[@Giggggg]

OMG OMG Nicole! You’re engaged?! How did I miss this? The best and kindest of congrats to you two!! I have been following you since before your channel and I am just so happy for you!! Love your love for Canada, we love you too! 🥰 And cheers to your future 🥂

[@NicoleEddy1]

Aaaah, thank you so much 🥳 I’m engaged...woohoo! There is actually a video on my channel of how it went down, but I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for your well wishes and hopefully I’ll back in Canada sometime soon ❤️

The sign of a true communicator, creative, .. is to make the mundane like cleaning and questions interesting.... the true life of a 'social influencer' (hate that phrase) is more important than the 'Instagram' esq imagery that many people rely on. another vlog with passion and honesty. I can only imagine the amount of effort you put into these. Nicole keep being you and like so many I hope your foot heals.

[@NewNormac]

Here’s to your speedy and healthy recovery, love what you do and your videos

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you so much! Since filming this video a couple of days ago, I’m already back to walking normally which is awesome 😀

[@jenniferhill1882]

Your channel is the only one I know that can have over a thousand views on a video without a single thumbs down. Everyone stans you.

[@jonen9494]

I so feel you with the healthy body, you don't realize that until something hits you and you can't do stuff anymore. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Exactly, we take our working bodies for granted every day of our lives. Really happy to be back on my feet & walking normally again 🙌🏼

[@TheJustonemore]

But the waves,I live with CRPS in my right foot .crazy painful so I’m glad your on the mend.

[@bklondon75deliciousnesswit64]

Speedy recovery Nicole and all the best. No negative comments which is fantastic and a testament to the quality of the cinematography and storylines on your vlogs! Keep up the great work! How is your tourist agency coming along especially in light of the current situation?

[@zirakleshak2088]

Really loving your video so far ! It is so chilled and relaxed. Definitely what I needed now since we are going back into lockdown in my country. Love your work 🌻

[@NicoleEddy1]

Oh no, it seems much of the world is closing in on Lockdown #2. Hope that you’re staying safe & thanks for watching :)

[@JodelFlyer]

Hope you feel better soon and the foot heals quickly. Always good to watch your material (even when you are doing the laundry!) Take care and stay safe 😎👍🇬🇧Tim

Canada and South African as most beautiful countries! Couldn’t agree more! Haven’t been to India so my third spot would be Brazil 😍

Brazil would be amazing as well, wow! I need to try and get to South America sometime :)

[@debstockdale3270]

Having the same issue with my foot and I decided I could no longer live with the pain. I am scheduled for surgery may 7. I can’t wait to start wearing normal shoes

[@NicoleEddy1]

Oh no, I know how terrible it feels. So looking on the bright side, it's been about 6 months since I had the op and it was the best decision ever. I can wear all of my shoes again without any pain at all & the recovery time was really quick. Good luck for the surgery :)

[@debstockdale3270]

@@NicoleEddy1 I was scheduled last year but because of covid in Canada they cancelled my appointment. They then rebooked for March but because of ice and snow i didn’t want to deal with crutches and the possibility of falling so I choose to move it to may. I can’t wait to have a Normal foot without pain. I am so glad to hear you are doing great and there is hope in my horizon. By the way love your vlog. I love watching my most favourite country to visit. I truly feel at home when I land.

Nicole, did they remove your neuroma? Neurectomy? If so, did you ever develope any stump neuroma pains?

Hope you get well soon. That foot looks very bruised and blue. Hope u feel better soon. Xxx love to Blair

Hey Nicole, congrats on the engagement, and good luck with your foot! If you haven't visited Malta I'm told it makes a kick ass honeymoon spot! Always assuming Covid gets reigned in! If you guys manage to swing by here there some fantastic dive spots i can show you! Keep up the great Vlog, really enjoyed the new defender ones, my 2007 90 is going to have to hang on a bit longer till they hit the 2nd hand market at a decent price!

[@landonrichie8881]

Stoked to see you healing up and putting out so much positivity during your physical challenge Nic!😎🤙🏼

[@robban910821]

did they cut out your neuroma or what did they do for operation?

[@Grahamcracker6366]

I had one removed. I kept feeling a pop in my foot. It was very uncomfortable. The burning (nerve pain) was terrible the day of surgery. It’s where two nerves fuse together and a tumor (like a marble) forms between them.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Oh no! How are you feeling post-operation? I think it was one of the best decisions that I've made to get it removed.

[@philzazzera7322]

What was your recovery period? When can I expect to be running again?

[@akkuverma2328]

Hi,is surgery a good option?

[@marksummerskill4073]

Honestly , I would have stayed with the six toes . Really hope that you are OK . When you are feeling a little more yourself , you might like to take the Ruta Austral in Southern Chile and visit Las Cuervas de Marmol . I was two days outside of the lockdown when I hoped to do that trip . Very very beautiful , not so tough but something Toyota or Landrover may sponsor and ( I apologise for being presumptious ) , something you may find wonderful . Take great care .

[@aidaramirez4254]

😳 Wow I’m going through the same situation I thank I might have to go for surgery too but I’m scared to have the Surgery

[@aidaramirez4254]

I’m sorry I hope you get well soon. I’m going through the same situation I’m thanking of taking the injection did you tried the injection I don’t know if I should they say is painful when you take the injection I might just go for the surgery and get it over with. Hope you get better soon thank you.

I was anxious to know what this was about... but then I watched, and it's not "that" :-) ... Ouuuuch! Hope your Foot Heals quickly!

[@d7e7r7]

Rather use micropore tape rather than bio-oil. My surgeon (kidney transplant) explained that the oil is not effective and that the tape helps to reduce tension on the skin and helps the scar to heal. Good luck with the healing process :)

It’s looking I may need surgery and it’s killing me since I workout and run everyday. Pain has been unbearable for about a month. How long of a recovery period is it?

[@NicoleEddy1]

Hey Phil, honestly was one of the best decisions that I've made - not a pain in my foot ever since. I was walking again within 2 weeks, and running within a month. My surgeon was phenomenal as well which always helps!

So sorry about your foot. Having a "walking impairment" myself, know how much this can restrict a person. Good if it is only temporary. It isn't in my case.

Thanks Daniel and definitely glad that it's temporary so I am very lucky indeed, and sorry to hear that your walking impairment is long-term, and a reminder for me to not take my body for granted going forward. x

Canada blew my brains as well. Did you visit the Rocky Mountains between BC and AB, Banff etc?

[@NicoleEddy1]

Exactly the spot! It was also the first time I saw proper snow and tried snowboarding, so there’s so many fond memories tied into that trip. The first time we did Calgary & Banff & the second time we did Toronto which I also really loved as a city 👌🏼 Such an epic country!

[@darrenjantjies9027]

@@NicoleEddy1 That's awesome! I saw snow in Lesotho prior to that, but Canada's snow is so much more fuffy. Calgary is currently my favourite city in the world, spent a few months there at the University of Calgary during fall/winter. That's awesome, Toronto sounds like fun. I saw you've also been to Shanghai. What an amazing city hay. Massive buildings. Was my first trip outside SA, blew my mind. Hope you went to Beijing to walk the Great Wall while you were there. Your content is amazing btw. You make SA seems like a foreign country. I'm so scared to do what you do, given the crime stats, but you've given me new eyes to see that there's so much to do and see here.

[@NicoleEddy1]

@@darrenjantjies9027 Ah amazing, but I agree, I think Canada is incomparable to Lesotho, which is actually a country that I've still never been to funnily enough! Shanghai was also so incredible, I didn't think that I would enjoy it much what with the crowds, foreign foods and extreme city life but actually thoroughly enjoyed my time there & would be excited to go back and visit again!
