Been Sick but We're Still Doing a Saturday LIVESTREAM!

[@charlesjohnson5530]

True grit is necessary for this life of aging. Never give up…never surrender! Society looks at us as “things”.

[@eldergal]

I agree! Thanks!

[@GM-vf7px]

Take Care Allison - Look after yourself!!!!Best Wishes from Canada!!!

[@eldergal]

Thanks much!

[@John-rw2zf]

Hey, Allison. Great livestream today. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Lots of topics popped up today. Always makes it interesting. Even went overtime. Thanks for making life interesting. Take care and stay safe out there, Allison.

[@eldergal]

Thanks so much for being part of the Livestream John! It was certainly varied topics today! All of you made me feel better!

[@John-rw2zf]

​@@eldergalYou are welcome, Allison. My pleasure always. Thanks so much again. Take care and have a peaceful night. Much respect.

[@lizzabbott]

Never been on a Live of yours before. Not that far in, but it’s always a great idea to bring ammodium A.D. with you when you travel. Can get it in pill form. Your trip will be a phenomenal experience !!

[@eldergal]

Thanks Liz! I will for sure bringing Imodium with me on the trip. Appreciate you being part of the channel!

[@AyaSmith-rb2hp]

Hope you get well soon!❤

[@Contessa998]

You look lively and lovely as always. Glad you are on the Upswing 😊😊. My friend was in the hospital for five days with Norovirus, but he has multiple health problems. 🤔

[@eldergal]

Hope your friend has improved. Appreciate your well wishes! Thanks Contessa!

[@lindawilson795]

Get well soon 🙏.

Please try eating some good quality plain whole fat greek yogurt every day. Best probiotic for your gut health, which really determines your overall health. I buy Chobani brand, the best quality American yogurt. I add a good dollop of it to my breakfast oatmeal. Learned about the health benefits of daily yogurt while living in Turkey. Have not had any intestional issues in 20 years, since living in Istanbul.

[@eldergal]

Thanks! Actually I have been having plain yogurt every morning for breakfast. It has helped overall.

[@JB777z]

Best wishes from Iowa. Get well soon! 😊

[@eldergal]

Thank you JB!

When I travel, I always plan what I will do if I become unwell or have an accident. I know too many women who have tripped over something very low, like a pavement step, or missed a step on the underground and have to be blue-lighted to hospital in an ambulance, then in a cast for 6 weeks followed by four weeks physio. The other scenario is being stuck indoors when your accommodation comes to an end and you can't extend it because its booked out and you really can't travel. In terms of the 'D' it is an issue with so many public bathrooms now closed in the UK and in many stores also. I just plan by making sure I have a big envelope of cash in the bank before I travel. You even have to plan, probably through insurance, to be flown back home by air ambulance. Then you need a home in your homeland, somewhere to live when you get back home. Its just about preparing for most eventualities.

[@eldergal]

Thanks for sharing this! I have thought of all the scenarios at this point. Hoping for the best!

[@The_Story_of_Her_Life]

Hello Allison, i hope you feel better soon. It's too bad i couldn't make it to your livestream today; i watched it later while cooking my dinner. Your livestream seems so cozy and comfortable, that I'd love to join you on your next one, with a cup of herbal tea!

[@eldergal]

Thanks, I hope you can join in next time!

[@msr1116]

The pacing is good and nothing political or controversial is a part of the chat, which I like about our group. There's enough incivility in comments elsewhere on YT to last me into the next lifetime. I commend Allison for maintaining decorum on her channel by blocking instigators. Not everyone does, sadly.

[@kayjohnston-526]

Mary Englebreit has a saying, “We are always the same age inside” When my husband was alive(he has been gone 9 years now) we talked about how each of us thought the other looked the same as when we were young and first feel in love. Interesting how he always said that I looked so much younger than he, yet I thought the same thing about him. Age is so interesting. Each decade presents it own challenges. For me, I turn 70 in 2024 and the cliche is “we were 20 in the 70’s and now 70 in the 20’s” i don’t generally feel old until I can’t do what I used to be able to do or do as easily as I could before. The hardest thing for me is not having a companion these days, but yet I don’t really want someone full time. Oh the struggles.

[@eldergal]

Thanks for sharing this Kay! Sounds like your husband was a wonderful person!

[@whoswithme118]

I have a wonky digestive system too now and Immodium and small amounts of thc are my friends in those times! 😃 I hope you're all better soon - water is good!👍

[@eldergal]

Thanks for sharing this! Appreciate the moral support!

[@Wellness-y8f]

I usually think of myself as a young person, I am 70, because I feel healthy and strong. But when I seem myself on camera (usually the Ring camera on my front door), I know I look old and most accurately the way I walk is the walk of an older person 🙃

[@eldergal]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@maccar2761]

Best wishes from Alabama 🎉. I hope you feel stronger soon.🎉.

[@eldergal]

Thanks so much!

[@nancygoodspeed8349]

[@eldergal]

Thanks so much for the well wishes!

[@catherinecarry1539]

I hope you are feeling a bit better Allison ❤

[@eldergal]

Thanks!

[@silviatubausole4480]

Hi Alison, Sorry I've missed the livestream. You look so good now. I hope you are fine by next week. Depending where you want to go in Spain you can take local trains and it is not expensive and you can buy them on the same day. Like let's say you want to go from Portbou to Barcelona. Get the Catalunya Express ones.Of course it will take you up to two hours. But if you have the time... Hope to see you soon. Take care. LOVE

[@eldergal]

Thanks for that information Silvia! Appreciate your kind support!

[@steveandisaw3522]

Sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you're well soon. I had a similar flu type thing over Christmas but I'm fine now.

[@eldergal]

Thanks! It hasn't been fun!

[@karendavidson6272]

Yes !! Linda Goodman 🌞Signs .

[@msr1116]

I have all her books.

[@Contessa998]

Thursdays good for livestream 👍

[@karendavidson6272]

Hi Allison, I’m sorry I missed the live. But I’m watching now. Always enjoy it. In the early part of the video during the norovirus talk I couldn’t help but think about a certain scene from the movie Bridesmaids. Melissa McCarthy 😂😂! Hope you feel better soon. Karen

[@eldergal]

LOL. Have watched that movie a couple of times and I know what you mean! Thanks for your well wishes Karen!

[@msr1116]

Saw her cousin Jenny McCarthy on a Two and a Half Men rerun this past week.

[@hdome79]

Hope you feel better. 🛐🙂 Marvin

[@eldergal]

Thanks Marvin!

[@Scorpio-me1028]

[@eldergal]

Thanks!

[@susanhoffman6150]

Allison, too late to join you live. I hope you are well.

[@Janice-i5p]

Take some depends!

[@sueh9170]

FYI, Please Google 'Why is Pepto Bismol banned in France?'

[@sueh9170]

Tune In to find out what was the GOOD part of Elder Gal being sick?...

[@currentconditions962]

Did you know, that Scotland has a 6 month visa?

[@eldergal]

Yes, it is part of the UK. The problem would be finding an affordable place to stay anywhere in the UK for up to six months. Thanks for watching!
