Knowing when to say "I'M DONE" | Hospital Physical Therapy 🏥 (8.3.18)

[@thefreylife]

Oh that tricky balance in life- push yourself- but not too hard. Attempting to learn that balance- how bout you?

[@eej1983able]

The Frey Life i pushed myself too hard yesterday and i felt gross as a result so today im easing up

[@pinkyblessed2218]

Yes, since we know God is a god of order & balance I try so hard to emulate those characteristics of His. I fail daily in a thousand little ways, but I celebrate each victory instead of focusing on the negatives. And yes, listen to your body. Pacing myself is such a difficult process.... 🙃 I am praying for “all the things” for you, Mary! 💕

[@maddiewalbridge9444]

The Frey Life please do some watercolor art!!!

[@doris1826]

Still praying for you, Mary & Peter! God will give you what you need for today, whatever that looks like!

“There’s a difference between quitting and knowing when you’ve had enough” you made the right choice finishing up in the gym

[@NurseMickiLea]

From a nurses standpoint it is always nice to hear patients tell us they think we are nice, cool or just a thank you. Keep up the good work and push through that imepenum, that is a hard one!

[@invisibleinkling1474]

Mary... I love you. Rest is not bad and it's not giving up. It's good and I'm glad you're embracing it. It rejuvenates.

[@staceycotton2728]

Mary, what you said really hits home for me. My health has declined. I've been diagnosed with yet another chronic illness and it is really hard from me to come to terms with accepting this is my life. I feel like such a failure and not good enough. I try to stay strong, but it's hard. I really look up to you for your strength to keep fighting and not giving up. I say alot to myself if Mary can do it I can too! I also live by and have your sweatshirt....Do What You Think You Can't Do.

[@jannalawlor5832]

You go Mary! Remember to just take it one minute, one hour, or one day at a time. Whatever you need to tell yourself to keep going strong.

[@2listening1]

[@Haysalto]

Squeeze the bag is so funny yet so evil! 😂 love that Mary laughed so hard out of joy that she actually triggered a coughing fit 😨😂

[@zackreynolds8905]

Stay strong Mary! And just wanted to say thank you for your port videos, I’m an emt and the knowledge that y’all provided really helped me relate to and calm down a patient I had the other day. Thx!!!

[@anngabriel5455]

Great job Mary, I'm so proud of you. You remind me to smile no matter what.

[@angelafischer7608]

Mary, I am so happy to see you kicking butt! You’re determination helps us with chronic illness, to keep moving forward and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your amazing! Big hugs Mary, Peter and Oliver! 🤗

[@amyshaw4729]

She is sounding SO much better. Mentally and physically. Very proud of you my dear!!!

[@rmjames83]

Just remember Mary, anything exercise wise will help your recovery from the surgery-it doesn’t matter how big/small-it ALL counts!!! We are cheering for you!!!

[@sarahweishaar8364]

You guys are so great to watch! The positivity and faith you display is amazing! I am a full time church worker and really appreciate what an example you both are, your lives are an amazing witness!

[@dawncrowe5647]

You are very strong. Watching y'all has really helped me, I try not to push myself to hard, my husband is my rock, my 4 boys are always helping momma! Praying for you!

[@lightofmine124]

You guys are so nice, to compliment Nicole! That would make anyone's day. Peter and Mary restoring our faith in humanity and spread acts of kindness and Joy!

[@ellie-ou6pq]

When I was younger I wanted a DS so bad, but I never got one! Seeing you play with the DS made me smile and brought back memories of when I was in about 3rd ish grade and I would just watch my friends play

[@maryj367]

You both have a heart of gold... I don't usually follow people that have CF because it brings back so much memories of my daughter that I lost 8 years ago... and emotionally I'm not fully recovered. Still cry like a baby...but you guys bring so much light and smiles to my face...THANK YOU!

[@victoriakahakina6371]

You are amazing Mary! So many of us struggle different battles. I watch your videos almost daily now. You are such an inspiration to not be a giver upper. Your beautiful in mind body and spirit. Peter and Ollie are amazing too. I'm so glad you have their support. Humour is a great healer and many times when I can't find a smile I watch your videos and feel all of your fight fiest and fire. Thank you for sharing your journey. May you all be blessed.

[@2listening1]

3:38 I'm so proud of you for braving the hypertonic saline, Mary! So many CFers skip it.

[@victoriaobrien2599]

I found your videos about a week ago and I think you’re amazing. You don’t let anything get you down. Thank you for helping others realise that you can still have an amazing life even with a chronic illness xxx

[@sophieleanna9391]

Kudos to Nicole! And a million thumbs up for Mary. You are definitely not a giver upper. I'm amazed at how much you did today. Good job Mary! Just so happens that hubby had an emergency appendectomy yesterday. Because of you guys I was much more prepared to deal with the hospital experience. Tried my best to stay upbeat and positive in my role as caregiver. Luckily, he did so well that we got to come home this afternoon. Love you guys!❤️

[@justdaisy15]

Keep kicking butt Mary...You Got This!!!🙏🏼

[@kimkaye2219]

Aww Mary, you’re fighting so hard! You’re doing a fantastic job! So proud of you lady!

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

I think realizing your body's limitations is more like it. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see you at home again!

[@hilda1170]

Glad you gave yourself grace. You didn’t give up.

[@Torzv]

Glad you're doing better

[@katieknight4782]

I just finished watching the vlog and realized that I had been grinning the entire time! Thank you for bringing me joy! Keep doin what ya think ya can’t do! 💕

[@XK_tyX]

Food Service personnel in the hospitals can make or break it!♡

[@MissBrossart]

boy she has such an amazing husband and dog always love watching there vids

[@FunsizedStyle]

The reenactment of all of that when you said episodes and just describing all of it - I have not laughed that hard in days :) By the way, on the total opposite end of the spectrum - the way Ollie was laying on the hospital bed when Peter went for a walk - totally melted my heart!!

[@Juicyangel82]

It's so important to know when it's OK to push yourself but to also know your limitations and it's hard but you need to accept its ok to not force it and listen to your body xx

[@rmjames83]

It’s such a fine line-that “sweet spot” is so hard to gauge-(something I’m still not brilliant at). I have to remind myself a bit/something everyday is better than a lot whenever I can (as doing “lots” usually results in me not being able to do much for a day or so)-slow steady wins!!!

[@ejdoug8328]

Well, it looks like the cutest couple ever had a pretty decent day. You even kicked some butt there girl. In the words of goodybeats " you got up this morning so your already winning". You have my continued prayers.

[@maryreynolds5310]

Way to go Mary!

[@emilymoore3569]

Good job Mary!!! You are doing so good!!! I hope things continue to go well with your treatments and the surgery!! Praying for you ❤️

[@ashleyhalteman2856]

Praying for U Mary

[@sandraleaming9789]

Amazing how you have the utmost strength. Definitely admiring, you rock!

[@karynahern970]

Good luck with your surgery on Monday, everything is going to be ok. Praying for you and Peter. Love you both and Ollie too.💜💙🐶🙏

[@haleyaud7297]

You are my inspiration Mary!

[@kittymervine6115]

so if I order something, do you promise NOT to push to get it mailed? Or should I wait until you are back from the hospital? I want the new hat, but I also don't want you both to have to worry about getting anything out. Did I mention I ADORE my Frey Life sweatshirt with Ollie on the front? It's my happy shirt. It's hot out, but when you go INSIDE it's often TOO COLD. But, I smile when I wear that shirt and also, people either go "Oh I love the Frey Life!" or often ask about the shirt. "Who is Ollie?" and I get to take what you have taught me and pass it on!

[@SweetLikeHoneyDew]

Kitty Mervine Peter already said he was sending out packages early on in the video... So probably not. They only do that when they're traveling somewhere.

[@Nikkitoney]

Speedy recovery mary

[@naomicarrier1733]

I just ordered from your shop today !! Love y’all and praying for you Mary 🦋🌷🙏♥️

[@DanisLife]

I decided to do my research paper on biology on cystic fibrosis. I can’t wait to learn so much more on it. I wanted to do it on gastroparesis which is what I have but teacher said no tothe topic. Always pushing myself way to hard then I pay for it for days.

[@glennthompson7525]

Impressive effort to get after it Mary!! Thanks for sharing and kudos to all 3 of you for working hard together!

[@sonias9722]

I’m always looking forward to your videos, you do something funny even when there’s not much to work with (one single room!) and when things are hard. Definitely not giver-uppers. :)

[@shirleypilger1705]

We really, really do know your brave. Braver than most of us. We think you are brave to fight when you can, and even braver still when you say "I can't." It is very brave to cry when you need too, too.Today my entire body hurts, like the fibromyalgia has spread to my smaller muscles. I did not cry because my granddaughter was here. After she left, I just went to sleep. Peace, Love and Light!

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Shirley pilger I have fibro and have a one year old granddaughter. I used to keep her two days a week but had to stop. I cried my eyes out! My hubby and I are keeping her this afternoon and I always push myself top hard. But, I refuse to miss out on playing with her!! Hope you are feeling better today!

[@Micha-fb1gp]

So fun seeing you enjoy the Nintendo DS XL, I couldn't tell if it was the 3d or not but either way so fun and great way to pass time! Mario has always been my favorite console game! Great seeing you push through, I had day surgery the other day that didn't go so well, my body didn't take to the medication very well. But they did biopsies and are looking for stomach cancer. I took my do what you think you can't do sweater with me to remind me I can do it. And it was much needed. Thank you for the inspiration, hang in there with your tough days upcoming, I'm rooting for you, so nice to have oliver and Peter with you. Hugs from your deaf viewer😊

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

Holy moly. I ended up in ER during chemo sessions. The dr was like um, your counts are really high. That’s concerning, then he realized i am on Nupogen. He was like, phew, ok. Lol. I think it was like 53000 wbc. Lol. Wishing you the best....

[@jenniferburger2710]

Squeeze the Bag, if its ok we may have to do this when my daughter isnin the hospital. She spends a lot of time in the hospital at times Anything to make hospital life fun, you are such an inspiration and Peter your support to Mary is amazing.

[@wildbanshee1]

O my love for u mary is like a proud family member u battle through all this and still av a smile i always wait say goodbye to ollie with love and prayers from my home to u in hospital xxxx

[@2listening1]

Mary, I hope Rachael is proud of how you played Mario! 13:39 "OH. DOZE ARE BAD GUYYYYSSSS!" HAHA! XD

[@crystalschneider3605]

Praying for you

[@morphman30]

I'm glad they gave you a distraction from hospital life. Games can be fun sometimes.

[@cellogirl11rw55]

6:17 So cute!

[@2listening1]

13:29 ...."walk....!" Ollie gets triggered; head tilt! HAHA! :D

[@ksueconleymattsmom4735]

I love you guys. You are in my daily prayers..

[@aubreyrose3878]

I hope you enjoy playing Mario on the DS as much as I do! It’s a fun way to pass the time. Sending positive vibes your way Mary and Peter!

[@annaeinfeld7283]

Keep up the hard work. Mary you inspire me everyday to keep trying even when things get tough.

[@Traderof4]

I hope you feel better.

[@sarahkelly5254]

👍👍 up for Mary!!

[@wandapitzen3636]

Yay, Nicole, for being so nice!! Thumbs up, Mary. Hang in there, girl.

[@shannonwelsh5830]

So proud of you for listening to your body! PS... your flowers are beautiful. 💐

[@jordynbouch8423]

Super awesome Mary👍👍👍 You both are so encouraging and these videos always make my day💙

[@LadyTracyAnne]

I'm sorry that your having a hard time of it Mary 😔 Fingers crossed you don't have too much of a setback after surgery I'm glad your white cell count is up 😊 I hope you have a nice weekend 💖💖💖💖 xxxxxx

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Mary, you are so funny with the game boy haha!! I never played one but I’m sure it will help keep you entertained while in the hospital!! This vlog really made me smile! You guys amaze me at how you can even make hospital vlogs interesting! Good job working out and not giving up, Mary!! Hugs to you all!!💕😘

[@WyntersFrost]

Still praying every Morning for you. :)

[@MissTupsy]

Loved the prank!! Ha ha...that's great! Mary you look great for all you've been through. I also love how Ollie took over your bed!! 😂😂 He's sooo o adorable!! Stay strong Mary. You're doing great. Praying for you both!🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

[@mamabear8565]

I’m terrible at pushing myself too far, too often. Trying to accept that I’m sick & have limitations I didn’t before is a really hard thing to wrap your head around. Especially when that’s not in your personality.

[@dawnwilson4286]

Hugs and love!!

[@djlawlz4041]

I love the “I’m not a giver-upper!”

[@fralinsandfriends]

You simply mean you don't like to admit when you reach your limit. Don't beat yourself up.

[@Alicia-kf9lq]

Mary your so Beautiful. God bless you three xxxxx

[@darciclark4991]

Ok that re-enactment was freaking hilarious!!

[@kimbo500]

You're doing a great job Mary! You did so much in one day! You have good reason to be proud of yourself!! I was at the gym Friday, and a few of us have the same diagnosis, and we ALL have really been struggling lately. I think it is our hot/humid weather right now, that is making things worse. This is when people really see, how difficult that 'balance' is. The slightest bit too much, can make you have a flare up lasting several days. I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day, because I am to be going to a Service Dog Organization Open House/Graduation! I REALLY want to go, because I have some questions for them regarding their 'owner training' program. Fingers crossed, and saying some prayers!! :)

[@FroggyGirl90210]

I'm so proud of Mary & her resilience with all she deals with on the daily but even more so at the hospital stays when we know its not always great. Sending love & prayers to you guys 😘😘😘❤❤❤🐸🐸🐸

[@fuzzywuzzy588]

Thumbs up for Mary :) Sometimes finding balance is very hard ,when one doesn't have many options

[@courtneycox8297]

Thumbs up for you guys and for Nicole!

[@kristinwallace6551]

Love you guys, you are both very inspirational people and I love your attitude and outlook on life! I don’t have cystic fibrosis but I do have lots of chronic health conditions including eds and I totally understand how difficult it is to manage them and how hard having to be in the hospital is. I love the idea of having a comfy pad is for the bed do you remember where you got it? Best of luck and keep smiling and laughing!

[@VelveteenBippy]

Y'all are so funny! Glad today wasn't so bad. Got my sweatshirt. Can't wait to snuggle up in it! xox

[@Julia-en5ys]

Wow Mary, that was an active hospital day!!

[@ameliaswiatek2558]

Even at your weakest you are incredibly strong 💪💪💪

[@hannahmariellewellynllewel7128]

My day was ruff but with mary sing it made my day with smile thank u Mary and Peter 👦👧🐕🎤🎵🎶

[@Haysalto]

Omg Mario on the 3DS is so fun!! Great way to spend some time 😍

[@lightofmine124]

Yay neupogen worked! Staying in the fight with ya! Praying continually!

[@AlejandraGarcia-ix6ge]

Hello Mary and Peter, keep up the great work! Your vlogs are very inspiring and just so good, I learned so many new medical stuff and they have helped me cope with current issues I've been going through. Thank you very much! P.S: I, too, am a medical nerd and will soon be starting nursing school 😃 Also, the console Mary used to play Mario is a Nintendo 3DS, my second favourite console my first being the Playstation 4

[@holly1610]

Your hospital pranks are hilarious!

[@beadyarngal83]

You are doing great Mary! I loved your expression on the gameboy. I was laughing really hard. So cute. I love how Ollie "fist bump" on peter's hand. I just love you guys! You bring smile to my face when I watch you! :) :)

[@krisy_87]

your doing great to peter!!

[@ErinAndParker]

When my body is done and I'm "giving up," I call it "tapping out"! It has a better connotation and doesn't make me feel bad haha :)

[@sunkissG]

Awesome fighting! I had someone remind me yesterday to keep fighting because I felt like giving up; it’s been a rough week. Lots of love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@wheelchere]

I can relate to accepting changes. The older I'm getting the more my body is not able to do what I could before and it feels really defeating.

[@Pinkyhotwheels]

Watching Mary play (& get extremely into it) Gameboy is the highlight of the whole vid for me! 😂😂

[@sharonhonsvick7751]

You've got this Mary. I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time.

[@sandraleaming9789]

Words such as "I'm sorry" and "you've got this" are very inconsiderate.

[@sandraleaming9789]

As a cancer survivor, Having an illness, you just don't know what the outcome will be. Multiple readings of "sorry" can be discouraging.

[@sharonhonsvick7751]

No they are not it wasn't meant for you Sandra willy it was for Mary and Peter and if they have a problem with it they can say so not you. You don't know what I'm going threw either so if I want to say sorry you are having a hard time it is my right.

[@slorabinters2776]

When you work at a hospital, you just don't go around saying "I'm sorry" or "You've got this" just seems so inconsiderate. I understand where you are coming from Sandra. Sharon, If you suffer a terminal illness, then you should know better.

[@sharonhonsvick7751]

Sliroa binters I do have a chronic illness and I don't care if people say I'm sorry you are having a hard time. I'm sorry you don't have a freakin heart I was trying to show compassion. You guys need to quit judging others and I've worked in a medical field and never had a patient care when I said I'm sorry you aren't feeling well.

[@gailsinclair8011]

👍🏻👍🏻 for Mary

[@mistycgrimm]

Love you, Mary!!! Good job! You are a fighter!!! 🌸💐🌷🌹

[@itssewxtra1713]

I had a pink gameboy, I loved it! I think that would be a good tool for boredom for sure!!
