Thank you! I have the same condition.

Have a very happy birthday this weekend! You're almost done and the worst is over--soon you will be enjoying life and health again!! BTW, when I had severe dry eyes, my retinal specialist suggested taking Carlson's fish oil daily. It is amazing how much just one tsp. a day can cure that issue!

You're very brave sharing all that's going on in your treatments. So glad you're at the end of radiation. Happy 60th Birthday 🎂 You deserve to take more time for yourself. Sending well wishes for you to start feeling better.🙏❤️🐕

I'll just say I started watching your channel for retirement and financial planning as a single woman approaching 60. I was interested in seeing how you were managing those things. Dealing with health issues is just part of the deal as we age. I am looking forward to seeing how things progress for you. Best, Maria

Happy Birthday…, this next year is bound to get so much better…

Not always true there are some out side force that can cause your life to be chaotic and stressful wether you want it to are not

8:31 it definitely rough

Woo that’s great!

I really enjoy clear explanations in your videos. Thank you.

I haven't commented lately but I'm still watching. 😊 I like your content so I'm sticking around. 😊 By the way, love the new hair style!

❤❤

I get really excited when I see a new video with you because it’s refreshing to see women around around 60 that are talking about issues that are common at this stage of life! And we can certainly relate to managing finances and job issues while supporting ourselves.

I hope you continue making videos. There are some people that do find your videos helpful about money issues. Also health wise you continue to share your experience with a brain tumor. I hope you continue on your recovery n helpful suggestions about money savings.🐾🐾🐕

🎉❤ Congratulations on your first 6 months of monetization. I’m slowly getting there myself. Like you I will be excited to make any amount after I’m monetized. Keep producing videos the higher $ will come. 😊

I know this is 7 months ago but I wish you success in your future!

I had a meningioma. It had an aneurysm in it. I had a lot of symptoms before and after. They did a partial resection then FSR to kill the remaining tumor. It totally changed my life. I lost everything. Thank goodness I was able to work with an OT afterward who helped me retrain my brain.

So glad you are almost done with the treatments; soon it will just be a memory and you will be grateful to have had such a great outcome! I had a benign meningioma in 2016, it's been 9 years next month since my 10-hour surgery and I am doing great--no recurrance and normal except for the reminder every 3 years having a routine brain MRI. I had my head shaved from front to just behind my ears for the surgery, with a shaved circle on back of the top of my head for the pressure valve during surgery. As my hair grew out, I had VERY short hair in front and a spike on top of my head! I used to see young people with their hair spikes and think, "What were they thinking?!" After sporting my spike for 2 or 3 months, I was SAD when it curled over and disappeared into my hair! (It was a great lesson for me to not make assumptions about others motives for their actions.) Praying for you as you finish this race--and I agree, people think any time "tumor" and "brain" are used in the same sentence, you are terminal. I also had people who did not understand what "benign" meant and thought I was dying, which was annoying the third time you heard it that day! Soon you will be enjoying the fun haircuts/styling you can do!

I've done dog walker and dog sitter for family no charge, many friends might expect the same for them do it also for free because "we are friends" 😩

Thanks for the updates on how you are doing. The wig you had on at the beginning looked great. You have lost a lot of hair though. I know how excited you will be to have the treatments behind you. You seem to be handling it well and doing all you can. I do hope these treatments do the job on the tumor. Keeping you in my prayers.

I love your new hairstyle and color you show in the beginning part. Rest is so restorative!

Good for you, Mry! I also follow the 20-30 min rule to see the dr. Your time is better spent being out in the fresh air or resting at home. I’m a punctuality person also. I will do whatever to be at my appt on time, and making you wait is simply lack of respect. enjoy following your channel. You are one brave lady and I wish you the very best.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. So fortuitous that you discovered it when you weren’t having any symptoms yet!!! my mom had a brain tumor that got so advanced that by the time they took it out, she went blind and had very poor quality of life and passed a few months after the surgery. she had symptoms for years including dizziness, confusion, balance issues etc and went to docs however her managed care company would never approve a scan. She finally ended up in the ER years later and that’s where they discovered it.

Thank you for the advice. Sometimes it's hard to stay positive when you see n hear all the bad that's going on around you. So I'm thankful for what I have. Yes, our furbabies can help us tremendously. My often surround me n make me feel protected. I hope everything goes well for you.

God bless you

Yes, perspective is everything! I am 61 and divorced and have worked in real estate for 10 years in various positions. About two years ago, I helped another realtor create a team and began being the sales team manager and trainer. I also was doing all the transaction work contract to close documents plus converting internet leads by calling them every day and also answering them within a minute of when they first came in from the Internet as required by Team Leader. All the pressure and dealing with people yelling at me about interest rates and how they can’t buy home ever has taking their toll and I ended up driving myself to the E.R. this week with shortness of breath, continuous headache, and very high blood pressure I have hit the wall completely! What a wake up call. I’m actually glad it happened because it led to me quitting all the parts of this job except doing the paperwork part sure I’ll need to find some other source of income, but enough is enough.

Very sound advice! It definitely helps with how we look at things.

I had radiation in my left knee last February to kill a tumor. The resulting scar tissue has gotten to the point that I am now looking at surgery and possibly amputation. I very much hope that the oncologist went over all of the potential side effect with you. That being said, if I had to do it over again, I would.

I really enjoyed the video. You really have your act together, I'm impressed. It made me realize that I need to get better in a lot of things. Thanks for posting 😊

The same thing happened with my grandma when she came to live with us n eventually had to go to a nursing home. Years later my mom was having health issues n after a stay in the hospital my family had her sent to a nursing home. She eventually got worse in there n came home. So out of her 7 children i was the only one taking care of her. It was hard balancing taking care of her n working. She passed within 2 weeks of being at home. After all of this i had a living will made. I know that my moms insurance paid only 1 month of being in nursing home ,then would've make her pay by taking her savings. Thanks for sharing this important information. 🐈‍⬛

Thanks for sharing your personal experiences with radiation treatments. I like your mini rewards with the lottery tickets each time after your treatment gives you something to look forward to when you get back home

It's good to see you're out walking. Isn't it nice when your furbaby naps with you. Sounds like some of your headache could be from the damaged discs in your neck. Have a restful weekend. 🐕🐾🐾

Great ideas, thank you.🤗

NO WAY THIS WILL HELP ME SO MUCH GET UP IN THE MOUNING AND NOT TALE A MILLON MINITES

What is your business entity? Do you have liability insurance? How do you advertise or is it more repeat customers and word of mouth at this point, after 5 years on Rover?

Thanks for sharing how radiation is going. My sister-in-law started radiation recently for lung cancer. I haven't talked to her to see if she has any changes, or how it's going for her. She lives in another town, and she has lots of family members to help her, and she has to drive about an hour to get there. My brother takes her unless one of their children/grandchildren are off to drive her. I try not to bother her, but I will call them tomorrow. When that dog barked and growled some, my cat raised her head up and looked at the computer as if to say, "That will be enough of that!" LOL I was out of town last night and I kept wondering if he missed me. I think he did!! I fell a about 20 minutes ago in my kitchen. I had a bag, plastic grocery bag, on the floor with a couple of things in them. I stepped on that plastic, and with laminate flooring my foot went flying. My foot got bend back somehow and I crashed down. My poor foot was hurting, and I was praying, "Please don't let me have broken a bone. It got me in the ankle area. It hurt pretty bad at first. I grabbed the ice pack and got it on there. Now it is no longer hurting, I don't think it will bruise as bad as I first thought!! Falling happens so fast!! I will quit sitting things down like that from now on!!

Super helpful. Thank you!

I appreciate you sharing your experiences with radiation. I really didn’t know what that experience is like and you explained it so clearly. Smart idea of a daily reward to look forward to - that makes all the difference when we’re going through difficult things

I'm so sorry to hear of everything you are dealing with. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ❤🙏

You've got alot to deal. I didn't know they make the mask press down so hard on your face. Could the radiation cause any burning on your face? I hope this treatment works for you. Take care.😔❤

Good ideas, sometimes focus on what your basic things are can be helpful in life. Your idea of having a good surrounding and people can make a huge difference, and of course being thankful for both. I will pray for your health and recovery and I enjoy your videos.

I think you are right to have these habits of getting up and getting ready for the day. If I stay in a robe or PJ's, then my day is shot. I want to lay around and be lazy all day long. I am retired and my sleep habits are awful. I need to do better and I know it, but sometimes it's hard and so easy to give in to just being lazy. Thanks for sharing your routine and the tips! The birds were not as loud today, but sometimes they are singing so beautifully!

We've had two Rover experiences, both were unsatisfactory. The first sitter agreed to stay, visited us, arrived at 6:30am, and after we left for a memorial service in LA, 400 miles away, got a text that she wasn't coming back after saying, "I'm going to get some food for the weekend." The second pet sitting three months later, and she left several days into a 4 day pet sitting, saying, "I'm not feeling well." We discovered she never stayed overnight as agreed, and wasn't there much for the dogs. She apparently was doing 2-3 sits, rather than just our agreed sit. Fortunately, we had a tenant who provided some assistance until we returned. Conclusions are: Hire a sitter who is more mature in age where values of integrity, honesty and commitment are more often to be counted upon. Second, install some nanny cams to see when the sitter is coming and going, how they are or are not treating the pets. Remember, you're trusting a total stranger to be in your home unsupervised. Will they keep agreements, do their job as agreed? You don't know and can't hold them accountable without verification. Protect yourself.

Thank you, you have a wonderful garden, cute dog, and a healthy balanced life.

I would like to have schedules. But I have different days off. And I seem to always be tired and not wanting to do anything.

I need to move to a location were theres a community

Being single 56 i love the freedom of indrpendance making my own decisions not being mistreated by anyone again

so glad I found your channel. the tips for order, are so helpful in a chaotic world, best wishes for good health, too
