Be Bodacious

Be Bodacious

I'm a Tennessee gal who refuses to let disability get in the way of living life. Service Dog Pipsie and I are on a mission to document our RV and van life adventures. Our channel is all about travel, lifestyle and service dog life. A product review that we think you'll like may occasionally sneak in.

Join us as we tackle stereotypes with positivity, humor and a sense of adventure. From our Tennessee home to life on the road, we hope you will enjoy us on the journey. We live by our motto "Be Bodacious - don't let life get in the way of living" and hope you will too. 👒

Always #BeBodacious,

Gayle and Service Dog Pipse

    I so wanted to be here. I was doing restorative yoga. I'm listening now. Yeah! ♥ I'm glad you're healing. i felt you being one of those women this gift would be perfect for you. You could put a poster up on your van of one of them each trip you travel. Pipsie's trying not to put too much on you in lap-up. He know you're healing. I LOVE the stickers! 😍 Thanks Gayle for talking about the gifts I sent.

    Glad to help. Breads, biscuits and similar items are done at 200F. Cakes are between 200-210. Brownies can be less. Occasionally thermometers can be off or it just doesn't look right. Go with the toothpick method if you're ever unsure. (This was from my cake decorator instructor from years ago. She was a nutritionist).

    I'm sorry you continue to experience so many maladies in your life. Must be tough. I don't recall anyone in our family who has experienced as many trips to the emergency room or suffered so many constant medical emergencies, diagnosis, and treatments. No one. Not a cousin, uncle, aunt, parent or grandparent. Perhaps you are not getting proper advice from your primary care physician. Could this be based on nutrition? Physical activity and exercise? Or perhaps mental health? It's tough to live life bombarded with so many constant medical needs. Especially at your young age of 57. I would seek a wellness counselor or a holistic therapist asap. Perhaps they can help. I'm sure you would like to live a healthy, vibrant life. That's likely a combination of nutrition, exercise and a good therapist for your mental outlook. I've seen many of your videos focused on continued medical matters but with all the medical advancements and therapies available, a good primary care physician and a holistic, wellness provider should work wonders for you. If you truly want improvement.

    congratulations im happy for you, im currently going through the same thing atm im really nervous but its looking like my right adrenal gland is going to be removed, my bp was getting out of hand producing to much aldosterone and i was starting to feel the effects, ive learned to manage it now through study medications and trial and error, my bp readings were 180/120 on the regular and the highest being 220/130 scary stuff with all bp medications im on currently its sitting around 160/100 which is still quite high but alot more safer, on a good day i can average around 150/90 and lower, i had to do the AVS Twice because they were struggling to get a sample from the right hand side the first time, ty for posting its really helpful knowing there are other people who are going through and been through the same ordeal and are doing really well.

  • @BeBodacious
    @BeBodacious6 күн бұрын

    It's scary to see those numbers. Mine was 180/120 just before surgery. Having the adrenal mass and gland removed changed my life. I didn't realize how sick I had become until it was removed. I suddenly could walk outside without overheating, my bp leveled out, I dropped medications... having it removed was the best thing. I hope you have the same good experience. It's a difficult time but feeling better may be just around the corner.

    I went for some tests after finding a lump and the staff were amazing. I chattered and laughed through the whole thing even though it hurt. I bled a lot because I take Warfarin after having two strokes. I was told that I was having some clips put in. I didn’t know what they meant. I did ask if they’d be taken out afterwards but I was told they’d stay in permanently. I wasn’t told that they were Titanium or I would have refused to have them. Three weeks later the heavy bruising is beginning to fade a little but I’m still in pain. I went for the results and I was told that the left side is OK but there is a shadow on the right side which needs further investigations. They want me to go back and repeat all the tests again. I’ve had to cancel the appointment for now because my husband is going for Pacemaker operation tomorrow and he won’t be able to drive afterwards. I’m disabled, can’t walk, stand up, bend my knee, I have foot drop, and use a wheelchair. I’ve just got out of hospital after a relapse of a painful condition and I haven’t got the energy to go through that again so soon after the first one.

  • @BeBodacious
    @BeBodacious12 күн бұрын

    Wow. You're in an exceptionally rough patch. I hope everything will be okay for you and for your husband. Although not in a wheelchair now, I have foot drop as well and understand that struggle. It's heartening that one side was okay. I hope that will be the case with the other side as well. The thoughts of repeating everything is awful! You have my best wishes that everything will be okay for you and for your husband. (On the clips, staff at the breast center I used said it was to mark the biopsy spot so they can look at it more closely on my next mammogram. We need better explanations about these things from our healthcare team IMHO).

    Are you allowed to leave your service dog in a hotel room unattended ... And what would the hotels usually say if that happened ?

  • @BeBodacious
    @BeBodacious14 күн бұрын

    Generally, you aren't allowed to leave any dog alone in your hotel room. Certainly the owner is responsible for any damages. The ADA law allows for that. Otherwise the penalty varies. I saw a couple escorted out with their dog when I worked for a hotel and they were banned. No refund. I don't remember if it was a service dog or pet. Assuming other guests don't complain, there's always a chance that the staff will look the other way (especially if crated). It's a little dicey though.

  • @BeBodacious

    The only exception that I can think of is during breakfast. Probably no one would say anything if you ran down to the hotel breakfast area and grabbed a quick bite. It all depends on the hotel though.
