Hi Kim, I’m so glad you commented on my last video so that I could come immediately here and be thoroughly en grossed by this video. I also have mobility issues and almost fell a few times this past week. I also have had fibromyalgia before it had a name. I think it was called fibrositis. I am fortunate that my mother was skeptical of doctors and because of that I’m one of the few of my generation who still has tonsils and adenoids. They were considered to be not necessary and Causing medical issues for children. Now we know that everything in our body is useful, including our wisdom teeth unless of course, there are infected. Now my doctor just want me to get a total hip replacement, but I know my own body, and I prefer to hobble around on my cane and do physical therapy instead of a major surgery that might because of my other medical issues might be a bad choice for me. I will make sure I don’t miss any of your videos. Aloha friend.
@@MarilynMayaMendoza Oh, no worries, Marilyn! Hope you're starting to relax after the wedding. One of my daughters got married last year at City Hall in San Francisco, and it was beautiful and fun, but yes, events like that can be a bit stressful, too. Fibromyalgia is one of several things I've been diagnosed with through the years - along with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, etc. Do I actually have all of these? Highly doubtful, but the doctors like to argue about it. 🙄☺️ I still have my tonsils. 😁 I think it was being phased out when I was young, but also, other than a few vaccinations when I was a toddler, I never went to the doctor until I was 21 and pregnant. 😂 Oh, and I agree about not getting a hip replacement if at all possible. I actually broke my hip last year, but it healed on its own in about two months. 😎
I fall too from time to time too, recovering from a broken ankle from said accident. Love ducks! I read the world in 7 shipwrecks which was both the shipwreck and world history, but i did want more on the actual shipwreck. The plague books sounds like something i would read for sure!
@@Bookishtravels1 Oh, hope your ankle is healing well for you! That's a tough one! That 'Shipwrecks' book sounds great! I already have 'The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder' by David Grann stacked up nearby.... 😁
Hope your rib and wrist are better. I only had one non-fiction book on my November TBR about Amazing Legends of the Old West. The plagues in Medieval Europe were decimating but led to the Renaissance.
@@jimsbooksreadingandstuff Thanks, Jim! They're healing up a bit more every day. 😊 You're exactly right about the plagues leading to the Renaissance! Kennedy makes the point that these devastating diseases that wiped out so much life also led to fresh starts and great advances. I'd love to know the author of the Old West book you're planning to read. I collect Old West books, as I'm fascinated by the time period. I'm actually writing a book set in the 1850s Gold Rush of northern California (where I happen to live). 😎
@@WildHeartsandWildflowers The book I have doesn't have a single author it is "True Tales and Amazing Legends of the Old West" from the editors of True West Magazine. Published by Clarkson Potter in 2005.
Oh, Kim! I'm so sorry to hear about your fall and your duck's injury. Glad the two of you are going to be okay. I love the idea of Nonfiction November. 😀 I can't remember the last nonfiction I read from beginning to end. I do read a lot of NF, but I tend to jump around a lot in NF books. They are usually self-improvement types, health-related, or gardening books, and I kind of skip back and forth to whichever section I'm interested in at the moment. The Pathogenesis book sounds very interesting and I enjoyed your summary of bacteria and viruses. Natural Causes sounds very intriguing, too. I appreciated hearing your take on the status of medicine, health care, etc, in the U.S, and I agree with you. It seems to be in anyone's best interest to always get a second or even third, opinion. It's almost as if we have to be so pushy and advocate for ourselves (and our loved ones), because sometimes no one else will, and medical care is driven so heavily by profit. Thanks for sharing your reads, and I hope you're having a great week!
Hi, Angela, and thank you! I'm doing a little better every day. I'm still hoping Daisy will make it. She's in good spirits anyway. I can't do much turning or bending right now, so several of my fall garden projects are on hold, but I definitely need to bring in my young tropical trees asap. The temp is supposed to drop down to 39° tomorrow night - even though it was mid-70°s yesterday afternoon! Anyway, this is my Book channel, so about books, yes, I also tend to jump around in my garden books based on topic. I do love reading a good nature book from start to finish though, and I read several good conservation ones this past year. I need to do a video focused on them in the spring! I'm really enjoying both 'Pathogenesis' and 'Natural Causes,' and I'm very excited to read 'The Possibility of Life' next! 😁
What are some interesting nonfiction books you've read recently? 📚📚📚 I'm always glad to hear people's personal recommendations! 😎

@@Littlebiglibrary Hi! 🙋♀️ Glad to meet you and have you join me. 😊 I see you love history, too. Fantastic!
Hope you are okay? For you and your duck :) Thanks for the overview on what you read from the non-fiction!
@@coffee_cookies_books Thank you! Daisy (the Duck) and I are both doing a little better each day. 😊
