It’s great to mix it up, your flowers 💐 are beautiful. Roxie is adorable and l agree that dogs bring so much joy and comfort to our lives. She might be a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but who cares, none of us are perfect. Enjoy your holiday, safe travels 🌺
Denise....I'm so glad you're going on vacation with your family. I think you'll have a great trip. Glad your CT scan was "uneventful." The Dr's here in the U.S. use that word a lot. Roxie is adorable and I know she brings you a lot of happiness. I hope Allan is feeling OK and enjoys the vacation. Please post a few photos when you get back. Have a safe trip and a wonderful vacation. 😘
Love your video. Enjoy your trip... Your pup is adorable. So happy that your test did not show anything more. Your looking good. Your plants are beautiful... Hello from Centeral Oregon.. 🙋♀️⚘️🦋😁
Great news on your scans! Roxie is precious, they ARE our babies! We have a longhaired chihuahua that's 13 years old. Just gave her her summer cut. They will grow back just as soft! Wish we lived closed, I'd love to pot-plant with you! Enjoy your vacation! 🛐⚓💜⚓🛐
I’m so glad your scan is stable! 👏👏👏 I was a CNA in a nursing home once. Your tailbone might be forming a pressure sore. There is internal damage before you can see skin changes. So, do you sit on a “doughnut?” It’s an inflatable ring, sold at medical supply stores and likely online, to sit on. It relieves the direct pressure on your tailbone when you sit. Even sitting on a cushion or pillow doesn’t relieve the pressure entirely. Have hubby examine that area closely, also. See if the skin is reddening at all. That would be the first external sign of a coming pressure sore. I hope you get relief!
Thank you so much for your advice, SSandy. We'll pick up a "doughnut" first thing tomorrow. That should make the trip more comfortable. And I'll get Allan to check out my butt. Happy Days!
@@travelsinmychair4140 Oh, yay! I sure hope it helps. If the area is actually dark pink to red, Allan will get to do a lower back massage on you, with some lotion. Do the area gently, outside of the reddened part. This will help blood flow to get to the affected area, but without putting direct pressure on it.
Love hearing about your life. You are a hoot. You make me smile and laugh. We have had a daughter and 2 grandsons dx with cancer. All are doing well...phew!!!l. Life is a journey. Love your doggie. We have an elderly mini poodle. I like his hair fluffy but I do give him a slight trim. Enjoy your trip. Blessings.
Hi Denise! I've been thinking about you and was excited to find you at 4:00 a.m.! I'm not a good sleeper at all. Ashe cat for some strange reason didn't sleep with us last night, so here I am! I wish you didn't have to endure any pain at all. You are such a sweetheart, and it makes me sad when you aren't having a good day. I know you have lots of people that are on team Denise! I'm rooting for you too! I'm so glad you have Roxie to entertain you. She is adorable! Our pets can be a comfort to us when we aren't feeling like ourselves. Along with Ashe, we have a tortoise that been with us for about 35 years. Shelly is somewhat of a celebrity in our neighborhood, especially when she wears her shell covers I made for her in yellow and red! (Just in case I get distracted when we're outside! )!!! I hope to "see" you again soon, but until then, enjoy the beautiful things and people that make you smile. Much love sent your way!!!
Nope. I made peace with that years ago. Live your life as well as you can and do what is comfortable for you. That's my motto. Always hard to say no, though.
I agree with you about the worth of a dog. Our little Pomeranian got me through a lot of emotional upheaval when my Mom was living with us during the last years of her life. I did the same as you ... stroked my dog's silky fur when I was laying in bed ... and it did relieve my stress. Roxy looks adorable even with her short haircut, but there is nothing better than that longer silky fur! What I wouldn't give to have a dog! Do you have a ROHO cushion for your wheelchair? My husband isn't in a wheelchair, but he has had surgery to remove his anus/rectum (due to cancer) , followed by two plastic surgeries to rebuild that area. His anatomy down there is totally reconstructed. This makes it extremely uncomfortable to sit for any amount of time. He was prescribed a ROHO cushion. He had to be "fitted" for it so it conforms to his body--so there are higher and lower points so that it doesn't cause pressure irritation. Since he always has some amount of pain, he recently also discovered something that helps a little which is a medical marijuana salve. A little salve applied to the area lessens the pain. He also has neuropathy in his feet, and the salve helps with that too. Anyway, so glad they didn't see anything on the CT scan on your tailbone ... whew! Have a great trip, Denise.
Thanks Ann. I have thought of a ROHO cushion-so expensive tho! A viewer suggested a "doughnut" like they use for hemorrhoids for our trip. I'll try that first and then proceed from there. Will you have another doggie in your future?
@@travelsinmychair4140 I don't know if its the same way in Canada, but in the U.S. I think some people are able to have ROHO cushions prescribed for them--so insurance covers the cost. Might be worth asking it your health care system covers something like that. I hope to have another dog some day--if I can convince my hubby. A few months after our dog died, we adopted two kittens. They have become sweet little family members that are easy for us since we can leave for the day or even overnight and not have to worry about them. BUT, affection is on THEIR terms. It isn't like having a little dog that wants to be near me every minute of the day. So maybe someday ....
Adorable puppy! Beautiful flowers! And not so bad news from the doctor. That’s good. Sorry about the pain.
Thanks Mary. I'm hoping the tailbone pain will behave for our holiday.
I should have included adorable kids!
Roxie you are absolutely gorgeous🐾💕🐾. So pleased to hear that you CT scan had good results. You garden is beautiful. Sending love from England 🏴
Thanks for watching. Roxie was a travel dog the past two weeks and she was a star. Feeling pretty good right now.
It’s great to mix it up, your flowers 💐 are beautiful. Roxie is adorable and l agree that dogs bring so much joy and comfort to our lives. She might be a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but who cares, none of us are perfect. Enjoy your holiday, safe travels 🌺
Thanks Susane. We're all bathed (some none not happy about it) and ready to go!
Your good vibes, the doggy's vibes and those of the family are a guarantee for a wonderful trip. Enjoy, ❤️🐞
Thanks Anne. We're all packed and ready to go!
So glad to see your beautiful life Denise. You live your life sweetheart and that is so good to behold! Everything will be as it should be xxxx
You are so right Alta.

Thanks Kathy. This cooler rainy weather has done wonders for the flowers. Me, not so much.

Thanks Kathleen. We are so ready to get a break from home. Roxie's first long road trip. Right now she's doing laps around the house. Crazy puppy.

@@majcherj1 thanks Sandy.
Hey Denise… safe travels! Love you too! Roxie and Heaven are both 10 lbs! I agree… they keep us going.
we're finally packed. We're limiting Roxie to only four toys and she's having a hard time picking her favorites. We're holding firm!
Hope you have a wonderful trip! Will be looking forward to news of your adventure!
Can't wait.
Love hearing about your life. You are a hoot. You make me smile and laugh.

Thanks Barbara. Roxie's hair is already growing-with silver tips. We don't have a clue what she's going to be when she grows up.

Great news and great doggie❤️
Thanks for watching. She is the most fun we've had for months. Puppies. Just the name makes you smile.
Your puppy looks like a schnauzer to me. She sure is cute.
It is great news from the doctor. Take care.
Hi Barb. She's only 1/4 Schnauzer, 1/4 Maltese and 1/2 Miniature Poodle. Schnauzer markings for sure. Weiner body is a mystery.
Hi Denise your a lovely lady. Stay strong 😇❤ love from Ireland ❤
thank you Caroline and thanks for watching

So lovely to hear from you Suzanne. I bet your tortoise is a hoot with its shell covers. Working on a video now-been away for two weeks. Feeling OK
Roxy is so cute. Short is good for summer. I am about to get my maltese really short for summer!
thanks Debi. Her hair is growing back perfectly and it's soft so I'm happy!
I’m glad you are not letting cancer take away enjoyment of life. I will pray for relief of your pain. Jesus bless you. ❤️
Nope. I made peace with that years ago. Live your life as well as you can and do what is comfortable for you. That's my motto. Always hard to say no, though.

Get yourself a firm donut to sit on!
Allan just got back with one. Sure hope it works on our trip. Thanks for the info.
@@travelsinmychair4140 YAYYY! I hope so too, safe travels!
