Good things from yesterday
🕑 Added 2022-10-21 18:00:52 +0000 UTCI wanted to start off today by talking about good things. My beautiful friend Shelby you may know her as Chocolate Yoga, sent me a bottle of this cramp bark to help with the pain. She went to school in Iowa for Ayurvedic medicine. It’s incredible! If you still have a uterus, if you love somebody who has a uterus, and they’re experiencing pain around menstruation or endometriosis, this has been a wonderful addition when I don’t feel like taking heavier drugs it helps a lot.
I was able to go out to breakfast today with Memphis and Oliver and have been able to spend some time with my son Miles. He’s going to come out here today and spend more time with me. It’s such a beautiful thing to have children. They’re both incredible and then when they fall in love with someone, it’s like you get extra children And that’s such a blessing as well. So I’m thankful for my children and for their partners. My son Miles has been going through a lot himself, all the kids have, all the world has… But there’s something beautiful and unique about having a son. As a mother it gives you a completely different perspective on life. I’m sure he has no basis to comprehend what I’m going through but he’s present and available to learn, help, bring me food, sit and talk with me etc. I’m not sure if I mentioned this in my last post but when Miles was younger we got a dog together named Vida Bohème and she still around, alive and Kickin and doing great, living with Miles and Amy. My son Miles and his partner Amy brought Vida out to the house The other day and I realized I didn’t even take any photographs of her. Next time she comes out I will. There’s nothing like being surrounded by puppies. I love dogs, it’s funny because I was terrified of dogs as a small child but have grown to love them and need them in my life. Miles and memphis both have lots of pets and it’s so exciting when I can go to their house or when they can bring them over to my house. So we’ve just spent a lot of time around the animals, as much as possible. I’m thankful to have a son because it gives me a new perspective on life. It helps me appreciate the inns and outs, life struggles and feelings of young men right now. I’m so proud of him, the way that he handles life. He definitely doesn’t put up with any bullshit but he’s a kind and wonderful human being who goes out of his way to make sure that I am well, loved and cared for.
We expect a lot emotionally out of our daughters but for some reason we just don’t expect that of our sons in the same way. And all of this is reminding me that I have a lot of compassionate men around me from my partner Jeremy, to my son Miles, to my son-in-law Oliver, to my father Kevin, etc. I’m really thankful right now also, that the men that I work with are supporting this journey of mine and helping make sure that I am financially stable even though I won’t be working for five months. I have to say, I am extremely selective of the men I allow to be in my presence and I’m glad for that because I feel like I have the cream of the crop as friends, family members etc. Mike Wolfe and the Cineflix production crew have done everything they possibly can to make sure that I am financially stable, comfortable and cared for at this time as well. So here’s a shout out to those boys, men who are going above and beyond for the femmes in their lives.
Today is my sister Taras birthday as well!!! She has been so supportive and wonderful through this process. Helping me move, helping memphis move, helping me organize my life, and just being there with the hugs that feels so good from a sister right now.
I went ahead and included a cute little picture of Miles towards the end when he was little. He used to love soccer. He loved going to the games but he hated playing, lol!
I appreciate you! I love you!❤️

Amen to that!

I understand that. Myself I can’t get into pro football. Too many glorified thugs. Thankful that we have our Cardinals baseball.

Wishing you health and wellness, as someone who deals with chronic health issues. I have known several women with this or similar issues. Be strong and I'm glad you are well supported. HOPE YOU ARE ON THE ROAD AGAIN SOON.

I'm glad to hear you have all of the GREAT support that you need to get through this. Family and true friends are a blessing and the number of them does not have to be large to make a huge impact.I raised my daughter by myself and believe me, there were 2 individuals who provided daycare services for me throughout those years that I absolutely could not have done without and still had the same outcome. Summer,my daughter, is now in med school and teaches competitive dance classes. She has a heart of gold, but as strong willed as an ox. I raised to be independent, but still have a heart and I am simply amazed at they way she has grown up into a beautiful person. But, I could not have done it all alone. You take care of yourself and listen to your family! ..oh, and thank you for being you! You are a beautiful and very talented woman. I love watching in in American Pickers almost as much as I love watching you dance. It's awesome to see someone doing something that they obviously care about so very much as your dance and vintage costumes. Hope the next few days and weeks go by as painless as possible!! 😊

I’m from Stl. too. Always a Cardinals fan, but I became a Chiefs fan after the Rams left for LA

It is wonderful that you are blessed with such a beautiful family, partner and friends. Oh, and BTW, I thought I liked Jeremy until I see the photo of him in a KC Royals hat. LOL! JK, STL native here.

It’s great that Shelby brought you something to help ease the pain. It’s also great that Mike and the AP people are helping out. Being off work for 5months would put a strain on anyone. Most importantly is that your family is doing all they can to support you, especially bringing their pets to your house. We all know how much you love your pets. Are they back in PR or were you able to bring them to Illinois? From what you said in your last post, your surgery will be in a few days and then you can start with the recovery. Hopefully then you will be able to get back to normal and start enjoying life again. Happy days are ahead! Hang in there Dannie!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
