You are not complaining at all. You're just planning ahead, which is very PROACTIVE. You are a smart lady, and it's our honor to get to know you!

[@nickiabbott5060]

A nurse told me to lean a bit forward, when were ‘done’, to totally empty your bladder....effective !

[@Braydie]

Nanny, as always, you are a delight. Poise pads have been on my shopping list for several years. Some friends occasionally wear Depends. Nobody else is going to know we’re wearing protection to give us a little confidence/peace of mind. For concerns about which toilet articles will pass through airport inspection, it’s pretty easy to place an online Walmart or Amazon order to be shipped to your son’s address - or remember that just about anywhere you go, you’ll be able to find a Walmart or pharmacy to fill your needs and pick up those things after your arrival. Enjoy your vacation. You and Moose are amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, ideas, concerns, stories, and solutions with us.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Braydie…❤️

[@luvsabeach7952]

I will be 71 next week and wear poise pads daily, feel better knowing I have that layer of protection!

Nanny I'm not a widow, have been married this month 43 years. Since high school I have put music on in the background. In my room, then our apt and then house and in car. Classical music. Recently I have on many times sacred choir music and then some instrumental music from movies. It helps take away the silence. In the middle of the night if I feel anxious I read then I go back to sleep. I ask the Holy Spirit to help me go back to sleep as well. God Bless. Count your many blessings. Love and hugs :D

I had a surgery for my dribble issues. I saw a gyno urologist who said it was caused by my having my 3 beautiful children. Lord, I could hiccup and flood the place 🤗 You're right about the extra pee in your bladder after you go. The doctor's test was to have me go and then see what was left with a catheter. I will say that the vaginal mesh surgery was the worst surgery I've ever experienced. Recovery time was over a month!! Be sure if you're doing that surgery, to clear your schedule for a long time. I don't want to scare anyone but I'm not sure if I would have done it if I'd known what it entailed. It was scheduled at the wrong time too. A little bit after my surgery my husband was diagnosed with cancer and he had to have a major surgery. The cancer was in his chest and he was cut open like a heart surgery. I wasn't quite up to everything but you know, you never know what you're capable of doing until you do it. At least he's not a whiny man and after about a week of my doing almost everything for him, he was up and about. It went well by the grace of God. The cancer is gone. It's been 4 years in July. Thank you Jesus 💗

Thank God you are both well and happily,jay’s mama…❤️🙏

[@theresacarmen9847]

I admire your bravery. I don't think many women could talk so frankly. That's the problem, we need more conversations about incontinence. I've been struggling with it for the last 4years and it truly is a pain in the ---.

[@rhondaandrews613]

Nanny, Depends briefs are my best tool for coping with my incontinence. It's so much better than damp or wet clothing.Thx for discussing this issue.

[@patriciaake5935]

Nanny - you are an amazing wonder! This was a perfect example of why I love you. It is as it always is authentic, spontaneous, timely, humorous and you never demonstrate that fear rules. I am so alone in the world and your friendship comforts me. A lot! Your hat and bibs were beautiful today … “crack on” as they say in the UK! I can’t wait to see the exciting visit with your son. - I didn’t mention the courage it takes to look at old age and not get mired in all the effort required to just be. Warm hug, Patricia

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Patricia Dear…please don’t feel alone…we are all here to support each other…if only by.virtual means…but we can still love and give hug to each other..🙏❤️😘

[@imahick5723]

Thanks for sharing issues that are not usually shared

[@vickyroberson2441]

Yes! Incontinence is a “shhh! Don’t talk about it!” subject! I laugh at myself after doctor appointments! I am 76 & age where doctor usually asks if I have problems with the “shhhh! Don’t mention it” subject. I always say no. What pops in my head to say is “Why??!!! Do I smell like pee??!” Buy instead I lie and say no! Nothing like the pride of an old lady! 😁😇😃😇

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Oh, Vicky…you are so funny! Love and hugs…😂😂❤️

[@barbarabraue4087]

Hi Nannie and Moose, my husband and I went on a trip to visit our son a month ago. It was an all day process because we had to change planes. I was worried about a number of things like yourself, like will they lose our luggage, will we make our next flight, ect. Thank God everything went smooth. And the big thing for me was, am I going to be able to reach the toilet in time🥹. I went as soon as that feeling started because usually I like to wait and hold it. Those days are gone with holding 🤣. Praying that you two get there and back safely, pack early so your not stressed about leaving something behind. Your garden looks absolutely beautiful!

[@mrssanders8047]

Thank you for the "talk." I got to the point where I am afraid to sneeze or cough, even laugh! But, as you say, "I'd rather have a belly laugh ..." Bless the inventors of pads!

[@donnageesey9508]

Love all your videos! You are a gem. So real! At 81 I gave issues with the bladder as well! Just accept. You don’t need to fear. The meaning of fear is “F- false E- evidence A- appearing R- real! Therefore we don’t need to fear. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY! You are BLESSED and you acknowledge your Blessings. Please share the wonderful trip you and Moose are going to enjoy!💕

Thanks for your encouraging comments, Donna..❤️

[@maureenkenney1005]

Oh Nanny you should know you can talk about anything with this gang! At 78 I too am a member of the leakage club. I bought some of the panties they advertise to collect up to a cup of liquid, don't waste your $$$ ladies they are only good for drips, but I do feel secure in my head. Looks like we all have similar problems. Don't worry about these things, we think so much will happen when in fact things turn out okay. Your smart to take the wheelchair to the boarding area, I do as well, here in Boston the boarding area is far from check in. Your garden looks beautiful, you do a lot of work, I'm tired watching you. Hope you take some time to relax before your trip! Stay well.

[@sheryltisdale]

Don't worry Nanny , we are all happy to listen to your worries, we all have the same! We love you and Moosie and know you are going to have a wonderful trip!

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

Thank you so much, Mary Ellen, for being so open about your worries about travelling and flying, and even, the dangers of laughing, coughing and sneezing at our age! You are so honest and real, all the time! And we all share these same feelings and fears. You have planned so well ahead, that you can meet any challenge! Besides, the Lord goes with you! Looking forward to the trip with you so much! You, two, have not been away from your darling adobe, garden and spectacular views in a long time. Moose and you have such a love of life and new adventures will await you! Best wishes, love and prayers, Patricia

Hi from Annie it is good yo share your worries that is what brings us together more we all need to talk about worries etc, the garden looks fabulous so good to see it brings you both so much joy. Keep looking forward to your trip it should be fun and good to get away.

[@nickiabbott5060]

Patricia......loved your phrasing of...”the dangers of laughing....” (maybe we’ll allow this new truth 😐 to make us Feel Young Again.....like when we were little and ‘not allowed to laugh”.....like in church.....when we never wanted to laugh so much ! (Add a few nuns and...The Struggle was Real !)

[@LindaPorter-ie3yw]

No worries sweetheart! Just relax and enjoy. All will be taken care of.

[@judithbullock6992]

Hey Nanny, looking good! In the 1st place, having a conversation about your concerns is not complaining. In the 2nd place, we’re girls, and all these issues go with the territory. Told my Dr. that gravity is doing a number on me. My cheeks are sliding down to my chin. My upper arms are sliding down over my elbows. My thighs are sliding down over my knees and everything inside my body is trying to fall out! It is very disconcerting, but it is what it is. Let’s just take care of our bodies and use all the wonderful products available to us. Let’s not dwell on what we can’t change and get on with living our best life! Love this video and love you!💕 God bless us all !,

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Love love this post, Judith…funny but so true…😂❤️

[@ElizabethNK24]

Nanny don’t apologize for airing your flying concerns. I am 20 years younger but I have my concerns about flying especially after having Covid so I avoid it. Pat yourself on the back for doing it. Since the pandemic I more or less gave up on flying. So don’t feel bad we all have our little worries. I am excited to see your footage from when you go to Billy’s! So fun and who does not love small cozy towns? Right!!!!! God bless us all! Hugs, Elizabeth XX ❤🤗❤️💕🙏💫

Love you two, I'm 75 and I had a hysterectomy about 20 years ago.. After working as a nurse and never getting a chance to use the restroom , I believe my bladder has dropped .with the uterus gone, it gave the bladder support which now is missing . I'm excited about your trip. After COVID and retirement I have gotten so used to staying at home. I do get anxious when I'm gone for any period of time. My home after my divorce gives me security. But have a blast and sent us some beautiful pictures. Love you both .

Thanks for sharing, Barbara..❤️

[@susanproctor-brown9762]

[@ritahayes6407]

Think as we get older and not carefree, we do worry more. Please talk about it to your viewers, it helps us relate and know we are not alone in our worries

[@karolynlove2796]

Oh, Nanny, we never mind hearing what's troubling you. I think we all get more concerned about traveling by plane, all their restrictions and the inconveinence of boarding and getting off of it when we land and having some mobility issues. Traveling does become somewhat of an issue as we age....even going to the grocery store! Which brings to mind....incontinence!! I go NOWEHERE any more without a pad on for the just in case moment!! I'm so glad you said that about the bladder not emptying completely...happens to me to often. I'll go, get up, go out to do whatever, bend over and bam, dribbling happens!! My goodness, I just went! So I definitely will wait a little longer for a complete void...I'm a good daydreamer!! Definitely know i'm not alone in this....my 2 daughters , 52 and 47, also have started "piddling" once in a while! Love you both, God Bless and stay happy and healthy!!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Yes, Karolyn…we are all in this together…🙏❤️

[@candacedandrea5677]

This year at 75 I am finding getting ready to leave our home in Ontario Canada and going to our home in Florida for six months. Due to mobility issues I lie awake at night worrying about the smallest things. So I know how you feel. Just remember the end goal is waiting for you and you will enjoy yourself. Love you sweetie always enjoy your videos.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks ,Candace, for the nice comment ❤️

[@mavep2855]

Your travel concerns are justified and I am sure many of us can really relate to them, I know I can. Good tip to wear dark clothing, also waiting on the toilet for the bladder to finish it’s job. The garden looks great as does your outfit. It sounds like a wonderful trip!🙏❤️

[@marytremper5689]

Thanks for sharing. To help void completely, lean forward with a straight back. It really helps. This tip my dear departed mother passed on to me, which she received originally from her doctor. Love your garden. You and Moose certainly have green thumbsl

[@tonivogan995]

same advice given to me by a nurse

I understand all your worries because I’m a big worry wart😊. As far as the other thing, I am 67 and I wear pads on a daily basis. I want to make sure I’m protected. The joys of aging 😊

[@faithsmith7431]

Nanny, back in 05, we were visiting our youngest daughter in D.C. Hubby and I were walking in some lovely gardens. My bladder said go and we hurriedly found bathrooms. I had difficulty getting the stall to open, and because of urgency, wet myself. Well, there was a unisex door, and hubby hurried me inside. I had to strip down as everything was sopping. Ron wash😢ed jeans and undies, then dried under the hand drier. As we left the unisex bathroom, everyone just stared at us. I have never left my house since unless I have on a Poise pad and an extra in my handbag!

[@GrannyLinn]

Your husband is a hero!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Wow, Faith…that was sure an adventure…but a fantastic recovery!! Besides having a very helpful and creative hubby….you both gave out some exciting vibes to all waiting…when you waltzed out together…laughing and winking!❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@fernandapereira6200]

Nanny do not apologise for your worries. I do understand all your concerns. After Covid I also think a lot before doing something out of my normal life. Little things which never passed on my mind now trouble me and I think twice before doing it. I think you are very strong minded and I admire you so much for your determination and go forward in this adventure. Thank you for talking openly about a subject that most of the time no one speaks: incontinence. I’m 75 year old and from several months I have had this problem. I was not worried because I know that with age this could happen, but even so it’s very unpleasant. I will try to follow your advice and go every hour or so to empty my bladder. Sometimes I wait to much because I think I have time to arrive in the bathroom and then with the clothes etc it’s to late. Thinking that some years ago I could wait hours… 😊. Love you Nanny and God bless you all.

[@sharondevries1985]

Good morning Nanny. You touched on something that can be very inconvenient, annoying and embarrassing. It is not spoken of. Incontinence. The older we get the worse it gets. I have been on several different medications. If one helps, it makes me very sleepy. So I give up on it. I have tried the exercises and everything that the urologist recommends. It is just another part of aging to deal with. Thank goodness for depends! That takes away the worry and embarrassment. I am becoming less mobile and you worded it perfectly. Be kind to your body. You were concerned about voicing your worries and thoughts. I understand not wanting to say anything to the children. However, by voicing things to your viewers you show us that we are not alone with our own concerns and problems. Your garden is looking great! Something is eating all of my new flowering plants. Right down to the soil. It is either a squirrel or rats. I googled it and they said to put out Irish Spring soap. I did. Now I put out something from Amazon. It is peppermint and other oils. It needs to be safe around my Molly. You don’t seem to have a problem with critters. I hope that your weekend is wonderful. Blessings to you both, love, Sharon

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks for being here today, Sharon…yes, we are having a few critter problems this year….SNAILS…but we use …That’s It!…seems to be the only slug med that works…also my big lavender bush died and I had to replace 2 tomato plants….we are hopeful for the dalias…the past few years…something just ate them all up!…the peppermint oil should deter rats…love and hugs…❤️

[@candyboyer]

Boy I feel your stress about airports. I flew the end of 21 & I was so stressed about having my paperwork, the right things in my bags, etc. If you check your bags, just put toiletry stuff in plastic bags. Airports are concerned about leakage above all. Be sure any paperwork you need is in your purse. Also keep a couple of days' medication in your purse or carry on. Beyond that, it really wasn't all that different. I had stressed for NOTHING. Isn't that always the way it goes?! Keep a notepad by your bed & if you think of something, jot it down. Re: Incontinence- ugh! I had to have a bladder suspension when I was in my 30s. Since then i have suffered from bladder spasms. So annoying! Seems like they are worst when I actually SEE the toilet 😂 Your tips are right on the money. If I walk past a bathroom, I stop & go - even if I don't have the urge! (When we travel, I can tell you where all the best public bathrooms are 😉) The secondary bladder emptying - also true. And - especially if I'm traveling - I wear clothes that give me easy & fast access. Garden is looking amazing! Wind here destroys so much, plus we've had lots of cold, so only 2 of my seed plantings came up (out of probably 10 pots). When you get home, everything will be in full bloom! Love you both, prayers, hugs, and blessings from West Texas--

I think all of us “seniors” have flying anxieties. I am 76 and my only child and grandchild live in Europe. I am visually impaired and have a bum hip…but those wheelchairs get me to every gate and to the front if every line. Otherwise, I would be too afraid to make the trip by myself. It’s scary, but the thought of not visiting my family is even scarier. We’ve gotta do what we can for as long as we can..! Enjoy your time with your Idaho family❤️

[@concettaalcorn686]

Here's another little tip,when on the toilet,lean to one side,lifting up your hip,do this on the other side as well,often you will find you have a small additional output.I also lean way down in front gently pushing on my stomach, again a little bit more will come out.Have a wonderful time! Safe travels!

[@lovemyshipoo]

Nanny...I just love how there is no subject off the table with you! It helps others to know they aren't the only ones with certain taboo subjects. My comment may push the envelope just a bit...I am just starting to be bothered with that problem to a degree that I worry about it when traveling HOWEVER ( and this is the biggie) I have for years had the stress/anxiety related problem that is far worse than wet pants ...and I know that I'm not alone in that boat either. I would love to travel and do more but to be in a situation where you have to do the other "number" and no bathroom available or as in flying it may be when you're not allowed to leave your seat and you can't hold....it is beyond embarrassment. Sometimes certain medications work and sometimes for whatever reason.. they don't. It can be a mess...literally! So wear your poise pad or depends and enjoy your trip...it could be a worse problem 😕 I wouldn't fret too much about any of the things that you can only carry in a 3oz size and all must fit into a quart sized bag. Ad my kids tell me...whatever you forget or can't take enough of, there are alwsys stores where you can get what you need. You're going to have a wonderful time. I can't wait to see all your videos from Idaho. ❤

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

I know many people suffer from “that other problem”…is it IBS,..J? I am considering doing a video on the opposite…constipation…but I don’t feel too knowledgeable yet on either subject…you seem to have mastered the way to cope…any comments from our viewers would be appreciated here….❤️❤️

[@lovemyshipoo]

@@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose Yes, Nanny it is IBS. I don't know that I deal with it all that great. It does keep me from doing some things that I'd like to do and that is so frustrating. It is triggered by anxiety and certain foods. Something as simple as a dental or doctor appointment can cause enough anxiety to set it off...it's that feeling of being trapped and not being able to use the bathroom or going somewhere not knowing if a bathroom is available. Xanax and Imodium can be very helpful medication. I've had it for so many years...I feel it's just the thorn in my side and something I have to make the best of as I can. Some people have IBS-C which is constipation...I have never experienced that. The only time I ever have to deal with constipation is if I've had to take Imodium too many times over a few days. I don't think I can be of much help with the constipation subject since my problem is the opposite but I'm glad you are bold enough to tackle these kinds of topics.💗

I'm so excited for you and your trip! Perhaps your nerves are not nerves but excitement!! When I pack, I sit and think about a typical day and make a note of all the things I use, you know, toothpaste, floss, medicine, etc. I imagine the whole day right up to getting into bed and jotting down what I use. Then I use that list to pack as the foundation. When I leave a place, I use the same list to tick off that all those things are packed. I hope this helps, Nanny! Love to ou both. 🥰💞

[@marjorie619]

I’m 82 and travel once or twice a year to visit children who live 1200 miles from me. Yes, each year I worry a little more than the year before about my walking which has become so unstable making it difficult to walk the aisle, worrying about unexpected bathroom accidents on the plane and what would I do if the unthinkable happens. But wanting to see the family is a greater desire than the fear of the problems so I continue to put my fears aside and make the reservations. Have a safe trip!!

Nanny hello, watching your video late on the TV & I just want to comment in Moosey getting to his seat on the aircraft..They have what's called in flight chairs; like a smaller modified wheelchair which is slimmer to fit down the aisle with no arm rests; please have Billy call the airline & reserve this for him; no reason to risk his falling or adding stress. Ok...will finish watching the video. Hugs & prayers 🙏.

Nanny, you seem to have everything under control for your trip. Your children are their for you all the way. Enjoy your time in Idaho. 🥰

Oh just continue to say the words.. your concerns are real.. so just vent! We are here for you! I know the kids dismiss your worries… but remind them to JUST LISTEN. Sometimes we just need to talk. Also remember there are stores where you are going!! If you forgot toothpaste there are stores! Also. You could order some collagen, Vaseline, toothpaste etc and have it sent to their house! You don’t need to be a pack animal trudging thru the airport with all that nonsense. 🤪 In a few weeks this trip will be a memory, so please slow down and take on all the surrounding and enjoy. You deserve this happy trip! I’m 76 and used to adore traveling..have not in awhile. We are all going along for the trip! Thanks for taking us!!❤️😍❤️ Now go relax and spend a day smiling. 😊

Ask your urologist about (you may NOT be a candidate) but this is so good to know about .....botox injections in the bladder. Only 2 times a year, painless & quick...in-office procedure. It's been extremely helpful for me.

You always look beautiful Nanny!!! Lean forward at the end of voiding, it really clears it out. Traveling is stressful. We have 2 elderly friends that had accidents at AP's recently, both had to do with the escalator, so many things to navigate.

Thinking about retiring from school job as custodial service. Next year. But still working my care giving job 2 or 3 days week. So scary little bit. I’ve social security and pension from school. Savings from working all these many years. I don’t know want thing but working it’s becomes a drug. Now I love love working I’m around lots people. Kids during the week days. Old people like me on weekends. I so happy I found you.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

I’m happy you found me, too, Diana…you are such a hard worker and good mother…taking care of everything all these years…Your work attitude is great and I admire you very much…hugs, ❤️

[@KayeCarterTV]

I so understand your worries. But try not to let that overtake. Looking for all the fun times and good times you’ll have I know a lot of times I feel the same way as you and worry about things that never even come about so take one moment at a time, one day at a time and everything will be OK. I so understand as I said before. Sending hugs, love, prayers, and kindness with positive thoughts.❤❤❤

I have been experiencing terrible incontinence. I am 68 with 1 child. I began having UTI’s along with this for about 4-5 months. Once I became so weak I had to go to the ER, not knowing I had a UTI. Finally a trip to the urologist showed that constipation was causing the stress incontinence along with the UTI’s. Once on stool softeners and regular no UTI and not as much stress leakage. Yeah. Blessings to you from Texas.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

So happy you are feeling better, Mimi…those UTI’s are awful and you have to take care of it right away, too.❤️

[@TrishaWhelan]

Thank you so much for all you share. I have all the same worries. You’re so precious to all of us. Love love love you🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@linda6987]

What a stunning lady you are! I saw the topic and here I am. I’m 66 and “it” just started. I’ve had no children, I’ve also had a complete hysterectomy at a young age. I didn’t think it was safe but had a little bit longer. Nope! I agree with all of it! My tip? I have an electronic Yahtzee game on the counter, fight there to use. You be surprised (or not) how much more can be released if you just relax and take your mind off it all! Thank you! 💕💖💕

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks, Lindafor joining in…❤️

[@catherinedoherty9676]

Hi Nanny, I am also one of those ladies of a certain age who wear panty liners! 😂 I think you are so honest about all these feminine things. I had a Hysterectomy at the age of 42 year’s, so my Pelvic Floor has been Laminated for many year’s now! 😜 You just have to put your best foot forward and get on with Life. You have a fabulous Family and they will help you with all they can. Also, We are here for you. You can use Us as a Sounding Board! Take Care and God Bless, Love Cathy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿xxx

You are so right with aging problems, we all do different things in our own way. Thank you for sharing all these tips. Blessing to you all enjoy your trip. 🙏👍👏😘

[@pandorah1801]

You will have a wonderful time! I know flights are a worry. I book seats based on where restrooms are located. We just returned from over 14 hour flight from Dubai and it was a challenge and I’m almost 20 years younger than you 💜🇨🇦

[@lindajames5065]

Enjoy your trip Nanny and Moose 😊👍🏻🤗 Your garden is looking good 👍🏻 Texas Lady

[@LoisLoves]

There is certainly a lot to plan for when we leave our homes. One of the others commented that you could order things and have them shipped to your son's house. I think that is a great idea as well. Protective pads and undergarments have come a long way and I would definitely look into that, not just for travel but for your own comfort. I don't have any problems with continence (yet) but I know that a lot of women struggle with this issue (both young and old). I think it is great that they have made the newer versions so discrete and undetectable. I sure hope you enjoy your trip! I admire your courage and determination. Looking forward to seeing your vacation videos. I enjoy your videos so much, Nanny. When I look to see who has uploaded a video each day, it always makes me smile when I see there is one from you.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks , Lois….for you very nice and encouraging comments.❤️

[@josnnemangan.679]

Pads are a must. Also someone told me Just sit there! But every two hours during the njght. Disrupted sleep. Good video!

[@pamelawarner4066]

Nanny, get a wheelchair for yourself too. I do that and put my cat carriers on my lap. Don’t worry all will work out, it always does you know. The plane people will help you a lot. I don’t mind you sharing your concerns. You feel responsible and are for Moose too. And just wear a pad. Enjoy the process, of going to Idaho . all is well. Hugs to both of you. 💝

[@joanmaxine1]

Incontinence products (pads, briefs) are a life saver and a work saver (less laundry). All kinds for various purposes.

[@blackdiamond5507]

🌸Nanny I so enjoyed this video as usual. You will have a lovely trip it sounds beautiful up there. I just have to say the garden you and Moosie have created is just serene and so pretty -- you have a little pocket of Heaven on earth there, good for you. ❤😍😄

[@kathleenbegemann6007]

I am so blessed to watch you both. You are a calm and sentence influence on my day and always positive and uplifting. Thank you.

[@MaryLuminary]

It's fun to see all of the beautiful plants and flowers starting to come up in your garden. I just have some daffodils, hyacinth, and crocus blooming so far this year, but still beautiful to see. I wouldn't worry about what to bring on the plane. Just go have a good time. Enjoy your flight too. But remember to go to the bathroom before takeoff. I recommend wearing a pair of those disposable undies, especially for the flight. Why not? Problem solved. I think good for if you are going out on an excursion of some kind, where you can't get to a bathroom easily. Okay, I'm going to give an extra tip. You wear a pair of disposable undies, and you stick an additional incontinence pad inside it. Double protection. Then if you have any leakage you simply remove the pad, and you're still covered. My sister used to do this when she went out to an event, or on a plane ride, etc. Even on canoe trip, whatever. Long day of shopping. There actually are some very good styles available to choose from. Okay, I'll be quiet about it now.🤫 Sometimes if my mind is wound up in worry, thinking about things that I really can't control, I do deep breathing techniques. Inhale, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Do at least four times. But you might also fall asleep from doing this. Also will lower your blood pressure. Colleen will know about this. I think that you are going to have a wonderful trip, full of fun and a bit of adventure. Just enough anyway. If you forget to bring something, you can get it there. Idaho is part of the lower forty eight states. It's out there, but they've got everything you might need. I look forward to seeing the videos you produce from your time visiting with your Idaho kids. Maybe they will grill out some evening. What about one night you and Moose make your fajitas on the grill for them, just for fun. You could marinate some steak, and then also grill onions, peppers, mushrooms, and maybe tomatoes, then of course throw some cheese and favorite toppings on. Anyway, just a thought. I'm thinking that they probably will have a perfect wine to accompany with steak fajitas on the grill.🍷 Maybe you will see the northern lights at night. They have been showing up here in Wisconsin lately. I guess I'm excited for you guys going on your trip. Woohoo! Anyway, take care and see you in the next video.MJ♥️✈️🧳🍷

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks so much,MJ….for all the ideas and comments…Bonnie is a fabulous cook and LOVES IT…she can do everything and anything ..and any cultural meal you desire.But my veggie fajitas meal could be a nice respite for her some night…❤️

[@lindasternberger6936]

I understand what you mean about worrying about being prepared for your trip. It is a little stressful when you are trying to plan everything. It can cause sleepless nights. Once you know you have everything in place you will just focus on your trip and you will have a wonderful time. I am so glad you share everything with us. You know we all have the same worries and situations with our bodies. It is just so nice to hear we are not alone. I love the suggestions you give us. Take care. 💙

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you for your chats It's good to share our worries and anxieties and to know we are not alone I read axlovely saying for when sleep eludes us " Instead of counting sheep talk to the shepherd " I like that one I hope you have less anxieties in the days before your trip It will be wonderful and every thing will be OK Take care Looking forward to sharing your adventures with you God bless you both and gives you peace X X

I've bought the Chartreuse and Purple Zinnias and love them planted together; they are such a pretty contrast. I always put some dirt in a paper cup, add the seeds, shake it up and toss. Sprinkle a little dirt on top just to confuse the birds...lol

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Great idea, Ms. k…thanks…❤️

Absolutely natural to have concerns I traveled a lot on vacations & with my job and up to this day I hate traveling and always I have worries and concerns So please do not apologize . Have a safe happy trip and enjoy ❤️🥰

[@alisonh890]

Hi Nanny, I don’t mind at all that you talked about your worries. I think it’s quite natural to think of these things, I do and I’m in my fifties so it’s not an age thing. I know that when you get to your sons all this will be forgotten and you will have a wonderful time making more memories. I hope you have a good time. Love to you both. Xxx

Hello! Great conversation today. Since our families are so much fun and there are so many belly laughs, I do have to be ready for anything. Love those overalls and have that same color. I think they are rather youthful looking and very comfortable. Mine are going with me on our vacation this summer. Your flowers are beautiful and your moring sunrise so lovely. God bless you both and keep you well.🙏🥰

At age 18 , I had Guillian- Barre syndrome, which is an ascending paralysis & thank God I recovered from it except for the paralyzing of one of my urinary bladder nerves. Thank God for those very thin poise pads!! But the urologist at that time said exactly what you said, which is to sit on the toilet for a few minutes more & I have found that it does help. Sorry for the TMI ! Also, I'm so happy that you will be utilizing a wheelchair also! I know the feeling of trying to keep up with the attendant who is escorting my husband through the airport! P.S. I have fully recovered from the Gullian Barre virus except for the bladder issue!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

So happy you’ve recovered from the disease, Donna…❤️

[@kathleenj.9829]

I can so relate to the anxiety of travelling. I used to pack up and go at the drop of a hat with no concerns, but at 82 the anxiety has taken over, and just the thought of preparing for a trip is overwhelming to me now. The last time I flew was just before everything shut down because of the pandemic and I seriously think my travelling days are now over. I’ve been a member of the “Leakage Club” for a number of years and find the Always Pantie Liners work the best for me and I just make sure to change them frequently. I’d often thought of having the surgery, but my mother had it done twice and the problem always returned, so not something I would deal with at this stage. It’s refreshing to see you talk about this issue so honestly and openly….but then again it’s something often discussed between friends so not surprising that you would bring it up with all of your dear friends on your channel. I’m so happy that you and Moose are going on the trip to your son’s, after the long and challenging winter you’ve had….it will be a welcome treat. Hugs to both of you!😘
