recovering from major surgery... again [weekly vlog.]

[@lindagarner1320]

Loved seeing the Trilliums. For viewers outside of Ontario, they are the official flower of Ontario. Back in the 60s we were taught in school that it was illegal to pick them because they only bloom every 7 years. I'm glad you are recovering well and got good news.😁🇨🇦

[@nataliegraham9552]

They're beautiful. They are like ladyslippers in New England as far as being protected native flowers.

[@Cricket2731]

RE: Trilliums. It takes 7 yrs from seed to 1st bloom. After that, they bloom annually; only 1 flower per year.

[@Cricket2731]

​@@nataliegraham9552, Ladyslippers are also a type of native orchid.

[@craftyladybug411]

Jess, I’m so happy to hear you are cancer free. Piper missed you for sure. May you continue to be well! 💕💕💕

[@kriskeuler4455]

So good to see you ❤❤❤thanks so much for sharing 🙏🥰

[@erniefeline2215]

One of the best Mother's Day gift to give to your mom and family!!! You are now a NED.... No Evidence of Disease...... Wonderfully wonderful!!!

[@loveminis31]

I am so glad you mentioned the nightmare , oh my gosh those from surgery are the worse. I hope by now you got good news and and have healed up.

[@rosiedepetro8674]

Hi, Jess. First I want to say CONGRATULATIONS on being cancer free. That is totally awesome. You have such a great attitude about it all & you are a very strong & beautiful young lady (just like your mom) and you WILL make it through all of this. As the saying goes ... 'this too will pass'. Lots of love & prayers for you. Hello Holly.

[@bobs1356]

That type of cancer comes back. Right now it's hiding.

[@snoozieq4584]

CONGRATULATIONS 🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘 So happy to hear that all of the biopsies and pathology reports came back negative for cancer!!! That means the world to us! I'm sorry that you are still going to have to go through chemo. I wouldn't wish chemo on my worst enemy. At least you are ahead of the game when it comes to your treatment to completely conquer cancer. Not just beat it, CONQUER IT! Thank you for posting and can't wait to see you in the next one! 🥰🥰🤗🤗😘😘

[@alanphillips7253]

Your an inspiration, an example to us all, wishing you a speedy recovery and a long happy life when all this is a memory. Thank you ❤

[@DianeLee999]

I lost my only sister to liver cancer when she was just 18, and I was 17. I am over the moon that your labs showed no cancer! Your health brings me personal joy. 🌈💜🇺🇸

[@ede-jomadden8182]

Great to hear that you're cancer free. Still need chemo -- and always alert to changes in your body from now on. That's your new default setting. Thanks for letting us know! Sending love and blessings your way!

[@fernnewell6032]

I am glad to see you are doing well. Hopefully it is all a win from now on.

[@robincranford8360]

Jess, I loved Piper's expression when you asked her if she wanted to go for a walk. And the fact that she really wanted to roll. Speaking of rolling. I have a diabetic alert service dog. I was visiting a friend and letting Gracie my dog have some down time. She rolled too....in chicken poop🤢! Glad Piper was rolling in grass and flowers.

[@beckyp9700]

Very glad to hear "The All Clear" from biopsies. You have an amazing support system in person and online. You are not alone. You are very loved. Piper is getting so big! Are you and your mom feeding her miracle grow? LOL. See you in the next one.

[@dorissale4457]

Jess, prayers have been answered with your diagnosis!!!🎉 Piper is the best comfort friend and Holly is a REAL BEST FRIEND! Hard to find friends like her. You are in my thoughts. 😊

[@kailand3056]

Jess, congratulations on being cancer free - I couldn’t be happier for you and your family❣️🎉 I loved seeing you outside with Piper and out shopping with your friend ❤

[@quicksilvertears921]

We are still praying for you. Heal quickly, stay strong!

[@india1422]

I had a 5 hour surgery. I am astounded by the skills of the medical staff, the technicians, nurses, the kindness of the woman brininging my meals. I had 6 ivs when I came out of surgery and a week later I was walking around the ward like a racehorse. I’m glad that you are recovering so well.

[@suep9445]

So glad you've got the "cancer free" news, and are on the road to better and better. One unrelated cautionary note - adorable little Piper is vulnerable to putting her nose to the ground, then following her nose, ignoring pretty much anything else. It's just what they do.

[@joannejepson5333]

I’m only about 3/4 through the Vlog, but I had to stop to say CONGRATULATIONS!! And also that Piper is so dang cute!!! Ok, that’s all for now and thank you for letting us go on this journey with you. We love your mom so much, it’s just natural how much we care about you! ❤ And “Pipes” !!

[@marriedagain2008]

I am so happy to hear the good news! Piper is growing so fast. She's a cutie.

[@frankhiebert492]

So happy for you Jess!

[@bettyflinchbaugh3731]

Congrats on being cancer free! I could tell by the one photo of your parents a few days ago. The photos right before that one your folks looked so strained but once they got the news of you being cancer free made them look 10 tears younger! Go forth young woman, the rest of your life is a head of you! God Bless you and your family. All your Moms followers have been praying for you!

[@evelinagleisner930]

You’re so strong, sending lots of love from Sweden ❤

[@bcgrote]

Get some Bio Oil. Or colloidal bandages. Once the incisions are healed, start using those things for scar reduction. They really help!

[@tomcleghorn4005]

You have an amazing attitude Jess. Never ever loose that spirit !

[@Rondaford39333]

I’m glad you are doing better. I have been praying for you and your family, enjoy taking it easy for awhile. To soon you will be back to normal and busy busy busy. Thank god for the results of cancer free.

[@mahmoudkhsch]

I'm not religious, but I had you in my prayers, and It's incredible seeing you relieved from cancer, well done.

[@susanpendell4215]

That's crazy! You must not have had any stitches. I had to wait 6 weeks to drive or stairs, anything too physical.

[@lyndseymcbr-tc8lj]

@@susanpendell4215 I did I got cut right along my stomach my daughter grew outside the womb and it took 2 years after giving birth to get the hysterectomy so I felt great after it felt like all my pain was gone I stopped painkillers 4 hours after surgery

[@trippinggauntlet4520]

We moved house and I (28) was laying carpets 3 weeks after mine. Like you I had such an awful time before, I felt great, after the soreness from the incision was gone. The other ladies who were more age typical did take longer to heal.

[@leaveittolefty]

people need to give their bodies time to heal. everyone’s experience is different. it took months for me to heal after ovarian cancer debulking surgery

[@dideelala4794]

Hey Jess, I am one of mom's subscribers came over to check in on you. at 08:55 Piper just wanted to stop and smell the flowers

[@carrieanncancino5118]

♥️♥️I have surgery on Wednesday the 17th of May for a new feeding tube in my remnants of my stomach, which I had 85% removed back on October 22 2014. I've haved a feeding tube since January 14th 2014 but 10 months later I needed my stomach removed and during surgery the surgeon's were surprised that I had cancer in my stomach and intestines called Gastrointestinal stromal tumor which was malignant it's a rare form of cancer for women because it's mainly found in white men in their 50's and 60's. I was 43 when they found it. And because they found it so early I didn't need chemotherapy or radiation, just surgery and pet scans for 5 years after the cancer was removed. For the last year I had my belly healing from a bad infection where I had my tube in my stoma( the hole the tube is in from my intestines to outside my abdomen and outside my body. So I had it removed and had a ng tube in my nose for a year. Having a tube in my nose caused ulcers in both my nostrils and it's very painful and throat started having problems too like not being able to swallow like my muscles weren't working. I have to really thinking about those muscles to get them to work. So definitely need the surgery. I went to have surgery on April 6th but after getting the IV and about to get ready to go to operating room I was swabbed for COVID and it came back positive. I had no symptoms so I was A symptomatic meaning I had no idea I even had COVID 19. So they cancelled my surgery and said in a few weeks I'd be okay to have surgery. So may 17th sego for surgery. So I understand the feelings you have before surgery and the pain afterwards. I have surgery every 3 months to replace the feeding tube for the last years. Being put under and leaving the hospital with belly pain. Anyways you are going to heal quickly just take it easy for the next couple of weeks maybe like a month or so no lifting heavy items. And stay hydrated and take your pain relief meds too. We care about you sweetie. Your in our prayers ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️ God bless you ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 I

Prayers for your continued recovery.

For bad dreams: when you lay down to go to sleep, tell yourself you want calm, peaceful dreams, and repeat that til you fall asleep. I’ll just say “calm” over & over. It helps me. I hate those nightmares when you’re afraid to go back to sleep!! 🫣

[@auntieduckie3643]

The nightmares that keep you from going back to sleep are the worst!!!!

Excellent news about your surgery, fantastic news. You two girls are adorable together, I’m glad you had fun shopping together, you brought a big smile to this grandma’s face, so thank you. Enjoy the hammock and reading, lots and lots of reading.🤗

[@danielcooke7911]

Hey you are going to help millions of people world wide who will fight this same fight. I hide from my cancer for a while, not for any other reason that I’m a man and we bury our heads. Early detection and treatment saves lives. My biggest fear was the look, that one you get when you say cancer. Now 8 years later and I wish I had half the courage you have. Sending prayers for you and your family, one love

I loved the trilliums...I didn't know they were the official Ontario flower. And I'm so thrilled your reports came back clean. I have several friends doing the chemo dance this year. Not fun, but when it's a preventative rather than a deal breaker effort to wipe out an aggressive cancer, it will be much less stressful emotionally. Not a cake walk, but not a walk on hot coals. Onward and upward!

I was just telling my neighbor about you yesterday. She's going to Iceland this week and I'm watering her plants while she's gone. I told her about you renting a car and just checking off spots on the map and that you got most of them too. She's in her 60's and going with a group. Hey the legend of Jess keeps spreading!
