Thanks for story time! Funny and informative. I remember the cry over the PCT Paradise Cafe burger-the timing of the insert cracked me up.

Winning!

Same I think there beautiful

❤❤❤

Your narration with "the little B roll" you said you had turned out just fine!

I'm happy to hear you had a good time! It looks and sounds amazing

What a huge difference from the small town celebrations I'm used to. Damn you for adding yet another thing to my list of must do's :P

Decades ago I was flying to Cambridge for advanced trainings in what was then my field of massage therapy. Adore that town. That's when I swam in Walden Pond which I thought was so cool. Before that I spent time with a Bostonian friend I was visiting who showed me everything. I LOVED that place. I was so amazed that you could actually walk all over the city with your own two feet instead of getting in a car. I want to go back but would for sure choose cooler weather. The history, age of the buildings, founding father stuff, yep, easy to be proud of what went down to found this country. It's nice to share all of it with a friend. Glad to see you enjoyed yourselves.

Hearing you say "Fuck around and find out" made my day 😂

So cool! I have seen parts of this city trail but not this much. Thank you for the tour! :)

Blueberries for Sal was one of my favorite children's books! Your whole trip looks like fun. Glad you guys had a great time.

Once again, omg girl, I freaking love that hat!

I subscribed to both Lisa's and Nikki's channels. I tend to do that - subscribing and watching smaller YT channels instead of the ones with the millions of subscribers. I guess part of me enjoys the innocence of channels that are a little bit unpolished, or like hidden gems. I LOVE your channel! This was a great, informative video! 😀

That orange used to be called "International Orange" probably because no one but an explorer or mountain climber would wear it so in a search and rescue situation searchers would look for that color to find tho lost or injured person. That "sun hat"; doesn't cover the ears and side of face - right where I developed skin cancer. If a rescue helicopter couldn't locate someone on a mountain near treeline, it means the lost dudes didn't have a fire which they should have been prepared to do and been their first order of business.

Hi Stripes! All good stuff. It's so important to be prepared. I even have an EDC of stuff that stays in my purse. For the people on that trail my thoughts always go to "what were they thinking?" They were lucky you came along. What elevation do you live at? I'm at a little over 2700 ft. so I'm impressed seeing you hike to 10,000. Ugh, my body would not like that. I easily get altitude sickness. I backpacked in CO long ago and was fine at 7500ft until I wasn't at 10,000. ha ha. I was in Breckinridge CO a decade ago at over 9000ft and by the end of the week I finally started feeling "almost okay".

I had such a good time with you yesterday! I feel honored to be mentioned in your video 😂

So glad to see you able to get out there! Sounds like an awesome hike with new friends and I always love a little “what’s in my pack” sidebar 😊

I had so much fun! Looking forward to the next adventure :) And that salmon jerky is amazing...

Love you! Boston 2024 ❤❤❤

You know we'll still be here when you do come back. I think you are making an impact on the lives you help through your second job, and especially helping yourself be free from the debt! Thank you for the update. = )

Stripes, Shredder…how do I get an “S” nickname to match my sisters? Maybe I’m just “Sis.” That’s an “S” name. 😊

Great goals!

I freaking love your new job, no matter how long you do it. When my parents moved from Lincoln, NE to Beaverton, OR, we had a friend who helped my folks organize for the move and pack. Then she drove a U-Haul from Lincoln to Portland, through a snowstorm in the Rocky Mountains, and helped them get settled. My folks were able to just take a flight to Portland without worry. What a gift our family friend gave to all of us. What you are doing is a huge service to elderly folks.

I'd go slow on paying off that student debt. Though not so slow as to wait till the presidential election. If the administration is handling our student debt relief, most owing it are at least due some relief since education is such a racket in the US and really ought to be at least rolled back to 1990:levels when I received a community college AS degree. The videos on this channel have been informative and entertaining. Viewers like myself owe the creator nothing. Quite the contrary. And hello the elderly is such a needed and honorable work.

What exact mattress did you purchase? Looks perfect

For a moment I thought she was going to really tighten her purse strings. Then she started rattling every souvenir shop in the French Quarter and fifty dollar T shirts (OK the Stevie Nicks is understandable sinc her concert was the inspiration for the trip). But the had 4 hardcover books and on and on. I use the same strategy to access public restrooms. Put off unessential purchases to use as "restroom tax" when the need arises.

Sounds like a magical trip

I am so jealous of that hat!!!

I love this 🙌 Conscious spending doesn't mean you avoid treating yourself it just means you treat yourself with meaningful things.

All I heard the dr say is "I don't know how to help you".

The reason you are going through this is probably the fact you got jabbed! Did you?

Or vaccine damage??? Did you get the vax's???? So sorry for you

Dry needling helps me so much on my neck and shoulder blades!!! I have chronic neck pain and back shoulder blade pain. I do see a neurology PA as I did have spine surgery 5 years ago but now pain is back and I’m determined to get to the bottom of it. I wish you well!!!

New subscriber here. Your story sounds a lot like my story. I am so sorry you are going through this as well. I wanted to recommend a book I just got. I've not finished it yet but it's good so far. It's The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. Thank you so much for sharing.

The solution has nothing to do with all of those things your doctor is telling you to do. Obviously, you’ve done most of them for years, to no avail. I challenge you to try the carnivore way of eating for 30 days and give a testimony of what has happened in your body. There are too many people who have been completely healed from pain from this lifestyle, do you research 💟

Any pain in your body is caused from inflammation. This can be restored and healed through your diet, it’s the truth. Research Dr. Ken Berry carnivore diet. so many have been truly healed and have a testimony. 🙏🕊😇

Keep after it! I have had shoulder issues since a fracture in 2016, including chronic pain. My PT has been the linchpin in my treatment. In addition to post op therapy, he has stuck in there with me since an op for frozen shoulder in 2018. He is the one who listened over and over again to my dismay at having been blown off by one shoulder doc. He and his colleague were the ones who talked me down after that experience and who helped me to find a new and more compassionate shoulder doc. He has now walked along through two more shoulder ops and two additional years of chronic pain. He is the one who recommended the sports med doc who has done five diagnostic injections around my shoulder blade. The sports med doc is also the one who followed up after a CT found a miscellaneous rib fracture and who picked up the ball with a referral to a different shoulder doc, one who pays attention to the area where I am having difficulty. My PCP is female-all the others are guys. There are some good ones out there :) My list sounds like yours: ice, heat, meds, Pilates, acupuncture (which has actually been amazing), massage with medically aware therapists. It’s not ‘all in your head ‘ :)

Situational depression is a thing :)

I'm really looking forward to hearing/seeing your journey through this! I'm glad you are being your best advocate and fighting for answers. You've got our support! 😀

Glad to hear you've finally got a good doctor and more clarity about your back. I was a massage therapist for ten years and yes your muscles hold memory and that can be released. I lean towards alternative medicine but believe in combining Allopathic (traditional medicine) along with it. I gain meaningful and important information with traditional medicine that can help me choose which path to walk (complimentary/alternative) for healing. I like to first know what's going on with any needed tests etc. then go from there on how to deal with the issue be it medication, acupuncture, PT, naturopathic medicine, massage, yadda yadda.

You can do it!! I'm so happy you got someone who actually wants to help you.

It's the Medical Industrial Insurance Complex. I had to hire a private practice dermatologist to find out i have skin cancer. The "care" supplied by the state insurance said 'don't worry, you're super healthy.'. Coroner's services are a lot cheaper than an oncologist. Many practicing physicians have immigrated to America, leaving their home country with a physician deficit to live the live of reality stars we've all heard of. they've crammed to pass medical exams 90% of which haven't changed in 100 years. They may have lingering resentments against Americans who they regard as pampered complainers who it is their job to pander to those complaints oblivious to aid them in maintaining real heay. they will prescribe ☠️ happy pills that addict you and earn them perks from pharmaceutical corporations that are responsible for the deaths of millions that continue to peddle poison in spite of lawsuits and public outcry. When their victim-patients can't afford to continue their legal heroin they resort to street heroine which destroys all they hold dear and necessary for life. Don't get injections or surgery. Find out all you can about the source of pain and focus every kind of care in it. No one else can do thus for you.

❤ Great news!

What? You were referred to a specialist who gets it?! Well your old PCP did one thing right! 😂 So happy to hear you are moving in a positive direction now.

❤

Good luck! I hope it helps.
