Someone's already mentioned but Harlow jumping up and put her weight on you is Deep Pressure Therapy! It's a way to decrease anxiety and such. She likely sensed your panic/anxiety/feelings and went "must help!" I know things have been hard lately but I hope you feel a little better soon. I'm thinking of you!!!
Terry-Lynn She knows... she trained her but thats just an instinct.
Disney Gamer oh! I wasn't sure, it was just her surprise about the comment that made me think it was a first time thing or something. Thank you for letting me know/correcting me!
Terry-Lynn You're welcome... hope I wasn't mean... sometimes it comes out wrong.
Disney Gamer no problem! It didn't come across mean, you just let me know she trained her for it. : ) I hope you have a good day! ^^
Terry-Lynn Thankyou. I hope your day is good too!
Jaquie: “I’m having a moment.”
Harlow: “noT IF I CAN HELP IT”
SignOfTheStorm YES!
But I need to take care of youuuuuu! 🐕❤️
I believe that Harlow initiated Deep Pressure Therapy.
Harlow is such a good dog and is so in tune to you. She knew you weren't feeling good and you were upset and she came right to you so you weren't alone. She's just amazing and she loves you so much. You couldn't ask for a better companion.
I think Harlow could tell you were getting upset and climbed up on the couch with you to distract you. Not only is she a service dog but a self-taught therapy dog😊😊
Harlow knows you are not your cheery self so even tho she isn't suppose to be on couch unless you tell her to she did it to make u feel better
Monica Ravinera yeah she wanted to comfort her but also same time she isn't allowed on the couch so she was scared (you can see by the look of her face) but she risked it to make sure her mommy is OK and to make her feel better! she's so cute!!! :)
kpopfan forever77 i know Harlow isn't allowed on couch without her permission and risked it to cheer her mom up also when Jacquie said she was hsving a moment but seconds later Harlow was on couch with her
Monica Ravinera i know you do. I didn't say you didn't lol. I was just saying how cute it was that she knew she wasn't supposed to be up there but she still risked it just to make sure her momma is OK. I wasnt telling you any of that I just said it was cute lmao
kpopfan forever77 it is cute tho and Harlow thinking what did I do wrong lol
I contracted MRSA after a serious scald on my leg. Ended up in a specialist burns hospital for 3 weeks on numerous IV antibiotics, and had to have 3 surgeries including skin grafts. Thankfully I eventually recovered but I've been told now that I carry it so have to be really careful with even minor scratches and cuts, thankfully haven't had a recurrence of it in last 4 years.
Hopefully the antibiotics you're being given will get rid of it and it won't become any worse.
Harlow hears 'overwhelmed' and responds with "PUP CUDDLES CAN FIX IT" ❤️ praying for you, so thankful you have Harlow and her wonderful if sometimes a bit crazy antics to comfort you. xx
OMG, girl!! You are entitled to be overwhelmed! I was thrown by one of my horses ten years ago this coming January. Landed 5-6 feet in front of her on my left hip. Was trying to save my back, neck, and two artificial knees. Couldn't move my left leg or put weight on it. ER x-rays didn't show anything but an MRI two months later showed two pelvic fractures and a lower back fracture. Doc said I should have been on total bed rest for 12 weeks. I had been driving an hour to work, nine hours at a desk, hour drive home, helping to mend fences, put in stalls and automatic waterers, unload 110 lb bales of hay, and feed the horses. All while on crutches. I now deal with hip, groin, pelvic, and back pain as well as spasms and my left leg goes numb. Has recently felt like my thigh is on fire, too. I'm on four morphines, three gabapentins, three tramadols, and two OTC Naproxyns every day. They just take the edge off. I am having a neurostimulator implanted on the 20th. It'll be a week long trial and, if it works, I'll have the permanent one implanted in a few weeks. Then I can hopefully reduce my medications!!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer October last year. Was caught early with 3D imaging and removed in surgery. They said it was small and a regular mammogram would not have seen it for years. Thankfully it hadn't spread to my lymph nodes but no telling how far it could have spread in a few years! Had 32 radiation treatments and would fall asleep sitting up. I still do. Figured it could still be partly due to my treatments but also my meds. I even doze off a few times typing comments! It's been crazy. Don't know how you do this all the time!
I walk with a cane and have lost my balance. I fell backwards earlier tonight and hoped I was going to make it to the bed before I went down. I caught the edge and one of our five big dogs was laying there. As I was trying not to go down I told her to move a few times. I did land on part of her and so glad I didn't hurt her. Our Doberman/Irish Wolfhound mix loves to lean against me or lay across my lap when I'm on the bed watching TV. He's definitely is not a lap dog either. So watching Harlow get up on the couch and in your lap was priceless. I thought maybe she was reacting to you saying you were overwhelmed, letting out a big breath, and rubbing your face. The connection you two have is wonderful. I hope the antibiotics take care of the MRSA. That's all you need!!
Take care of yourself and have a great Thanksgiving. Will have to try that recipe. Looked good!
Hang in there. You are doing everything u can. I'm sending hugs and prayers to u and your family.
That was deep pressure therapy Harlow style it helps with overwhelm and anxiety
Des Mowadeng Harlow was preventing her from standing so she wouldn't fall, it wasn't DPT.
Kool either way its really neat and I just associated what Harlow was doing with her being anxious and upset as Harlow did it :)
I love your attitude towards chronic illness and life in general. You really help me deal with my own. So many people in my life think that I should just suck it up and get with the game. I just cannot do more than I am doing already and you help me to stop beating myself up and start accepting it and dealing with it objectively. Thank you, Jaquie! You've got what it takes to win at this!
Sending warm hugs and well wishes from Cincinnati. Harlow is undeniably in tune with you. Such concern and love. Were all with you in spirit.
Thank you Harlow for being pure love ♡
I am so happy that you can tolerate your new formula. It's definitely a blessing.
I totally get the frustration you must feel with trying to deal with so many varied health issues. Set backs and new problems cropping up take the frustration to whole new level. But we fight on and we cope and we shed a few tears and you are moving ahead with the right attitude. I may not be able to help or provide any tangible support to you but I think you are a brave young woman and I admire your resilience and attitude. God Bless..
Jackie no matter what happens we, the viewers and commenters are always there for you. We support you with everything
Thank you for sharing the ups and downs of your life. You give courage and hope to us all and I am grateful I found you 💞
Thank YOU for embracing all parts of our life, good and bad (:
I understand it's overwhelming, but I do think you're lucky that the MRSA has stayed in your toe - I've heard that a way it gets serious is if it enters the body via a port or feeding tube stoma. Obviously that won't be an issue now that you're taking precautions, but it's a good thing that it didn't infect your port or tube before you realised.
Jenna Bukowski she has a suppressed immune system, feeding tube issues and chronic pain. Staying out of hospitals is not an option, skipping appointments could be detrimental and skipping antibiotics would only make matters worse. She needs to do what works for her and what her doctors think is best. I don't see MD at the end of your name 🤔
Jenna Bukowski She can’t stop her medical care to avoid hospitals though. That would just make matters worse for her overall health.
I just realized that every vlog makes me smile. Harlow's eyes are enough to make your day better, especially when she kind of bounces her eyebrows, if you know what I mean! Jaquie, stay positive after all, you need it and everyone in here needs it as well.
Years ago I found out I had MRSA while in the ICU. Later I was told I probably had it long before they tested for it because I spent so much time in the hospital. I've had many doctors tell me that doctors, nurses and other hospital staff never test themselves for it because they all know there's a very good chance they are also positive. I'm from Canada and have only ever heard one other person pronounce it the way you did. It's usually called each letter here. If you practically live in the hospital you should be surprised if you DON'T have it!
Thanks so much for all of your videos. My daughter and I watch daily. She was just diagnosed with EDS last week, and you have been there for her through the journey. I think you are such an inspiration and your attitude helps others stay positive.
Tammy Jewell You should watch Christina Doherty at Vlogging with EDS. She is lovely and very upbeat.
Thank you so much for vlogging the difficult moments too. I am also autistic and I’ve been really struggling with my mental health at the moment. The way you accept your emotions, and do what you need to do to soothe them as best as possible is so inspiring to me! Really hope that things are less overwhelming today ❤️
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a hard time right now. Please try to relax and not be so hard on yourself. MRSA is really serious, I'm very sorry to hear that you have gotten this shit bacteria but I hope that you can recover ASAP. Don't push yourself too hard, take it easy and focus on recovery.
Please don’t be hard on yourself, Jaquie. You are doing everything exactly as you’re supposed to be doing. It’s your faulty immune system’s, that, as you’re well aware, you did absolutely nothing to do to cause. Advice from one spoonie to another that I sometimes have a hard time reminding myself of. Sending prayers that things start improving for you.
Sorry you are having such a rough time :( I’m glad you are taking care of yourself and I️ hope things improve soon!
Harlow knew you were feeling overwhelmed! Shes absolutely adorable and so in tune with you. Cutest thing ever.
Take care of yourself. I pray that all will be better day for ya Jaquie. Do not ever give up on yourself! We all love you, Judd, Janiece, Paul. Yodi... Orion and sweet Harlow. Hugs..prayers..love y'all
Harlow knew you were feeling overwhelmed. God bless you! Hope you feel much better soon💗
Get well soon Jaquie
Harlow is the best service dog. Knowing that you were overwhelmed and immediately come to you, even breaking a rule, for your greater good. So glad you treat her well 💕💕💕💕love your vlogs. Keep strong jaq.
Keep on keeping strong!! Harlow jumped up there because she knew you needed her. One of my services dogs tasks is to mediate panic, anxiety, and stress, so if she senses I’m struggling or overwhelmed she’ll jump up on my lap and do pressure therapy. Harlow is such a beautiful girl!
Aw. That was a sweet moment. Harlow obviously saw you needed her to literally smother you with love. 🐶😍 She is one impressive fur baby.
Hi Jaquie. Sorry you are having such problems with your health. feel better soon.
That was so cute Harlow jumping on the couch, even though she's not always allowed, she saw you were upset and wanted to help you feel better.
Been through the MRSA stuff, too. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Love and hugs to you.
Jaqi, she was reading your stress and anxiety when she got on the coach that is intelligent disobedience at it finest good dog Harlow
I’m praying for you! Lots of love to you my dear.💖
So sweet how Harlow sensed you being overwhelmed on the couch just by your voice change and he came to help you. I love that so much!! He obviously adores you!
Sending lots of love your way Jaquie! I can definitely understand your frustrations and letting them out can really help some of the frustration ease. Harlow was adorable in today’s vlog as well. 💛
Oh darling! What a bummer! It CAN be beaten sweetie and I’ll cheer you on from London. I’m a chronic pain warrior and I do understand xxxxxxxx
I love how Harlow gets all “you need a cuddle hooman, don’t complain, I know what’s best for you!”
Such a sweet and smart dog :)
Feel better soon Jacquie!!!
Thank you so much for all your videos. I have fibromyalgia and some days the pain makes it so hard to function and deal with, but your attitude and positivity are so inspiring.
That is so awesome how Harlow can get things from the fridge! Keep up the good work, warrior!
Poblecita Mija, MRSA ain't nuttin to play with, and I'll almost bet you caught it from being in the E.R. and in-patient in the hospital so much. It runs rampant in most hospitals (I used to be a paramedic so I know what I'm talking about). Anyhow, I know you'll do what your docs have told you to do as far as treatment and aseptic techniques, etc. I've watched you for almost a year now and I'm proud of you and especially how professional you are when doing dressing changes, port changes, etc...Kudos, bigtime! And you are definitely allowed to have mini freakouts, which is what I call mine. God knows it's impossible to be strong ALL the time, especially when SHTF, so to speak. I am an old granny and so we have a saying, "When it rains, it pours" but I go one further and add, "so get on your rain boots and hang onto something sturdy cuz it's about to get real interesting", lol. With all you've been through in these years, this stuff is just a bend in the road. The blessings here are many though, you are well schooled in how to deal with this stuff and are granted the strength with which to do that when you need to (when nobody else is there with you, except beloved and amazing Harlow), and you have a wonderful and patient husband who adores you, and really great mamasita del linda e papi chulo (j/k no disrespect intended, they're the best!) and lastly you have the most amazing and attentive dog that you trained and God gifted to you. All in all, I'd say, YOU GOT THIS! Rock on, girl, you're doing fine. And we appreciate seeing someone else who's dealing with a bunch of junk, like we all are. :) Smile, people will wonder what you're up to, lol
I have been showing your channel to all of my friends and last week i showed a video to my mom. And i must have been really excited to explain your channel to her cause she got me one of your shirts and i just got it last night. So i think you know what im wearing today!!! 😄😁
Hang in there Jaquie! I just got bumped to 5x a week infusions which means keeping my port accessed for multiple days, something I've never done. Last night was my first night sleeping with my port accessed and it went okay! I have to give some credit to my new Gripper Micro needles because they are amazing! They just leave a catheter behind in your port, no needles!
I also am having a hard morning as I slept through one of my classes, woke up to use the restroom, fainted, and wound up soiling myself. I'm feeling very fragile, but being able to watch you persevere makes me feel like I can do it too!
I was a little confused for a second when you said "Mersa", here in the UK we just say the letters MRSA. Funny how many differences there are even in medical terms xD Feel better soon! x
Yes, saying the letters is correct - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus - that's where the letters come from.
HelixShape in America we don't say the letters though. That's why.
Lauren Coombes Very good to know! Even our doctors pronounce it "Mersa"! If we said "M>R>S>A", they would look at us funny. I guess we like to turn everyrhing into slang?!
This is an interesting point. I am a longtime ICU nurse and we say MRSA. We don't use "Mersa" at our hospital and I am located in America.
@Hannah Fox, since this video, we took an "informal poll" at our hospital, and about 40% of the doctors said "Mersa", and more patients than medical professionals also tend to use it. So I am assuming it originated from patient slang?
hang in there you got this never give up sending prayers to you
Love you Jackie stay strong and soft hugs
Harlow jumping on the couch to comfort you.❤
I'm so sorry to hear that you have MRSA. I have been in the hospital for over six years because of injuries received in a house fire. Because of two autoimmune disorders diagnosed before the fire and the fire doing damage to my immune system, I am now colonized with MRSA. Every 6-8 weeks, I have to spend 2-3 weeks in Infectious Disease Isolation. You are very fortunate that the infection seems to have stayed in your toe. The infection goes systemically so quickly. Any opening in your skin, especially your Central Line port and your stoma are an easy entry site, even with the scrupulous care you take to keep them clean. Wishing you a speedy recovery so you can continue with your exciting progress.
It amazes me the connection Harlow has to you.When you said you were overwhelmed it was like she said Ok emergency i'm getting up there with her.I cared for a sister with MRSA and the infectious disease specialist said most of us have MRSA on our skin,but it's when a person has an open wound or immune system problems thats when it makes you sick
I had MRSA last year after frequent hospital stays for infected eczema. I'm in the UK btw. It wasn't too bad for me. I had to be in a separate hospital room for IV's, but it worked out fine in the end. Keep fighting and big hugs xx
You have trained Harlow to react to your emotions and how you feel. She was just doing what was necessary. Helping you feel better.
So sorry sweetie. I am recovering from getting c-diff this fall. These bad bugs are horrible for us. Gentle hugs and prayers for you.
I hope you get over the MRSA soon!
Hugs! It all will sort it self out.
Bless your heart. You are brave ❤
I got scared when I saw the title! It's ok to have those moments of feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes as chronic illness warriors it all hits us at once! The most important thing to do is keep moving forward! Btw that dish looks delicious
Keep moving forward Jaquie!!!!
You’ve got this Jaquie ❤️
I have MRSA aswell right now. This is my 3rd go around with it. But you can get through this! Super cute when Harlow got in you're lap. Our animals know when we aren't at our best. My dog does the same thing he's just not that big lol. Sending you lots of prayers
Hope the antibiotics do the trick! Love love love Harlow! I have a cat who can predict my low blood sugar, she must somehow know my shaking means that. She is my constant companion. She is 11 and from kitten hood on she senses me not feeling well. She insists on laying on my chest when I need to calm down. Wish she could open the fridge to get my o j! My hubby is often working many hours and away, she is a joy-to keep me company.feel better ASAP! Di
I've been here since at least april, and I totally understand the overwhelming factor that happens when everything goes wrong. I had a persistent MRSA infection from a hospital, I hope they get you the right antibiotics.
So sorry to hear about MRSA :( I hope you are feeling less stressed today!
I hope the MRSA clears up with the antibiotics. My allergic reactions always flare up when I am fighting an infection, so hopefully they will fade out again soon. Everyone has days where things get too them, but letting your emotions flow is the best way to allow you to then keep going! X
Sending you tons of healing vibes sweetheart! My MRSA was sober I lost my legs,but not to scare you my immune system is shot along with uncontrolled diabetes at the time too. But you area warrior and you got this!! Love you!!!
I have MRSA too! I Got my first infection when I was 15 and have been getting them every couple of months ever since.
Sometimes I have flare and will get them back to back or multiple at a time.
It's such a painful and frustrating thing to deal with.
I suggest washing with hibicleanse (or any other medical grade anti-septic skin cleaner) daily. That has helped me reduce the amount of infections I get from being unable to fight off staphylococcus.
there was no music in the end. Nice video. Dinner looked very tasty. Harlow was very sweet I love her. And you'll get through it. You're a strong woman!!
I have had MRSA in my back before. It’s nasty but you will get through it... Just remember to breathe and pray! God will take care of you, sweetheart!
Goldens are goofy because they want to comfort us!
Harlow knows that you needed her. She is a good dog.
So sorry you’re getting hit by everything at once. The way Harlow was so in tune with how you were feeling emotionally was touching to witness. Does she do that often? I know for me when I’m not feeling well, as soon as my dog cuddles me, all my stress vanishes. I guess it’s the physical contact. Things will improve soon. I’m sure of it. Take care
Harlow is like screw the rules my human is upset and needs my love and suppot right now
I've commented here before but I just wanted to say I know how you feel. I have a rip in my back down to my spine. I've had dozens of surgeries and it never heals properly and rips open or never closes. It's become 5 years now. I don't even physically sit anymore just stand and lay and it still messes up. I had a huge huge surgery and it was supposed to be the last one. But yesterday it ripped open again.... I've lost all my life to this. I couldn't go to high school and I can't go to college and I can't work. I'm stuck inside my house and hospitals. Can't even go outside to get fresh air because there are steps I can't do. Life is so unfair. But oh well. We will be strong and move on.
Yippi!! Almost the goal rate!! I'm soooo proud of u. I can't wait till u go on day feeds. I'm sure u will have a lot of relief from day feeds by not hearing that beeping sounds.
Hippo is soooo adorable. She knows that u were frustrated so she came on the couch and put all her weight on u. Sooo cute.
So only Judd is the one without MRSA now. Lol.
Hi Jaquie, Harlow🐶, I know he love the interaction between the two of you. It's all so clear what makes Harlow happy is making you happy. even though I don't have a Harlow? I noticed that same thing with my puppy Izzy😊. Jaquie we all think you're wonderful! excuse me for saying, your journey has touched us in a way that is medicine for our hearts? hope I didn't offend anyone? nevertheless thank you for sharing Jaquie.
Harlow was so funny jumping on the couch...maybe she sensed how tense and overwhelmed you were
Harlow is instinctively doing Deep Pressure Therapy. Lots of service dogs do it for things like PTSD, anxiety, to stop self harming behaviour, seizures or syncope.
Unrelated, but that thumbnail made my day. Your cringe face is so cute haha. Hoping everything gets resolved quickly
Hey, I hope the mrsa thing Will soon only be a memory. Harlow is very wonderful and super cute! Cheers
I'm sorry about the MRSA, I have cerebral palsy, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and many other conditions. When I had staph years ago nothing prescribed worked so I treated myself with CBD oil and all traces of the infection cleared shortly after that. As for the cutie Harlow, I've seen other dogs do that before. If they sense true discomfort, sometimes they'll disobey the usual rules to help their human. She's saying "Yeah it breaks a rule, but I love you and I want you to feel better!"
I had MRSA when I was little so I hope you feel better!
Just wanted to say I like your videos- you are super encouraging even when you are dealing with multiple health set backs and talking about your frustrations. Sending you some good vibes and this hedgehog emoji ➡️ 🦔. Cause it’s cute!
Hey jaquie I had mrsa when I was little but I managed to fight it off. Apparently that is very good. I hope you manage to fight it too so we can both be mrsa overcomers
Oh no! I'm so sorry, we just read an article on it in class and it was soooo sad.
Mrsa can be easily picked up at hospitals. I believe when i had my nissen fundoplication surgery in '07 for acid reflux, when i was readmitted to the same hospital 1.5 days after discharge for a post op illeus. The nurse came in with something on 2 wooden q-tips and shoved them up ea nostril. It was very uncomfortable & burned. She said it was to prevent mrsa. I got the q-tip treatment because i had 2 hospital admissions so close together. I hope you get some relief. I had an ingrown shard of my toenail removed almost a year and a half ago. I have had sudden sharp like an electric shock feeling hit my toe. I didn't get the chemical that is supposed to prevent the nail from growing. I think you can still develop an ingrown toenail eventually even if they apply that stuff to stop ingrown nails
love Goldens. our current one is a therapy dog and so lovable and loves to work. harlow is great!
Hippo was deffenitly doing a "distraction" that some dogs do for anxiety. She could tell something wasn't right when you were overwhelmed! Such a good pup pup.
Hae-won Lee It's highly likely she was simply preventing Jaquie from standing (to prevent more falls).
Oh goodness momma Jaq please be careful! My grandpa had gotten MRSA from the burn icu and it got pretty bad ;-; praying for you
yikes!!! thats scary but I have faith you will get better very soon!!! good luck girl!!! I'll be praying for you lots! and wow that chicken meal looked amazing! too bad I can't swallow meats especially chicken and pork nowadays for whatever reason :'(
I’ve had mrsa three times in the last year and a half . Once you have it you carry it so be careful !
I loved watching you cook. Hippo is such a good dog with breaking rules to come do some deep pressure therapy to calm you. I have a psychiatric service dog in training and he lays on my chest and face to calm me down. Love you so much.
I don't use Benadryl since it makes me very drowsy, but to the point where I feel sick, not tired. So I take Ibuprofen usually, but I have to take a higher dose to get any relief. And since my knee pain is coming back (I had surgery for Plica Syndrome in Feb) I don't want to overuse the Ibuprofen, since it barely helps anyways. So yea, it's frustrating, but we'll keep moving forward
I am disabled and my wife has bipolar and epilepsy. Know it's not the same. Stay strong!
I love Harlow. So beautiful,, cute and smart. You are lucky to have her. Feel better soon! 😊
Dont feel bad....MRSA is NOT YOUR FAULT. Its just the nature od the beast. As a nurse I can tell you its not your fault but your doing everything right!
You are awesome!
MRSA actually lives on our skin in usually a healthy, balanced manor. Every single person would test positive for it, and usually it's not in an active stage. I got MRSA after a biopsy was done on my back and yeah it was a couple weeks of antibiotics and my hubby having to help me with it, but it did clear up. Just hang in there. You'll make it through this.
So I would just like you to know that you have helped me immensely! I have a lot of issues. Immunoglobulin deficiency (I get ivig for that and I'm going on a year of it and my levels are still low), IBS, pelvic pain, daily pain from my kidneys (I had kidney failure in 2012 and the pain never went away), chronic joint pain, bad asthma, and something else wrong with my lungs and heart (I'm on oxygen almost constantly and I have a very fast heart rate that gets worse as my oxygen goes down. Add in depression, a panic disorder and ptsd and I'm generally a wreck. I feel very guilty about the fact that my family and boyfriend have to change their lives to fit around me. I just came to terms with that fact that I do battle chronic illnesses and it's not my fault. The only reason I came to terms with that is because of you. So I would just like to say thank you. It has taken a lot of pressure and guilt off me. So thank you Jaquie for sharing your story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
