    What a perfect day outside to answer questions!! Thank you for answering my questions. If you do ever come to Texas, come to EAST Texas because it is beautiful here. We have a lake called Caddo Lake that is very unique and a sight to see. If you google it you will see how unique it is with the cypress trees. The lakes here have alligators so we don't swim in them. Plus there are bacteria that can get into your ears and eyes that can kill you. But I would love to be your tour guide if you do come! Dillon would love our wineries too!

    Go enjoy yourself with your family and enjoy Egypt! Try not to worry too much about upcoming surgery, etc. as I can tell you, we are in a good world of medicine, Nikky, as my son who is in his 40's is a heart transplant recipient since 2016 and is doing extremely well. He lives a pretty normal life, has a great job and wonderful wife and family and embraces each and every day with much gratitude and joy! You are going to be just fine and will feel like a million bucks when you are on the other side and onto better health, etc. Love your videos! Hugs!

    Hi Nikky 😊 Lovely captures of your wonderful cottage and farm. Sorry to hear your health has been a struggle. Gallbladder stones Pain Is awful. A few years ago I had mine completely removed for it was the size of a Ostrich Egg according to the surgeon . Prior to that the pain was like nothing else I've ever experienced. I feel for you. The problem with the stones is you can get them removed without taking away the gall bladder (they call it key hole surgery here) ..however they do eventually come back...and that's the problem. Biologically the Gallbladder isn't that important .. just an extra filter ... not really needed so...Your body can managed just fine without it.. My suggestion is Get that little pain in the *Bleeep* outta your life and have it removed completely haha.. Best thing I did. It's a process , and a few weeks recovery, but worth not having those horrid pain attacks, turning yellow from anemia , feeling tired more than usual...But you do get better, feel better. Egypt... wow .. trip of a life time. How freaking wonderful, and warmer weather for a bit of respite . Enjoy it all . I look forward to your next video. - Tallulah

    Take it easy as you travel, but have a wonderful experience! My daughter who is about your age had emergency gallbladder surgery a couple of months ago. She is doing fine but finding a good balance with her diet seemed hard at first. Doing well with it now. Best wishes for a fabulous trip. 💕

    My father suffered from gallstones 🎉😢so painful. If this resonates with you two things I did to get rid of excruciating pain, so naturally I went on intermittent fasting and got hold of PEMF (pulse eltromagnetic frequency) Surgery may be good but question why this happened and how to not let it happen again. Enjoy your trip🎉think about being healed.❤

    Hello dear Nikky....I can very much understand your health issue as I had gall bladder trouble for some years, bad pain and often very painful attacks and finally a very bad attack and a trip to the emergency room followed by gall bladder surgery and recovery. Be so careful what you eat while in Egypt...you don't want to be in pain while traveling. I hope that you can have the surgery very soon when you arrive home. The recovery may take some time and you may have to limit some of your physical activity for a little while, but our bodies are resilient and in time you will feel so much better. Enjoy your wonderful trip to Egypt with your family and please be careful what you eat.

    I had gallbladder surgery about 13 years ago. It's an easy surgery, but it takes your body about a year to realize it doesn't have a gallbladder. Dont start off eating fatty food because you'll have extreme tummy surgery and diarrhea. I'll be thinking and praying for you, Nikki.
