My rough week of oral surgery, diverticulitis recovery, and the beautiful FAVORITES that got me through and made me smile. I made it through an emotional fall with some new challenges....and I overcame my fear of surgery I needed for years. I share with you my lovely favorites and I think some will make lovely Christmas presents!!!
I know I am swollen in this video and not talking as well as I usually do, but time will heal and I just did not want to be away for 2 or 3 weeks. My chats with you every week lift my spirit and I learn so much from you all...so I took a chance it was ok to film my week and share it with you.
Please know I love you to the moon and back,
Always, Susan & Desi

I’m trying not to be scared as I’m going into the hospital Monday morning for a total knee replacement. I’m telling myself just like when I was younger and having babies that others do it, so can I. 😅

@LittlePoet Год назад

Hello Sher!!! You got this!!! My best friend has been through that surgery and she was fine and shocked it wasn't half as bad as she had been told it would be!!! She just signed dup for dance classes this week!!!! My love to you and yours....and if you get a chance, give us an update on your surgery! xxoo Susan & Dez

@marpet765 Год назад

Marlene peters- sherjoy. Don't be afraid. I had a knee replacement on my right knee and then the left knee they were done a year apart. They do such marvelous surgery now. I had no pain. You sleep quite a bit. My surgeries were both done early morning and I was up walking the next morning. I wanted to share this experience with you. Take care. Let us and me know how you do. Food was good too. Like a seven course meal.

@jacquelinedonoghue2135 Год назад

@wanda4573 Год назад

@SusanPorterflseagrl Год назад

Sherjoy, I'll pray that the doctor's hands that perform your surgery will be guided to give you a successful and safe outcome. It's okay to be nervous and scared (we're all that way with surgery), but know that we care, are thinking of you, and wishing you all the best. You'll get through this! Love and Hugs. ♥🙏

@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts Год назад

I have to add, last year I had a partial hysterectomy. They found a mass in my stomach also. Before I went into surgery I asked if I could say a prayer before they put me under. I said a prayer the anesthesiologist said thank you, and while they were administering the anesthesia, my surgeon came over and held my hand until I fell asleep… that kind gesture has stayed with me❤ I might also add I have a deep faith in Jesus Christ as my savior and at first I was uncomfortable asking to say a prayer but then I thought why would I be uncomfortable this is who I am in Christ🙏

@azamudio128 Год назад

Amen 🙏

@tomr.2907 Год назад

Faithy, i pray for you. You can be strong. I hope you are well. After being misdiagnosed for months with "women.s issues", the day before my wife turned 65, doctors found a tumor the size of a football, in my honey. Ovarian cancer stage 3-C. Five years later she became my Angel. Her symptoms few medical providers are trained to recognize. Ovarian cancer impacts 1 in 80 women, and kills a woman every 90 minutes. I hope to someone educate providers so it can be diagnosed early and no longer be the silent killer. 😇

@melrose795 Год назад

Amen!!

@emilymorris5988 Год назад

I had a hysterectomy a few years ago and had heart complications from anesthesia. I was out for quite a long time and an abnormal heart rhythms which scared my surgeon. When I partially woke a nurse was on one side and my surgeon on the other side with his hand upon me. I overheard them both praying for me. I will never forget that experience. It was a Catholic hospital I was in, but I would not think too many healthcare workers would pray for a patient undergoing complications. I was certainly blessed.

@grannyprepper1181 Год назад

Over half of my life I’ve been afraid. Afraid of what others think of me, afraid of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time,afraid of not being a good enough person…I was always fearful. In my mid 30’s I learned I was the problem. Allowing fear to rule me. Last year when my husband told me he had filed for a divorce, I became fearful again. At 69 I was going to be alone again and living on just social security. Oh hell, I passed fearful, I panicked! It took a little while, but once I really looked at everything I realized I would be ok…and I am!

22yrs ago I was going through my divorce. I was so scared to walk into Court by myself in front of the Judge and face my ex husband. I was wishing my brother or any of my sisters to offer to come with me. They never did 😢. I’d mentally prepared myself days before and built the courage to walk in by myself and finalize that chapter of my life. It was incredible, surreal really. It didn’t take long at all for one person to Order an end to a marriage. Walking out of there I’d felt a painful heaviness lifted off my shoulders. I’d learned that day how STRONG I am by myself. ✨🌷🙏🌷✨

That was the hard part I know the pattern, everything is our fault, we don’t behave, we don’t deserve anything bcs of our behavior. He eventually cheated on me and I was told to read between the lines bcs I didn’t deserve an explanation. I am still recovering from that up to this date of ALL the residue he left inside of me.

From a former nurse who left the field due to burnout, thank you for sharing your story. It's vulnerable moments like those that made me want to be a nurse and that I miss the most. A patient asking for that type of support is a true gift to a nurse, not the other way around. Thank you for another beautiful video!

40 years a nurse, retired in 2019 and its true. Even with the shortage and Covid I'm still hearing stories of caring and compassion about nurses, even from my own 90 year old mom who was in the hospital.18 days. Kudos to those nurses and all health care workers still out there, we do love our patients !!

@annamorreale9458 Год назад

I’m a retired nurse who left nursing due to the stresses of working during COVUD. I muss my patients so much that I cry sometimes. We as nurses strive to offer others comfort during stressful and sometimes painful times in our patients lives. Being a nurse is who I am. It was never a job to me.

@marymogckmishmashmary Год назад

The first medical procedure i had after my husband pass away i felt so alone and was afraid. The nurse asked me if i was okay and i told her he was always with me in the past and i felt so alone, she came over and held my hand during the whole procedure, it made all the difference. ❣️

@tomr.2907 Год назад

Mary, i felt the very same emotions, at the first couple medical procedures after my wife went to heaven. I expect i.ll be anxious at future medical events for a long time. My wife had been with me, at my side, for everything for decades. And i had been blessed to be with her, at her side, holding her hand, for her 100+ doses of chemo, a couple hundred medical appointments & tests, her last 5 years, fighting ovarian cancer. I now think i know the comfort & compsssion & love she felt from me by her side, and holding the hands of my honey, now my angel. 😇

Susan, you don't know it, but you were holding my hand on Tuesday November 1st of this year. I was diagnosed a month ago with her two positive carcinoma in my breast. I had surgery to remove it and two lymph nodes. I start chemo soon and then radiation but they are sure they got it all during the surgery. My daughter set me up with little poet videos on a loop for me to listen to while I was in recovery because she knows how much I love you and how soothing your voice is to me. And it really did make me feel better and I woke up and my daughter was sitting with me and your voice was playing in my ear. I know it sounds silly but I thought you would understand. I wasn't going to say anything until I watched your video tonight and I just had to write and tell you how you held my hand on November 1st. Love you and Desi!

I started crying over this too.... Sometimes others don't know the nice feelings we are feeling towards them. When I hit 50, 52 I started saying what I was thinking...If I see a beautiful woman and I'm near her, I say, "I just wanted to tell you how pretty I think you are". If someone smells good, I tell them and ask what they are wearing..... It's little things which make us feel good .

@marlenewilliams9115 Год назад

Little Poet, you just struck so many chords in my life. I was a dental assistant for over thirty years, in the same office. I have held so many hands over the years. I've had people tell me that if not for me they could not have had such and such procedure done! But, until now, hearing you say that about your young assistant did I really take those words to heart. To me my heart was already wanting to help or do whatever it was to make that patient feel comfortable, to feel like they were all that mattered at that time. I could write a book on this subject. Thank you, Susan, for letting me see that I did make a difference. I've thought many times if I really did or were patients just being nice. This was for me. Take my hand and I'll take yours. God bless you and your sweet Desi!

Thank you Susan. in 2019 my husband was going through Chemotherapy for Leukemia. it was the most difficult time of our lives. Fast forward a couple of months to his Stem Cell Transplant. I worked in Home Support for over 20 years and was a support for many families during challenging times, but always refused any offers of help because I always felt I could manage and didn't want to bother anyone. I reached out to my brother. sister and his cousin and said I needed them and could they come. They all said yes. and staggered their times to be with me. I had someone with me for almost a month. The best thing I ever did was say I needed them and please help me. He's gone almost 8 months now, and I've been able to reach out when I needed someone.

@countrysister700 Год назад

I'm not sure if it's adulthood or our American Protestant work ethic or just pride, but "help!" is something we are far too slow to cry out. God made us for each other.

You did it again! You sent me back in time to a dentist appointment that started out like yours, but the ending to mine might make you laugh. I was around 35, my husband had left me for another woman, and I had an abscessed tooth. Although the antibiotics seemed to have done their work, the dental surgeon still wanted to put in a drainage tube. I was in no pain the day I went to the office, but I opted for the laughing gas, my first time having it. I started to think about there I was, a grown ass woman whose father took her to the dentist because her husband was gone. The tears started, the tech became alarmed and squeezed my hands. They ended up giving me enough gas that I didn't remember anything... until I came around in the recovery area with the worst pain of my life. This poor older woman timidly approached me with a single rose in her hand. She offered it to me saying, "The doctor likes all his patients to have a rose." I was SO PISSED at being in pain, and probably still loopy. I took the rose and shook it at her. "Do you know what he can do with this rose?" My highly amused father retrieved me and hauled me outta there before I could make any suggestions. Just think of that next time you go to the dentist and remind yourself how much better behaved you are than I was. :)

Seeing that beautiful boy Desi on his fancy ottoman, reminded me of something a work colleague said to me the other day. I was telling her that I have to get up in the night sometimes because my cat, Shirley 😄, scratches at the door to be let in or out. My colleague said "what a naughty cat." I replied "No, she isn't at all, she just can't open doors by herself." My colleague rolled her eyes 😂 but it's true isn't it...they are helpless in many ways and I think it must be hard to want to do something but not be equipped to do it and therefore we help those we love, be they human or fur babies.

@pennysue8926 Год назад

The awesome power of physical touch is so very grounding. It doesn't need to sensual or sexual. I have found myself over the past 4 or 5 years kind of closing myself off from physical contact... not sure why, but it happened. So when the occasional touch of a hand or a hug happens, it feels so intense. And sometimes, I just kind of melt into it... the warm embrace of someone, the little touch of a hand on mine. It can be terrifying and at the same time it can be so comforting. I am so happy you had that positive experience, and I'm fairly certain that the tech will remember you for a very long time. Loved this video, as I do all of them. Hugs, Penny Sue

Oh, Susan, thank you so much for this video. It was heart wrenching! I hope you feel better and I'm so glad you got to hold her hand. When I had my eye surgery to remove a portion of my eyelid, because of cancer, Dennis was allowed to come in, and he held my toe. He couldn't get any closer. But that brought me the comfort and courage that I needed for that moment. I'll never forget it. And when he was in ICU for his bypass surgery, I didn't dare get close to him because of all the wires and machines, but I held his toe. I guess we are toe holders! And in December, on the 2nd, we will be married for 50 years. Are we going anywhere? No, we want to stay home. Maybe out to dinner, but we just want to be alone, with each other.

I’m in tears right now! You and I could be soul sisters! You are so sweet and thoughtful! I put everybody ahead of me in life, and I know the reaction to rejection in my life. You asking that nurse to hold your hand was so brave. I’m happy she did that for you. I had breast cancer, a hysterectomy and a bacterial infection and total knee replacement this last year and I. Worn out and I need grace in my life right now! Thank you for being so sweet! ❤️

@daisyy99 Год назад

You are strong and brave, too. You made it through! I hope you rewarded yourself. And I recommend a treat every week! I go to the library and read new magazines, or find a book to take home. Sometimes a dvd. Sometimes I treat myself to a cookie or a donut. Take my lunch to the park. Go to the thrift store.

I have always had a problem with asking for help. When I was in the hospital and my doctor was telling me that I was going to need to undergo emergency surgery, I had the most compassionate nurse that I am certain God placed in my room at that time. She was working on me and as the doctor talked, I felt her squeezing my hand and I wondered what she was doing. As soon as the doctor left, she looked at me as I was fighting back a major cry and she said that was a lot for anyone to hear and asked me if she could hug me. I cried in her arms and was so moved by her compassion......I will never forget how God had the right person with me at the right time! Glad your surgery is over; teeth work is NO fun. Love the ottoman and it seems Desi does as well!! Here's to a much better week ahead for you Susan. Love you lots, Debbie 😘❤

@MaggieLoveMTC Год назад

Susan your hair looks extra fabulous today. Loved your "holding hand" story. It made me cry. It reminds me of when my two daughters and I went to a haunted house about 8 years ago...I was 52 and they were 30 and 15 respectively. My daughters were going on and on about how Mom is never afraid of anything, she's going to laugh at everybody being scared...well, I was scared. I was at the front of the line and there were more people (strangers) with us going through this haunted house. I couldn't make myself go forward and my daughters were egging me on to keep going so when I looked back at them and they seen the fear in me, they both yelled out "mommy!", they ran to me and put me between them and held my hands and wouldn't let me go. I felt like a child and I felt they were treating me like one, but it was so sweet the way they wanted to get me through that. I know it's not the same as going through what you went through but I can relate to your point on how you felt like a scared child...I felt that too. It was so weird for me, so unexpected. TFS

I love that I found you. It has been tough for me, entering the mid 60s alone. Your video about the elephant bridge really got to me. Elephants are now my spirit animal. This video just blew my mind. This week for me: oral surgery for one infected tooth to be removed; I bought a new 4 quart crockpot; and I bought a new ottoman, the main color being burgundy. Your story about hand holding, I too was a 15 year old having a baby all alone. Wow. Well all I have to say is if elephants are now my spirit animal, you are my spirit guide. Unreal. Thank you for being. Edit: You asked about needing something and being afraid to ask for it. Well, that would be right now. I feel so alone and need some guidance to help me navigate these deep waters of being a woman of a certain age. And also - I would love a hug. It has been painfully long since I was wrapped up in a hug by anyone. I forget almost what that feels like. It's okay, I am finding my "inner elephant" lol and I will figure it all out. Thank you for being here and sharing. .

I had surgery to put a Stent in my heart one day after my husband passed from cancer. I was alone, except I knew God was with me, and so was my husband that day. I had a nurse who hugged me before and after surgery, that physical touch meant so very much. God bless her.

Great story Susan about your oral surgery experience. I too have feared that chair for years. Making appointments would cause such anxiety it would take me weeks and months to make an appointment. That claustrophobic feeling whilst a person's hand is in my mouth or touching my face. Ugh!! Our stories aren't the same but like so many others I'm sure we can relate to that fear and anxiety while alone or not for an array of reasons. Thank you for being so so open and vulnerable with your life and making people like me feel normal and uplifted. How brave of you to ask for help. I struggle with that so much from childhood. Your right that young girl will always remember the connection she had with you. You touched her heart😊❤🇨🇦

Oh Susan, you are so so beautiful. overcoming any fear is enormous. The beauty that radiates from you with your videos is striking. You leave such an impression on me, and give tremendous inspiration. Thankyou so very much. I am in a bad marriage at the moment and can not leave due to the economy at this time. I was threatened to be thrown out two times in the past five weeks. I have no where to go and it is terrifying to me. I am not used to this kind of living and now at 64 years old. I had a beautiful marriage for twenty years until he passed away, and now this.. So yes, I am filled with fear. I know some day I will get out of here and I know that it will take a lot of courage to go and make a way for myself like you did. Thank you for your honesty and caring to share yourself with us all... love to you...💜

I'm glad you have that behind you and the nurse was there for you. I wish you a speedy recovery. Also, you looked very nice, I do like your dress!

@traceytansley1659 Год назад

Hi Laura, I also turned 60 this past March. It's been a rough year. My husband had a major heart attack at Easter, only the 2nd person to survive this severe of a one, in the heart surgeons 26 years of practice. I am still dealing with the fears. I have anxiety and during Covid it got worse, finally turning into Fibromyalgia. Of course, after my husband's heart attack at 55 years, this flared worse. It was also a challenge to even go into hospitals with my fear of Covid and fibro flared up with so much pain, secondary to his situation of course. I kept having full on panic attacks, and could barely breathe, but for him I faced my fears. Sitting alone in Emerg having my 5th panic attack, a young women sitting behind me recognized it, she sat with me and showed me a technique she uses to deal with her panic attacks. We both had our mandatory masks on, but her eyes were warm, understanding and kind. Eventually, my husband came home, how blessed! I felt like I won the lottery jackpot, but recovery was slow and while I kept up with most things, there were just somethings I couldn't manage. A few neighbours, after I finding out what happened, stepped up and helped. Another neighbour that I mostly only waved to and didn't really know helped me the most. She even drove me to pick my husband up when he was released a day early and family couldn't be reached. She purchased last minute needed items for him that I had only found out about the night before. She sent me photos of the items to choose from by text message so I felt like I was shopping..sooo sweet!!! She even refused to take money for these things claiming she would have spent more on a fruit basket. Turns out she is a fellow Pisces! Pisces are so giving and caring and can be trusted, so then I knew it came from her heart. I had to learn to accept help and face my fears. While my husband was still in serious condition (in medical coma on life support) my step daughter arrived to help, instead she did nothing and caused drama, ve4bally attacking me because I was vulnerable. I didn't understand at the time, but as time past, I realized she has been jealous of me the whole time I raised her, her brother alongside my own two since her mother hasn't ever been good parent..my step daughter therefore needed double attention from my husband and was jealous of our closeness and felt deprived anytime he didn't spend with her, or gave to me. Anyhow, she took this horrible traumatic time to take advantage of my weakness. It has been a nightmare. The kindness of strangers and neighbours are what got me through, that and faith.

@vonniew2239 Год назад

I had a small procedure in my doctors office a few years ago and the doctor asked a nurse come in the room. She held my hand the whole time, maybe about 6 minutes or so. I was so grateful because I was afraid. I will never forget that. That small gesture meant so very much to me! I love watching your videos! I can relate to many things that you talk about. 💗

@polaris299 Год назад

It is a strength, not a weakness, to ask for help when we need it. As a RN/ARNP of 50+ years, I always felt that the human caring side of nursing was most rewarding. A tender touch and an empathetic attitude is what's most needed in our high-tech world. And now a question--what is the brand and shade of the lovely lipstick you are wearing in this video? I'd love to get one for myself. Thank you Susan, I always look forward to seeing you and Desi every week.

Oh, Susan, you remind me so much of myself because I have dental phobia and get so anxious. The power of touch is calming and healing. I've learned from experience that there are so many good people out there that have empathy and good hearts. That young girl in the dental office that held your hand cried because she thought to herself, "I can help and be a godsend to someone today," and she went home after work knowing that she made a difference. So you both were blessed. So happy everything went well and you're gonna be fine. ❤

Wouldn’t it be interesting to hear her story as to why it brought tears to her eyes? Was she in a similar situation with nobody’s hand to hold? Did you remind her of her sister? An aunt? I’m glad you asked her…brave, dear friend. God bless you with a speedy recovery and perfectly repaired, beautiful teeth. Oh, and YES I agree completely with the target clothing.

I always have nitrous oxide in the dental office when I’m having a procedure and it makes such a difference. It is scary to be in any medical situation by yourself.

I feel I must hide my loneliness from my kids pretend I am carrying on just fine and in most things I do okay. Your hand holding story has touched something inside me that i need to get out. So a good cry I'm having then all will be better. You have such a gentleness about you and at the sanw time a sense of humor that is so bright.

I had a bridge on my upper right side done, a permanent one put in and it does take a long time😮 a lot of appointments but I have a great dentist and he did a fantastic job. One of my teeth came loose that I had a crown put in so that had to come out and he put a false tooth with bridge. I absolutely am so glad I had that done. There are so many people that are poor that go hungry that have things a lot worse than I do. I am so grateful for what I have… it’s a good reminded to give back also to those less fortunate❤Giving is good for the soul❤.. Oh let me know how you make out with your Italian gentleman. I am 1/2 Sicilian, 1/2 Abbruzzese🇮🇹🇮🇹 I did buy the ottoman for Otis. I’ll let you know how that works out. I have a bench in front of my bed that he jumps on the bed to get to but he won’t use it to get off. If it is a fail I have something beautiful.
