MUSIC BY EPIDEMIC SOUND
Some people would have spent the video talking about the sad state of health care-not Nanny-you instead have compassion for those wanting for care and the caregivers-thank you for the reminder to keep love and compassion flowing in our world
Hi Nanny. The fact that you felt this way for others show you are a very caring and nurturing person. Life isn't a cake walk for any of us at times but kindness matters and is so important. Always your recipes look so yummy. God bless and prayers for healing and health.
I’m a retired RN who worked 42 years in a major medical center in NYC. I can appreciate what you must have felt the other day. I’ve noticed the “people skills” have changed tremendously over the years; especially with the younger generation in the nursing field. 1 out of 5 cares. If even. It’s become a career for them. Also how much money & how fast they can become an administrator. They don’t want to get their hands dirty doing patient care. The compassion seems to be lost now. It bothered me when I saw it with my own parents care 6 years ago. When I became an RN in 1976, I was taught care and compassion along with the pathophysiology. I remember the words spoken to my graduating class by our college professor. He said “Nursing is not about how fast you can climb the corporate latter. It’s about compassion as well as taking the knowledge base you’ve learned from your head & getting it into your hands.”
Seems even retired, I’ve never forgotten that statement made to us that day in May, 1976.
I graduated in 1975 with a BSN , I know of what you speak. I spent 43 yrs, as a Bedside nurse working critical care, dialysis, IV therapy, etc. I always treated patients the way I would want my family member or myself treated. They greatest compliment I can say is when one of my fellow colleagues said to me if I get sick I want you to take care of me.
Thank you for your years of compassionate service, Joanne..our daughter is also an RN..hospitals,Disneyland and now a school nurse ❤️
After 45 years as a CNA and unit secretary, I've done my share of working along side RNs. I would say maybe 8 out of 10 were great nurses. Now I retired a year ago. But yes, those 2 out of 10 would do better in another field of work. I also saw first hand that the super smart students with high grades, have not always been the greatest nurses. Sadly, one bad nurse can give that patient a bad experience and then they feel that they don't want to ever go back to that hospital. You were very observant nanny. It's a hard emotionally draining job, and most hospital personnel try their best.
I too graduated around that time & it is so very sad how the profession has changed. I'm so happy that I experienced the true art of nursing & I feel so sorry for the profession today- they are working through so many challenges , all the while being so very short staffed.
In Health care as well and I agree! My daughter is currently in nursing school and I constantly remind her that the bad she sees should not be the norm and to let her light shine bright!!! She can not believe how others in nursing field are treating the sick! I can’t either. Disgusting!
welcome to socialized medicine.
Love the buttons on your sleeve!! Thrift Sweater?!
No, Mary Kay…ii got it a year or so on line…I think it was a Walmart purchase…I thought it was so elegant and high end looking…❤️
I live in a small town in Tennessee, and can usually be seen quickly by my own PC. If not, urgent care is available fairly quickly. The emergency room at the local hospital does its best, but the wait can be long.
Mary Ellen, dear Nanny, This vlog of your observations in the emergency room was so well done, It was inspiring for us and a tribute to all the health care workers we depend on so much! Just this week, as a single senior, I spent 3.5 hrs in an Urgent Care, waiting to have my aching right wrist x-rayed. Thank God, no breakage but a serious sprain and the loss of the complete use of my right hand/wrist/arm for weeks to come. And, it brought me just the same admiration and respect for the healthcare personnel I came in contact with. Thank you Nanny for expressing your appreciation and mine so well. God bless you! Patricia
I am so sorry about your injury, Patricia…be careful during the next few weeks…sending hugs…❤️
After my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the emergency room, the attending doctor could not have been more kind when he broke the news to us.
However, the oncologist that we were sent to a few weeks later was so abrupt and actually told us that we were taking up too much of her time and she had other patients to attend to. When she left us waiting in the exam room, my husband and I were so distraught we both teared up. Needless to say, we transferred to another doctor who was very kind and understanding. Sadly my husband passed 8 months after his diagnosis. That was almost 5 years ago.
@@tuijawilkening I am so sorry for the loss of your precious husband. It is so terrible that you had to deal with such an insensitive person while going through such a tragic diagnosis. Shame on that Dr. They should not have been working in that profession. How cold and irresponsible. I’m so glad that you changed Drs. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers to you.
Thanks for sharing. The recipe looks delicious. Prayers for pain relief for Moose 🙏. Your observations on the emergency room visit were spot on and very kind hearted. I so admire your ability to not complain and find the good in all your experiences.
5 hrs is a wee bit long for anyone. I'M a fan o bisque& she crab soup. So darn addicting. Nanny, you are a beautiful lady. I am 75 in July, I don't act it. I put mind over .matter most of the time, give myself that extra kick,ya know..✌🙏❣🌞🌴
So right, Sheila…that’s my motto, too…keep on truckin’…mind over matter…❤️
Hello from Toronto, Canada. I recently lost my husband. About a month ago i suddenly lost my vision. I had a detached retina a few years ago and was worried it happened again. I called uber my vision came back on the Way to hospital. I was seen right away and they determined it was an ocular migraine. What a relief. The doctor was concerned i was dealing with this alone but I was calm but terrified. Tough being old but staff were wonderful.
Oh, I’m happy your vision problem was not serious, Susan, and that you are well now..please accept my condolences for your loss…❤️🙏
Sorry for your loss Susan. Take care,
Such a thoughtful video, thank you.
Just want to let you know that you inspired me so much the way you take care of yourself. You are such a beautiful lady. I am almost 77 years old and trying to take care of myself. Must be doing something good because people are always giving me nice compliments . Thanks to you it feels good. Don’t need to be rich to feel good. Just love yourself. Thanks for your videos. ❤
Very interesting, your ER observations. In my opinion the most glaring issue here is that a person with Moose's age and history can't get an appointment with his primary care physician sooner than 6 weeks and is told to go sit in an ER for several hours only to be sent back to the pcp. I assume the appointment is still going to be March 31st. In fact, from your description of the other patients, it sounds like there weren't any actual emergencies, just people seeking healthcare. The healthcare system in this country is broken and has been for a long time. I am a retired critical care nurse, and I don't know how to fix it, but this much I do know: it all comes down to money. The bisque looked delicious.
Hi nanny ! Happy Sunday! My daughter works at a big hospital here in our city and works in ER! So I hear stories about patients in the ER and it's so sad bc they sit there for hrs bf Seen! No fault of healthcare workers so much but they are so over loaded and ER is so busy ! People get upset and become upset easily and to try and calm them is her job ! You can stay in the halls at an ER for hours sometimes actually days if no beds ! Sorry for ur 5 hr experience!
I have never had bisque ! Not a big fish lover but it looked good ! Sending you and moose hugs and hope he is okay ! Love ya both , Barb ❤
Thanks, Barb…Happy Valentine’s Day… BTW…congrats on your VIRILE!! It WWAS a great video!❤️
I am so believer you have to have an advocate, thank goodness you were with Moosie the nurses are overworked, a lot o work 12 hour days that i sure don’t believe in, i feel that anybody can’t do a good job at the 11th and 12 th hour. Prayers for Moosie. We love you both
Friday is a bad day to go to the emergency room.
Hi Nanny, wow! 5 hours. I am married to a healthcare worker now retired. If x rays are needed emergencies etc. The emergency room is the place to go. Glad your husband is home and had an x-ray.
Me & hubby go to an urgent care,ER only if we absolutely have to but no it's rare to be able to see our Dr quickly.
Nanny and Moosy, You are both such special people. You really don't realize the impact you have on my life. My beautiful mother died at such a young age and raised in an orphanage, so I didn't have any known relatives. I truly love the two of you and totally agree with the hospital situation. I don't comment often because I have extremely shaky hands. Somedays it takes so long to write one sentence. God Bless both of you and stay well and above all be safe. Huggs, xxxs
Thanks, Sherill…for the very nice comment..Be well snd God bless you, too..❤️
Good morning Nanny. My 38 year old daughter has been an ER nurse for 15 years. She has tried to move to other areas of health care, Heart valve research, fixed flight wing nursing, bedside nursing. Each and every time she has gone back to the ER. Yes she likes the fast pace of the ER and she loves helping people in need. Some of the stories she has told me are heartbreaking. Note our ER's here in the states are overloaded with DRUG and MENTAL HEALTH people, so sad. From the young to the elderly she cares deeply for her patients she is one of those caring calm souls who can calm most people down, especially the elderly. She has mentioned from time to time how a nurse will come in and just not a good fit for ER. The trauma and drama is too much for them or they don't have the compassion. However I can say I am so proud of her for the work she does and the loving care she gives her patients. COVID was especially hard, people had to wait so long to be seem, it was sad. At times the abuse from patients was overwhelming to her and her coworkers yet most hung in there. At one point she said she was so tired of seeing people die. Many nurses left to be travel nurses because of the $$$$$ they could make, my daughter didn't she chose to stay and help her hospital. For that I am thankful and proud of her. I myself have been in the ER a couple of times i the last 3 years and it isn't easy however I have a different point of view on the whole experience. I've had Drs and nurses read my last name which is not a normal name and they have ask me if my daughter is a nurse and they have worked with her and shared with me how wonderful she is. Drs have even written her letters of recommendation at times when she has changed jobs. Once again I must say how proud I am of the carrier my daughter chose. I ask people to be patient with ER staff please, they want you diagnosed and out as much as you do. Thanks Nanny for giving us your outlook on the healthcare workers. Blessing to you from Texas.
Thanks, Mimi..for your comments …your daughter sounds wonderful…and yes…we all appreciate those who care for us…we have an RN daughter,and several grandsons who are paramedics and firefighters ..all dedicated! ❤️🙏
Oh bless you both for enduring and being patient in the ER. Over the past 3 years I have accompanied many trips to the ER with my mom, now deceased stepfather , my husband ….I have taken myself ( alone) for broken ankle and ribs…what’s bad about taking yourself is you can’t be given anything stronger than Motrin as you have to drive yourself home …definitely harder for those who live alone or don’t have anyone available to take us. And most definitely if x-rays needed right away the ER is generally the only place you can go …seeing your doctor in their office won’t help as they usually can’t do scans, labs etc and then your care is just delayed. I feel for Moose, I have a replaced hip and have AVN in the other hip and have had my share of falls in the garden…there is always that scare that one has about dislocation of the artificial hip and must be tended to immediately. I pray that treatment from his Ortho and GP will be done promptly. Your bisque looked delicious..I am going to try it soon for my husband, I’m not a seafood lover but I know he’d enjoy. God bless you both…you are such a thoughtful beautiful lady Nanny.
family and friends of people with illnesses, accidents, are to be commended, emergency runs, constant care, dealing with stressed patient, is as hard on the caretaker as the ill person,
you are doing beautifully, and taking care of yourself thru it all, it aint easy, lol,
done with love for a life well spent, not all women are of your caliber, you raise the bar
Thanks for the lovely comment, Joan…❤️
been in your shoes several times. made many trips to the er with my husband.....yes you wait for hours! yesterday was feb 11th, my husband had a stroke twenty years ago on feb 11th, but he is still with me and i have been his caregiver through it all... i am so happy to still have my valentine! he is my sweetheat! god bless you and the moose.
NZanny I'm going to make your Bisque!!! Yum! So Sorry about Mooney's hip!! I went to Urgent Care the other day..I was in & out in 30mins.. but for nsd chest head cold. The ER here is always a all day experience..last time we went ee were there about 8hrs..my hubby got his foot crushed & 3 broken bones at work. So that was a few months back he had surgery & Healed up now ! Thank God!! It was horrible for him & me. Tfs
Try shrimp and grits …..delicious! You look beautiful!
Oh,I made my first bisque a year ago and it was delish...from scratch with cooking sherry...so yummy!!! I a going to try yours!!!! Thank you for all you do. Praying for you and your precious Moosy💞💞💞💞
Dear Nanny sorry to hear you had to go to the Hospital with Moose.
It is sounds like our A@E.
Loads of Patients and not enough Staff.
Actually our Nurses and Ambulance Drivers where On Strike recently. For More Pay.
The NHS is not the way it used to be.
But they are Underfunded and try to do their best. They sure do.
I have been to The Emergency Room on my own a good few times.
It does not faze me as I was an Nursing Assistant at one time myself.
I’m glad Moose has stronger pain killers.
Hopefully he will feel better soon.
Take care God Bless
Love Cathy 🏴xxx
Thank you so much for your observations while in the emergency room...really gave me new thoughts on these visits ( which I pray are VERY few), for us as we go through life, & to be grateful. 😊 Also, your shrimp bisque looked delicious! Will be right over, ( if I can get a flight soon enough☺☺) LOL!!!
It's the same problem in Europe! -And I know one thing. The politicians responsible for this, rarely depend on public hospitals themselves! It's "Follow the Money".. Still compared to non western countries, we are lucky to have hospitals etch. that do function, albeit "just so"..
Best wishes to dear Moosie❤❤ -I wonder if the collagen could help his hip..
The shrimp bisque looked scrumptious!!
I’ve notice the same thing with the Emergency room about the nurses and patients. I was in the hospital about 2 weeks ago. Some of the nurses were wonderful and some did not need to be nurses. I think your hair is so pretty. It looks Platinum. Thank you for another wonderful video. I hope Moose gets well soon.🌷💗
Well, they have actual police officers permanently stationed in the ER in Hong Kong. The security guards don't do anything at all. I've seen people in professional kitchen attire with lots (LOTS!) of gauze around their hand and lots of blood MORE THAN ONCE. (I guess those are knife accidents.) There usually is someone with a feverish baby. I've also seen the cops bring people in CHAINS in. Everyone is very downcast, waiting for hours and hours. I think it's much longer than in the US. No one will be comforting and warm. In fact, a triage nurse once mocked me and said "You feel like you're going to die?" I was practically on the floor in pain. I once saw someone actually collapse across the triage nurse's desk. They carted her off to the back. No water source is available. However, if you came in with chest pain, you will have electrodes slapped on in about 15 minutes for an EKG. They will draw blood to check for troponin. If those are both normal, they will send you home with Panadol (aka Tylenol). No referral in that case. If you are admitted before a major holiday falling inconveniently close to a weekend, you will be kept on an IV with only 1500 ml of water per day, with no water or food allowed by mouth, just in case you might need surgery, but no doctor with see you for 5 or 6 days. You also can't get CT, ultrasound or anything but simple blood tests on holidays or Sunday. If you chose NOT to go to the ER, you have to wait between six months and five years to see a doctor, get a CT, ultrasound or MRI, depending on how booked up a particular specialty is. There are no GPs except in the private sector. So, idk, are you glad you're in the US? Wait, we do have one amazing perk! Ambulances are FREE. They also have two paramedics and a driver. As I recall, in the US, the driver had to also lift and lug patients. Is that correct? Regarding the priority of seeing patients, i.e. triage, there is a protocol for that. I know for a fact that in Hong Kong you will be triaged semi urgent if you have a head injury but report that you did NOT lose consciousness. Semi urgent is everything except an insect bite. You are not seeing a doctor anytime soon. I expect they also have a triage protocol in the US.
Dear Nanny, great video! I have to say, you are rockin' that black top, white up-do, pearls, and red heart!!
Your such a sweet person Nanny 🥰❤️Hope Moosie gets his hip pain taken care of soon🙏🏻
Texas Lady🤗
You and I, are the soothing comforting type...
I hope Moose gets some relief. You look beautiful as always! I love your lipstick!❤
I bought Bio Oil dry skin gel and love it! Thanx for recommend. I’d have never found it on my own
You show such compassion and understanding of people! Your story on the emergency room visit was really interesting!
It's the same story in the UK
Since covid and lockdown getting to see a doctor is almost impossible.
A few weeks ago my neighbour had several symptoms pointing to possible heart attack...her sister rang for an ambulance and they told her there was a 2 hour wait...unbelievable...
The ambulance arrived in less than 2 hours fortunately and she was having a heart attack.
It's beyond belief whats happening.
Hi Mary , it’s complete chaos A@E in England people waiting in ambulances over twelve hours outside. I too have experienced emergency department some older people are afraid that they are going to be admitted to hospital that’s why they react that way. Can’t get to see a doctor sometimes for over six weeks, it’s awful. I didn’t know it was bad in America seems to just how it is now . Look after yourselves.
The food looks lovely wish I could taste it . 🥰
Hello Nanny and Moose. I was said to know that Moose had to go to the hospital urgency. As I understood by what you told about the urgency waiting room it’s just like here. So many people suffering and waiting for five or six hours for a doctor. For me it’s so upsetting and sad… I thank God that till now I am ok, and all the little things that I had or have even Covid I could take care by my myself and my doctor at home. The health care hospitals or urgency are chaotic ,there are not enough doctors and nurses so at certain point make me fear. Not only Portugal but England, France etc have the same problem. Thanks God it’s all ok with Moose. I loved your bisque, easy to do and very good in a cold day as we have here. I Hope that Moose is going better. God bless you two. Love you.
March 31st ??????
That's outrageous 😳
Hope Moosie manages to work thru the system quickly. It is frustrating sometimes. Do they have a waiting list at your PC physician so if there is an opening/cancellation you can get in sooner?
I unfortunately have spent my fair share of time in the Emergency Room between my husbands health and my own. All the Hospital personnel I have meet have been kind and supportive. I know I couldn’t do their job. Sometimes I feel that they are as flustered as we are by the long waits and the lack of personnel.
Hello Nanny,
We are in our mid 70's...I'm almost afraid to say...we have been fortunate so far.
If you can believe ...raising 3 active boys in the country..falling out of trees, bicycle crashes and all the things kids do...no broken bones. I think we had 4 ER trips for stitches, X-rays etc. That's been a long time ago. The ER's were busy and the wait time could be awhile but nothing like it is today. The health care system has definitely changed. It is getting harder to get into family physicians in a timely manner so seems like people are being forced into ER's. We have so many Urgent Care facilities here but you almost have to have an appointment or be prepared to wait hours to get into one. My DIL is at one waiting as I write. It is rather scary to grow older and not know if we would get help quick enough in a life threatening emergency. It was a very positive way to wait as you did observing the different issues. I know In most instances everyone providing treatment is doing the best they can and the waiting is unfortunate. It is frustrating for them as well. I admire their desire to be in health care. It has to be a very stressful work to deal with pain and suffering day after day. Bless all those who help.
As you mentioned growing the watercress...it sounds much growing bean sprouts.
Your bisque looked delicious. You are quite the cook!
I hope Moosey is ok and will get some relief when you see the doctor.
God bless....J💕
Hi Nanny hoping Moosie trip to the ER has helped his pain with 5 hours sitting in a wheel chair and many other people all in pain it's very hard .... your Bisque looked delicious ... Best wishes for Moosie to get well soon ...and your skin is looking beautiful Thanks for the video 💝💖
Shrimp Bisque looks delicious! ER here is the same, long delays to be seen, at certain times. But Dr appointment takes only a few days. It's not that long ago, when my kids were little that the afternoon surgery's were for walk ins, no appointment needed! Doesn't happen now. I hope Moose feels some relief from the pain meds x
I know what you're saying. It tells you alot about people watching what they do. Pain is real. I think we all have it to some degree every day. Some minute to severe. I'm going to doctor tomorrow because I've let mine go until I figured out what it was. Ya just never know sometimes. Bless us all just like you say. 🙂
I’ve used urgent care twice. The longest I’ve had to wait was probably 30 minutes. The second time it was determined that I needed to go to the hospital and so they transported me and I guess when you arrive in an ambulance you get much faster service than walk-ins. I highly recommend urgent care unless you have a reoccurring issue that you know requires a hospital.
So sorry to hear that Moose is going through so much pain, and hopefully the specialist will be able to help him soon. Like every other mother I’ve been through the ER chaos many times and am now dealing with it occasionally while taking some of my elderly friends there. Presently it’s usually at least a 12 hour wait after check in before being attended to, and in the last case that was with a friend that was having chest pains!! We definitely have an overload on our healthcare and the hospitals are struggling with whatever resources they have available…..but very disturbing. You are so right about how difficult and frightening it can be when you are at the point where you realize that you must get to the ER and are all alone….Moose is so lucky to have you with him. On a brighter note….your bisque looked absolutely yummy and once again you had me salivating just watching you make it. Hugs to both of you.😘🤗
So sorry for the painful exhaustive wait before health care. Please continue follow up with those xrays. My elderly family member was told no fracture appeared on xray. Perhaps the fragility of age or unobserved hairline fx caused definite fracture the following week. The patient denied a fall, but couldn’t walk a week later. We called ambulance and our beloved was showing g a definite hip fracture only one week later. It’s possible that a hairline fx can broaden with turning over in bed. So please follow up if pain continues or if he can’t walk as his usual. These extended wait times are just poor health services. These places are reviewed by accreditors & need sanctions imposed for poor services. Patient endangerment may result due to delayed care or irate customers that get rough. Thus the need for security guards. God bless us all!❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing Nanny. Prayers sent your way for Moose. Your bisque looked delicious. From Connecticut.🥰
I do Love your EZ recipes!!! Keep em coming!
Nanny you always look so beautiful. I admire you and love your videos. ❤
No way I can ever get into see my doctor fast - that's why I need to leave her behind. I was in the emergency room in CO a week ago for breathing and stomach issues and the care was A+. No waiting, fast diagnosis. The ED doctor had to call my doctor and tell her to see me the next day! The medical system is broken.
It seems like every doctor including mine, my husbands and my elderly parents doctor take about a month to see for an appointment. Even our dogs vet!! I think they just keep taking new patients to pay off medical loans, etc. It’s not like the old days when your md had time allotted for working in their flu, etc. patients. The system doesn’t work well now. If you go into the hospital for a heart attack, the doctor on duty sees you, not your doctor who knows you and your history. Sad.
Our health care system is loaded here in Ontario, Canada, too! Covid and flu etc. has our hospitals totally working over capacity. Absolutely terrifying actually. So glad that Moose got seen. Our health care workers are angels and I wouldn't be able to do what they do. Blessings to you both. :)
Hi Mary Ellen. I am so sorry about moose ,pain is very debilitating! I know l have that 24 hours a day ,it nearly drives me off my head .and it is terrible that you cannot get in to a doctor ,when needed .it is like this in australia and it’s getting worse .l hope you get to the bottom of this soon .take care both of you .😘
I ended up in the ER with a kidney stone - my friend showed up for support. It was horrific. The police brought in a homeless drunk man who was shouting filthy words and he smelled horrible. We were placed in a hallway as I came in by ambulance. They put the man in a locked clear holding room and he urinated all over the room. I just wanted out of there, but like you was stuck there for 5 hours listening to this man. God bless our nurses - they were dealing with him too. Our health system really is broken - here in Indiana you have to wait weeks to get in to see a doctor also.
Walk in Clinics and even drug stores w nurse practioners
It is the same in Tulsa. When either of us needs to see the Doc for a sudden illness or due to acute symptoms it is a wait to see our primary docs. We often use Emergent Care connected to our physicians’ practice groups. It is also not unusual to be diverted to a physician’s assistant when the physician is booked in advance. Sitting in an Emergent Care setting is much the same here. Our grandson is a third year med student. I know he will be one of the caring patient and very competent physicians. We need more like him in the medical field. Sending healing prayers for Moosie and you too❣️
I am a retired RN. Health care is in free fall. Many factors. Sadly, I see it getting worse. I had to get a new doctor after mine retired. Nine months to get to meet him for the Medicare “well “ visit. Months to see any specialist. Several hours wait in urgent care. Days in the ER to get a bed because there are no rehab beds or dialysis centers to take care of those folks. I fear government assisted suicide like they have in Canada is coming. Especially for we older folks.
Good Sunday morning. It definitely takes a certain type of person to #1-deal with an angry/impatient public & #2-really care for others in times of need. We’re not all caretakers and I am very thankful for those who are. Your shrimp bisque looked so good! Have a great rest of your weekend!
Great Video! Hope Moose cells better soon!
I hope Moosie finds some relief from his pain. ❤❤❤❤
A lot of people don't go to a regular doctor they wait until their injury or illness is so bad that they can't stand it a minute longer and then they go to the emergency room that's why I'm emergency rooms are so crowded I try to avoid them at all cost
It's a night shade plant if it grew that much in two day.
I’m glad you two have each other ❤
So happy to see you this morning!. Beautiful day in Nebraska. Sunny and 37 degrees. Enjoyed your video. Yes, it takes special people to be working in health care. My journey with the "system" started in November. I was just telling a friend of the kindness I have felt going for my treatments. From the 1st day looking for the elevator and having a nice young nurse that was leaving for the day stop and insist on walking me to the elevator. I am amazed and I have to say that my attitude has improved and am trying to pass kindness on.
So happy Moose has no fractures and will be on the mend soon. Boy that bisque looks great!!! Stay well! Hugs ❤️
Nice weather for you!❤
So love your videos ♥️♥️♥️
Baie dankie love and blessings
Happy Sunday Nanny. So interesting to hear your observation and experience in the ER, it can certainly be exhausting. Hope Moosie can get his hip issue taken care of without too much more discomfort. You’re right about being alone and having to take care of health issues with no one to help. Very sad. Anyway glad you are both recovered from the experience and moving forward to the next step in getting to the bottom of his hip pain. God bless both of you in this endeavor, hope the answer comes soon. Your shrimp bisque looked so delicious and yummy! Thank you Nanny for sharing with us. God bless us all.🙏😊
♥️♥️
❤❤
👍🏼 Patricia
I hope Moosie is out of pain.
Thankful Moosie didn't have anything broken and will pray for relief, and that the system will move as quickly as possible to get him some relief. Yes the ERs are ridiculously full - God bless all the caregivers. You're right; certain people just have that touch. And different people can deal best with certain patients so it truly takes all kinds! Thanks for all your empathetic observations.
The soup looked terrific! And by the way, you look very elegant in that black sweater - I think that color is what makes your hair look so pearly white.
By the way, the movie was great - better than I expected - and being out with friends was very therapeutic. Hadn't done that in YEARS. Have a beautiful week - love and hugs and blessings to you and Moosie from West Texas!
So glad the day out with friends was so enjoyable for you, Candy.❤️
Your bisque looks delicious. Doing everything from scratch is overrated. Cooking using ingredients that are already made for convenience is a blessing. They actually taste best in my opinion. It's semi homemade! Cooking and preparing will keep someone in the kitchen Day and night. My opinion, not worth it. Would love to see your recipes. Especially semi homemade. Thank you for everything!.
Thanks, Karen..❤️
Nanny - relieved that all turned out ok at the emergency room and Moose will continue to be in my prayers. Your perceptions of the emergency room are so honest and it can be scary - as always you appreciate your lot and that is vital. Your meal looked yummy and you look great in the black with the silver and the fantastic black heart shaped ring. Thank you for mentioning us guys too lol = stay wonderful Nanny -JAS X
Hi Nanny, I think all emergency rooms are the same really busy especially in big cities. I have to look after myself I have no family near. It is easier to leave my husband home he doesn’t drive much anymore, or take an ambulance. You just have to be patient and wait your turn, it’s one place I wouldn’t want to work. Hugs Bea
I agree, Bea..❤️
What an eloquent dissertation of your visit to the ER. You look especially beautiful and very well rested.
Thank you, Sharyn..❤️
@Nanny Your narrative about your hospital visit reminds me of the time I fell and broke my wrist and also dislocated my shoulder. A double whammy! I called an ambulance because hubby was out-of-town. The ambulance team was so kind and helpful. I was triaged and placed in the hallway at the hospital because there were many people in cue. It was the ambulance staff who hung around and checked on me. They offered to give me a shot of something to ease my pain. I accepted their gracious assistance and was able to relax deeply, even dozing off, until I could get into the x-ray room and get help with my wrist/shoulder pain. Interesting that I was so relaxed that my shoulder slipped back into its socket while waiting and dozing off! I hear people complaining about ambulance fees, but my fee seemed reasonable and worth every cent because they were so professional and caring!😊👍
Yes, Esther…many times I have been amazed at the compassionate natures of the ambulance and paramedic transport personnel..❤️
Maybe instead of calling your viewers ladies when you talk to them, you could call us folks.
Good idea, CB…❤️
I worked my way through college at the local hospital, and sometimes wound up on emergency room duty. An interesting place, especially if you are into human behavior. Also have done my share of taking others to the emergency room, and in recent years a couple of visits myself. An excellent place for people watching. I once had to encourage and accompany a friend to the Mayo clinic. She was afraid to go. I explained to her that there would be some of the best people watching in the waiting room in the whole country. You never know who might be there. Anyway, your experience made me reminisce about days gone by. I love your seafood/shrimp bisque hack recipe using store bought soup base and embellishing with spicy shrimp, etc. Made me think of Mardi Gras, which is just around the corner. Today's the big game, but will just be tuning in for the halftime show (maybe) I'm hooked on masterpiece theater Miss Scarlet, season finale tonight. I've turned into my mother I guess. Take care and see you in the next video. MJ♥️💌
It seems emergency rooms are getting more and more crowded every day. Luckily my husband and I have not been to an emergency room in quite a few years. We are in our mid 70s. But my sister who is 87 has been quite often and has told me about her long waits. We by the way do not live in the same state. The Bisque looked very yummy. Makes me want to try it. Liked your the heart on the silver chain. Hope Moose is feeling better. Hugs and love to you both.❤Caroline
Yes , I was at a Er for 9 hrs a couple weeks ago by myself had the flu and was the sickest have been in years it was worse than when I had Covid a year prior got sent home with a few stomach meds because I was dehydrated got my blood pressure down but then a week later I was in and urgent care getting more stomach meds never have experience such a er visit like that before and I am 62 yrs old thank goodness feeling much better but a very horrible experience people had been setting in wheel chairs for 2 days waiting on a room .
Oh dear, RR…hope you are feeling much better..❤️
Nanny, you are so empathetic and compassionate. You are a gift to all who know you.
Thank you, Gail..❤️
Thank you, nanny , for sharing your observations! GOD bless nanny and moose!! ❤️👋❤️

I enjoyed this video. Hope moosie gets better soon! I just needed to say that when I'm having a bad day, like today, I turn to your light, uplifting videos! It puts me in a better mood. My problems are not important here but I wanted you to know that listening to you is like having an old friend or sister that cares. Thank you for being here! I'm so glad I found your channel! God bless you and your sweet family. I don't feel so alone after I listen to you!!🥰🥰
Thank you, Jennie…❤️
Glad you got through the emergency room and Moosie will see a specialist who can hopefully help!
I am so sorry that Moose had another event with his health. The ER is a very unpleasant experience. You are suffering or you would not be there. The wait is always an endurance test. You see people who your heart goes out to and others who you think should pull themselves together. Everyone reacts differently and it is a place to observe while you wait for hours. I will only go as a last resort. Consequently, I am trying not to show how much pain I am in. I know that other people are watching. Sometimes it is unbearable just to sit up and you try to think of a way to endure the wait. The wait to be seen by our own doctors is becoming longer. What do we do in the meantime? I did find that the urgent care will do a tele visit. But not until many hours later. However, at least you can wait in your own bed. Being totally alone when not feeling well is something that I find the hardest. It can be frightening at times. The medical profession is getting overwhelmed. I often feel like a number in a long line. I finally saw the special surgeon for my eyes. She was abrupt and uncaring. How could I possibly feel comfortable going into surgery with her? I don’t know how to find a surgeon who specializes in this particular kind of surgery. Then I found out that I need a certain medication that I cannot afford the co- pay for. I don’t know where to turn. I think that watercress needs to be soaking wet at all times. Please let your family and friends know that the Nova virus is going around. I came down with it after riding in the rideshare to and from the doctor. So it was either the office or the cars where I contacted it. Hand sanitizer is NOT effective in avoiding infection. Only lots of soap and water. It is the hardest on babies and the elderly. Happy Valentine’s Day Nanny and Moose. I hope that Moose gets some relief from the pain and you make it a good day. 💕💘💝Blessings to you both, love, Sharon
Hi Sharon…I am so sorry you can’t find relief from your constant pain…I can understand your concern with the eye surgeon’s demeanor…eye surgery is a delicate issue ..and feeling confident going into it is paramount! Sending hugs and a prayer…🙏❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose thank you Nanny. I should not write such negative comments, I apologize. In the middle of the night when I wrote, I am tired and things sometimes feel bleak. I hope that Moose is feeling better. I know that you will think of a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. 💕💘💝🌸
❤
Thank God in NJ we can see our doctor right away if needed Praying for Moosie to feel better 🙏❤️
Recipe looks good. Is that thyme or oregano or marjoram. Leaves look kind of big to be thyme.
I think it’s my thyme, Camille…although my oregano grows right next to it!!! 😳❤️
@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose new species of herb….thymagano.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU & MOOSE. Loved your shrimp bisque recipe. I’m definitely going to try it. Most every Valentine’s Day I make the traditional Lobster Bisque from scratch. But I like your recipe, without the spice! So glad Moose is alright! BTW, your eyes are looking beautiful. What is the make and color of your eyeshadow? 👍🏻💕💕💕
Thank you, Lana❤️
God bless our health care workers. I'm so with you. What a great idea to dress up a Shrimp Bisque. Love you variation. i'll have to try it.
I'm glad moose is going to have a follow-up of his hip. I pray all is will be okay it was so interesting hearing you talk about the waiting room. The last time my husband had to go to emergency he had to stay in there by himself because of the c going around. I want to tell you what I found out the other day I had my covid shot and come to find out they have waived cost of the shingle shot, my first dose cost me $155 the cheapest I seen was $180 so he's happy to see the those that Medicare they have included in no cost. So right now all I have is a sore arm and so thankful I got it done, have a wonderful day you and your sweet husband God bless you for all the good you do for so many people ❤️
Hello Mary Ellen....what a beautiful tribute to the kindness and the ongoing care that our medical staff gives daily. Yes, at some point in life we all may be on the receiving end of care in an E.R. I've also observed the care and compassion in an E.R. .... a nursing home or myself in the hospital and am so appreciative of our first responders and all the dedicated medical workers that daily show compassion and care for so many. Your shrimp bisque looked delicious! Thanks for the great recipe! (love from a nana in Pa...Charlotte)
God Bless you and your husband! Raising such a beautiful family, beautiful grandchildren and great-grand children. You are truly blessed. May you and yours have fabulous health for many, many years to come.
Loved your observations in the emergency room and so thankful for the ones that show kindness. people should think but for the Grace of God go I.......cant wait for spring....Love watching Addicted to gardening on facebook. Also love your white hair...mine is gray....my mom always said I wonder if I will ever get white hair like my sisters...she never did, so guess I wont either.
