During Covid, I lost track of someone I knew and often saw walking through our neighbourhood where we often stopped for a chat. Having not seen him for awhile, I e-mailed him to see how things were going. His partner emailed back to tell me Malcolm had passed away after discovering he had an aggressive form of brain cancer. Malcolm was such an upbeat person, always positive and I was so sad to receive this news. His partner suggested I go sit on the bench Malcolm had dedicated to his life on this earth, I told him I would go visit the bench. I smiled when I saw the plaque on the bench. It read “I had a great life, goodbye” This was Malcolm in a single sentence, grateful for the life he lived. Thank you Nicole for embracing and accepting all life has to give, both the good and the bad. You inspire me.
Hello dear Nicole, I am lucky enough to have almost reached 74 years in August. But, I wasted so much time with anxiety, depression, and fear. Watching your brave and wonderful approach to life has given me so much. I thank you for making this channel and allowing us to witness your beauty encourage. Sending healing pain-free vibes your way. Aloha friend.
Pls see someone professionally For antidotes, whether !meds, someone to talk to, what ever works. Every minute is important not suffering, there are antidotes. 💓
I just love you so much for the way you live your life, your courage, your strength, your bravery and. just who you are. thank you for sharing you with the world.
Hi there, Nicole. It's good to see you all bubbly and happy! At least you know what is going on with your leg, hopefully you can get that squared away. Do good with your PT, enjoy your ice cream,and I'll see you next Sunday. Healing vibes and good juju sent your way.
Hi Nicole! ❤ "An umbrella of nerdom" was so funny! You are so positive, brave and inspiring. I am sending you abundant positive vibes! Great news about your leg! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great news about your discs! It feels crazy to say that but in this case it is the lesser of two evils. PT really helped my disc issues when I couldn’t stand upright screaming in pain. Happy to hear your outside area is cozy and set up for you to read your new book. Your wife is such a gem. Hopefully you were able to get some yummy ice cream. Happy Pride! ✨🌈☮️💟🦄🌈✨
Happy Sunday, Nicole!!! Glad you’re getting answers 😊 I hope 🤞🏻 you enjoyed your ice cream 🍦( if you were able to muster up the energy) I didn’t know you were a chef!! 🧑🍳 How wonderful!! So excited for you & your new found volume 2 book 😊 As always, looking forward to seeing you next Sunday. Wishing you rainbows 🌈 & wonderful sunshine ☀️ to enjoy on your patio❤
Oh Nicole, I'm so glad for you, I have a spinal cord stimulater and it changed my life, I had been bed bound for two years before. Lots of love and good things for you!! 💕
It's lovey to see you!! Watch at the Saint Paul international airport. Praying the PT and stim treatment helps you walk again!! Sending rainbow warrior energy 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🥰🥰🥰Sending so much love your way
It's good that a reason for back/leg pain has been identified at last. Getting out on micro adventures and enjoying these experiences whilst you can is vital. Your leg will gradually recover strength with PT if you can somehow get the pain control right to work the muscles. I don't think there's a limit to how much sugary treats you can have. Go for a huge dose every day !
1. Your wife is wonderful to care for you the way she does and I love your phrase “My chosen family”. 2. I’ve never seen anyone get so excited over bulging disks….lol
So happy to see you Chef Nicole! Thrilled no cancer present causing leg problem . Hope you can stand again soon. You still look fabulous my friend! 😅love cancer survivor Kathy Erie pa
You really are fortunate that you have a chosen family that is there when needed. I know of people who had no family and friends, and they had no choice but to die alone. I'm in the same predicament and it's no fun.
Nicole, what great news...it's not cancer and it can possibly get fixed or at least improve! The pain we have is so frightening, but when they find something that can be improved upon, it's absolutely wonderful!! You are so lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful wife. 😊 I hope your week with physical therapy is productive. Love to you!❤
I'm so happy for you! Admittedly, you probably unintentionally leave me no choice but to feel this way as your enthusiasm is so contagious. I hope the ice cream tasted even better than anticipated. May everything come together for you in such a way as to keep your excitement level running high.🌟☯️🤗💜 Karen
Nicole so happy you have found the root cause of your leg problem that is massive! And how wonderful that your wife did such thoughtful act of love and created a beautiful patio area for you both to enjoy and apple crisp and ice cream are two of my favorites. Have a great week!
You are a beautiful soul.🌻 Your time you are using so well. You are leaving behind a part of youself that is a joy to know🦋 Thank you so much for you.😊
That unicorn sushi piece is so dang cute! Thanks for the book recommendation, I’ll have to check it out. You will wow the PT crew this week….I just know it! Enjoy your apple crumble for me and I hope that new ice cream place was everything and more.
Your wife is amazing, Nicole. And I’m always amazed by your circle of friends…they are truly incredible. But it’s all because you are so special. I never thought I would say this…but yayyy for bulging discs…they are fixable! You look fantastic today. Wonderful talking with you. Xx💗💗
Enjoy the warm weather. Wonderful of your wife to make apple crisp….. my favourite too. Glad you found the root cause for your leg pain…hoping it gets better. Sending love and hugs Nicole. Enjoy your monster book. Chat next week.
Hi Nicole great that you have found out what's really wrong with your leg! Hopefully you will get some help in the week, so enjoy the good weather, on the patio with your new book. See you next week. Love Christine uk 🇬🇧 .❤❤
Hi Nicole, so good to see you are doing ok . Good luck with the PT sessions,just don't over do it too much 😊 Sending hugs to you and Gabby and of course extra for Tilly xxx
Just enjoy thls beautiful Summer day. Your mind is sharp and is naturally fun and happy. That's a blessing for you that dates back way before the cancer. Btw, whatever you believe, it's never "the end." It's a loss of your physical form, but at an absolute minimum, your contributions to the world live on. We all in some way influence the future, however small we think that influence is. Stay strong mentally tiger! ❤ Btw, I friggin love apple crisp!!! 🤗
That is awesome! I hope they can find a fix for your leg. Also why would you be coming to an end? You seem to be doing very good. You have the pill stopping the cancer, and are getting by. (: I hope you continue to get by. Maybe soon walk again too? Hopefully! My dad also has the bulging discs, it's not doing too much right now besides pain. Not good though! Best thing to do is always get out, and do what you want. Explore new things! 🙂
woohoo for getting to go to PT. I'm crossing my fingers you'll be able to use your leg again. I hope you got to enjoy some ice cream. All the little things add to be big things in life.
Hi beautiful Nicole ❤ I’m wishing you all the luck in the world. Aww that’s incredible, enjoy your book. I’m sending you so much love and positive, healing prayers always xxx🙏❤️
A friend of mine gave me My Favorite Thing is Monsters last year. I waa a little girl who adored horror and monsters. I had no idea there was a vol 2!! Thank you. I hope you get yr ice cream today 😊 😊
Bulging discs are a bitch! Hoping PT will be helpful as well as the spinal thing! Your wife is a dear and hope all goes well at her Dr appointment. Have a great week and eat ice cream!❤🍦
You're a kind soul going through an extreme situation but you're able to dissociate from what happens to you and yourself. Not many people can do that. Hopw that the appointment goes well and see an improvement in time.
Just have yo wait for the science right?! I am glad that you can do things for your leg and back. Here's to building strength and getting to move again. Day at a time. If there is even 1 reason to smile every day then life is worth it.
I love your unicorn 🦄! You always are so positive no matter what! I know it’s probably expensive, but did you ever think about getting one of those chairs that can bring you upstairs? I was just wondering about those because my neighbor had one and it really helped her get to her upstairs bedroom. Sending hugs for the EMG-it is very painful-hope it’s improved since I had my last one! Sending you 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🦄🦄🦄🦄🍦🍨🍧🍨🍦🍦🍧🍧
I said I thought it was lumbar spine nerve compression because, hello...I'm the queen of lumbar spine nerve compression. And I'm thrilled it turned out to be this because the stimulator is going to be potentially life-altering in regards to your pain levels. I haven't written much recently because my health really took a turn and I'm just now starting to breathe again. Remember that expensive drug I fought so hard to get approval for? $7000 a month! Well, my immune system laughed at it and doubled down on its assault of my spine, hips and SI joints. You know that sharp pain you get that stabs you so shockingly that you can't breathe or even move a muscle, because if you do, that breath-stealing pain is going to keep doing its thing? We're talking a serious 8+ on the pain scale, right? I know you know. I get to experience this phenomenon several times a day now. I'm on a new, very expensive injectable med but this may be damage that can the undone. But I'm doing all the things and will be soaking in a hot tub a couple times a week starting Tuesday. So, yeah, Me! Anyway, so happy to see your smile and bright eyes. It's summer, Nicole. SUMMER. And here you are. I'm not Rainbow Warrior stomping but I'm sending you and Gabby a ton of love and support. I think of you when I'm out on my porch under my 80 year old Elm tree admiring my potted plants with green tea in hand. Love and light, sister-friend.💪👊❤🌈🌺🌻🌄☀🌞
I've been wondering where you have been my friend. I'm sorry to hear it is a worl of pain that you are sinking into. I felt every word. As always I will be sending you some rainbow glitter warrior juju my friend. ❤️💪🏻🌈
That unicorn sushi piece is so dang cute! Thanks for the book recommendation, I’ll have to check it out. You will wow the PT crew this week….I just know it! Enjoy your apple crisp for me and I hope that new ice cream place was everything and more.
