Hiya folks - thanks so much for checking in. Your support means the world to me. x A few things: "Fortnight" = 2 weeks, "P&C" is Parents and Citizens / PTA, the only out of pocket costs I had for ANY of the treatment was the over the counter and prescribed medication, I was able to take sick leave and annual leave so didn't lose any pay... those are the only questions I anticipated during editing - but feel free to ask more and I will answer them in the next video. Also - please please tell me what you're grateful for - lets spread the gratitude. x

Let me just say to everyone... if your friends are there for you in times of need, it is not because you are lucky.... it is because you, a good friend, earned that time they gave. I think people underestimate the fact that they have good friends because they are a good friend! I recently told my friends they are awesome people and should highly regard themselves because they are worth it. Personally, I think I am an awesome friend, and I also remind my friends constantly to think highly of themselves too. We are too often too fast to think negatively of ourselves, but in reality, we are pretty great most of the time.... don't forget that!

have you ever considered how you may have helped many people, in many differant ways without realising it? I firmly believe what goes around comes around, you are a good woman,daughter,wife mother, friend, colleaque. You are worthy of the love being shown to you, do not resist it! bathe in it ,and think to yourself I do deserve to be cared for, and pushing yourself up and out of your black hole will give all these people so much joy to see yiou thrive. many blessings to you and yours xx always spread the love.

I agree with Sarah, that you do help others by being you. Three things right now that I'm grateful for: I'm warm, safe & have plenty of food. That said, where I live in Southeast Texas we are under a tropical storm warning, a tornado watch, a hurricane warning, heavy rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds for the next 24 hours. It's scary, but I'm okay for now, as I have electricity, air conditioning and a big, warm cat on my lap.❤ Take care of yourself, Mel, and know that you are loved & appreciated.

Hi Mel, it's wonderful to see you! I'm in bed, 5:30am after another sleepless night. As I look around I'm so very grateful for my home. It's subsidized housing, nice home and well maintained, and I'm fortunate enough to have my heat and light included in my rent. With the rising cost of everything this is such a blessing. I'm grateful for my fan blowing cool air over me and I'm grateful beyond words for my son. My mental health is always a struggle but I'm working on it. Sending you tons of love and good thoughts as you continue to heal. x

I could tell from your move videos how completely overwhelmed you were. I also have a hard time taking help and letting others in. I compartmentalize many different parts of my life and history. I use my home as the one place I can control. Some would find it too clean or too organized, but to me, it's where I can breathe. Hope you've found some counseling thru all this. As well as hoping to see a strong move forward.

I hope you will continue to let people help you. It's no a weakness we all need help sometimes. I am thankful for being able to get up each day my children and family and having a place to live. So many are in need today. Here in the US homelessness is getting very serious. Hopefully in the future things will improve. You take care and take all the time you need to heal.

Everything happens for a reason❣️I’m glad to see your back and getting stronger everyday. We are moving on Monday so I’m quite busy doing last minute things and still decluttering even though I’m a minimalist. I am very grateful to be a minimalist I’m not sure how I would handle it if I wasn’t. Some of us don’t have the capacity to manage materialism and I’m one of them. Make time for what matters not inanimate objects.

28:00 Yes! Sometimes you have just concentrate on what is right in front of you and not worry about the bigger worldly things for sure. I told someone I met once that believes the earth was flat, I said well if that’s true what are you doing to do about it? You still have to make dinner and do laundry and read to your children and hug them every day. We can’t live with our head in the sand but we have to firstly worry about what is right in front of us. ( I have been watch crime stories too 🥴)

Ohhhh dearest Mel,you have such a kind precious heart and I feel so blessed to have found you and your KZbin channel. I had to medically retire from my 35+ year nursing career in 2019 @55 yrs old, and I feel so helpless & lonely much of the time and such a burden to my family,even though my sweet hubby is always there to support me through the good days and the bad ones too, he is the absolute love of my life. We've been together for 43 years now..I was 15 & he was 17 when we first met in high school in 1981 and I love and adore him more & more as each day passes. Yet I still find myself so often having to fight the devil sitting on my shoulder telling me how lazy & useless I am, but when I watch vlogs such as yours it helps so much to know I'm not alone, and even though we will never meet in person,I feel like I've found a friend who understands my thoughts & feelings! Thank you so much for letting me ramble and for sharing your life with us, you make such a powerful difference to so many of us near & far. Take good care of yourself, I'm sending you much love & prayers of healing from here in Virginia USA!~Lisa🥰❤

Three things I'm grateful for: 1. My relationship/love with God. 2. My faimly. 3. My home. I understand a lot of what you've gone through. Two years ago I took a very bad fall. I broke my arm, my nose and lost part of my upper lip. I had to have surgery on my face. (Nose and lip). I had also knocked my front two teeth in. I bit down and pushed them back in place while still on the ground. I suffered a lot of pain. I had multiple cuts, scrapes and bruises. My arm had to stay in a cast longer because of the break. I had difficulty eating and sleeping. In all of this, I had my friends and family there caring for me, bathing me, taking me to the toilet. Very hard and humiliating, but oh the love and kindness I felt. Mel you have received in multiple what you've put out. You are very much loved and appreciated. You will never know how many you have helped with your videos. You keep it real. Thanks for sharing. Lots of love from Ohio. 🩷

So glad to see you again! I have always admired your strength but could never “actually” relate until recently. On may 19th I totally unexpectedly lost the king of my world. We have been together for 10 years but didn’t live together. I lived with him on the weekends. I left him around 1:00 in the afternoon not knowing it would be the last time I would ever see him. This feeling of sadness and feeling lost is awful….I have no idea how to navigate any of this….

Oh much much much love Tracey. Grief is rough it will come in completely unexpected waves and just when you think you see a light another wave will hit. It doesn’t get easier but the distance between the waves will get longer and your ability to pull out over the top of them will strengthen. All that to say - be super good and kind to yourself. Thinking of you. Xx

Sometimes it takes something like being out of commission teaches us that we need rest, or a break, care. Also to have a bunch of caring people help you. It makes you see all the things you do by yourself and not asking for help. Regardless of whether it’s one of your kids doing laundry, or making an easy meal, running the vacuum, or picking up making things run smoothly. Sometimes a lighter load goes a long way. Hope you feel better soon.

So glad you saw the lesson in this. Burnout is serious and you were so blessed to have support from not only family, but also colleagues. I am where you were right now and trying to take the lesson too and save myself as it's just my partner and my DID daughter and when I fall, that's it support wise. I have already distanced myself from everybody I am close to and people don't understand why I can't help them more, but I'm strong in knowing that my limits are getting tighter and I'm still covering shifts and doing all the housework and crying a lot. At least my boundaries are getting stronger when people ask for more help and more time to chill and go out. Bless you. May the road be wider from now, with more space to breathe xx

Hi Mel, I'm so glad you're ok!!!☺ It's also nice how many people are thinking of you. We have a saying: "You know a friend in need." And now you've met a lot of them! I wish you the best... I'm a believer and I think that with this ankle injury God wanted to say to you: "Hey Mel, stop! Rest! You need time for yourself, not just for others, household or work!" I know for myself that if I focus only on others, I am just exhausted. Every mother (and every person) should have time even just for herself, to get enough energy for others... And yes, every person should be grateful in life - there is something to be thankful for every day! Take care and don't forget to rest!🛀🛌

I'm so glad you're feeling better! It's a shame we sometimes have to have these really big/hard events happen for us to have a new perspective and realisations about ourselves, but at least some good can come out of it! Three things I'm grateful for: 1. A home that is safe after a life of instability. 2. The birdsong outside every morning. I love birds and it's a nice consolation when having to wake up on a cold morning haha 3. The health care/hospital staff that I've encountered over the last few years who, despite the overworked and incredibly stressful conditions they're expected to work under, have always been (mostly) lovely and delivered exceptional care. My mother would not be alive today without them and there's nothing I'm more grateful for than that. 💜💜

Hi Mel, lovely to see you again, sorry to hear about your ankle injury, what bad luck/mentally good ish luck 😢, I really hope you can come full circle back to healthy mentally and physically, sending prayers and hugs. 3 things I'm grateful are 1 to still be here 2 years after the cancer diagnosis, 2nd to have a home when so many don't, and 3rd to have friends and family. Take care and remember we all love and understand you and the joy you bring others we send back to you 3 fold.❤

Mel, you are worthy. I know the challenge of recognising ourselves as deserving of the love we give so freely. Your video has prompted me to give that love and compassion to myself with the same joyful abandon I used to reserve for others.

Thank you for sharing your experiences Mel. You have helped me so many times over the years. I am also rehabbing a recent injury and this post really connected with me. There is so much we take for granted physically and it is not until the unexpected happens and we need help with the small & basic things that we gain / regain our perspective on life. With all the bad news out there we tend to forget the small kindnesses and the really good people around us. I am grateful that I have a home to get messy, too many clothes that need serious sorting and a husband that can be so annoying at times... Pet snuggles when you are unwell are the best. Absolutely priceless. ❤🌻

I am so happy you are in a better place & healed & got support it does go around in a help circle I think we all take a turn needing help & its ok. One day a time sometime one hour at a time is all we can do. It makes me so mad when hospitals don't give out pain meds to people who need it & then you have to go back just for that they can see your medical chart that your not a person who abuses I mean if a broken leg & surgery doesn't allow you a pain pill what does lol Our Canadian hospitals are totally overloaded too. I had a knee replacment 1 year ago I had no idea I was getting & understand its so fearful being immobilized but we made it through! Hang in there sweet lady.

Dear Mel never doubt your self worth and how you help others. You are a truly giving, caring and wonderful person. You are always there for everybody else so yes you are worthy of all the help and love you were shown during your recovery. Your children in particular are lucky to have you as their mum xx

No. It doesn’t really suck. It’s just overworked and undervalued I think. The staff are sensational. I guess that true for all mega large systems though. The Education, Law and Child Protection is the same. Great people. Bad systems.

Oh bless you Mel ❤ It's so wonderful to see you again but so sorry to see what you've been going through. Divine intervention indeed though, f or you to see how much support you really do have around you and, lo and behold, the sun stills comes up every morning even if you are laid up and can't do anything 😃 Let me see, I'm grateful for my little kitties sleeping here on the bed with me, my little kettle on my beside table so I can have tea up here, and for Just Eat who are on their way now with my supper😅 Sending you all my love and hugs Mel, and nose boops from the kitties 🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘
