Life is unpredictable

Life is unpredictable
About 2 or 3 months ago, Tina and I went to the Superstition Wilderness to backpack in Haunted Canyon. It started out great, but soon enough, things changed for the worse.
Don't take life for granted. Find what you love to do and go out and do it like today is your last day alive.
Oh, and maybe take a wilderness first aid course or two....

Wow. We are blown away by all the positive comments that we have received about this video. We thought that some people might have wondered what was going on and felt an update might be due. We truly appreciate each and every one of you and all of the encouragement you've given us.

Tina, you are very special. We love the humorous marital bantering in all of the videos you two share. Jerry, it's lovely to watch your concern and support for Tina. Get well quickly, Tina!

[@darrellv7988]

We have missed you Tina. Prayers for getting back to your desired level of fitness. Thanks for the explanation and sharing. A powerful reminder that we can’t take things for granted, and we need to be constantly on our guard for health issues.

My husband asked me the other day, "Where's Tina been?". I said she was probably working or something. So thanks for the uodate. So sorry to hear this and so glad it wasn't worse. Take good care of Tina and we are looking forward to a full recovery!!! We love and miss Tina! PS - Jerry we love you too!!! -Lisa Arizona

A diagnosis of congestive heart failure ended my career in search and rescue. Fine ever since the initial complaint but too risky to continue as a rescue climber. Several years later my physician says he thinks I had a heart attack. Always have had high blood pressure, and on several meds to control it. Since living full time at 7000’, I go to the hospital once a month to have 500 mls siphoned off. They tell me I’m producing too much blood to compensate for thin air. But hey, I’d rather die on a mountain than in a hospital bed! 8 years with NPS SAR taught me a lot, not the least of which is never leave a party member alone(especially your wife!). And always remember, the summit is optional, getting home is mandatory. Slow and steady Tina, you’ll get it back. Good luck and keep on keepin on!

I hope you feel better. The exact same thing happened to my sister. She is also a nurse, perfectly healthy. She got the shot and caught covid just like you. It also affected her heart badly. She has had to get a pacemaker and defibrillator put in. Please take care of yourself. Be careful.

Tina your personality is the best, your smile bellisima. Hope you continue to get better, stay sweet always...🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻We ❤️ you Tina ❤️

Scary experience for both of you! You guys are my favorite AZ hikers both for the excellent photography but also for the real way you present your experiences and humor you display. Tina: take good care of yourself and I’ll look forward to your return.

God Bless, having dealt with my own set of "random" health issues it can be scary... The best you can do is live your life and not let it impact you negatively... Easier said than done, but that is the best we can do with the card we're dealt...

[@brettbarr4811]

So glad to hear Tina is doing better! Having an episode like that in town is scary enough. To have it happen on trail adds a whole new dimension of fear. Just like in your epic Superstition hike, you listened to your body and made the smart decision! Prayers that Tina is back up to full hiking strength soon…Love ya Jerry, but Tina makes the channel complete.

[@rcovingtonable]

Ah mortality, I'm glad you listened to your body & didn't push it. Your videos are so amazing; I enjoy being along on the adventures. Feel better soon! ❤ Here's to many more trails.

[@jerryphillips7330]

Tina, I am glad you are felling better and hope for a full recovery. I hope you don't have what some people I know have what they call Covid Long Hauler symptoms. Then, it could take quite some time. Some people who have been vaccinated or others that have had Covid their bodies reacted differently. I heard of a runner and hiker that since the Vac can't hardly run or hike anymore, so I hope you are on the mends. Best of wishes.

[@mrs.castillo330]

Great reminder to listen to our bodies, and staying together. Tina, feel your best soon! Jerry, and Tina thanks for sharing your lives and adventures with us.

[@axcab3437]

So generous of you both to fill us in. Jerry is plenty entertaining on his own, but it's something wonderful "having you around". Please take good care of yourselves. Your support for each other is so endearing. Take your time getting to 100%. And even if your presence is limited at first, a little bit of Tina goes a long long way.

[@amywi8938]

So glad to hear that Tina is okay. Pretty scary! I am glad that it wasn't worse. As a nurse, we do tend to minimize our own health issues. You did the right thing by stopping and sticking with her. Tina, be well and take it easy coming back!

[@scottschroeder7626]

Sorry to hear what has happened. The same thing happened to my wife. She was vaccinated, caught Covid and had cardiac issues including rapid heart rate and high blood pressure. Took several months to get back to baseline. Glad to hear you are changing your diet and exercising. Hopefully, you will be able to taper off the blood pressure meds. Take care and will miss you in the videos. Flip off Jerry for me.

[@eveoflow]

We love your channel and watch regularly - such a personal and incredibly alarming situation you both experienced especially for Tina - we are glad you are okay Tina, definitely time to do as you mentioned with health and adjusting the sails so to speak and we wish you the very best in that

[@earleholt4380]

I always had low BP until being vaccinated. Am now on BP med for having higher BP than normal.

[@tbob1973]

Glad to see Tina is on the mend. An inspiration for us all. Thanks to both of you for letting us into your lives. Look forward to your return .

[@sheahill3340]

Prayers for Tina’s full recovery!
