An Uncomfortable Talk About Health & Preparing For Future Inevitable Life Events - St Cloud Thoughts

St Cloud Walk N Talk

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW As of now I seem to be pretty healthy but preparing for the future. In the very near future going to get my affairs and will in order and also a final resting place . Good to get all that dialed in and paid off so when that day comes it’s handled . (Hopefully not for many years)

[@MamaCarola1]

I hope the agent knows how much u travel & was able 2 recommend a good PPO that will be accepted in many places. Getting sick or in an accident when ur not in ur HMO range is not something u want 2 experience

[@kathryncollins8708]

Very responsible thing to do.

[@FanOfFab4]

I know the feeling, my final resting place has been in place for a few years. I know where my body will be for all eternity and it has a decent view. :)

[@zig_zagman]

I'm a couple years older than you and within the last couple of years I bought a spot for an urn next to my Mom's and my Dad's (future) slot. I also had a will prepared, but have not gotten it witnessed yet.

[@mikeostrow7051]

Wow, that's deep...to be honest I've never given that any thought... wouldn't even know where to start that process in my head...

[@MrHmm...2024]

Just had a friend randomly (went in for basic stuff) diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given 60-90 days... he ended up getting 2 WEEKS. Went from living a regular life and planning the future to not having one in 2 weeks. Point is- keep living the life you want Adam (and everyone else reading this). Life is precious but fleeting. Love, be kind, and enjoy the moment.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

My best friend was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. The doctors didn't give him long to live. He was able to live twice as long as the doctor's estimate. I know that isn't the ending that most people want to hear but he was thankful. That gave him time with him wife and kids. He got a chance to say important things that might have gone unsaid.

[@shutterflyboy85]

That is all too frequent the story. Then the numerous financial and family characters will start to swarm making the lives of the caring survivors miserable until they get what they feel they are owed. Don't kid yourself, money makes people do bad things especially within families. Remember, "You can't spell 'families' without 'lies' " I had to return my mom's last Social Security check because she died 3 days before the end of the month. The SS Rep apologized profusely but had to follow the SS laws on time of death for recipient. It is cruel and unusual punishment for caring family members. At 32, my sister was diagnosed with aggressive soft-tissue cancer discovered during a c-section. That was the source of the misdiagnosed pain. She lived to see her daughter for 3 months. Her husband remarried 3 months later and took everything she had. "Get your affairs in order" be very specific. You can change your will any old time you want. Write out useless kids because it's not fair to the ones who actually care.

[@visciousadventures]

Living your life is one thing, but being irresponsible and eating fair food daily for a living at age 50 and never paying attention to fitness is absurd. Most people don't change until they have a major health scare, and even then they usually go back to their old ways. You can choose to eat healthy foods, or you can choose to eat like a high school kid whose brain isn't yet developed. You choose. Adam has already chosen the latter.

[@karenleemallonee684]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. 💔

[@devangel3614]

I think the Woo of Woo is that you never expected anything out of KZbin and were just yourself, living your dreams and best life. Congrats on adulting. An accident on serious illness can bankrupt you and be life changing. And now you can get the colonoscopy you might not have dreamed of, but colorectal cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths in men your age group. Keep walking and moving, it is the one thing all of my patients 80 and up have in common. Keep loving life and having purpose which is the best insurance against having your carbon recycled. Love you Adam❤

[@Doc452007]

Only question will you put "Join me shall you" on your headstone?

[@TheDailyWoo]

Haha oh man !

[@jennielauber8308]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@sicr7373]

We all will one day.

[@tcwhite0104]

That would be EPIC!!

[@JEK]

we all shall, one day

[@jorgeldejesus8465]

Happy mother's day 2024 to your mum and all the mums of the world!

[@comeoncarebear]

Yes Happy Mother’s Day to your mom as well

[@amyheltonwalker]

How sweet! Thank you!

[@MercuryInspiredBy]

As someone who is in the middle of managing a loved ones passing, this is the best thing you can do for your family/friends. It's one less thing to worry about.

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

My mother in-law was self employed and never had health insurance until she turned 50. She just paid for check ups and dentist appointment... When you get into your mid 60 s is when things start happening out of nowhere.. 50 is still young.

[@DonnaKay-kq3jo]

I first started watching you during your road trip through Texas during their big freeze/power outage and you had found a place to get coffee. Haha! Your show is great and a “happy place” for me. Thank you! God bless you and all your family and friends! I will keep watching whatever you do.

[@insidebillyshead]

Insurance is so important. I suffered a massive heart attack in 2020, and almost died. Saved my butt because I had the best care needed to live!

[@jeltoninc.8542]

Do you exercise? What is your diet like? Those are the best insurance, your habits.

[@jeannettevarrichio9266]

This July will start a new decade...going to be 70...looking forward to new adventures...creating new artwork...meeting new people..dont worry about your health you are doing all the right stuff...enjoy every day and God bless...love your videos.

[@mat.356]

Happy 70 to you🎉

[@TraciHilbers]

Adam,i will be 51 in November,some days i feel old,some days i feel young,my college kids and my 2 granddaughters keep me going,my oldest will be 30 in 15 days and my youngest will be 20 in a few months,i have MS but i am still walking and moving,when i turned 50 i started a new season of my life being a empty nester,some days i dont like it some days i love it as i can travel where ever i want I love your videos Adam,been watching since you started,especially the video with you being in Johnny Carson's hometown in Nebraska ❤ Hope you have a great day Adam 😁

[@zx713]

It falls apart if you don’t exercise, don’t get your 8 hours sleep, and you constantly eat processed foods. We can control that!

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Pre-planning is one of the best gifts you can give your family. It was the best thing our parents did for my sister and I.

[@rollercoasterronda9037]

I just turned 51 and I totally get it. Always love to watch your videos Adam. Much love from Cherokee county in north Georgia. Florida is an awesome neighbor to have! May God continue to bless you and your family. Stay in your joy!

[@MyBackyardScience]

Make sure that you blood tests include a psa test! I too, went many years before starting annual wellness checkups. It was just in time, as my psa test and follow-ups caught prostate cancer just in time and saved my life. No symptoms at all, so without the testing, who knows if I could have been commenting on your videos now! 😊

[@antayat123]

If you took an injection recently, I'd also consider taking a D-dimer test as well.

[@KittKat07]

As I turn 39 this August 5th, I understand the trepidation of the years rapidly going by. But I will tell you, 50 is not the 50 we thought of in 1985. lol. And I feel very silly when I look back and presume that 50 was anything but young! You’re doing great-one step at a time.

[@sdcraig]

The male life expectancy in the US is now no different to what was in 1985.

[@KittKat07]

@@sdcraig Incorrect. It’s raised about 5 years-other variables excluded, naturally. And my comment was not in reference to length of life but since you mentioned it, I had to respond. Also, if there wasn’t any difference that wouldn’t matter as the POINT of the comment was to remind all of us that yes, aging is coming and 50 is not the time to enter mid-life crisis and just lay down and wait for death. Not implying Adam is doing such, by the way-just wanted to bring levity to a topic that most of us could, at some point, struggle with.

[@ronaldhall2489]

What about 64?? It comes mighty dam fast

[@g-manazapp6088]

Your next step is to find a CPA who can help you with tax planning and retirement planning. It’s one thing to have a tax preparer to help you with the once a year compliance (filing) issue, but a long range plan could potentially save you some serious bank.

[@user-ur8hx8pg5q]

Great video Adam. Thank you ❤

[@jaybolin3153]

As someone who’s watched videos since 2010 (I was 6), congrats Adam! Very happy for you! Don’t know what Id do without watching some dailywoo.

[@georges8200]

you would get a lot smarter

[@timetogo4533]

Love your story Adam! You have been able to pave your own way and do what you love to do. That’s the ultimate success.

[@PaintSociety]

KZbin changed my life. You took a risk and it paid off! Great job Adam

[@TheDailyWoo]

It worked out well . Glad I went for it

[@christopher27531]

I'm glad to hear your story. Thanks for sharing. Stay well.

[@gregggarver6857]

Adam we appreciate you and what you do, taking us to places some of us will never see

[@Tyler-dn8wn]

Just started watching last year and watch about everyday. Appreciate Adam making these too. Thank you!

[@healthandfitnesswithnick173]

Yay!!!!! The mustache is gone!!!!! Looking good my man!!!!!

Thanks Adam for all the videos.

[@lewisedison4181]

thanks great video, the apt part was nice,seeing your old apt.

[@timmc6009]

After I turned 50 things started hurting more. Never had issues till then. Biggest issue has been arthritis. It sucks.

[@AaronDanieltenni]

Such a good channel that you have here. Stay healthy, Adam!

[@recallbob]

Love the videos Adam keep them coming

[@comeoncarebear]

Thank you for another great video Adam

[@brianeslinger3639]

I just want to say thanks for your hard work in putting these videos together for all of us. Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍

[@matteng1448]

I remember the day you moved into the van. I think I had just found your channel a few months before. Glad to have been along for the ride for this long. Still here and not leaving. People are assholes and always have something to say about other peoples lives. Glad you at least don’t outwardly let is bother you and talk about it constantly. Also, look like you’ve lost some weight as well man. Glad to watch when I can and when you upload. Enjoy what you have Adam and don’t let the idiots have a say in YOUR life my friend.

[@TheDailyWoo]

The van days were quite a time . Pretty wild to remember making that decision

[@styxfan4022]

Adam, You are living the dream my friend. Being self employed is the way to go, it's not for everyone but you are obviously doing something right. Keep it up, Stay healthy and long live the Woooooooooo!

[@bob4364]

Hey Adam great video in St Cloud, FL..Also covering about your life, where you at now and plans ahead..Glad everything worked out for you..Enjoy on

[@glendajames6006]

So glad you do this you are so entertaining,,love the videos

...and the rest is history! We SO enjoy you and your videos, Woo!! We will miss the dailies when they end!!

[@thegerm574]

Thanks for bringing us a long with you.

[@suzanneochs1543]

Always a good idea to get things in order, Adam ! I know I procrastinate when it comes to that. Gotta do it ! Thanks for all your great Vlogs. Can't start my day without them. ❤

[@duranfan4ever922]

Adam, I panicked when I read the title! I’m still trying to get my heart rate back to normal. I thought the worst, but I’m so glad you’re ok. You have become a part of my daily routine that I look forward to. You have a great ease in front of the camera, and you’re so relatable. Stay healthy!

[@-chrisburke]

I miss the videos with your mom and dad together, they have such a fun and loving dynamic

[@amyheltonwalker]

I live next door to my parents who are 80 and 76yrs old and family time is so precious! I spend as much time as possible with them. I’m 52 yrs old now and nothing much changed from my 30 through my 40’s but things definitely have made the change now, my younger days are behind me and my older years are settling in on me, my body is changing, how I feel and how I think have definitely made a change. It seemed to happen at once for me. I already feel the need to prepare for what the future holds while I can because times moving quickly and if I live long enough I might not be able too.

[@pedrozatravel]

Happy to hear you are going international, the world is big.

Congratulations on your journey so far.

[@thegoodguy4037]

Adamn ive been following for some time now, ehat started it for me was your news story of disney and you were temp ban at disney but then allowed back, i was hooked. It is so amazing and an inspiration to so many people that follow you now or find you later in life, such an amazing life man you are truly blessed

[@DrKelseyGraham]

I am into my 70th year of life. I have never been hospitalized. Not on any medications. Do not let the 50 put fear into your heart. Attitude goes a long ways. Laughing, smiling and living life to the fullest helps as well. The longer you can avoid BIG PHARMA the better your life will be. I have had two people in my life who died in the past two years- I was a caregiver for both. Once they started the prescribed drug routine and doctor visits - well that is when things started going wrong. As you age your NUMBERS will change. They prescribe all kinds of harsh drugs with all kinds of side effects trying to get your NUMBERS right- well right for the stats anyway. When these loved ones of mine died their numbers were perfect. The drugs gave them good blood pressure and kept their sugar levels perfect. Yet they died younger than I. They grew dependent on drugs to keep NORMAL numbers. Do you feel good? enjoy the moments- that is all we have are the moments......

[@robinbraxton5345]

Well said!

[@UKMitchy]

I'm 65. I get a good amount of exercise and quit working 3 years ago as I wanted more time to do the things I enjoy. Work definitely wasn't enjoyable any more, but only mentally with the way things changed over the years. hobbies and good family have kept me going. I am never bored as I don't have time to be. Health wise I get a few checkups, but no problems so far. I avoid any medication unless I absolutely necessary.

[@cag19549]

Actually, things go wrong first, and then the prescriptions come. In my case, it's lifestyle problems that get you into the prescriptions. That's what happened to me. I'm making the lifestyle choices I need to make to get off the "terrible triad". I'm a retired teacher turning 70 in July. People are surprised when I tell them I now weight train and run a youtube channel. My response is, am I supposed to sit home and die? I also still work, so I don't get brain rot. After saying that, we all make our choices. As for big pharma, they're the reason the younguns don't have that smallpox vaccine scar anymore. They don't have to take it. The vaccine worked. Adam's right, planning saves a lot of pain for those we leave behind. I have a long-term care insurance policy. I plan to be cremated on the cheap, no service. My sister and I discussed this, and she's on board with it. She can take whatever I have left and do whatever. She doesn't want to run the youtube channel, though.😂

[@Thewestside4]

I think you are so right! Stay away from doctor unless you are in severe pain. Once they get you on meds you’re trapped I feel.

[@PatrickHausenfleck-zf4lf]

Knock on wood... 🙌Same here.... actually in considerably better shape in my 70s than in my 40s...I could challenge my 45 yr old self in may different physical ways and defeat... especially in recovery time...I believe it has a lot to do with mind over matter.

[@cynthia6055]

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

If Adam the Woo can do it, I can do it! I know in my heart I'm supposed to start a KZbin Channel - I have to find my space ( my niche, my genre ) Congrats Adam on ALL of your success AND being fully insured! Cheers to many many many more years ...

[@kayc_x3]

As someone who has been wanting to start back up for close to a decade, just start. Just start filming stuff. Your first 10, 20, 50 videos might not be great. Starting is the most important part. You’ll gain some momentum and find where you’re supposed to be. …..I need to take my own advice

Good time to ask the parents about family health history for filling out forms with your doctor. Great time to also talk about their wishes and if they have advance directives..Travel insurance saved a lot of money on a trip we booked to the UK when I had colon cancer surgery months before our trip.

Adam I'm 54 and its pretty much the same as 44. Good to have medical and life insurance of course. But 50 is indeed just a number.

[@Meganmama]

I’m happy you’re being pragmatic about planning for the realities of life and 💀. I’ve worked in healthcare for years and it’s always very sad when people have avoided talking about their wishes and avoided planning for end of life. The families are the ones that suffer. Good work Adam.

Age is just a number, however, and seeing how we both love Disney, there's no doubt we won't stay young-at-heart forever :) I've been catching up on your videos and it's super cool you also have an interest in abandoned places, the road less traveled, exploring, and finding the beauty and appreciating the little things.
