I love those pumpkins, so beautiful!

[@littletraumamama]

Thank you 😊

Love your pupkins!🎃

That blanket is beautiful

Love the comment about getting up, dressed, make-up, etc is spot on. I workfromhome Every. Single. Day. I do the same thing and am much more productive. Enjoy your channel. I've been in Healthcare for 27 years so your content is so relatable. Keep it up.

[@littletraumamama]

Thank you! 27 years is a long time!

[@pk104mlb]

@littletraumamama I relate to you in so many ways too. I live in VA now but graduated from Ft. Payne High.

[@Secondhandlegs]

Look at you, thriving girl!

[@jessicamobley8847]

Christy, this intro made me cry. Today has been a dark day. Actually, this whole week has been rough, but this was a great reminder (again) that it won't always be this hard! Thank you!
Your voice overs are amazing! And, I really do not want you to feel guilty about applying for disability! There are people who apply for disability for stupid shit and get it. You deserve it, my friend! You worked hard for many years as a medic and sacrificed so much AND you're dealing with implications from a serious injury. The fact that you were denied the first time is utterly ridiculous to me. I'm glad you brought up the fact that you have to rest your neck after an hour or two. When I asked for a DITL, I wanted to see how your injuries have affected your daily life and also just what a day looks like for you for fun. Before my surgery, I used to have to lay down every couple of hours. It was super frustrating, so I understand your frustration.

[@littletraumamama]

I’m so sorry you’ve had such an awful week! It won’t always be this hard, BUT that doesn’t mean it doesn’t f*cking suck right now! You’ve come through so much and with such an amazing attitude- you inspire ME, friend 🫶🏻

[@jessicamobley8847]

@@littletraumamama you are so sweet! Thank you! 🫶

[@suzie830]

Wow. Your video making skills are awesome! You've got talent, and your content doesn't disappoint ❤

[@ButFirstCoffeeSuzyOberholtz]

After all my 42 chemo treatments I can only stay upright short times. I literally have to lay down. If not I am down the next day. Like I slept all day after Christmas

[@littletraumamama]

I was going to email you today! I got your card yesterday and OMG I LOVE IT!! Thank you SO much, Suzy! I will treasure that card for years to come ♥️

[@elainedodd1345]

You are amazing x

[@Griffinand3]

YOU DESERVE DISABILITY! Never feel guilty about applying! They should have already given it to you! Great video! Happy New Year!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@lindacrews9340]

Enjoyed your day in the life . Those pumpkins are beautiful. Bailey is a case 😂

[@littletraumamama]

Bailey is definitely….. something…. Lol!

[@peachxtaehyung]

The makeup you put on during this is beautiful on you Christy! I wish I could look good with that kind... For me I have to have on natural or brown type eye makeup besides mascara and liner which I prefer in black

[@littletraumamama]

Thank you! I think a lot of it is the skin softening effect that the Sony zv-1f has because it doesn’t look that good in person!

[@lauraelliott6909]

4:00 Christy, I love my grey hairs, too. It feels like very shiny highlights. I tell people it's glitter, growing straight outta my head.

[@littletraumamama]

I love that!

[@terrythomas7035]

I think your doing a great job

[@Samantha-hp1oq]

You are an inspiration!!❤❤❤

[@littletraumamama]

Thank you 🥹

[@RockinStacy]

Wishing you and Lee a very Happy New Year!

[@littletraumamama]

Happy new year!

[@paisleydreamzz]

I know it’s not the same, but after my stroke(pontine, husband didn’t call 911, can live alone) I had to learn to schedule naps(rest) into my day. It was very humbling. Anyway, after that making changes was much easier when I kept my top 1-2 goals in mind. Love your bird😁

[@terrythomas7035]

You look so pretty

[@littletraumamama]

Thank you 😊

[@barbc.3093]

Christy, I have to tell you that you're doing an excellent job at your d.i.t.l.! I really appreciate your content because I'm a medically retired RN and on permanent disability for 12 years now. I almost feel like I'm getting worse after so long on this and trying to find the interest in anything. I have permanent back problems and Fibromyalgia for a couple examples. I'm going to keep trying to find my daily why, so I can start doing for myself also to feel better. Thanks for your channel and all the hard work you put into it. You and Lee are so fortunate to have each other ❤

[@littletraumamama]

I am definitely fortunate to have someone like him in my life. I hope you find your ‘why’ soon so you can get back to enjoying life! I know it’s so hard when you’re struggling, though 😔

[@suzie830]

By the way, Bailey is a hoot! ❤😂

[@omadeitz3340]

I get it with the frustrating feelings. I had the muscles in my back ripped away from my spine. People dont see the issue but i can only stand for maybe an hour and i am in severe pain for the rest of the day. If i fall, get hit in my back its back in the wheelchair for me. I fought for a year to get out of it. I love the pumpkins.

[@littletraumamama]

Ouch! Yeah, that definitely sounds painful!

[@dawnaw1434]

Christy, look how far you've come! 🙂 If you're thinkin about applying for Social Security, the best one to apply for is: S.S.D.I, not S.S.I. according to my cousin whose son is on S.S.D.I (he has a T.B.I. because he was hit by a car several years ago) he gets more money and a person can work as many hours as they want and not be penalized, where you will be, if you're on S.S.I. Thought you might like to know that. BTW I like the music in the background.

[@littletraumamama]

I applied for SSDI almost 2 years ago. I was denied after a year, so now I have a lawyer. We’ve been in the appeal process for months now 😔

[@dawnaw1434]

@@littletraumamama They're "slow as a turtle." You just have to keep on top of it, no matter how frustrating it may be.

[@phillycatlady]

@@littletraumamamayears ago,with much less disability than you, I went thru the process. There are precious few who get it on the first try, but a friend who had a stroke did, perhaps because he had diabetes also, and needed almost full time assistance. I had to have a one to one meeting with a lawyer/judge after the first rejection and was extremely lucky that he considered my answer to “why can’t you do computer programming anymore?” acceptable . I wasn’t coached, just annoyed, and said “if you understand programming so well, you know that it requires intense thinking. I can’t think when my pain level (from back) rises. I also can’t sit for longer than about 20 minutes.”
After being on ssdi for a while, and doing part time consulting, I lost ssdi and reverted to the Ltd of my former employer ( again, EXTREMELY lucky to have it). Eventually, they provided a lawyer to take me thru the appeal process. I won but not without having to appear in open court and listen to the judge categorize me as being in “early old age” ( I was at most 50). I wanted to loudly protest, but my lawyer told me to shut up! It was a humiliating process from start to finish, and this was in the late 80s-90s. Now it’s even harder to win ssdi rulings, so stay strong. It will test your patience.

[@TxPinkRosie]

Oliver’s eyes replied “WTH do I think about Bailey”? lol

[@littletraumamama]

Yeah, he’s definitely not impressed and gets mad when Bailey flies 😬

[@terrythomas7035]

That is too cuteb

[@ButFirstCoffeeSuzyOberholtz]

Ohhh btw I bought the nail stuff but haven’t done it yet, I will soon

[@littletraumamama]

Oh yay! Make sure you watch those videos I linked in the mail video I did because those were definitely fake changers for me!

[@peachxtaehyung]

9:40 i feel that christy. I cant work a "normal" job and have to depend on like disability checks and hopefully one day youtube because i cant stay sitting up all day or night working no matter what it is doing. I HAVE to be able to lay down regularly for at least an hour at a time or so to rest my back

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Hang in there, Peach.

[@peachxtaehyung]

@@a.w.thompson4001 thank you i will 💙

[@littletraumamama]

I wonder why you’re not having more luck with TH-cam? I’ve seen bits and pieces of your videos, and although it’s not my genre, they seem to be well done and I feel like they’d do well with the right audience.

[@peachxtaehyung]

@@littletraumamama thank you!! That means a lot! Unfortunately some in the kpop TH-cam genre there's some who don't get much attention really unfortunately it seems that I'm one of them. But I now have started a buymeacoffee so hopefully some people join or donate one day soon to that so that helps us out 💖 i guess it's just a good thing i love doing my videos despite doing it for free lol

[@terrythomas7035]

How do you take your nails off when done

[@littletraumamama]

I soak them in acetone with coconut oil in a ziplock bag. Then I seal the ziplock bag around my wrist and set my hand in a bowl of hot water. Takes about 10-15 min.

[@belvianester6241]

I love your hair how long r u going to grow it

[@littletraumamama]

I don’t think I really want it any longer than it is now. As it is now, I have to have the underneath shaved off because it’s SO thick which makes it harder to dry and style.

[@peachxtaehyung]

​@@littletraumamama I feel that. My hair is sooo thick. It gets where I can't really brush or wash it well

[@a.w.thompson4001]

I've the opposite... always had thin hair, and now it's receding a bit and my bangs don't cover my forehead. "The grass is always greener on the other side." 😉

Loved this video and found it a great mix of content. You seem to get more done in a day than you think you do! I wouldn't have a clue how to do the editing and was very interested in your process. Just think of how much you have learned to do in only a year. Very impressive. The 'guests' on your show both four legged and two were a delight as always. 🐐🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺 and 🦸‍♂🚑 💅❤❤

[@littletraumamama]

Haha thank you! I have definitely learned so much this year. I’m thinking about doing a video reflecting on just what all I have learned through all of this.
