My wife has a brain deformity and was disabled in an accident 8 years ago. She has some things she just can't do. On bad days she is a prisoner in her own body and she needs my help. Other days she is pretty independent. I love her more everyday. In sickness and in health. We Well done Judd.
You and Judd both make wonderful spouses!
When I was 5, a cow aggressively mooed in my face and I have been TERRIFIED since.
It's so awesome to hear Judds perspective of being married to someone who is a chronic illness/pain warrior. I'm 29 and a chronic pain/illness warrior myself and I'm so scared I won't find that one special person to be the other half of me. That I may be too much to handle. It is just so comforting to hear from Judd on how he feels. I know God has a plan for me and my love life, I just sometimes fret over these things. So thank you Jaq and Judd for showing that, it really helped my anxiety.♡♡♡♡
Irony level:expert don't worry, God has a plan for everyone. I don't think God made us just to be single and depressed for the rest of our life. We all need that other half. Everything comes for a reason. Just be patient.
Judd and jaquie are a perfect match. I'm just sooooo happy that jaq found that special person.
I am so glad Judd's words helped you in some way (: I believe a lot in God's timing. Sometimes it is hard to just leave things in his hands as we want to know when these events will occur, but God is in control and that gives me a lot of peace.
Irony level:expert I felt this way for a long time. 3 years ago, i met a good man on the Internet. I know this because When he gave me his word it was proven when i was sick(he knew it before me) and he's always just there when i need him. You'll find him no matter the age.
Im a chronic pain/illness warrior as well and im 29 too. Like Jacquie my channel is about my illness i fight everyday, but its also about me and my service dog, my family, and things i do everyday.
I feel that way too, I'm 32 and as soon as I tell them about my chronic respiratory failure they never talk to me again. :(
Judd reminds me of a 70's cop with that stache (that bit of chest hair showing doesn't help). All he needs is you an Harlow as his crime-fighting side kicks. 😂
Thats so funny
Kya- Ken! 😂😂😂
I would watch this! 😂
What is with the Tash?
I just wanted to comment and say that your channel is really uplifting for me and I'm so glad that I came across it. One of your videos was recently recommended in a chronic illness group I'm in and I'm super thankful for that. I have EDS, POTS, GP, and a few other things (plus my husband is in the military, so I have to deal with a lot of my health stuff by myself when he's working too), so I relate to a lot of what you talk about and your tips have helped a lot. From little things like the headband-scrunchy thing that keeps your hair back (because really, who has the energy to re-style it if it gets wet? I got one of those and it's a lifesaver) to bigger things like getting durable medical equipment approved and set up in the house (working on a shower chair right now, so the transfer bench video was awesome), I really appreciate you putting these vlogs together because they have helped me a lot. So yeah, thanks so much!
Yay! So happy you can take something positive away from our story (:
Judd, with his checkered shirt 1/2 unbuttoned and mustache looks like he should be in the Walking Dead.
Lol he really does!
He does lol
Praise the Lord that he had brought Jaquie and Judd together. God had a very good plan!!
wuz good to hear Judd's take on these issues. a supportive and non judgmental spouse is such a boon. count the blessings and keep moving ahead. :)
Your so strong. I'm so sorry that things are harder lately
I was worried about you after that reaction to the antibiotic. I'm so glad you are a feeling a bit better. Thanks for taking me on your adventure!
Thank you for joining us :)
I Told Paul he had to share, but Judd you win the award for most supportive Chronic Illness husband award🏆. Except for the mushrooms Dinner looked tasty! That would be soo fun if you had some kind of animal besides Hippo! I didn't say what was going on (I think) But MY MOM DOESNOT HAVE CANCER!👏🙌🍾🙏
Oh I am so relieved for you, what a huge blessing!
Chronically Jaquie THANKYOU, it really is! Even more of a blessing that we found out yesterday because the director of the cancer place did the biopsy did it so she new it was just fluid! 😊❤️
Yay!!! So glad!!
Kelsey McGuire Thank You Kelsey means so much!❤️
Yay! My grandmother had cancer many years ago, and this year she was diagnosed again. It is terminal, but she's expected to live plenty longer. I thank the Lord for that blessing!
My husband LOVES the " Judd Stash" and says its the NEW no shave november look and hes gonna rock it also. I think he really appreciates judd being in some of the vlogs and giving his 2 cents because he can really relate and we dont have many people we can relate to being a little family whos youngish. My fav time is cooking with Jaq cuz thats my jam!
Jacquie I have to tell you that you just gave me so much inspiration. I have been up all night with another night of insomnia and was checking out your service dog gear video and by chance started watching more of your videos and wow we have so much in common. I was feeling so low and you gave me inspiration. thank you so much for your story and for videoing it all to share. makes me not so alone. I wish I had some extra spoons to send you. keep fighting my warrior friend xoxo
I really love it how you and judd are thankful it’s just so inlighting to me
I have been waiting all day. Thank you for always adding a little something to my day.
We love you Judd and how amazing you are! Thanks for the info about Spoon Theory. I love the shorts Judd! Sounds you both had a great adventure. I loved seeing Harlow interacting at the dog park.
This was a great episode! I loved watching your and har and judd having some quality time :)
Hi Jaquie, just wanted to say that I loved this vlog so much. Hearing from Judd perspective and seing you smile and go outside put a smile on my face through the whole video. Prayers from France :-)
Hearing Judd's perspective on you and how he helps you when you need it is really beautiful. It's good to be independent but it's also good to have that awesome support there to help~ You two are super awesome! Also is Judd always kinda shy around the camera? He doesn't seem too open around the camera but seems like he's opening up and getting used to it slowly.
Keep on fighting strong!! You're such a brave woman!
Clearly you are very creative and talented, such a blessing. Thanks Judd for sharing, that was truly nice of you and very loving to Jacquie. Glad you got out. Harlow is like our dog about baths, will play in her pool and dive into it, but not the bath. Think we will try to clicker train that. Safe trip Judd and hope you have a good night Jacquie! Blessings.
So nice to hear from Judd! I'm getting married in June and I've always worried about how my fiancé will be able to deal with the stress, and I use spoon theory for myself and never really thought of applying it to my partner as well. You're so sweet to sacrifice some of your spoons for Jaquie! Love it!
Love to see the support system you have with Judd, Harlow and family/friends. Thank you so much for sharing the spoon theory! I'd NEVER heard of it but it's a GREAT way to look at chronic illness but I think it applies for me in other ways! Great tool!
Oh I am thrilled I was able to show you the spoon theory. Some chronic illness warriors call themselves Spoonies (: It helped me explain things to family members
This was such a great video, it made me smile lots and showed what a loving family you are. Tell your mom hi and I hope she’s loving her new place
I've been having a rough weeks but I laughed a lot watching you and judd and harlow, thanks all
When you give Harlow a bath again try filling a few 5 gallon buckets with water and let the water sit in the sun a few hours to warm up, she may not like getting wet with the cold water coming right out of the hose it can be a bit cold. So try using warm water and a large cup of some kind to poor the water over her body. She might enjoy it more I have 2 great danes when we give them a bath they like having warm water more then the cold right from the hose, hope this helps.
Thank you for all you do to help others understand medical issues. I found out today that on the 24th I will be getting a port. This will save me and the nurses at the infusion center and ER hours of digging at my poor arms looking for a non calloused vein. You talked about vancomycin causing itching, I have had the same experience.
I am literally on a path right now into the medical field because of you Jaquie. You are such an inspiration, and I love you. I want to be able to cure these types of things. And not just the "small" things like infections, but the bigger things like POTS.
I really admire your strength... and thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure! It gives me hope 😊
It's great to see that Judds there for you if your need him. It's lovely to see that you have got a plan. The times I've had MRSA Ive had to be in isolation in hospital for weeks. I was on vencamiasine, One of the side affects of that particular antibiotic is that it can make you itchy all over. I scratched myself red raw.i didn't get much relief from Benadryl so I ended up having to wear scratch mittens. Hope you're not feeling as stressed out now. I hate how much of my days are taken up on the phone to my varying different specialist. Sometimes all of us chronic warriors need to take a break from all of our medical stuff.Hope Judd enjoys his time with the family.Take care sweet 🇬🇧💜🐶🙏🏼
So glad that you got the chance to do something not medical related. I know how it feels to be pretty much constantly having to focus on medical related stuff but its important to show that its not all about that. Hope you feel better soon Jaquie. Hugs from Scotland.
I’m so glad you got some time to put the medical to one side. And that there’s a good plan in place for antibiotics x Also, I’ve been using the spoon theory to help explain the impact my mental illness and autism have, to both my family and my medical professionals. It’s really helped 😊
You won the lottery with Judd. Blessings to all of you💗
SO glad you were feeling a bit better yesterday. Happy that you got to go on a new adventure with Judd and Harlow. How did your photos turn out? Loved Harlow's zoomies after her bath. Last night was a painsomnia one for me so I'm going to rest on my new adjustable bed tor a bit. Hope today goes well for you!
I am in my adjustable bed right now lol! I think I got one or two okayish shots
Whoa! Judd's shorts, are, interesting! Lol. It was nice to hear from Judd. My husband tries to understand and does an awesome job at helping me and supporting me. I'm waiting on a court date for disability and am not working, so he does get frustrated with the tight $ situation and that can cause some tension. But he has NEVER let me down. He also has a lot of undiagnosed joint pain, stomach troubles, and has had a heart attack and he's only 36, so it's not always practical for him to focus on me alone. But he still gets a gold star 🌟and the Husband of the Year Award🏆!! I'm glad your Dr is building a treatment plan for you. Keep on keeping on girl!
That recipe looks really good! I’ll have to try it, thanks for the share.
I love cows too and agree about the goats . So glad you keep a positive attitude. Such a role model to us.
Glad you will be getting your antibiotic through an IV and a nurse there to make sure you are doing fine. Always glad to see Judd and the things he does behind you. LOL Harlow was a little stubborn about her bath but it was comical to see, and then after her bath running around. All you can do is Keep Moving Forward through your illnesses. :)
I notice that laughter makes you feel better.
You definitely looked like you felt better when you got back home. So glad you were able to spend some time doing what you enjoyed rather than focusing on medical stuff. It's so important to treat yourself every once in a while - especially when you are experiencing rough times. Whether it's buying yourself a little gift or going on a mini adventure like you did, it is a natural antidepressant. I've had some rough times recently, too, with my depression/stress/GI issues (I have acute gastritis and diverticulitis; I also have chronic IBS-M and Celiac disease) and found that watching my favorite movies and listening to good music helped me through the negative thoughts. Fortunately, I'm doing much better due to the right medication! :0)
So glad you are doing better! And yes, I got exactly what I needed yesterday with that little adventure (:
Harlow's such a good dog! Glad you had a good day :)
I always forget Jacquie is so young, love your vlogs, learning lots about chronic health and how some of your illnesses are visibly hidden
I made that recipe a week or 2 ago. We had to omit the dry onion soup mix because the packets ended up not being sealed inside the box. But I really enjoyed it! Glad the antibiotics seem to be mostly sorted out.
always keep moving forward.! 💖
I love your jacket (or long sleeved shirt) and your entire outfit when you were out were so pretty! :)
Thanks! It is my favorite cardigan (:
Judd, your service dog Harlow, your family, and your fans on UA-cam cares about you. You have been a real trooper through all this and I wish you the best luck ever to defeat this curse. We are praying for you Jaquie.
So sorry that you had such a bad night sweetie. Hoping that Thursday was kinder to you xxxxxx
Never been this early. Lol but love your videos. Your inspiration and I tell everyone about your channel.
So scary seeing your bad reaction on yesterday's vlog, you could see Harlow still keeping an eye on you afterwards. Glad you've got a new plan in place for the antibiotics. Judd you're rocking that moustache!
Lighting a candle for u!!!
Jaquie I just finished watching your "All About My Autism" and now this one. I need to tell you what your video did for me. Thank You !!! You are infectiously happy and optimistic facing the challenges you have had bestowed upon you. YOU are so awesome. Your video answered many questions I have about my ASD diagnosis I have struggled with for 8 months. It took me forever to garner the courage to search for a therapist. I chickened out on calling so sent a comment through a website. Disappointment #1 rejection email but had referrals
Disappointment #2 called referrals and made an appointment. Got called back to tell me go elsewhere.
Success #1 I watched Jaquie video "All About My Autism" Your video has answered many of the questions I needed help with.
Your courage is awesome. I pray for you having to face so many challenges while you help others. Thank You & Hug'sssss
It can be intimidating to pursue a new diagnosis, and there is a lot of stigma surrounding ASD. I am SO happy my video was able to help you!
You and any other young person with an Autism diagnosis are fortunate to know the why's of your behavior. I was born in 1948 and lived a lifetime of never knowing why. But, knowing I was different and living daily with the results of my life. My first diagnosis was for face blindness. In my life, I always tried to keep a positive outlook and enjoy the journey, no matter the challenges. Again, thank you.
I love watching you cook ❤️
You are a great guy. I love your video's. Keep going forward. Prayers for you guys.
Hatts off!! to this husband true love is still ALIVE friends.
I've never heard of the spoon theory and I've always struggle to explain to my friends how I can't always go out or to the mall, but thanks to you guys I finally have some explanation that seems easy to understand.
I find it is a great tool to help others understand! (:
Please be extra vigilant with the iv vanko, very strong. You wont be on long so that is good. I pray this works for you. You are so on with everything. I think that comes with being a warrior. God Bless you Jaquie.
+Jo Jo Web yes only 2 weeks and a nurse will be here the first 2 days, longer if I request it. (:
His explanation makes a ton of sense. My mind usually goes 20x faster than possible for my body. It's the hardest part for me. I'm a go go go personality
The burgandy sweater looks nice on you. Its a nice change from all the he pink! Lol love watching your family. I hope the antibiotics work well for you and quick!!
It is my favorite cardigan! (:
I just love how dogs act after their baths!
From a nursing perspective (having been a caretaker for 30+ yrs), you want the patient to do as much as possible 4 themselves, to maintain independence. Its no different than a husband & wife team where one is chronically ill. You do an awesome job of helping Jaquie maintain that independence. Its been a few weeks since ive watched any vids...your weight loss looks good.
I love your videos,Thank you for posting!!!😋😋😋
Your a good man and husband Judd.I am a chronic pain and mult. illnesses. The only place I get to have any adventures is to my doctors appointments. Sorry don't mean too sound like a downer. Just not feeling well. Sorry for my downer mood. I hope and pray you get better with your infections. Prayers that Judd comes home safe and sound. Hugs. Much love too y'all🐶🐾🙏🙏💕💕💞💞💜🙏🇺🇸🌹💐🐊🙏🙏💜💕🙏
Oh what a beautiful video! 😀 i laughed so much. :)
It made me smile when Judd talked about lending you his spoons, it just made me feel like he deeply and honestly cares for you. I don't know, just the terminology made me happy
I like it when he says "spoons" too, the whole family does actually. They ask me "are you low on spoons?" (:
Chronically Jaquie Oh hi! That's so sweet and caring! I hope you're having a good day today x
Jaquie you always have the cutest headbands! Where do you get them from?!?
Super cute! Perfect service dog... Until it's bathtime. My wife's comfortable animal is a toy poodle. We pay a groomer because he is such a bath sissy. 9.5lbs of sissy can resist pretty good!
mini moos!! love that word for baby cows haha it's adorable
As someone with chronic mental disabilities and a few physical ones to but mines more mental its nice to hear a husband's point of few. This makes me think to ask my husband how it is to have a spouse with disabilities.
So happy you are feeling better much more happy no more bad stuff more good stuff judd is such a great husband to you and he takes great care of you I hope I find one someday and Harlow is too adorable love her silly and her smile 😊😍😍😍😍😍😍
I wanna hear more stories of you guys when you were younger so sweet
We were in Tampa yesterday(to fly home to COLD Michigan😨😨), and went to see the manatees☺☺ I did not realize how HUGE they really are!! I hope the iv antibiotics will work better for you!!
Do you also have a staph infection? My oldest one had a staph infection of the bone when he was four following a major crush injury to his leg. He by gods grace kept his leg and his life. Prayers for you I know it can be very discouraging for each set back, but I'm glad you have such a good positive attitude.
Mini moos......so cute. Love cows and mini moos. I seen not to long ago that there is exactly miniature cows. They are sooooo cute.
I haven't finished the video but the thumbnail of Judd fake biting you with the title "How I support my chron Ill Wife" Is amazing and worth a laugh
Haha I thought it would be funny ;D
Digging the stache 👌
I agree with you; sometimes you just need to do fun stuff and get your mind off the medical stuff.
Your husband and doctors sound very supportive.
My dog is the same way; very active!
Maybe you should put turmeric in the stroganoff. Yellow is prettier than grey-brown.
I'm glad to see you shutting off the medical stuff. Judd, you may want to rethink those floral short shorts. If anyone in the Sheriff's department saw that, I would worry for you! 😜😅
I love your headbands Jaquie! May I ask where you got them from? Also,I hope you feel better
I think ICING or Claires but I am not sure
Hope you and Mary both defeat your bacteria! And it's awesome you were able to have some quiet time in the country with your husband!
I'm praying for a love like this! My ex gave up and quit in the doctors office as I was receiving my diagnosis....
Thankfully there are men like you!
I'm the same I can't eat it most of the time... yet I love to cook!
That itching you felt with your IV Vancomycin use is called Red Man Syndrome. It often causes your entire face to turn beet red and become hot and tingly. As you found out, the reaction which is not an allergy can be headed off at the pass with premedication with IV Benadryl. It can also be eliminated by slowing the drip rate. For some silly reason, doctors often want a fast administration of the IV, which isn't really necessary. I got mine over four hours after the sensitivity was noticed the first time. I think the IV Vanc is going to kick your toe's butt and have you back on the path soon. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Yes someone else mentioned that too but thankfully it was not too bad at all
RIP Jackie❤ I miss you so much!
I'm on vancomycin too! Have been for the past month for C. Diff. These resistant bacteria are so frustrating! I'm on my second round and still don't feel like myself. I really hope the vanco works for you! It'll be one less thing to deal with!
Kathy Nicklas that's scary. get well soon!
Oh gosh, I hope you get back to feeling better soon!
I think the 1 perk of having a chronic illness is being able to create a new vocabulary🤣
I make up new words all the time because half the time I forget common words🤔
Thanks for sharing us the good and the worse of ur adventurous day.
Thanks for sharing love you and your videos
Harlow is so funny. She is like a big baby having Judd carry her outside lol
you were the first person i thought of when i heard the news of a serial killer in tampa... be careful and stay safe xx
It's crazy :/ But not directly in our area. Hopefully it will be over soon
You should come visit South GA. We have gopher turtles (they've dug a duplex in the pines ☺) & box turtles on our land and snapping turtles in the pond. Cows next door & I have a Neri for Harlow to play with 😀
When I had cellulitis on my leg, I was on IV antibiotics because they weren't sure if it was MRSA. Vancouver is a good antibiotic. I was on that. Good luck. I had a home health nurse when I had this procedure. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good to know you also did home health! So nice when we can do things (safely) at home, and not the hospital.
i think u mean vancomycin lol
Melanie McAulay
I'm allergic to vancomycin and can't really say it with my aphasia I get with my dysautonomia, I like Vancouver much better! 😂 I can imagine the nurses now "Any allergies?" "Almonds, life, sulfa, cillans and Vancouver" 😂😂 bad thing is they would probably not even be phased by it coming out of my mouth 😂
Judd your amazing guy love watching yall. I no it's hard at times cuz I take care of my husband but he is worse off in a way then jac- and it's hard but I love him like you love yours
Love the thumbnail! XD
Hey Jaquie! I'm so glad you're feeling better :) Sending tons of love from Portugal! ♥
PS: Am I the only one who thinks it's really cute when Judd bites her head? :P
Lol he has done it as long as I can remember
4:55 I heard about the Spoon Theory from someone in the Virtual Ability group in Second Life.
Mary from the Frey life talked about the antibiotic vanko..something.. the other day in a vlog! She said that once she had a side effect called "red man syndrome" and her scalp itched like crazy! So thats probably what you got! And apparantly its a very common reaction to that antibiotic :) i hope everything goes well and that you can kick that mrsa for good 😁 i love your vlogs all the way from sweden!
I'm sorry your going through this jaq! This too will pass!
I am chronically ill and cooking makes me so happy even when I can't do the rest of the housework. I can make sure my fiancee is well fed.
Thumbnail is awesome
Haha my dog loves water but hates baths too... Do you wash Harlow’s toys? If you do, how do you do it? Thanks for the dedication to the vlogs!
You can actually train goats. It’s a little bit harder than dogs but it’s doable, especially if you get them as a baby. I’ve lived on a farm all my life, we have goats.
Oh my gosh! Can you potty train them?
Thank you for the Great video
