    Hello Sarah, your face looks so Rosy and healthy. You are in my prayers. Yes eat drink and be Merry always. I smiled when you said Kosher, I’m from New York originally and half Jewish so I forgot that there were also Jewish people in Canada😊
    You have officially got me hooked on the babysitters club series. I finished the first one and I was really impressed with the maturity and the 80s vibe.
    Sending you healing aloha from Hawaii.

    You don't ever need to be sorry for being emotional. You have a reason to be and you are showing how amazing it is to be a donor. And seeing you get through this journey has been amazing. I wish I could give you a big hug because you are so amazing. I'm glad to see a new video from you and I hope you have a good weekend.

    As someone who's been on blood thinners since their early 20's, and will be on for life, it isn't so bad once swapped over to oral. Lovnox shots are not fun. Hopefully, it helps! I'm glad they caught it early. My first was not caught until I ended up in emergency and then a lengthy hospital stay. I am glad you're home again, hopefully for good, and I hope the medication changes help.

    You are just simply amazing! I hope I carry part of you with me always. I have NASH a form of cirrhosis, it’s caused so much trouble, a 100 things. If I can be like you just a little, I know I can make It. Fractured hips, hip replacement, 6 fractured vertebrae , some glued together, some not. Merry go round of MRIs, Endoscopies, colonoscopies and so on. A pill for this, aspirin to stop blood clots, ulcers from aspirin. I bled out twice and STOP. You have gone through so much. Tomorrow I’m going to wake up and walk no matter what. I’m sorry you had to go through this but you have taught me so much. We are hyper and want it to happen right now. Let’s slow down and see how February works. Read, relax and I’m praying so much for you. I’m not afraid, they gave me3-5 years and I’m in my 12th year. kidneys are holing up🌺🌸🌺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I believe in you

    @amyandrews5222 Месяц назад

    Hey Sarah! So great seeing your face and the book in your hand! Pleased you got on top of the nausea and I hope everything is onwards and upwards from now on. If I could just add, as an ex ICU nurse, something re filling out your card or whatever to be a donor. Please also *talk to and tell your family your desire to be an organ donor*. I dont know how it works in Canada but in Australia, family will always be asked permission even if there is a donor card/permission on file and if they haven't specifically spoken with their loved one about their donor wishes (even if there's a card/permission somewhere ) they will, more often than not, decline permission. Not because they're terrible people but because all they're trying to do in that horrible situation is what their loved one would want them to do and if they haven't talked about it directly they often feel they don't really know those wishes...
    And so many people don't realise that. Because, the thing is, that family is already pretty traumatised, so the medial team aren't going to traumatise them any further by going against their wishes at what is the very worst time in their life.
    So please please, talk to your people about your wishes to be an organ donor so god forbid, should that time come, everyone knows what you want.
    Take care lovely lady and happy reading xxx

    So glad you are feeling better and that they have adjusted your meds. Please do not apologise for tears, you have been through a lot and your are still dealing with a lot. Maybe ask the next Dr who does the biopsy to chat with you during the procedure, also if he presses too hard on your neck then tell him. The Dr's need to be told these things, not just for you but others as well.
    Hope the audio book improves. What a delightful pressie.
    Have been on the donor list since I was in my 20s.

    I'm glad that you are feeling better. Nurses are the best. I saw some of my nurses from my orthopedic team when I went into physical therapy this morning. They were so sweet to me when they heard how severe my pain was. They told me if I needed them to call my doctor they would do that for me. My nurses on my congenital heart clinic are amazing. They are family to me since I've known them for my entire life.

So glad they figured out the nausea issue, that had to be awful! Hopefully you have some kitty nurses with good bedside manners to ease your recuperation!
    Love the Australian book covers and that bag! They look vintage-ish.I had no idea that Australia and New Zealand had their own lines. Super cool.
    oh -- and Happy 1 month anniversary!

    Oh Sarah, you are such a strong lady. You’ve been through so much in the last few years and just a fraction of what you’ve tackled would have broken a lot of people. But you’re still fighting and determined to live a full life. I’m so honoured to know you, even if it’s just through a screen. And don’t apologise for your emotions- remember a couple of months after I got my first premmie home and all the health visits and appts had calmed down a bit, it was in that quieter time that the weight of what we had been through hit me, and the shear gratitude that my baby had fought and lived. I was an emotional mess for a bit and that’s so out of character for me. It’s just part of the process I think. Take care my lovely, wishing you healing xx

    That Outback Nurse cover is amazing! I hope you can get other book from the series, they all look stunning! It got me thinking, and I am sorry if that is not the question to put here in comments, but is there any way one could send you a postcard for Christmas? A PO box or something like that? If you're comfortable with it, of course. You really enjoyed postcards in your other video, and I would love to send you one, if you're OK with it.
    And happy Anniversary!

Please get med portfolio reviews periodically from the pharmacist you trust the most, of ALL of your meds, even if you're not buying them all from them. They can catch interaction issues quickly before there's a problem. I'm so glad to see your energy levels up! You're doing great!!

    Teaching hospitals are amazing, but when I had my cancer surgery the said do you mind if these students come in, I said no and in walks about 50 students and they'll needed to look at my vagina and stomach to see how things were going. Also when I had internal radiation I was viewed by so many. But they learned a lot.

But one of the student doctors got sick ehrn they were removed, he just cold not fathom how 8 feet of tubing came out on each side. Plus he hated the fact that it was done without any pain meds. It really did not hurt , it just felt odd.
