y'all suggested getting a stair lift. Well, that would be so cool! But, we are renting and our home cannot accommodate one anyways. We make it work for now and when we are ready to buy a house (in the far future, lol) we will look at one story places. :)
I have not watch the video yet but I hope it works love your channel 😊
P.s 13 like
Chronically Jaquie my cousin has one because she is in a wheelchair and it makes me so happy to see her going up the stairs without having to crawl.When u can get one it will help u a lot when u can't keep up them because your exhausted

Chronically Jaquie pls tell harlow i love her ❤️ plus, i love your videos! Keep it up ❤️
What is the red toy Harlow was playing with at the end?
I think it's amazing how even though you're in a lot of pain and tired, you manage to make yourself and Jud an evening meal everyday! You're a huge aspiration to me, and the true definition of human will power
Awe thank you! I also love to cook (even though I do not always eat) so that helps :)
Hi! I love your vlogs! The other day I was watching Grey's Anatomy and a patient came in with sore joints that were easily dislocated.

Harlow's coat looks so healthy and beautiful
Thank you! I have seen improvements since she started her Raw Diet :)
'Chronic illness doesn't play fair' THIS LITERALLY COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE AMEN AMEN AMEN!! Save your spoons xx today I got up very late was up for all of 2 hours woken up with dehydrated headache (aggravating syncope) got up got orthostatic headache got nauseated making lunch can't eat it can't drink enough.

cling wrap your plate. it can prevent the banana from sticking to the plate
Mick Lim I also use parchment paper to prevent stuff from sticking (oops, I didn't see all the other comments saying the same thing before I wrote this!). Also I'm a sucker for frozen banana with peanut butter 😍 so glad it's working for Jaquie
im so glad the banana's work! Another safe food! Love u Jaquie!

It's a good exercise for Judd to carry you up and down the stairs. I think they are trained to do the strength test if I'm not mistaken.
I agree with commenting first. I've seen that on other videos as well. I'm just glad that we can go on this journey with them.
Judd does carry her up and down, but he can't do it when he is working. :(.
I think commenting first might put them into the top fan spot! When you make videos and you go to your dashboard you see those stats
That may be, but if that's what you have to do for it...
FIRST
So i dont usually comment on things on youtube buy i felt like i needed to thank you guys. Tonight was a bad anxiety night after a bad pots day, i was ready to go to bed om the brink of a breakdown.

natalie ramsey i'm looking for a service dog I have chronic illness my name is michelle
So glad I am not the only one!
I don't have a sensory process disorder either but I think I might have oral aversion? Since I was little I have been soo unwilling to try foods. I hate the wetness of apples, the mushiness of bananas, etc 😖
Ugh me too! Tomatoes are the worst! What about hard boiled eggs? I can't stand the texture of the whites!!
Kat I never tried them.. I haven't tried a lot of foods. When I was little when I tasted foods and I didn't like it, I would immediately GAG. Now people offer me food and even if I want to try I refuse because I don't want to gag on their food because that would be so incredibly rude :c
Try putting the bananas on some wax paper before freezing them, they may come off that a lot easier than the plate. :D
use quality wax paper though, store brand will stick to it.
I have hyperglycemia and watching your vlogs help me feel better and keep my mind off what is going with my sugar dropping for no reason so thank you for that
at Dairy queen they turn it upside down to prove that everything is mixed well, if it falls out they make you another one and possibly give you the blizzard for free (i'm not pos on that last part)
I have a question can you handle watermelon since its mostly water or is that fruit an acception to your gp? Nice vlog,Have a good day!!!
I have not tried it since my GP got bad. I may experiment with it but I am particular about the texture, as soon as it goes a little too soft Im out, lol!
Chronically Jaquie try cutting it up in little squares and freezing it. My best friend has Gi and sensory processing disorder. And she eat it when she can.
Chronically Jaquie same. I'm a watermelon snob.
Frozen watermelon isn't bad - maybe this frozen idea will be a thing for you!
Huskylover816 I have gp. For me I'm ok with watermelon. But it does have a lot of fiber. Too much fiber isn't usually good with gp because it can cause a lot of painful bloating
You're such an inspiration to chronically ill people like myself. I can't clean or cook anymore due to my symptoms id end up hurting myself, dropping/knocking things over or passing out. It makes me feel really guilty. Im bedridden most of the time.'

Glad that you found a good food that you can eat! I'm happy that you made it up and down the stairs . I got a little worried
Omg!! I call baby cows little moos like you😜
Honestly so happy that you found another safe food! That's awesome! Also love how you and Judd tease each other, it makes me smile haha
I love how Judd makes you smile ❤️ It's really nice to watch (:
I have EDS and PoTS and I'm having a lot of GI issues and I'm so worried I might have or develop GP. I love for, and I REALLY love spicy food, I literally have chilli with everything I eat so praying that's not an issue I'll have xx
jaquie, thank you for sharing your story, I never understood the depth of people dealing with chronically illness. I love learning about all of this although I'm very sorry you have to live this way. you seem to do extremely well mentally! I love you and cannot wait for more videos!
Your laugh is so contagious!! Instantly made my day since I had a scheduled blood test, and I couldn't go because my blood sugars dropped insanely low (39!!!) And I had to break my fast:(
I died laughing when you flicked that banana off the plate and the pb stayed! 😅😅
My husband and I had the exact blizzard conversation yesterday! I'm with Jaquie, it's stressful when they tip it upside down!
You are so sweet and lovable! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us and being so truthful and open. I have been watching your videos back to back for the last few days and you have really enriched my life. I am thankful that I found your videos to help inspire me and I am thankful that you put in the effort to create them. I wish you well and I hope your beautiful family is having a great day.
Banana and peanut butter are worth it for the calories and the nutritional value!
And erm, I'd suggest wax paper in the future with your nananers 🙈 doesn't dirty a plate and doesn't stick
Im gonna call cows Moo's and mini Moo's now😂😂
We call my dog moo or moo moo
I love it! Mini moo. I'm so gonna use that now
Welcome to Wonder Land my school had a farm and i would call the steers "the moos moos"
Glad the bananas worked out for you as they contain a lot of good vitamins and energy.

Since frozen banana is a safe food for you. Maybe you can put them in the blender to make a safe food version of ice cream.
cierra limburg no cus her disorder triggers mushy foods to make her puke
Ayesha Baber oh. Oops. I didn't know
cierra limburg wouldn't it be okay if it was smooth like ice cream?
Sarah Elizabeth that's what I thought. She's always going to munchies so this might be something good for her. But at the end of the day it's up to Jaquie

My question is could you make a video about how you overcame the embarrassment, annoyance etc. When using mobility aids and being so young. Did you ever struggle with this?
I currently have so many video requests I cannot make any promises, I am sorry. But I can tell you that no, I never felt embarrassed. I used to wear a helmet all the time due to my seizures and that did not bother me either. I see them as tools to help me, and I really do not care about what others think. However, I my autism makes me very logical. I also do not notice if people stare. So do not think your feelings are invalidated because of how I feel. You are very validated! I would just focus on doing what is best for you, though. In the end it will work out, best of luck!
Thanks so much Jackie! i wish i never noticed when people stared, all the anxious people out there feel me lol. thank you for the encouragement. i am doing my best to see it as a tool and a vessel to gain mobility back!
I totally understand what you're saying. I have a spinal cord injury, chronic pain, and numbness and weakness, and I am supposed to use a cane or walker to help with mobility, pain, and because I fall a lot. I don't use them because I feel like a failure (I've worked so hard to overcome my mobility issues). I especially refuse to use them in public because I don't want staring and judgment. I'm also young (early 30s), and feel like it makes it hard to make friends and also meet a man to be in a relationship with. No one wants to hang out with or date the "crippled girl". So I just risk it at home and don't bother going out ever. It's incredibly lonely and makes me so sad to be by myself all the time. It also sucks when I fall. Just last week I took a bad fall and actually broke my toe and hurt my shoulder, and a few weeks ago fell and broke my rib. I know a mobility aid would be better for me, but I just can't bring myself to experience the sense of failure, embarrassment, and anxiety that goes with it.
Isn't falling embarrasing too? I understand, that you feel embarrased. Even my 87 year old grandma feels embarrased because of her needing a wheel chair.
When you fall you also get hurt, and I think, the best choice is to do, what is best for your body.
I am not in your situation, so I may not know exactly, how you feel.
Ever since I was a little kid I would a fall and trip a lot and I I've had a really bad back since I was only 10 but I always had to get back up really quickly and be okay. Welp now I'm not. Really the only place that actually worries me is going to my job with a cane. Because of reputation and I don't want them to think I'm not capable of my job
I watch your videos all the time. They make me so happy. Thank you for being you and videotaping your journey!
I love you guys. Thanks for reminding that no matter how tough the day gets there's always good things that happen in each day. Thank you for making me smile and laugh on a tough pain day, with your positivity and love for one and other. Keeping you in my thoughts, love an international spoonie
For frozen bananas sticking to the thing you're freezing it on--parchment paper might help with that so they don't fly everywhere trying to get them off.
You're always so well spoken and provide such great points and provide good tips!
I love watching your videos I think it's pretty interesting to learn about chronic illness and how you live with it in your everyday life and I love seeing Harlow grow!
Harlow was ready and willing to spring into helpful action and clean up the spilled melting treat.
I'm so glad that you were able to handle the frozen banana :) I just want to say thank you to you, Judd and Hippo for always making my days brighter
I hate when they turn the blizzard upside down also! It's like my heart stops for just a second every time.
I just started to watch you two days ago and i have watched a TON of your vlogs so far and now my favorite part of my day is waking up to a new video!❤️
I love your channel. I was just diagnosed with GP and your videos have helped me stay positive and have also provided such wonderful advice! ❤️☺️
I saw Bob's Burgers on your TV while Judd and Hippo were playing :P Glad you are able to find a way around your sensory issue with bananas!
I've been subscribed for a couple of months, but haven't commented on a video yet. Glad to finally do so! :)
You've mentioned watching The Frey Life. You have a similar outlook to their phrase “Do something you think you can't do."
One thing that you might be able to do is attach the slippers together and then attach the attached slippers to the blankie! One trip for har instead of two and for carrying things up steps maybe a lightweight satchel to attach to har!!
Your videos always make me smile.
2:06 It landed right side up.
11:42 I would have loved to see more of this scene. The ending was a nice way to make up for it though.
You've seemed so upbeat lately, glad to see big smiles! :)
Judd and Harlow's antic have got me laughing out loud too - your videos always brighten my day!
Jaquie, I know you said before that you can't stand the texture of mangos there's a great recipe to make ice cream out of bananas and mango. You do have to cut them, but then you freeze them, the blend them together it turns into like a vegan ice cream. That could possibly be a new snack for you
I love your positivity and energy, you make everyday I get to watch your vlogs a brighter better day.
I recently came across your channel and I am in love! I've been binge watching all your videos all day! I have gp and survive by tpn. I can eat a few bites of food a day. I've become so fearful of foods. Its so scary to me retrying to eat foods again.
Frozen Bananas being a risk. It's always fun seeing into another's world. This really educates me. I used to have a wheat problem and had to try and educate people. I'm lucky it died down and form medicine is gone, but obviously chronic illness can't just go away. Hope you enjoy everyday! ~ A New (ish like of a week) fan Nathan! ;)
Freeze the bananas on wax paper next time. Lol
I'm so happy for you Jackie! I am happy you are now able to have another safe food. 💕
Also, I love your relationship with Judd. The car part was so funny to watch!
I suggest if the bananas stick, run the bottom of the plate under warm water and that loosen it
Loralyn Sanders that's a really good idea if wax paper gives Jaquie's SPD issues!
That's great! It's amazing to see that you're able to eat something else and not have extra pain!
I'm so glad you found another food that works. Banana is not a safe food for my ulcerative colitis but I have a nice amount of veggies (not a lot of fruit though) that are fine for me.
I dont blame you Jaq it freaks me out when they tip them over too .. Like can you please just not! ... I have short people problems with the visor in vehicles too and everyone laughs at me because I have to like sit really close to the seering wheel
Hi, Jaquie I've just recently started watching your videos and they make me feel so much better, I've been going through some constant pains these last few weeks and your videos make it easier to deal with it. I wanted to suggest some snacks that I like that are pretty healthy they are Quaker rice crackers, I like the BBQ and caramel flavors myself, they are a pretty good substitute for regular chips
I liked the "cleaning montage" it shows how you tolerate dusting with a walker, I appreciate even as brief as it is, cleaning vids lol
This was such a funny vlog, with you and Judd! :) Loved the editing too, and I just wanted to say that I always love your videos, always look forward to seeing them! With most vloggers I have to wait until the next day to see their videos since they post at night (for me, in my timezone in the Netherlands), but your vlogs are always around 3/4 pm which is just perfect :)
Hi Jaquie! I really love your vlogs and I hope you are capable of feeling better!❤️❤️❤️
So glad about the bananas, I'm the same with the whole texture thing so I will for sure try this out later.
Lol when you forget the day of the week....also you and Judd are sooooo adorable....#goals....I just started watching your vlogs not to long ago and I hope you stay strong through your illnesses.
It looked like y'all were driving down Dale mabry .I lived in Wesley Chapel for 10yrs, now I'm in Clearwater but truly miss that area. Wiregrass in the fall and winter is my second home lol...
So great that the banannas (i dont know how to spell them) worked out for you and that you and your fam had a great day yay!!
I recently broke my ankle and have to go up and down the stairs the same way! Unfortunately my dog isn't helpful and licks my face and steps on me the entire time!
I used to navigate around our slate floor like you do up the stairs. I was a fall hazard because it was really slippery and I was and still am really thin and in danger of seriously hurting myself on the hard surface. My sibling was mean and took advantage of my compulsive sliding with my socks and would open up her room door to intentionally hit me in the face with the door.
I love this video you seem so genuinely happy and giggly
That dog loves you is very aware of your condition. Beautiful dog
Hi Jaquie,
I am glad that you find another safe food!
Have you considered banana chips? I don´t know if it is easy avalible in the US, but in germany it´s a pretty easy to get thing in the groceriestores. It is basicly bits of dehydrated banana.
All the best Michael
Good morning Jaquie :-) Thank you for the great video. I hope that you will have a great day!
50k subscribers is amazing. when i started watching you had 18k. its amazing how many people you are reaching and inspiring. 100k by the end of the year. 😀👍❤️👏
You guys are great. I was laughing really hard when Judd poured that ice cream out! I feel you, I don't like when they turn it upside down either lol. Thanks for making me laugh, I've had a rough day. I thought I was finally going to get a diagnosis and now the doctor isn't too sure. I'm so frustrated!
If you guys have a cookie cooling rack, those are great for freezing small things since there isn't much surface area to stick to :)
I love watching yall's daily vlogs!! know you said you have trouble digesting fruits and veggies and are looking for "safe food" options, how about things like Strawberries, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Snap Peas, etc... just a few ideas if you or anyone else wanted to try them. Sending love from NC!
Same here i hate when they turn my blizzard upside down it freaks me out and my husband doesn't understand why either lol
it seems like it would be helpful to train Harlow to carry some sort of basket up and down the stairs for that you could put things like your cleaning supplies in.
At participating Dairy Queen locations if they don't turn your Blizzard upside down you can get on free at your next visit. Personally I'm a bit of a Blizzard snob and if they can't turn it upside down it's not thick enough for me (and I've gotten them where they weren't as good, before the upside down thing was so big.) Also tomorrow is Miracle Treat Day where a portion of every Blizzard sold is donated to Children's Miracle Network.
I love your laugh!!! It's so sweet and happy. I can't help but smile when you laugh or smile or have a lot of fun!!!
CONGRATS ON 50K SUBSCRIBERS!!!
Hey Jaquie, how do you take care of your teeth after your cyclic vomiting syndrome? I would think that would be difficult specially when you have so many tummy issues.
I definitely do NOT brush, that apparently rubs in the acid and breaks down more enamel. I rinse with baking soda until it has been a few hours vomit free, then I brush.
Would definitely suggest using wax paper for the bananas !! Made my smile knowing that you have another safe food, love you !❤️
We go our local farm to go eat ice cream and look at the cows. It's fun! Sending prayers. I hope you enjoy your day.
Hey, my birthday is the 27th and I had a question. When is Harlows birthday?
Mary Ganey June 28 I believe
It's June 28 :)
Mary Ganey My bff birthday is June 28th mine is the 10th and my other bff is 11th :D
KiwiYoshi MINES THE 10th TOO!
hey, Jaquie! I have a german shepherd who just turned 9 2 days ago (Yay!!!) and I was wondering if you think a raw diet would be good for her? would there be a lot of benefits? I know you are not an expert and you're only human but if you can link me to an article or something it would be so helpful!
I love your videos! You are the only youtuber who's vlogs i find entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Also, congrats on the bananas!
I'm going to ask you a question, Jacquie, that is totally none of my business, & I hope you'll forgive me if I'm out of line with this particular question.........which is.......having noted that the two of you reached for each other's hand just before you were about to begin eating that delicious-looking meal. Your hand-holding at that point made me wonder if you were about to thank God for the food. My husband & I always join hands to thank God for each meal just before we eat. If my observation & assumption is correct, I will "go out on another nosy limb" & ask which denomination of church you attend.
Esther Miller Yes we pray for every meal 😊
That's awesome that the frozen banana with peanut butter worked for you. :) Yay for safe foods. It sucks, I'm allergic to bananas. I love the things and we couldn't figure out what was making me so sick for a while when I was a pre-teen. Turned out it was bananas. Only recently found out that it's because of latex food syndrome. I have a sensativaty to other fruit with the same compound in it but if I as long as I don't eat them on an empty stomach I'm usual fine. Bananas are the only one so far that make me violently ill. What's really sad too is I once had a doctor tell me that that wasn't an allergic reaction. If you look up latex food syndrome one of the types of reactions other than the typical anaphylaxis was severe nausea and vomiting. Even before I found that article I knew better and found a different doctor. Anyway, like I said, so glad it worked for you! It's always nice to find another safe food. I haven't been diagnosed with gastroparesis but I do have a lot of nausea and know the struggle of having to find those safe foods and keep them on hand. It's always nice to add one more to the list. :)
Hahaha. Judd loves ending the vlog!!! I love when you guys compete like that. Makes me laugh and smile. Thanks!!
Yay the bananas and peanut butter work! I love making smoothies with those ingredients!
Jac I agree turning the DQ blizzard upside down FREAKS me out as well. LOL I get teased about it, so it's nice to have a cohort in this!
Those banana & pb treats would be great for Harlow on hot days! I have doggy pb made with pumpkin in it, so I'll see if Gatsby likes them.
ALSO if you have a cookie tin, line it with wax paper and they will stay fresher and not stick. 😉
PS thanks for the new chicken recipe minus the cheese. I'm with Judd on chicken and cheese!
LOVE COWS & some of my favorite relaxing drives are out in country. Taking some big cut up carrots and pulling along side a pasture at sunset to feed the cows a treat. And just being "still". Listening to the quiet and breathing in the sweet smell of nature.
PS we use to tell the kids that the smell they smell when driving past a farm is "Ode da cow"! 😂😂😂 The farmer sprays it on the cows every morning before they go out to the pasture. The cows love the smell. LOL yes it's a French parfume, ode da cow. Kids LOVE that story. 😊
Harlow is such a good pup.
