- Oh yes No matter the fatigue and lack of energy you have. Your passion that you love will drive you on. Pick a hobby or pursue your passion, it will get you through your most trying times.
I'm 70 and I'm tired a lot. !! 😂 Just follow the signals that your body sends.
Do everything at your own pace and don't worry about what other people think🤗
Agreed 😊
One day, one thing, one chore...at a time. Loving Princess Gracie, Speedy, Spooky and Cleo guaranteed to make you perk up! Praying for all of you several times a day, each and every day! Every update appreciated very much - do when you can. I really believe God hears our prayers.
Hello Mr. Tom and kitty crew.
Garden looks great. Praying for you everyday.
Take it easy in hot weather god bless
Take care of yourself and be safe love the kitty crew
It's good to see you Tom and the Kitty crew. Take it easy and stay cool. We'll be here when you feel like showing us around again. Take care hun.
At 70 and after a stroke, I do what I can, when I can. Fatigue hits unexpectedly whenever I stop and sit a minute. Can't be out in this heat during the day or stand bright sunlight. My watering schedule is early day, and evening just before sundown. Your body will tell you to slow down and rest. Do only what you can Mr Tom. Kitty krew can smell the change in your body. That's why they're sticking close. Please take care in this heat. Blessings to you and the kitty krew ❤❤
Take your time Mr.Tom. Don't over do it. I'm a cancer survivor and understand the fatigue. Sleep helps the body to recover. Kinda like re-charging your battery. Protein heals cells. This was drilled in my head during my treatments. So, eat small snacks if your appetite is gone. You need the nutrition. The kitty crew know you're not feeling 100%. They're checking on you. Take care, Celeste
Please listen to Celeste Precious Mr. Tom. Pace yourself, plenty of cat naps, work when it's cooler in the morning. Yes, the fatigue is real, the body is fighting&doing overtime healing.🤗❤️🙏
Take your time don't overdo.make sure you take breaks drink plenty of water❤
It is good to see you out and about, Mr. Tom. Take it easy in the heat. I always say, take the job as if you're eating the 'proverbial elephant'; one bite at a time. May the Father heal you, bless you and all those gathered here. ❤❤🙏🙏⚔⚔
Take rest when you can. Your garden is coming along beautifully. Peace and Prayers Out to you and kitty Crew.💙✌️🌷🙏
The media sells us a lot of baloney about how we should be over-achievers as seniors. Truth is, we are fine at whatever level we are able to function. And yes, ability and strength go down with age. Some days are worse than others. You are doing great Mr. Tom. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Your videos always improve my day.
Mr Tom, this is my second time at hormone therapy. 9 years ago and now. 28 months this time. Shots first time pills this time. I just try and do what I enjoy doing and try not to do what I don’t enjoy. Retired so if I don’t get it done today well I do it tomorrow. Good luck hope you feel better.
Garden is looking good remember to stay cool and get some rest God bless you and the kitty crew
Hey, Mr, Tom. The squash is so good and healthy. The different variety of tomato plants should be a discovery. I was with my mom in Nashville for a good while. Back to Indiana and it is nearly as hot & humid here as in Tennessee. Many prayers & much love to you from your caring friends on here !! Take care and get better. 🥰
Mr tom thanks for being an inspiration to me and my wife. We have a kitty crew too but the boy we have is always fighting for his territory. God bless you and it’s great to see you
Don't over do it Tom. Pace yourself prayers 😊
Your garden is looking great. Take care and rest when you feel tired. Continuing to pray for you ❤
Be kind to yourself, there is always next year. I had treatment for cancer and they all make you exhausted. There isnt much that cant wait till you have more energy. Even if you can't take care of the garden tomorrow it will all be fine. I found I had to hire out the grass cutting as I just didn't have it in me.
Greetings from WV! As a cancer survivor, cancer treatment teaches you to live better. That's my experience. You'll enjoy the small things more, and find more pleasure in everyday, ordinary things like never before. I have tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini, and herbs this year. Smaller bucket garden, but I appreciate being able to do it. Have fun and take care!
I continue to pray for you and your son for God to sustain and energize you and to provide for you both according to your needs.
Cleo's gardening supervision approval:) I'm mowing in 90s feels like 100+. Almost got overheated yesterday so I'll have to finish the back today. So please be smart and aware of heat stroke. Stay super hydrated and take many breaks, more than you normally would do because you are fighting illness. Get a chair and a small table or upside down bucket to keep your water handy right by your garden. I don't do gardening but if I only manage 15 minutes of yard work at a time, I go back inside for my breaks. It is the only way I have survived these last couple of record breaking heat years in South TX at 67 years of age.
Howdy 🤠 Mr Tom, Always a Pleasure visiting with you and your beautiful kitty crew! Take care and one day at a time 🌺🍄🪴🙏🤠🙏
Mr. Tom if that day is the only day you feel like getting out in the heat than that’s OK with me! I can’t take the heat either! God bless and take care of yourself!
Slow and steady wins the race mr tom. Its ur garden, u get to do what u want when u want! 😂
Absolutely
Cats love fresh dirt. They do it every time. I fixed the kitchen sink to drain into a barrel and siphon the water from there to the tomato plants and select areas of grass I have around the back yard. Ummmm the blueberries look delicious. .
I have a load of Badger's digging my garden up every night and there's not a lot I can do about it .
Yes, I can tell that I like to garden, too.
I don't know about fatigue from cancer treatment but I do know fatigue is a major side effect of MS so I feel your pain hun. It's a constant fight😢 God be with you hun🙏🏻🤗
Yes. I agree, my ms is really zapping my energy.
@@lesliearbogast1 🤗🙏🏻 I feel you. God be with you sis
I have fibromyalgia and several types of arthritis and degenerative disc disease. Decent days, ok days and heck with it all days.❤❤
@@sandypittman8182 I have fibromyalgia as well as multiple sclerosis I feel your pain sis ,God be with you🤗🙏🏻
Thank you Mr Tom ❤️✝️ please be careful going outside and working.. its too hot and humid... I know you feel like you have chores... But you need to worry about your health right now. 🙏
Thanks!
That was so very kind of you to do Carolin. Thank You so much
It's good to see you Mr Tom! I definitely can relate to the fatigue! I am on hormone therapy for medistatic breast cancer ,I'm doing ok but I definitely miss my energy! Just rest we will see you when you are rested up! Sending prayers!!
❤rest. Listen to your body. Enjoy the kitties. Many prayers. ❤
You are in my prayers. Stay strong and get plenty of rest.
Hey Mr Tom sure looks like we are in for a very Hot summer you could use a little rain there make sure you drink water and a little powerade keep your Electrolytes up Stay Safe Take Care !!!
Will do
Phoenix. Over 100 daily. Had to do yard work at 4:30 am. All the best. MM
Wow!! 100 Degrees is just too hot 🥵. Bless your heart!
Hey MrTom please take care because remember you’re under the doctors care and please stay safe and God bless y’all! 😻😻😻🌱🌱🌱🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯
A garden tour on Sunday's would be great. Drink lots of water and keep eating those blueberries. Take care. 😊
❤ take it easy Mr Tom . Love seeing your videos post when you're up to doing them 😊 .
Glad you like them!
Good to see you today. Take care , don't over do.
Sorry that the hormone shot is kicking your butt. I know what extreme fatigue and tiredness feels like. A year ago, I couldn't even hold out to do little things. Just taking out the garbage wore me out. Found out that my hemoglobin had dropped to 7.2. I was diagnosed with severe anemia and the doctor wanted to put me in the hospital to receive a blood transfusion but stubborn me said no. I've been anemic since my childhood and saw every kind of doctor I could, but they couldn't figure it out. I remembered that when I was pregnant, my hemoglobin came up to 13. I finally figured out on my own that if I took prenatal vitamins that my blood would come up and within 6 months it came up to 12.3. I have less fatigue but still have the tiredness but all that is due to my other chronic conditions. Tom, just take it easy, do what you can and let the rest go, which by the sound of it, you're doing. Your garden is looking good and I'm jealous of your blueberries and figs. Cleo is making sure that you don't overdo things by resting on your feet and lap...lol. Got to love our furry friends. Sunday garden tours sound just fine to me. Looking forward to this Sunday. Take care and stay cool, my friend.
Mr. Tom, so glad to see you again. Glad to see.you are planting a small garden this year, and so do I. Take it easy and do minimum. Make sure you eat and take plenty of protein to keep you strong. Wal-Mart sells the protein shakes, a pack of 20 for $20. Do not over do it! We love you and want you around for a long time! Kitties want to be part of the food growing, that is so sweet. God bless you and the kitty krew.
Slow and steady wins the race. You do things at your own pace. You will have a nice garden and the kitty crew even if it is not as quickly as the young Mr. Tom would have done it. Your health and happiness are most important. Lots of love and blessings!
My wife and I hope you keep the videos coming especially the garden tour every sunday
I have COPD and I literally can’t go out this week. High 90 and high humidity. Take it easy
Don’t push yourself too hard
Check into the new treatments they have out there. They will pay you and make your life better! Good luck if you are able! Look into trials they have out there in your area.
Hello Mr.Tom and the kitty crew and Gracie of course . It's 95 in Ohio. I understand about fatigue because I have Chronic Fatigue with my illness for the last 4 years. Prayers for you Mr.Tom. ❤
Hello Mr. Tom great to see you. I get rain almost daily in Florida. Sorry it's so hot for you and your garden. Maybe take some naps with the kitty crew. Don't overwork yourself. Maybe a nice cool glass of ice tea to perk you up
It's hot and humid here too I love hearing from you and seeing the kitties. Stay safe and God bless 👍👍❤️😃🙏😺
Mr Tom, i am retired and try to accomplish what I can with my time. The heat this past week has taken a toll on me. I have a good sized garden that has kept me busy. I tried to utilize the early morning cooler temps to get most of my daily work done and stay inside from late morning and the rest of the afternoon. The cool morning air and hard work does my body good. Then after lunch, with the air conditioner on, its nap time. I'm just trying to enjoy my retirement while I can. Have a great day.
Ooowee Mr. Tom we are getting heat here in Eastern Oregon . It was 96 yesterday and will be 100 degrees today. I walk my border collie morning early and late in the evening, some days it’s almost all I can do. I have MS and I’m 65.
Early girl tomatoes are my favorite!!!
A border collie are so Beautiful!! Take good care and stay hydrated as you can.❤
Mr. Tom, it’s so good to see you out and about. I know your garden would be much larger if your health would allow. Your attitude is key to healing, and I can see your determination is there. You’re much of a man, I hope you see that in yourself. You are an inspiration to any man going through what you are. You’ve taught us so much, and I for one appreciate you!! Love you, Mr Tom❤️
Well Tom, you still did a lot of work. Glad the tomatoes are doing better. Staying tired, you deserve credit for all you still do. Better Boy makes a nice tomato. Take good care, drink well and take naps. MGBYAML ❤
Didn't realize how dehydrated I was for days. Some electrolytes and found jerky for sodium with no chemicals starting to feel better finally. 90s too in Michigan out in the yard. Overdid it.
Take it easy out there. Hotter than normal here.
Oh Mr. Tom,
It may have taken extra time, but you got it done.
After my brain tumor surgery last year... The day I left the hospital, I walked 27 steps.
Be gentle on yourself. And focus on the good.
Much love (and prayers)
- Gina
PS: Outside PDX Oregon - 90*.
Hello Mr Tom. Sorry you're feeling so rough. I see the kitty crew is trying to help you feel better with all that love their giving you. Garden looks great. Stay cool and take care.❤😊
A garden tour on Sundays sounds lovely! Praying you get through this ❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Mr. Tom , I really think the heat makes me even more tired and feel exhausted. Upstate New York humidity is awful yesterday it was 94 outside then humidity was higher than we are used to . Good thing you go inside to get out of the heat , remember to stay hydrated drink lots of water. I know that you can take care of yourself but I still worry about you and the kitty crew. God Bless you and the kitty crew and your Family 🙏❤️
Please stay hydrated. I was hospitalized and in CCU 3 days because of extreme dehydration. Take care❤
Please take care of yourself Mr. Tom. Thank you for sharing your little piece of life with us and prayers that you feel better and have many more years for friends and family.
Take care of yourself Mr Tom we all love you love your videos
Cancer can cause anemia. Anemia makes me unable to get out of my recliner sometimes. It also causes restless leg synonym. Watching your channel helps me pass the time. We love you Mr Tom.
Please take care Mr Tom and don't overdo
Please take good care of yourself in the beginning summer heat. We are surviving the heat dome here in Eastern Pennsylvania. Hydration is essential for you and the kitty Krew. As always great to see you and visit the growing garden. Be safe and take necessary healing time. You remain in my morning prayers
Be careful in this heat! God Bless you and Keep you❤
Oh, Mr. Tom! Thank you for the gardening "fix"! I sure hope you get your energy level back soon. I know how frustrating it is. It's been 6 months for me, and I'm still only marginally better. I don't wish iron deficiency on anyone! Those early girls look fine! Here in Florida, we pretty much always plant determinant, heat resistant tomatoes, or we don't get any. They're also a lot less hassle. Today here in Marianna, it's 84 degrees at 2:00 pm - God is blessing us with an unusually cool day! May God bless you and keep you safe as you heal.
❤❤❤❤ Hello Mr. Tom
I got a black cat named Shadow,he follows me everywhere! Lol! My grass is all dried up here in Ohio and been about 90 for the last week.Take care!
Slow and steady goes the race right now. Just be sure and drink as much as you can and eat small snacks that are high in protein.
Hey, Mr. Tom! MN finally got enough rain to break the drought--and then some! Yesterday I opened up for some fresh air but it was really chilly. Last night I had to bump the furnace to knock off the chill. Hopefully that's the last time I need the heat until heating season. Hugs and blessings to you and the Kitty Krew!
I live in Fl and it’s hot here also please take care of yourself and love on those fur babies😊
Good morning Mr.Tom! It has been solitary hot here in Alabama for sure ! Take care of yourself Mr.Tom and don't get over heated out there in your garden.Give yourself grace.The kitties,your family and all us need you and love you Mr.Tom!
Take your time. You are doing great for what you are undergoing. I, too, have had health issues as well as my hubby. Neither of us has the energy we use to have. We had to realize its time to take one day at a time . We dont have your issues but we understand. Blessings to you and your kitty crew ❤
Mr. Tom. I intended to only have 12 tomato plants this year. So I bought 12 plants . After all the rain we had in May and the first week of June, my big long 12 foot bed I plant Romas in and it was full of well established plants. So I thinned them down to 12 plants. I had bought 8 Romas so now there are 20. Then I saw that I also had tomatoes coming up in a few of my other tomato beds. All together I have 32 great looking plants. I am glad I have lots of neighbors who always love to get vegetables from us. ❤❤❤. Please be careful of the heat.
Hi my friend ☺ 😊 hugs kitty's! Love ya all.
Good morning, Mr. Tom.
It is quite warm today.
Been doing more inside stuff with it being hot.
Have you ever seen a giant cabbage that's the size of 4 large ones? I was gifted one. The loose leaves...there were 12 loose leaves, made 12 of 7" long cabbage rolls. Then 1/4 made buttered cabbage ( enough for a hot table 1/3 pan). The rest was added to a mix of new onions, carrot chunks, 2 medium zucchini and herbs that I roasted in the oven with my seasoned potatoes on top of the cabbage pieces. Roasted som chicken thighs the way I like and got 6 meals out of it. So now I have 4 meals of that to freeze plus the cabbage rolls . Lots of cabbage.
Next time I'm canning some German pickled coleslaw for the shelf. Great for winter.
I'm sorry you're struggling so much with the exhaustion from everything. Heat wouldn't make that any easier. I love that you keep going! May YHWH bless your endeavors in this time!!!
Bamboo is a problem & privet is just as bad. 😆
Edit: yessir, a Sunday garden tour is fine. Figs and blueberries are good choices.
Hi Mr. Tom! 52 degrees this morning. Sounds nice and cool but can't grow any delicious vegetables here like you can there. Looking forward to the "Sunday Stroll" in your garden. All the best to you and the kitties!
Hi Mr Tom, everything is coming along nicely in your gardens. Hope you feel better and back to normal soon.
Its early summer here in central Texas lol so that means its hot. Its in the 90s with heat indexes in the triple digits. We thankfully have had quite a bit of rain through the spring, that filled our lakes and tanks back up and helped get the garden off to a pretty good start if a muddy one. Last year was miserably dry and I am sure it will be again by July and August.
I brought in my first good harvest of okra, yellow squash and cucumbers along with green beans today. Going to head over to my mother's for the weekend and cook up some good home grown home cooked meals for her.
Take it easy and don't overdo it. Best wishes to you and the kitty crew.
No hormone therapy, aside from the after care, which i discontinued after 1.5 years. It was an estrogrn blocker, which has horrible known side effects, and i had them all! I had 3 months of chemo , 1 month rest, then surgery ( lumpectomy) followed by another month of recuperating, then 6 weeks of radiation, monday-friday. It took me about a year to regain all of my energy, but when you know it's a long process, its not so bad! Ijist continued with my daily life, just took more breaks! :) doing pretty good, going into year 3 of finding the lump. Hang in there and keep yiur eye on the prize!
Hi Mr. Tom and the kitties. It’s hot all over the place, you’ve got to be careful and stay as cool as you can! Hoping it will rain there soon, I know you need it. The best thing, is to take little naps when you can, and make sure to hydrate a lot. Kitties too! - from SW On Canada.
Stay hydrated Mr Tom
Hey Mr Tom !
Cold here in Sth Island NZ, colder tommorow, fire going , had pizza for supper tonight .
Please don't over do the gardening in the heat ❤ Spooky will be monitoring how much Papa is doing ! Lol
I see Cleo is up to usual tricks lol
Keep up the fluids , do the minimum to get by until you feel better.
First priority is getting enough sleep, good food , doing what you can without thrashing yourself.
Kitties are looking good 👍 and healthy .
Garden looks really good , you'll get some nice fresh veg this summer , it doesn't have to be by the bucket load !
More veg and fruit means more work at the end of the season !
Take it easy , potter and enjoy your days as much as you can !
Thoughts and prayers from down under ❤
Ps I have grown early girl and they are tasty and being early don't take as long to get tomatoes ❤
I would love a garden tour every week ❤❤❤
Drink plenty of fluids, rest.
It's been a scorcher in North AL. You make the BEST videos, Mr. Tom!
Take it really slow Mr. Tom and rest often. Unfortunately we are in Miami at the hospital and it doesn't look good for my husband. You're garden and yard look beautiful 😊. God bless you.
Sending prayers for your husband and you.
May the lord send you strength and peace always. Sandy. 💙
Sitting on your lap that was a funny cute moment ya got a green thumb Mr.Tom🌻🌱
Enjoyed seeing you and the kitty crew today. ❤
glad you are pacing yourself You are amazing what a beautiful garden
Your tomatoes are looking great 🌳👍 Lots of rain here. We're expecting 2 more inches today--flash floods here and there. Take it easy and do what you can when you can Mr. Tom. See you Sunday for your garden update if you're able to do one, otherwise, we'll see you another time. Hugs to you and the kitty krew xoxo
Good Morning Tom! & Happy Friday! I hope you have a Beautiful Weekend! Be sure to stay hydrated and take good care of you. Lots of Love and prayers for you and everyone always, Cindy.❤
one step at a time, I'm doing my garden day to day no rush you have all summer. I still have tomato plants to plant also but it's been too hot. Saturday will be cool up here so I will plant them then. Also Its better to plant squash later in the season because there are less bugs to get at them.
Hi Kitty crew!
I understand about it taking days to do stuff I got Parkinson's and takes me days just to mow the yard
I suggest taking a misting sprinkler and watering that way to save your energy . Many hugs prayers and belly rubs for the kitty krew .
Good to see you again Mr Tom. .What a beautiful green lush yard you have, for not having rain in 2 weeks.
Central Kansas, we've had rain. Shut down wheat harvest for a bit. Garden is doing fine. Yup....do a little bit, rest a little bit. Bless you xo I go Monday to get my biopsy results.
Nice to visit with you and the kittie Krew again , just take it easy and don't overdo it , your plants are looking good, have a wonderful evening, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Mr. Tom I live in rural upstate New York and it's been in the 90s 5 days in a row now which is very unusual for this area. The heat indexes have made it seem like 100 degrees every day.
i hace llupus,,,there are days i feel so weak and drained...i got to force myself to do something, just keep plugging along
