So so sorry to hear you are having such difficult issues. Prayers for you daily. I lost my Mom in November and it sent me into an MS flair. Not fun.

[@Souperat60]

I’m so sorry you lost your mom Kim. It’s a pain that never leaves. I miss my mom so much. I’m certain her death has a lot to do with my pain. I cannot believe it will soon be a year. I’ve missed her every single day. Lord bless you, Darlene

[@luciabriseno4065]

I am SO HAPPY you are doing better and your weight loss journey is going well. I lost 45lbs after getting sick last March. I had gotten toxic and nearly lost my life. I had been in the hospital 2 months and couldn’t walk. It was like my body cldnt remember how to walk. I spent another month in rehab receiving physical therapy and taking care of my wounds that i had. My life has been a mess since my husband passed away. I am SOOO BLESSED,,, My children have been taking care of me. I am temporarily living with my oldest daughter and I am walking good now. I’m still working on my balance and longevity in standing and walking. I’m Greatful to our dear Lord Jesus for carrying me through this time that I sometimes feel like i don’t even know who that person is looking at me in the mirror. But Just knowing I have Jesus on My side,,, I Know that I Know HE HOLDS MY HAND 🙏☦️♥️ Take care of yourself My Friend,,, God Bless You And Lou ❤☦️🙏

[@Souperat60]

I’ll be praying for you. I So sorry you have suffered so. Sounds like you have a wonderful family.

[@carolc2607]

Hi Darlene, I just received very bad news about my nephew Michael. He has been having seizures. The doctor put him in a medical induced coma and on life support. Once everyone can come and say their goodbyes we will take him off life support. We knew he only had a few months and he is in God's hands. He does know the Lord as his savior. This is so hard as a mom. I raised him since he was 12. He is 44. Please pray for me and the family. Especially his 10 year old son Benjamin. Thank you for all your prayers. Not only for my family, but for everyone. I love that you have this prayer chain available 🙏🙏❤️

Hi Darlene. You have been on quite the journey. So happy that you have a handle on things and that your health is improving. You look wonderful! Also, love your new haircut as well. I usually only comment from time to time but I will do better. The rebuild/repairs on our home were completed yesterday from the tree hit. God blessed us with a wonderful team of folks who truly cared about us from beginning to end and did an excellent job. We will be getting our furniture out of storage very soon as well. It's Spring and time for new beginnings. May God bless you and Lou. Looking forward to new videos but take care of you first. Hugs. 💜💜

There you are beautiful lady!!!! I have missed you so much! I am sorry to hear about the diabetes. I was diagnosed 20 years ago and have managed to avoid the needle. I walk everyday and watch out for carbs. I don't do keto / Adkins, I just learned what will spike me and stay away from those things. Test, test, test! You can do it! You look fantastic and I am sure you are starting to feel so much better. I have missed you. You are such a an inspiring and beautiful woman of God.

So good to see you!! I love your hair cut and that is wonderful about the weight loss. I have been eating low carb for 4 years and it is the only way I keep my weight down and satisfy my love for food!! Look up Maria Emmerich because she has an awesome Lasagna recipe where she switches out the noodles for thin sliced deli turkey. It’s a delicious staple at my house. We have fed it to company and they cleaned their plate!!

Hi Monica👋🏼. Always good to hear from you. I will check out that recipe. Sounds wonderful. Lou would love it. Lord bless. See ya soon.

So very good to see that beautiful smile. With your weight loss and new hair do you look 10 years younger. I always have thought you were beautiful, and you are, but it is amazing what a new hair cut will do for a fresh look. Just in time for Spring and Easter! I need a haircut so very bad. I am much older than you and I am way over due for a fresh style. One of my daughters has had to have my car for almost two months but I should get it back this weekend. Then I will be scheduling an appointment. I am sorry you’re dealing with a few health problems. I had never heard about that condition. When you have pain it can wear on you. It’s so good to see your sweet face and hear your happy voice. I will be praying for you sweet friend.❤️🤟✝️🙏

[@cristywyndham-shaw5111]

Your hair looks great! You look so young! Sorry about your health struggles. A couple of things I've learnt from my mum concerning diabetes is not to do keto. If you do, when you eat carbs, your sugar will spike high. Also, if you like potatoes, cook them, then leave them in the fridge overnight. Eat them the next day and your sugar won't spike so high. 😊 Take care! ❤

It is wonderful to have you back, Darlene! I have been a subscriber for over a year but don’t comment a lot. You are brave and so thoughtful to come here and share with us all that you’ve been going through. Thank goodness you listened to your body and sought some answers. I don’t blame you for refusing the diabetes medications that doctors are so quick to prescribe. I have 2 friends who have had numerous problems with some of those meds. That’s all I will say on the subject…😉 I am kind of in the same space you mentioned when you talked about how you felt about your hair situation. I began letting my hair grow around December 2019, which was a few months after I retired. My older daughter encouraged me to do it, saying that there are no rules stating that older ladies must get their hair cut short and permed! So mine is now halfway down my back and is silver. I get a lot of compliments on it. But lately, I’ve been wondering if the length is now working against me. I only wash it once a week because I lose a lot of strands each time. It’s getting thinner and thinner, so I’m thinking I should cut it at least to the length you’ve got. By the way, your new style is SO becoming on you! I really like it! Another lady I watch on KZbin (Llama Mama Kayla) has trigeminal neuralgia too, along with severe Raynaud’s syndrome (she’s had 7 fingers amputated as a result) and Sjogren’s disease and CREST. Anyway, she has stated several times that the facial pain from TN is the most severe pain she’s ever experienced. I just can’t imagine it. Bless your heart--I pray your journey to wellness will continue to improve. With God by your side, all things are possible……🙏❤️✝️ -Brenda in Va
