You’re exactly right!! I had 3 surgeries on my feet in 2022. I learned then that I had to get my home in order. It’s bad to be in bed, and all you can do is look around at the clutter and the crap I’ve collected piled up. Here it is 2025, and I still haven’t finished. It’s a shame how much “stuff” we American buy, that just accumulates and just makes like overwhelming. I can’t even do the crafts that I have started because of my guilt. 2025…will be my year, of getting organized and clutter free.
Same here, I was my father’s joy and he was my protector. I was 18 and felt like “how will I ever get through life without him”? He was such a gentle man and studied Gods word all the time and I couldn’t see how God could take such a devout Christian that should be on earth. I totally get it!
Just happened by for the first time and wanted to encourage you and give you some unsolicited advice. The last thing you need to worry about right now is de-cluttering your home. I know there are a lot of women who are driven crazy by clutter, but honestly, it's just your stuff. You're not having your home photographed for a magazine or anything. If necessary, ASK FOR HELP. Ask your friends, ask your church. ASK. People are generous and probably don't know what to do for you, and would love a chance to come and help you out a bit. I was a caregiver for my husband with brain cancer for five years and widowed at 32 with two toddlers. You would be astonished at how many people have gone through a similar experience to yours, and you are not alone! Focus on what's most important and on getting better, and let the house go. It's really ok.
I hope you have family to help you. I will say a prayer for you, as a matter of fact, anyone watching or posting let’s grab hands and circle around this young lady and form a prayer circle for her. 🙏
When I was growing up...when someone would comment..." her house is so clean, you can eat off of her floors," my little Jewish mother would remind them that only dogs eat off of the floor.... we only care about you... we can declutter later....sending love, prayers, and strength.❤
Bless you for sharing how things can truly go in the opposite direction when we least expect it! For me, this need for the space to accommodate a wheel chair wouldn't be possible as I am not organized. As a senior, it is time for me to take to heart your message! Prayers for your journey and continue sharing.
Been there done that, all I can say is baby steps, do what you can and leave sticky notes where you left off. It's been 4 years disabled from covid life support and I am just grateful to see another day.
I can sorta relate, I shattered my kneecap and went to the hospital had surgery and was admitted to a rehab facility for 2 weeks, I live alone and am over 65 with no immediate family and the night it happened my bedroom was a mess lol. when I came home after 2 weeks to had have someone throw my clothes on the floor, I had to use a walker for several months, then I had my co-workers come over and my place was a total mess. So, I completely understand. The second surgery a year later, my condo flooded, and etc. Glad you are home with family. What I learned was no one really cared about how messy my place was it was just me, even the CEO who came over has never mentioned. Wishing you a speedy recovery...
I’m so very sorry you’ve been dealing with all of this. This is a good reminder that you never know what can happen with a surgery. I’ve had five major surgeries and I’m so aware how blessed I’ve been. I’m also one who has trouble keeping up with my home. Luckily my daughter in law is living with us and she has helped me soooooo much. I do need to declutter a lot and of course that is something where I need to make decisions. I have an autoimmune disease and very rarely feel well or have energy to do anything. What you’re going through is what I fear as I’m aware that you never know when you won’t be able to do much. Wishing that you will be better soon.❤️🙏
Awesome video! Love seeing you in such great spirits. You’re so right that life can flip in an instant with a diagnosis or surgery, and being able to adapt quickly is huge. And that’s so true when it comes to keeping up with our homes and everything else. Stay strong, you’re seriously inspiring!
In 2015, i had an episode of svt with a heart rate of 240 while sitting in a chair. 911 was called, and emts arrived along with firemen. When my heart did not respond to the 2 doses of adinosene, i was sure my heart would soon just stop, and i was a goner. I had been meaning to clean the family room for about 2 weeks. All i could think, in what i thought were my last moments? I am going to die in this dirty room, i really wished i had cleaned it. At the time my parents were alive, i have grown children. But all i could think was how undignified it was to die in a messy room.
You are right about trying to keep your home on a minamilist way. I currently struggle with organizing my home, not that it's dirty just messy with too many things. Your words are truly helpful to me and I will continue to pray 🙏 that your health journey will be a smooth one. Your community will be cheering you on. ❤
Oh my goodness Jamie! You are certainly right, we are all one event away from life completely changing! My husband had a medical event last January that was very scary and it really opened my eyes to how fragile life is. Thankfully, he is well now. I’m praying for God to touch you and bring healing and peace. As far as your house, lean on your husband and just do the best you can. Focus on your health and well being. That’s the most important thing! Love you sweet friend!!!❤
Good morning 🙏❤️. This is my first video I found on UA-cam and I’m so sorry that you had to go through such an ordeal but the surgery went good for you. However, I honestly don’t wish paralysis on anyone since I’ve been born with Spina Bifida, paralyzed from the waste down, also a dialysis patient for almost 17 yrs too. I’ve only know a wheelchair and not walking so it has been easy for me to be able to think of ways to do things from a wheelchair like, doing the dishes from my chair with the cupboards on the bottom below the kitchen sink open so my footrests can swing open and I can be right up to the sink. To pick things up off the floor, there are what are called reachers and they come in many sizes and shapes too. I have two. One is in the living room for there and the kitchen, and I also have one for my bedroom next to my bed and I’d I need them too in the bathroom I just take them with me or if I’m able to lean Dow not pick whatever it is off the floor I do that too. I’m used to this lightweight chair and I know just how to exactly lean over so I don’t fall out of my chair too. So, if I can get a pair of reachers that will help you in a big way and even to get clothes off of hangers too but do t have the hangers that have those loopy hook looking ends cause then your clothes will get caught and you’ll have an issue. God bless you and keep that positive attitude cause that is what will help you through those tough moments. Yes, you’ll have those days cause I do even though I was born this way but, being positive is your best friend and a strong faith too. God bless and you surly can do this. You definitely look very smart to figure out things. Have a blessed day too and I also pray that 2025 will be an awesome year for you too. Sue M. Clearwater, Florida ❤️🙏🥰👍🏻🌴😎❌⭕️
Scream it louder !!! We just had a ramp built and w/c use .my husband had a blood infection and hip replacement. Put in rails and high toilets.i will get a dumpster when it warms up.he lived in lift chair for a long time. Just now going back to work. At 62..i am planning a trip to celebrate living
I am definitely in your camp! I am trying desperately to thin possessions out. I don’t need all this stuff, and clutter definitely gets the best of me at times. I know I would be happier with a tidier home.
I’m a late bloomer and slow thinker too - guess I’m with you in that one. So sorry to hear of what you’re going through. I hope your leg rejoins the party soon, and my thoughts are with you.
My husband of 34 years divorced me last years as he didn’t ’look good’ with a disabled wife I struggle with chronic pain 24/7 and need a wheelchair. I bought an open plan house but struggle to get in the bedrooms. I struggle with housework and ironing and washing. I’ve bought myself a chair that’s higher than my wheelchair so I can wash up and cook meals in the kitchen. You’re lucky you do have help in your husband. Even though he works. I’m sure he has the weekend off where he can help you with the house work.
I too have chronic pain, my advice for you as, I speak from experience being alone for chores, ask for help!! No matter if it is friends, family, church, community resources just ask! Remember always that you are not alone!
Im so sorry youre going through this. Continuing to pray for you. Something to help you/ ask doctor about regarding the lymph node removal. Lymph nodes help lymph fluid move out of the extremity. Go ahead and take measurements around your wrist, below elbow, and mid biceps. This will be your baseline. If you start to feel fullness or heaviness in the arm you can remeasure to see if there is swelling. To prevent swelling you can get arm compression sleeves from amazon. The compression level for an arm is about 15-20mmHg. Some people wear as a preventative even before swelling starts. May be something to ask doctor about. And ask doc about home health physical therapy to work on leg strength, balance and gait training.
You are amazing. I know what you mean about the housekeeping situation. I will be starting new cancer therapy next month, and I will take your words to heart. God bless you.
Glad to see another video. I found your channel when you anounced your cancer and was totally surprised eventhough I don't know you but I feel like I do. I'm pray that you have a quick recovery of your leg and the cancer. God bless you and your family.
Hi there this is my first video I’ve seen on your channel. I’m sorry about your diagnosis. I’m in a power chair since 93. The best thing I can suggest to keep the middle of your rooms open have furniture around the perimeter of room. As far as dishes go sit as far forward as you can in your chair and have your knees leaning against thecabnit drawers that f you have any under sink. The other thing is get a set of reachers from Amazon to help pick things off the floor. I’m more than willing to help you with other ideas suggestions. If you reply back we can figure out how to chat.
I have 3 reachers, 1small for sticks in the yard,I am short. Than I have a medium, and a large! Works great when my back is in spasm. I am presently started in the AM on my sewing room. I have been working on it slowly for the last few months, should I repeat - SLOWLY. In the morning I am taking the L shaped desk apart, and putting it out on the curb. I have big totes, and smaller boxes to sort by item.so far I have 8 rotary cutters. I have been quilting for 22 years, so I have a lot of stuff. Wish me luck. I love the IKEA ideas of organization for sewing rooms.
Continuing to pray for you, your family and your situation!!! Remember that GOD can do all things but never fails. GODS GOT THIS AND HE HAS YOU ALSO!!! Your exceptional attitude and outlook will take you far!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤❤❤
Oh geez sorry that happened to you! Hopefully you’re feeling back to normal asap. I have so much to declutter! I think it’s gonna take forever MY husband passed away recently and he kept so much and left me a big mess of junk including a barn full of stuff!
Good points. When my Mom needed to be in a wheelchair, then we discovered that door openings were too narrow. Also couldn't even get a walker through door opening into bathroom. First time on channel.
You're absolutely right, one diagnosis away from a life changing event! Mid Sept this year I woke up short of breath and my heart fluttering. Went to the ER, dx with Atrial Fibrillation. Since, I've been hospitalized 3 times in ICU, 4 visits to the ER, 3 Cardioversions (shock my heart) a cardiac ablation which led to an aneurysm in my groin (site of entry for the ablation) tomorrow I'm having an ultrasound of my groin/leg looking for clots, etc! I feel 80 years old (I'm 67)!!! No energy, no appetite, can't sleep, can't drive, trouble walking, dizzy, can't remember a thing, etc...
I hope you feel better soon. Please get the mole in your neck checked out if u haven’t. I had a melanoma so am hyper about that. I’ve survived 2 other cancers. Stay strong. ❤
Oh you are so right;my son Joe diagnosed with cancer 2 Months ago; it has been a horrendous situation for my son and his loved ones; keep hoping this was not true; so many tests, treatments has his room changed 6 times; my son cannot walk after spinal surgery for tumor was on his spine; Praying mightily for you and all going thru this traumatic time🙏😢🤗🫶
Thank you for sharing. I’m sending positive thoughts and all good things coming your way in 2025. PS it’s 10:45 PM and I’ve been decluttering my bedroom for the past 3 hours!
Don't worry about the clutter. Absolutely every single normal person in the world has piles of crap in the corner of their bedrooms and stacks of books and papers on top of their end tables clean laundry at the end of my bed right now waiting to be folded.
I'm only just beginning to hear your story. Oh my word. So glad you had your surgery in a hospital -- so many folks have them at out-patient centers. Yikes. So sorry you're having such a hard time.😢
Oh my dear your husband must have been beside himself; I am that your smiling bandaged "mushroom " head was the most beautiful sight to him. I love your upbeat attitude, esp the plan to have fun after surgery. But really-- you are in my prayers.
I wish you all the best for this new year! !!! I hope you can be with friends and family and be able to enjoy time with them and that your health journey will be as positive as it can be. Are you on regular meds...?I woke up with seizures after spine surgery (scary!) - it was due to an interaction with the anesthisia and my regular meds (the doctors had to to some research to find that out, it was not a common known side effect for my meds). When the narcotics weaned, the seizures did also. I hope you recovered from that experience, its hard waking up with seizures, being helpless, especially for such a long time. Perhaps friends or neighbours can help you with organisation (not for looks, for you to be independent in your own house). But all of that takes energy.
Emergent delerium is the violent emerge that sounds like you have. as a retired nurse Ive seen it alot. Alot of times it is teenage boys or folks that have experienced past trauma
So right,i had a mastectomy in 2009,and obviously the Dr.didn't take the time to remove all of my breast tissue,otherwise i wouldn't have had another issue 11 yrs.later.It is a serious challenge.
My other half has had some orthopedic related pains and, a couple of times for different procedures he has slept so well that hes been harder to wake up causing concern. Nothing like your experience but the first time, per all the monitors he was pretty much clear of the meds and was simply sleeping. Leading up to the procedure he hadnt been sleeping well and once pain free, relaxed, and asleep he simply wasnt rising "even when we csll his name". My reponse was aside from enjoying his sleep, i found that he did display selective hearing as a part of his baseline.
OMG ! You are so right! It use to be “ wear clean underware” just in case you end up having to go to the hospital but yes, keep the house uncluttered just in case one ends up with a health crisis. 💃
Just found this... I listened to the waking up issues.. and wondered if you dreamed or remembered anything while you were under? I"ve been watching the swedish death cleaning fad.. it's to declutter because you want to make things easy for family to sort thru things if we die.. not to be morbid, but we had to clean out my mother in law's home... it was so hard because she had so much stuff!
My prayers continue to be with you and your family. I’m a firm believer that God helps us grow in mysterious ways, but I’m not sure there is anything to say that wouldn’t come out as a platitude.
Hopefully they ordered Occupational Therapy to come to your home. If not, ask for it and they can show you how to deal with dishes, etc, and many other daily activities. Good luck! For now, microwave and paper plates are your friend. 😅
Yes you can I was 54 over weight seizures cause damage and my right side was effective and legs in braces if you have other leg that works crutches to pull self up to sink lean body against sink make sure brakes on wheel chair and keep it behind you if you need to sit and take breaks you be surprised I sweep and dusted and mopped from my wheel chair there is no such word is can’t always try your hardest was my rule to myself I had home PT and OT months of it and I am doing well now epilepsy is lifelong for me since I was 5 best of luck
Sweetheart I’m so very sorry you have had seizures your whole life . I can’t imagine how terrible that must be. I wish it would all go away and you could be healthy and be able to live a normal life. It makes me so sad knowing what you have been through. My prayers are with you ❤🙏
So the Dr.removed your lymph nodes under your armpit?That is something they should have done when you had the one enlarged one you talked about in your last post!I know ( from experience) that it is a very painful surgery to have done!
I can home for Disney Sept 15, 2024. On the Friday before I did laundry at the Laundry room at Pop century. Going in the room my mobility chair tipped over and caught my ankle in the doorway. Also my chest hurt really bad. Going thru security at the airport as I was sitting down a big pain ran down my back. Went to the doctor’s when I got home and found out my ankle was broken, sternum broken and 2 brakes in my back. Slowly recovering. Had back repaired 12 days ago and the next day I couldn’t walk. Went thru Christmas this way and still need to get back to the doctor to find out what happened to my leg. My house was a mess and had to have out kids come over and help to clean it up. This year 2025 I WILL be getting rid of all the stuff I don’t need.
It is a current concern for me too. I live in a 2nd floor apartment without an elevator. Sending along healing good wishes for you.
You’re exactly right!! I had 3 surgeries on my feet in 2022. I learned then that I had to get my home in order.

I can’t even do the crafts that I have started because of my guilt. 2025…will be my year, of getting organized and clutter free.
Same here. I'm 73, though, and finding out decluttering is not physically or emotionally easy at my age. Good luck.
I'm so glad I found your channel. You are such a cool and real human. And I will be praying for you.
My dad got sick when I was 7 and died when I was 17. Still affecting me 55 years later.
Same here, I was my father’s joy and he was my protector. I was 18 and felt like “how will I ever get through life without him”? He was such a gentle man and studied Gods word all the time and I couldn’t see how God could take such a devout Christian that should be on earth. I totally get it!

Awesome video! Love seeing you in such great spirits. You’re so right that life can flip in an instant with a diagnosis or surgery, and being able to adapt quickly is huge. And that’s so true when it comes to keeping up with our homes and everything else. Stay strong, you’re seriously inspiring!
Exactly … no one is promised tomorrow…I’ve learned this over and over in my lifetime….sending positive energy to carry you thru ❤
Praying for you. Believe me I understand about the clutter in our homes. Mine is still so bad I won’t let anyone in the door.

You are amazing. I know what you mean about the housekeeping situation. I will be starting new cancer therapy next month, and I will take your words to heart. God bless you.
When I went through very trying times health wise I found great comfort in discovering and vfreading the Bible. My prayers are with you
Vfreading the Bible??? Huh??? Mollie Jonte????
Glad to see another video. I found your channel when you anounced your cancer and was totally surprised eventhough I don't know you but I feel like I do. I'm pray that you have a quick recovery of your leg and the cancer. God bless you and your family.

Good points. When my Mom needed to be in a wheelchair, then we discovered that door openings were too narrow. Also couldn't even get a walker through door opening into bathroom. First time on channel.
Same problem
Wow. Just came across ur channel from ur last video. Your experience as well as the comment section are really hitting home. Prayers for yuu!! 🙏
You're absolutely right, one diagnosis away from a life changing event! Mid Sept this year I woke up short of breath and my heart fluttering. Went to the ER, dx with Atrial Fibrillation. Since, I've been hospitalized 3 times in ICU, 4 visits to the ER, 3 Cardioversions (shock my heart) a cardiac ablation which led to an aneurysm in my groin (site of entry for the ablation) tomorrow I'm having an ultrasound of my groin/leg looking for clots, etc! I feel 80 years old (I'm 67)!!! No energy, no appetite, can't sleep, can't drive, trouble walking, dizzy, can't remember a thing, etc...
I hope you feel better soon. Please get the mole in your neck checked out if u haven’t. I had a melanoma so am hyper about that. I’ve survived 2 other cancers. Stay strong. ❤
I was thinking the same thing. Get a dermatologist to check for spots & moles.
Wow! Scary stuff. Glad you are home. Will be Praying for your recovery. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
OMG😮😮😮 bless you. I am in the process of massive decluttering...your video underlines the reason. I hope you can get help through this 🤗
Oh you are so right;my son Joe diagnosed with cancer 2 Months ago; it has been a horrendous situation for my son and his loved ones; keep hoping this was not true; so many tests, treatments has his room changed 6 times; my son cannot walk after spinal surgery for tumor was on his spine; Praying mightily for you and all going thru this traumatic time🙏😢🤗🫶
Thank you for sharing. I’m sending positive thoughts and all good things coming your way in 2025. PS it’s 10:45 PM and I’ve been decluttering my bedroom for the past 3 hours!
That must have been scary as all get out for your family. I'm glad you are on the mend.❤
So sorry this is happening to you. My husband is the same way. If anything can go wrong medically, it will. Keeping you in my prayers.
Don't worry about the clutter. Absolutely every single normal person in the world has piles of crap in the corner of their bedrooms and stacks of books and papers on top of their end tables clean laundry at the end of my bed right now waiting to be folded.
I'm only just beginning to hear your story. Oh my word. So glad you had your surgery in a hospital -- so many folks have them at out-patient centers. Yikes. So sorry you're having such a hard time.😢
Oh my dear your husband must have been beside himself; I am that your smiling bandaged "mushroom " head was the most beautiful sight to him. I love your upbeat attitude, esp the plan to have fun after surgery. But really-- you are in my prayers.
Sending up prayers for you. Keep you chin up. Keep your faith.
Praying for all.❤😊🙏🙏❤🐦
I wish you all the best for this new year! !!! I hope you can be with friends and family and be able to enjoy time with them and that your health journey will be as positive as it can be. Are you on regular meds...?I woke up with seizures after spine surgery (scary!) - it was due to an interaction with the anesthisia and my regular meds (the doctors had to to some research to find that out, it was not a common known side effect for my meds). When the narcotics weaned, the seizures did also. I hope you recovered from that experience, its hard waking up with seizures, being helpless, especially for such a long time. Perhaps friends or neighbours can help you with organisation (not for looks, for you to be independent in your own house). But all of that takes energy.
Hello, I just found this channel!💐💐 I want to say, God bless you! God bless your family!🙏🏽🙏🏽
Emergent delerium is the violent emerge that sounds like you have. as a retired nurse Ive seen it alot. Alot of times it is teenage boys or folks that have experienced past trauma
Amen. I’m living that “one medical mistake away”. It’s horrible.
So right,i had a mastectomy in 2009,and obviously the Dr.didn't take the time to remove all of my breast tissue,otherwise i wouldn't have had another issue 11 yrs.later.It is a serious challenge.
Good things to think about. Thank you for sharing. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
You have been through so much! I’m praying for you!
Tell me more about what they think causes your leg to be unusable?
Love & prayers
You are absolutely right
My prayers are with you. You are really going through it.
Yikes! So sorry you’re going through this. How scary. I’m sure your hubby was worried 😢
New subscriber here...thank you. I have cancer and facing heart surgery soon.❤
My other half has had some orthopedic related pains and, a couple of times for different procedures he has slept so well that hes been harder to wake up causing concern. Nothing like your experience but the first time, per all the monitors he was pretty much clear of the meds and was simply sleeping. Leading up to the procedure he hadnt been sleeping well and once pain free, relaxed, and asleep he simply wasnt rising "even when we csll his name". My reponse was aside from enjoying his sleep, i found that he did display selective hearing as a part of his baseline.
Thinking of you and proud of you for doing what you can. Take care ❤️ dishwasher for dishes?
Sorry to hear what happened to you. Hope you're well soon.
OMG ! You are so right! It use to be “ wear clean underware” just in case you end up having to go to the hospital but yes, keep the house uncluttered just in case one ends up with a health crisis. 💃
The underwear, I still do lol, even torn ones are a no go. Brought back a great memory, ha ha thx so much.
Absolutely....life is fragile...and God holds our breath in His hands.
Are they sure you didn’t have a slight stroke during the surgery or during a seizure?
Just found this... I listened to the waking up issues.. and wondered if you dreamed or remembered anything while you were under? I"ve been watching the swedish death cleaning fad.. it's to declutter because you want to make things easy for family to sort thru things if we die.. not to be morbid, but we had to clean out my mother in law's home... it was so hard because she had so much stuff!
I am so sorry that this has happened!
My prayers continue to be with you and your family. I’m a firm believer that God helps us grow in mysterious ways, but I’m not sure there is anything to say that wouldn’t come out as a platitude.
Sending prayers 🙏 and good vibes your way.
Sending hugs and prayers xx
Good advice! ❤
Hopefully they ordered Occupational Therapy to come to your home. If not, ask for it and they can show you how to deal with dishes, etc, and many other daily activities. Good luck! For now, microwave and paper plates are your friend. 😅
I known what you mean . praying for you 🙏❤️
Yes you can I was 54 over weight seizures cause damage and my right side was effective and legs in braces if you have other leg that works crutches to pull self up to sink lean body against sink make sure brakes on wheel chair and keep it behind you if you need to sit and take breaks you be surprised I sweep and dusted and mopped from my wheel chair there is no such word is can’t always try your hardest was my rule to myself I had home PT and OT months of it and I am doing well now epilepsy is lifelong for me since I was 5 best of luck
Sweetheart I’m so very sorry you have had seizures your whole life . I can’t imagine how terrible that must be. I wish it would all go away and you could be healthy and be able to live a normal life. It makes me so sad knowing what you have been through. My prayers are with you ❤🙏
Where was the surgery done? What part of your body?
What happened that your leg is paralyzed. Was that when they did your lymph nodes? That awful
Please do physical therapy and learn what u can do at home to build strength you got this
Im with you, something unexpected.
If this ends up being anymore than temporary,PT and OT could help a lot
You really don’t have to reinvent the wheel
Ask your provider for kelp
So the Dr.removed your lymph nodes under your armpit?That is something they should have done when you had the one enlarged one you talked about in your last post!I know ( from experience) that it is a very painful surgery to have done!
A social worker can arrange for someone to come clean for you.
She resembles drew Barrymore
Could you get a leg brace to help support you to stand. And arm band crutches. R you going to do therapy? You don't want to loose the use of good leg.
I can home for Disney Sept 15, 2024. On the Friday before I did laundry at the Laundry room at Pop century. Going in the room my mobility chair tipped over and caught my ankle in the doorway. Also my chest hurt really bad. Going thru security at the airport as I was sitting down a big pain ran down my back. Went to the doctor’s when I got home and found out my ankle was broken, sternum broken and 2 brakes in my back. Slowly recovering. Had back repaired 12 days ago and the next day I couldn’t walk. Went thru Christmas this way and still need to get back to the doctor to find out what happened to my leg. My house was a mess and had to have out kids come over and help to clean it up. This year 2025 I WILL be getting rid of all the stuff I don’t need.
Washing dishes from a wheelchair: ask a neighbor to come do them for you 1x per day.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Are you a follower of Christ/born again/spirit filled believer?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well. Too bad it wasn’t the pregnancy surprise. 🤦🏻♀️
Sending the love.
Oh my. I couldnt get in the front door. 😮
We buy too much stuff!
If I were I were in a wheel chair I couldnt live in my house! Too many stairs
I swapped over to using Ketamine as my choice for anesthesia for the same issues you have had . I am way more calm and easy to wake up now.
