Is this when Derec broke his leg? Wow, I don't blame you being so frustrated. I'm proud of you for making it happen, though. The VA in Fl is taking care of my brother. I can't wait to see you two in Quartzsite this year. Hugs to Gunnar and sweet Bella. 🐕🐶😊❤
I’m moved by your pain, so I seat here and intercede. I’m well aware that is probably passed but care takers know something most will never know. It’s one of the most selfless, loneliest road - one could ever travel. Humanly speaking nearly impossible. ❤️🙏
@@VanLifeVoyages my wife is being 21 years quadriplegic and I couldn’t say that there’s no beauty in it. ( of course there is) Nevertheless I’m not trying to convince myself that I will rather have her quadriplegic than normal. It is till death do us apart because that’s the vows I made before God and I’m going all the way. There’s great rewards- my kids alone are worth it plus some. I’m a men- not a nurturer by design, so though I don’t understand a woman’s way of thinking- I do appreciate it and I’m extremely thankful for it. I’m gullible and I don’t do the mental strong thing, I did try it in the pass but now respectfully I much rather rely on Christ. He gives me the peace that surpasses all understanding and I’m not ashamed to proclaim it because I just couldn’t do it without Him. To Him I owe my all. Thank you for the videos : they are valuable. Much to learn from them. Keep them coming.
I’m so annoyed right now I’m almost at a loss for the right words! I can’t imagine how frustrating that had to be Tanya - well I can, but Omgosh!! This situation is one of the reasons I spent a month with the convoy! This Emergency Powers Act at the federal level has gone too far! There is no reason this mandate should still even be in place at a state or federal level. I agree with you on protocol and being tested is fine -however makes no sense why the government issued test wasn’t acceptable. And why you had to jump through hoops to get back in after you left- so you could be emotional support for your husband. I agree they should have given you a heads up when he was admitted. So many people still don’t believe there are mandates in place just because their individual state may have lifted it. This is a powerful video. I’m so proud of you for posting this. Derec I’m so glad your doing ok now. Sorry I didn’t know about your injury. Sry it took me this long to see this video. I’m going to share it.
This last month, really has been tough! I am so happy that things are changing especially with the Supreme Court's ruling on the mask mandate. Our State & Federal leaders however want to keep these stupid rules in place & keep their power. We must stand up for our rights 🇺🇲
Oh Tanya, sorry you had to go through all that to be able to get in to see Derec. Glad you were able to get the test and finally make it in to see him. Derec looks snappy in his new hairdo! Happy Anniversary to Tanya and Derec.
Tanya, my heart goes out to you. You are his wife, not his 3rd cousin twice removed. It is important for you to be with him. The “bureaucracy” should have informed you. Simple-bureaucratic nightmares don’t do simple.
The VA here in Tucson is requiring the same old school protocols. It seems ridiculous at this point in the Pandemic 😷 The swab looked uncomfortable 😳. Boy what a hassle getting inside! Glad you finally made it! Happy Anniversary you guys!
So sorry for you:(. Sometimes the timing of hospital-vacations are just off...I've spent an anniversary, a Thanksgiving and a Christmas in the hospital getting a new heart...it really can suck, but the nurses made it better by letting us use an open conference room to be together and eat and visit. They even let my family decorate some.
@@VanLifeVoyages I would think, having more experience with having to work holidays that it becomes part of the job and though annoying, not so distressing, but what do i know lol...being in there away from loved ones, in pain, scared and wondering if you are going to get through this...for me, a bit more distressing....but everyone's got their trials. Anniversaries are especially memorable. Glad you could be there for him :)
I'm so sorry you two had to go through all of that. I just wanted to reach into your video Tanya and hug you. I hope you're both doing well at this time. My deceased husband and myself have had negative experiences with the VA at times. It can be beyond frustrating. These days, I refuse to go there for any kind of medical treatment. Fortunately with the medical insurance that I have now, I can do that. I'm sorry I have missed a lot of your videos. I had to work so much overtime because no one wanted to return to work. Then I became ill with a kidney infection and COVID. I'm now going to try to get back to work but not as much as I was doing. I'll try to catch up on your videos. Take care both of you. You're both in my thoughts and prayers. ❤🙏🏻❤
So sorry that you have to go through all that that's ridiculous.. wow Derric is really close to me I didn't realize he was in the hospital so close to me ..I live about 20 minutes away .. let me know if I could do anything to help you guys since I'm close.. Thats a long drive for u Tanya. hope he recovers quickly ..how long does he have to be in there?
Wow that's suck Tanya! I had to call Derec so that he can tell his nurse to enter my name into the system even after I showed them my vaccination card. And 10 minutes later and sign this and sign that, they make me wear their kind of mask 😷 before they let me in!🤷🤦 Buracratcy at its best!😡

I am so sorry to see you so sad. And I want to tell you that you have the prettiest Blue eyes ever. Give him my love and Prayers. Be safe.
Keep positive and know you are loved❣️
So sorry, Tanya ❤❤ Happy Anniversary
I'm sorry they wouldn't let you be together. But Happy Anniversary to you both ❤❤
Wow sweetheart sorry you had to go through all that. Thank God you pulled a negative. 💕🦋💜
OMG what a fiasco. Hopefully it over soon. Prayers for you and Derek Tanya. Sorry I couldn't make it while it was live. Love you two.
Man Tanya, that really sucked. I would also find out who is the head of Infection Control and send them an email!!! Nice haircut Derec!!!

It's a wonderful thing. ❤

What a nightmare! I'm glad you finally got in. I would have asked for a wheelchair escort.

Just want to hug you! All of the pain makes it difficult to process the stress brought on by all of this. Stay strong.
Tanya, my heart goes out to you. You are his wife, not his 3rd cousin twice removed. It is important for you to be with him. The “bureaucracy” should have informed you. Simple-bureaucratic nightmares don’t do simple.
So sorry this is happening to you.
I'm so sorry that y'all are having to go through this. Sending virtual hugs and healing vibes all the way from Tennessee!

I am a RN and have also been working during holidays so I get it from both sides. It just sucks period when you can't be with a loved one! ~Tanya

Sorry u had to go through so much to visit Derec they should have made it more clear about the test 😢❤️🙏👍
Yep
@@VanLifeVoyages Ur very welcome 👍❤️🙏

I am so sorry Tanya, you had to deal with everything. I didn't know the federal was different than State mandates. Prayers for both of you. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Sending Hugs 🤗 🤗🤗 if you like Hugs!
Thanks for the hugs, they are very needed

Rewatching. Why? Because I can.
You are so awesome Becky! We love you!
Maybe you need one of those walker chairs. Then you can sit Lon the seat if you ever have the need.
You are right Marianne. I used to use one a lot but have been pretty stable so didn't bring it this trip. Lesson learned! ~Tanya
It’s to bad they waited until you needed to come back
She was sooooo mad! 😁
What a bunch of BS you had to go through! Unreal.
Yes it was! They had crazy rules for sure!
Yikes! Occasionally, life sucks. Hang in there!
Wow that's suck Tanya! I had to call Derec so that he can tell his nurse to enter my name into the system even after I showed them my vaccination card. And 10 minutes later and sign this and sign that, they make me wear their kind of mask 😷 before they let me in!🤷🤦 Buracratcy at its best!😡
Ridiculous
I’m guess you’re in California?
Yep. But in all fairness, California dropped all of the BS. This was a VA wide issue. Probably at the direction of the White House. Who knows ...
Please consider trigger warnings, This entire video was nothing but you know. People are tired of it.
👍...this is our true experience & this just happened NOW...2 years into it. The VA is late to the party...lol Thanks for the comment ♥️
@@VanLifeVoyages I understand...but real life has nothing to do with trigger warnings. I hope everyone is well soon.
