[@squidreuel]

i have been an RVer since 1984, full time the first 10 years, now just 4 months in the winter, this has to be the best RV channel on youtube, its real things that happen on the road, i recommend to subscribe if you are a serious RVer like me.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you so very much! Your comment made our day.😊

[@roost3r]

Oh Liz and Paul. Bless you both. We are so happy that you are on the mend, Liz. Thank you so much for sharing with you all have been dealing with.. I think it's great healthy advice that you've shared. We'll be praying that the symptoms that you're feeling post-surgery pass as quickly as possible. So glad to see you both again.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi J! Thanks so VERY much for being with us through thick and thin! It's been a long ordeal and we are SO glad to have that behind us!!!

[@carolschutter1015]

I heard you say that your insurance provider determined that your surgery was “elective” so you paid a higher amount. It sounds as though your insurance provider simply needs additional information on your case. It’s appropriate to call the doctor who did the surgery and explain what happened and ask them to send a letter of explanation to your insurance provider. I can’t guarantee that they will pay but it’s certainly worth the effort. I worked in insurance for over 20 years and learned that it usually means not enough information was given at the time of billing. Best of luck. I enjoy your videos even though I no longer have my RV.

[@missthready]

The insurance for those over 65 is not necessarily what you stated. Never never never get a Medicare Advantage plan!!! Medicare part A and B with a supplement is the best! At least that is my humble opinion.

[@artie360]

Wow, Liz, so glad you’re on the mend and in spite of your infirmity you look great, but this has really taken a toll on Paul. He still looks totally spent. He really cares for you and it shows. God bless you both!

[@kerrie-leebritnell6050]

I am so glad that you are okay and on the road to full recovery. As a Canadian, we have health care at no cost to the patient. That is changing a bit now, but for the most part, everything is covered. We have no idea of what hospital bills look like!

[@LizAmazing]

We love CANADA!!!! And we hope to visit someday soon.

[@Group_of__]

So happy to hear this good news! Liz, I want you to continue healing, so I am offering a tip here, please refrain from crossing your legs! It is horrible for your back. I just want to see you keep well my dear. God bless you Paul, for all you do.

[@LizAmazing]

Oops!!! I will try to do better about that. Thank you! And yes, Paul is a keeper!!!

[@roseannecoger4383]

It is so nice to see you up and around Liz…Paul you are amazing!

[@Lady-Seawulf]

So happy to hear Liz is on the mend!! 💗 Paul you are so right about "insurance sucks" (That's a subject best explored later). It's just great to see you two love birds back again and smiling!

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Colleen! Thanks so much for your comment and for being with us. We have missed seeing you! Feels so good to be back.

[@Greg_Gatsby]

I've been subscribed since there were less than 5k subscribers and I must say, Liz, you're hooking up with Paul is the best possible turn of events that's come your way since you first took to the road. You are both blessed to have each other. I will try to watch your ads to help you earn another two or three cents per view because you've certainly encountered some expenses. Travel safe and get yourself a good chair to support you.

[@jennyd8826]

This is interesting.... I’m not a big techy person.... I understand that the more subscribers one has the better their chances for being paid, but not sure how this works. So you mentioned watching the ads..... that helps the youtuber? Is it necessary to watch ad to end to get benefit?

[@TheLakingc]

@@jennyd8826 we pay monthly and assume out tubes...tubies...get paid. I don't know. I could be on YT 24/7 . So interesting and was a God send for beginning RVing. I had not a clue. Never had even been in one or close to one. It was so big, it was intimidating! But I got used to it. It is only 25 ft, but pretty tall. Like a dinosaur i thought. I only bought it because i was impelled to do so. I figure it was due to so many evacuations from fires. But, once i used it, wow, loved it! I am learning about Diesel trucks on YT now. I also learn how to paint, make cards, and jewelry...most anything! Nice to have so much fun!

[@Greg_Gatsby]

@@jennyd8826, I have limited insight to the mechanisms employed by KZbin to compensate the content creators. KZbin is a business that offers a way for content creators to share their thoughts, experiences, and their expertise with others. I am part of the world population who enjoys watching KZbin videos and be entertained or enlightened or both. With that large viewing audience, commercial businesses want to advertise to show their products and services to the same viewing audience. So, KZbin has a way now to compensate creators and one way to do that is with the program they call “ad sense” (or some similar sounding name). Viewers who watch KZbin can often skip ads, but those who do watch the ads generate some small amount of revenue for the content creators such as Liz Amazing. As I understand it, if you watch the first 30 seconds of an advertisement, it counts as if you watched the entire ad, at least for the purpose of generating ad sense revenue for the content creators. I’ve noticed some ads are much longer than the videos I watch. The ads of Doctor Gundry, if you’ve ever seen one of those, can easily run 30 minutes or more. Some content creators I am willing to help by watching the ads. Some I’m not interested in doing that. The content creators seldom have any control over whose ads are shown, but then some videos have paid sponsors. If a content creator is deemed controversial, their content can be demonetized which means KZbin is not willing to compensate that particular video. So, to summarize, KZbin does compensate the content creators and watching the ads contributes to their compensation.

[@sandrasmith5577]

Absolutely educational! Just a couple sharing is what we need more of in this world. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for reminding me to get to a specialist for MRI and don’t wait! You two are in my prayers. Looking forward to seeing what you teach us next!

[@rrichardson53]

Yay! So glad you’re doing better! What an ordeal you’ve been thru. Excellent video covering the mistakes you made so others can avoid injury and know better what to do if they do get hurt. Look forward to see your upcoming video showing interior changes you made. So glad you have each other for care and support!

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, we are feeling so very fortunate! Thanks Rebecca!

[@moandjen]

This is what we are going through. We was ready to start our dream and Mo was diagnosed with throat cancer. Although we thought we had good insurance we are overwhelmed with medical bills. The copays are astronomical. Don’t even get me starters on the medications! Our health system HAS to change! We are so happy you got the help you needed Liz! And my (Jen) heart goes out to you Paul being the caregiver. Often I find myself just feeling clueless as to what to do to help. We enjoy your channel so much and happy to see y’all back!!

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Jen and Mo. So sorry you are going through this. On top of a health crisis you also have to deal with insurance. We feel you and hope Mo feels well enough to travel soon, if only for short trips. Big hugs to you both!

[@debyarger3084]

So glad your on the road to recovery and getting back to RVlife

[@irapickard6775]

So glad to hear that Liz is healing and able to move around. Back pain is horrible. Been there myself as a 30 year old. Hate to go through that at 63. Y’all’s videos help me a lot, thanks!

[@LizAmazing]

Oh no! At 30, wow. Thanks for your kind words Ira, we are so glad to have you with us! Hugs!

[@angelaisland4036]

I’m so sorry Liz to hear how much pain you were in! Thank you for sharing your advice! You are both amazing!

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Angela, we love having you on our team!

[@shannawathen2787]

So glad you are recouping Liz. I have felt so bad for you and am happy you have found relief. I have degenerative disc disease, a couple bulging discs in my lower back, a pinched nerve in my neck and sciatica. I have had short term fixes but no surgeries. Was told to go home and live with it by one ortho dr. Neurosurgeon told me he could do surgery and i would feel better short term but then would be worse. I came home and just live with it. No pain meds as i have adverse reactions to many medications. Pray you continue to heal. And your "arm candy" (Paul) is a great guy. Love from Iowa.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Shanna! So sorry you are dealing with this. Yikes. I hope you find some answers. The good news is they are constantly coming up with new solutions so maybe there is something on the horizon for you. I hope you get some relief soon!

[@mattmlmlml]

One of the things I like best about your channel is how you both persevere in tough times. Thank you for sharing your story and future plans to stave off injury.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so much for saying so! We love you!!!

[@heatherr296]

I’m so glad to hear how much better Liz is doing. It will take your body time to completely heal, but I have every confidence you’ll be back to 100%. On a different topic, I bought a Lectric bike on your recommendation. I have read and watched LOTS of reviews and they were all positive, but knowing your (especially Paul’s) expertise, I felt confident it was the right bike for me. It just got here and I haven’t had a chance to unbox it, but I’m sure I’ll love it. I’m looking forward to more video adventures from you. ❤️❤️

[@LizAmazing]

wow, that's awesome Heather! We have a review on those coming up. We were very pleased. Congrats and happy riding to you!

[@liset6347]

Hey, you two, so happy you finally got the procedure you needed and are on the mend. We all should count our blessings. I know we do knowing our health is covered. ❤️🤓🇨🇦✌🏼

[@livinthegoodlife846]

Liz & Paul, so wonderful to see that you are recuperating. What a major accomplishment for you to come back. We have all been sending our best energy your way. You remain the heart of our A team family.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you, we so appreciate your support. YOU are the best of the best of the A Team!

[@Tatiacha]

oh wow so glad you were able to get the treatment you needed it shows in your face and demeanor how much better you are feeling! :-)

[@Theplumber711]

I really like you guys. Your straight up without an angle. I learn from you. There I said it. Good luck on the back Liz and thanks Paul for taking care of Biz and probably helping me from a tail swing accident.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you so much! Glad we could help, and glad to have you with us!

[@aboveallexplore9165]

Just love you two so much and your perspective. Love this whole video. So happy you’re doing better keep healing GO SLOW.

[@LizAmazing]

Awww, thank you so much! We love you too!!! Thanks for the advise. Yes, I must be careful now.

[@pupcamper58]

So glad to hear you are on the mend Liz what a horrible ordeal to have to go through. Thank you for sharing all that valuable information with us. Safe travels. Hope to see you down the road.👍🏻❤️

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you much! And we will be doing an insurance update at some point so stay tuned!

[@richardkoch8752]

NFORMATION: My wife has worked at a large Medical Clinic for thirty years. She works in the insurance pre-certification dept. It's her job to try to convince Insurance companies to pay for the services including surgeries that your Doctor has ordered. She is your advocate. She calls the insurance company with your information and Doctors information. Not uncommon for her to spend a hour on hold getting switched from person to person trying to find a decision person. This is usually a Insurance Company Nurse who will make the initial decision if you really need the services or surgery. That Nurse doesn't know you, has never met you, doesn't know your Doctor but yet that Nurse can and does make the decision that your Doctor misdiagnosed, or it's a elective surgery and not needed. Once denied my wife request a "pier to pier" which is the Insurance Company Doctor talking to your Doctor.....again their Doctor has never met you or seen your illness or problem in person. Again, their Doc will usually turn down the request for services payment. Then it goes to a appeal..........while this is going on you are still sick or hurting. ALSO: For us Medicare aged people especially this time of year with the sign up time period upon us...........DON'T GO WITH ALL IN ONE Carriers for your coverage. They are private companies and you can go through the aforementioned nightmare. MEDICARE from the Government along with a quality Supplement is your BEST OPTION. Medicare through the Government usually does not require pre-certification. In VERY rare situations they might require a alternative treatment process......but if that doesn't work your Medicare & Supplement have you covered except for a very minimal yearly deduction ($180.00) ORIGINAL MEDICARE & QUALITY SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE is the very best way to go. PLEASE be nice to Insurance Pre-Cert people on the phone......they work hard for you!

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks RIchard! Very good and helpful information, and thanks to your wife, too!

[@richardkoch8752]

@@LizAmazing You are very welcome Liz! I hope your procedure gets you back to 100 percent. As a suggestion, I would try again with your Insurance Companies decision. Ask for a appeal....never hurts to try. Paul is so right about Gov. Medicare and a supplemental. They accepted me on the supplement with no problem.....that's after ankle reconstruction, total knee replacement, stroke, thyroid tumors removal, meniscus repair, heart attack with three stints, ongoing spinal stenosis, spinal scoliosis, herniated & ruptured discs...I'm a mess!!!! LOL...........sure not "cheap to keep" LOL!!! Along with Government Medicare and outstanding supplemental insurance from Omaha that use to sponsor "The Wild Kingdom" we still have my wife's work health insurance .......things are well covered. Paul, you are a awesome guy as I am with my wife........Liz, I wish you the VERY best! God's blessing and a hug your way!

[@thomcolby8975]

Hi Liz & Paul, We watch & enjoy all of your videos. I wanted to let you know I had the same surgery as you in 2002. Micro L4/L5. My recovery was quick at the time with a follow-up epidural about 6 weeks later. The past 2 years, 2020 & December 2021, I've had several more epidurals and lots of physical rehab. Best of luck as you continue to recover and wish you all the best in 2022. Regards, Thom

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you so much Thom. Glad you got through it. The surgery really has been a life saver for me. I'm doing yoga daily and getting stronger each day. It's now been eight weeks since surgery. I still limp but that will probably go away. Wishing you and your back all the best!

[@JulieBeyerRDN]

Oh my gosh you look and sound so good, Liz! So glad you were able to get the surgery and that you feel better! Love you both!

[@LizAmazing]

Love you, too, Julie! So VERY glad to have this ordeal behind us!

[@catdi5714]

I hope you feel better soon. I can’t take pain. You are lucky Paul is helping you. Best wishes and prayers.

[@janaspencer6008]

So wonderful to see you happy, smiling and laughing! Hard to believe that your insurance considered that elective surgery. I think you need to pursue that pain in the butt further. This wasn't cosmetic surgery for God's sake. Paul is right - medical care sucks - I have been an RN over 35 years. Unfortunately, I have been dependent on medical care most of the last 3 years. So happy you are much better!! ❤️

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Jana! Yes, I think I may need to appeal this! It would be way cool if your maiden name happened to be Ten Bieg!

[@Jjpent]

Glad to hear you’re better. Had the same procedure 3 weeks ago, by a neurologist. Took my medical team 11 months of therapy, epidurals, MRI, X-rays to finally do the surgery! From having sciatica pain/numbness from L4/5 area down to my toes. Good to hear, keep up the exercise to get better!

[@LizAmazing]

Oh no, so sorry you have been down this same road! WIshing you all the best with your healing.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Glad you’re on the road to healing, it shows in your face. Yes, your health care system sucks big time & while ours has issues, at least we don’t have to fret over costs for most surgeries. I’m reading a book called “Younger Every Year” and they propose that when we’re over forty we need to move every day. I need to start to like yoga, it will do amazing things for this 63 yo body.

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, that sounds like a good plan. I am a runner and won't be able to run until February, per my surgeon. BUT the 30+ days in bed probably did not help my fitness, prob lost a lot of muscle. So in addition to yoga and running, I plan to resume my moderate weight training. Happy health to you!

[@marghardin7303]

Wonderful book that I’ve been reading and referring to for several years- now trying to implement all their suggestions! That’s the hard part for me; but what use is it to live to 80 or beyond if you can’t do the activities you enjoy!

[@LizAmazing]

@@marghardin7303 Indeed!

[@BA-qb1ee]

so glad you are better. How cool you were able to have a procedure that was minimally invasive.

[@laurakilmer8652]

Thanks so much. This is a topic that No One that I know of has talked about in RV life. I experienced some of this when living in an rv and building a cabin in TEnn. for 3 summers. I missed a comfortable chair so BAD. Thanks for probably the MOST helpful rv video ever. Charley

This is such a high compliment!!! Thanks so much for making our day, Laura! Enjoy that cabin.

You absolutely need to dispute this with insurance! Squeaky wheel gets the grease !! I have had the same surgery the first time had 4 surgeries since but my disc blew out the wall ! NEVER had my insurance claim elective surgery!! Take care

Thank you, Tanya! Whoa about your disc!!!

[@bellexc1071]

Just a suggestion You can ask for the bill to be resubmitted with the codes changed to necessary and not elective. The billing office knows the correct codes. Worth pursuing

We were very happy to see you again. It looks like you got the right help and are.healing. Vinny had a microdiscectomy in the same location in 2008. The pain before the surgery was practically unbearable. There was still pain after the surgery for two or three weeks, but it got progressively less and was pretty much back to normal after a month. Go easy on yourself and give yourself time to heal. Don't overdo it. We're sure you'll be fine. Our prayers are with you. Kim and Vinny in CT

[@wandrousvindella716]

So relieved to see you both, cheerful & optimistic as always. Prayers have been going out. We're both retired from careers in pathology & understand the issues in health care. We've seen it all in 4+ decades. Our national network referral is somewhat connected and especially on the east coast. Your surgery is definitely not elective and insurance providers are greedy. Keep us in mind for referrals when in the southeast, especially the Atlanta & Charleston areas. Prayers for healing~ Wanda&Vinnie (Liz I need to get back to my yoga/pilates also) Paul thank you for your service, thought of you yesterday on Veterans Day.

[@pepperwa]

Have you appealed the insurance ruling? Document the bills, coverage, etc. and send it first to the Insurance Co one more time, then file it with the Insurance Dept of the state where your policy application was written. One thing Insurance companies don’t like is complaints filed with State Insurance Department.

[@leonajameson8902]

So glad you had the surgery and you are doing better. What an answer to prayer

[@LizAmazing]

Indeed it was. Thanks Leona!

[@kathyk3974]

I’m so happy for you. I know surgery isn’t for everyone but it was the only thing that worked for me. After four weeks of excruciating pain I had surgery for my herniated disc and within a short time I was back at work and back to living my life. I had a micro-neurosurgeon and have about a one inch incision. Whenever I have had a massage since that time they are always shocked by how small the incision is. It sounds like you made some good choices once you realized just how serious your problem was. Take care of yourself and take time to heal.

[@LizAmazing]

I'm glad you had this, too. I also have a one inch incision. I have heard from folks who have been "opened right up" in surgery. The recovery is so long and painful. And they are not allowed to even go up steps for weeks. For us, that would have meant moving into a hotel. Feeling so lucky!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@123jcgraham]

I’m so glad Liz got the surgery!!! Now she can move on with her life. Like I told you. I had instant relief when I had mine. The sensations will get better with time. I found that by laying flat on my back on the floor & bending both legs, pull one leg up over the other one & pull that leg up a little to stretch the back of your bad leg. Helps a lot. But that should be after she heals completely. 💕💕💕

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Carolle. Yes, instant relief after surgery. No stretching allowed yet but I am finding it feels good to lay flat on the floor with both legs bent. So grateful for the surgery!!!

In 97 I hurt my back. In 99 after conservative treatment, I had a laminectomy at L5/S1. Due to a spinal fluid leak, a 2nd surgery was done. My two lessons after surgery was strictly follow rehab orders and not due to much too soon. It takes approximately one year for full healing. Your description of different approaches by doctors is correct.

So good to see you both upright! It is important to have an agreement that if one or the other is in pain or otherwise compromised let the other make decisions. We’ve learned this lesson for each other and helping others. When someone is in pain or in a compromised position they are not capable of making clear decisions. My husband had a herniated disc and was down for over two months. I cannot imagine having to go through something like this while on the road.🤦‍♀️ take good care.❤️

Medicare and Tricare for life has saved my life in that it has taken not only the expense and worry out of my life but given me access to quality healthcare. I feel for those of you that don’t have access to this. Liz I’m just so glad you are doing better and can get back to doing what you love. Kudos to Paul.

I am so glad that you are better. We all learn the hard way sometimes but we learn so much through the journey. You both look good and relaxed. Thank you for sharing your story to help others.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks, Barbara! We are so glad to have you with us through all this!!!

[@Dockwatcher]

Nothing worse than back pain. I am so happy that you are feeling better. Hope you have a full recovery.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you much! Here's our newest video about the changes we made to our RV to add a home office: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3ezanSQoqxsa6c

[@general2605]

Dispute your claim with your insurance and if necessary have the doctor document the REQUIRED/NECESSARY surgery codes!!

[@blj859]

So glad your healing!!! Certainly agree with Paul, insurance companies and casinos have the same goal.

[@LizAmazing]

They sure are. Someone said insurance and casinos have the same business plan!

[@paulparadis916]

Good to see you guys again and I am glad Liz your feeling much better. Thank you for sharing all this...........take care now and I look forward to the changes in the camper.

[@neda2820]

Good you are doing better and got to the help you needed. Protest the insurance! I stopped going to chiropractor with my back when I was hurting more after treatment. Unfortunately chiropractors sometimes continue with treatment when they shouldn’t because they think they can cure everything. I hope you stay close to Mobile to get continued care for a while. It’s a fun city and area to explore.

[@Sergio54321]

I’ve had two lumbar spine surgeries and one cervical fusion and have used a neurosurgeon each time. Surgeries went great with no complications. Glad you’re feeling better.

[@LizAmazing]

Yay! So glad that worked for you. I am so very grateful for my surgery. Thanks for your comment and see you in our latest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ-vp6GJabpmndU

[@rmahlbacher]

So glad to hear you are feeling better and the surgery went well.

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, Bob, we are SO very happy- and relieved to get some relief!

[@kathydembek1383]

Wow Liz so glad you are feeling better 🥰 Paul you are such an amazing caregiver , my husband is too. When you have that support you feel like you’ll get through anything. Love your channel 😎

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so very much Kathy, we love you! And see you in our brand new video right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5qQaqxuotFnaJY

[@judytyler1870]

So glad you are on the mend Liz. It is really tough to be sick in the camper in an area you aren't familiar with what is available. Thank heaven you finally received the care you needed. It is pretty scary that it took so long to receive the correct treatment. I hope you are completely well very soon! What a lucky thing you were there Paul!

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Judy! Yes, we are feeling so very grateful right now. And SO glad to have this ordeal behind us! Thanks for watching and commenting, we love you!

[@garylovio1180]

Wow Liz. Im so happy to see you improving. It’s wonderful to see you both again. It’s absolutely appalling that the insurance company could coldly state that your surgery was elective. I don’t know how they can sleep at night. God bless you both!!

[@dianehansen704]

So happy you are feeling better! Take care.

[@deannaberg8456]

I knew you were wanting to avoid surgery but I had the exact same thing. And I also wanted to avoid surgery. But once it was decided that’s what I needed I never thought I would be so excited about a surgery. I’m so happy you were able to get it done once you decided. It can’t be elective surgery. You need to fight that. How was it when you woke up? My pain was completely gone. Like day and night. Take care and prayers for complete healing.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Deanna! Yes, I might need to give my insurance folks a call!

[@pattyk8594]

So happy you are feeling better again! Paul you did a good thing taking care of Liz during this time! :o)

[@LizAmazing]

He sure did!!! Thanks Patty!

[@joanharris8057]

I had sciatica a few years ago. Sitting just made it worse. It was so painful but not as incapacitating as yours. Glad the surgery has helped you! My niece has been battling sciatica for some time and taking narcotics but still in pain.. The MRI showed that she needed surgery which she had last week and is doing better. Hope you get stronger every day.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Joan! I found that narcotics didn't touch this kind of pain so I stopped using them. I did get a little relief from Cyclobenzoprine which I got in week three. It allowed me to sleep through the pain somewhat. I'm glad your niece got the surgery and glad to hear she is doing better!

[@winginitwithjohn8451]

I had that very same surgery in 1996. A pro sports medicine doctor diagnosed and did the procedure as outpatient. 9 days after, the pain was gone, and I've never had a flare up. Hope you recover as well.

[@LizAmazing]

Yay! So glad to hear the good report. Hugs to you!

[@dondartt684]

Yes, they fixed you. That’s a big stress reliever for the two of you. You sound wonderful, it’s time for you guys to get back to normal.

[@LizAmazing]

It sure is. We are more than ready to start living life again and have some fun. We have lots of new and exciting videos planned, see you then!

[@csmith9189]

Glad Liz is healing! Blessings to both of you. Thanks for the update.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you, it feels so good to be back. We missed you!!

[@gladyswilson6479]

I am so glad you are OK Liz. I sit for hours for my job and I have started doing a lot of back exercises, because my lower back is awful. Hang in there Paul. Thanks for being there for Liz.

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, we are hearing sitting is the worst you can do. Take care of your back!!! Thanks for your comment, Gladys.

[@ceciliapetrowsky2572]

This is why standing desks have become so popular. We are not made for sitting. If you have to sit, get up and stretch and walk every hour. Also, strengthening your core helps with the back.

[@RVbroke]

Oh Paul and Liz! So good to see both of your faces. Call it what it is...a miracle to find such a good dr. to help you! Take care!

[@LizAmazing]

Hi you two! Definitely was a stroke of luck or a miracle to find that doctor.

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Glad your ok Liz good thing you have Paul with you hope you feel better ❤️‍🩹

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you so much, Brian! Life is good!

[@susanbrandon4103]

So glad you’re doing better. Nothing compares to back Pain. Please take it easy!!!

[@LizAmazing]

HI Susan! Isn't that that truth. Thanks for being with us through thick and thin!!!

[@lupitaolson7837]

Liz, had the same thing as you. Was in pain, pain. Thank God that i did not go to a chiropractor. Had surgery, I thought I was in heaven afterwards. It's been over 10 years and have not had any problems 🙏.

[@mysticmimi3924]

Ive worked for an Insurance company over 22 years. Make sure you appeal regarding elective surgery category. Make them explain all parts of your bill. If you are not satisfied, file a complaint to their Fraud Waste and Abuse department.Not saying any would help however, your understanding of all bills any payment is important so you do not get railroaded. :)

[@LizAmazing]

Good tips, thanks so much, Mimi!

[@alsims8280]

God Bless you Both! What an ordeal! I'm learning about RV life every time I see your notifications. Thank you for your honesty.

[@LizAmazing]

And thank you for being with us through thick and thin!

[@esthermcgough3995]

So glad you got the care you needed. Praying your healing

[@PeteLenz]

Lovely to see you both and how much better you are Liz! Paul, you’re such a blessing! Yes, we desperately need universal health care here in the US! Liz, healthy fats could help your nerve injury… indulge in avocados!

[@blujeans9462]

I am SOOO happy to hear this news and see you looking so much better, Liz. Wishing for a full recovery soon! :-) So glad you found someone knowledgeable!! All the very best!

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you very much!!! Glad to have you with us!

[@Modfrkt_75]

Agree with you Paul! Our healthcare is ridiculous. My Mother has been waiting on cancer surgery for months for various reasons and she has a malignant tumor. They are so worried about covering their a$$ it’s not even about patient care anymore. I’m so glad you are better Liz! What a truly scary experience. I hope you are able to get back to 100%.

[@LizAmazing]

Awww, Jen, so sorry about your mom. And thanks for the good wishes!

[@kalondiacasey]

I am so glad you are getting better, Liz. I know you and Paul have really been under so much stress through this medical crisis. You are so blessed to have landed in Mobile and get such great medical care. Hugs to you both!!!!!

[@sarahjackson6714]

So glad this horrible time is behind you! Thank God you have each other...

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, indeed! Thanks so much for being with us, Sarah!

[@rickysmith9733]

Happy to see you are doing better. Thanks for all the tips. My wife is retiring next March and we are hitting the road April 30 in our class a motorhome. Going on a 6 month trip from San Diego up into Yellowstone and Banif / Jasper parks. Have been witching your channel from pretty much the beginning and want to thank you for all your insights.

[@ceciliapetrowsky2572]

I knew about the Community Tab but it's not accessible if you are using an iPad unfortunately. You do NOT get notified of postings on the Community Tab and I have "rung the bell." Paul, you are a hero in this whole situation, especially since Liz was not able to take over part of the driving. The stress of that must have been unbearable. The fact that you found this doctor is a miracle! And that he was able to schedule surgery so quickly. It really is amazing. I also have to comment on your bike injuries...God! That's sounds horrible. Sounds like you were hit by a car. Not sure if I'd want to continue biking after that experience. Liz, you are looking amazing! Hope the other issues resolve in time. Please appeal the insurance decision because that's ridiculous. Thanks for the video, esp. the part of making sure you have a hefty emergency fund.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Cecilia. That is good to know about using an iPad, we had no idea. I guess if you don't hear from us for a while, just go to the Community Tab. Fortunately I am feeling great so we don't anticipate skipping any weeks. In fact, we have lots of new and exciting videos and can't wait to show you! Thanks for your kind words!!!
