And it came to me just at the right time because it was so uplifting rather than all the negativity the media has been putting out.

I completely agree with your assessment of the political pollution that is so rampant. Our country is more divided now than ever. I hate listening to the "news" outlets because everyone is pushing a narrative. The story of conjoined twins show how awesome stories like this help restore faith in humanity. I try and see the good behind the bad and have to believe it's all happening for a reason. It's a gift to be able to look beyond the pollution and see the beauty of life.Lisahttps://peripheralperceptions.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-33343253822056796412022-02-13T15:09:56.833-05:002022-02-13T15:09:56.833-05:00Daniel, much thanks for popping back over to let m...Daniel, much thanks for popping back over to let me know your thoughts and feelings about the video. Wasn't it so moving? And I did the same thing, I went back and watched it EIGHT times because there were parts of it I wanted to see again. I know, Dr. Holly, the staff, and CHOP overall is such a special place. I want to take a walk up to University City which is where the hospital is located, just to see what it looks like from the outside. That whole area of Philly has a lot of medical schools and centers. They have a great dental school there too.<br /><br />Hope you're having a faaaaantastic weekend, my friend!Ronhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-38056546332503290892022-02-13T14:59:30.484-05:002022-02-13T14:59:30.484-05:00Ron, I finally had time to sit down and watched th...Ron, I finally had time to sit down and watched the video today. I thought I would be watching last night when I got home from work, but something came up. I friend needed me to pick them up from the airport. <br /><br />The video was just as you said, I was moved beyond what I thought I would. I watched it several times because I wanted to go back and see certain parts that I really enjoyed the first time. How inspirational they are. And I'm I awe of Dr. Holly, the medical staff, and CHOP. What an amazing place. As they shared in the video, the twins were always happy because everyone at the hospital has such a happy attitude everyday.<br /><br />Thanks for this, Ron. Muchly needed at time like this in our country. As you said, looking around you. And see the truth about people. Not what we are being fed by the media.

And that's why I had to remove myself from the non-stop stream of misery and focus on positive things and the GOOD in this world. And when I spotted this video, I knew I wanted to share it because it ties in perfect with what I mean by looking for the good. This couple inspired me so much because if they could do it going through what they went thorough, then so can I. It's a matter of redirecting my attention. <br /><br />Hope you're having a faaaaaabulous weekend, buddy! I can't believe how much warmer got these past few days.

Which it did. <br /><i><br />"I also thought it was so interesting to hear the surgeon explain about the procedure and what it entailed.

I'm sure they took breaks now and then and switched procedures, but still, TEN hours of that. Can you imagine the prep work for that operation? I so loved after the surgery when Holly went into the waiting room to give Dom and Maggie the good news. <br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, Matt.

The parents of the twins had such an amazing attitude when they got the news about them being conjoined. It was like they heard the news, but were not going to take it as a negative. The love they felt for the girls is what touched me so much. I also thought it was so interesting to hear the surgeon explain about the procedure and what it entailed. I can't imagine standing there for TEN hours performing that operation. She and the rest of the medical team did such an amazing job. <br /><br />I'm in agreement with you about the news and how biased it is, depending on what side the news station stands. They are the ones creating all the segregation. Like you said, it is so strategically manipulative. You're smart to remove yourself from it. We have too.<br /><br />Great to see you back, dude!

Aw, thanks so much for stoppin...Hey there, Elaine!<br /><br />Aw, thanks so much for stopping back after you and your husband watched the video to let me know what you thought. OMG...me too...I bawled my eyes out MANY TIMES during the viewing. I've seen it at least 8 times already and I STILL cry!<br /><i><br />"I know it was only 14 minutes long, but it was packed with so many things about the journey they had that it felt like I was watching a short movie."</i><br /><br />You what? You are so right about that. It WAS like watching a short movie because it had a beginning, middle and ending, and it was a lot of information and emotion. Me too, I also hope they do any update. I tried to search online to see if I could google anything about how they are doing but found nothing. Maybe because it's only been since Christmas, hu? Perhaps in the spring or summer they will update the public. Yes, Dom was so sweet and sensitive. I cried so hard when he cried after the twins had been surgically separated and he saw them for the first time. OMG...it was so touching. <br /><br />I know, can you believe that SNOW is in the forecast for Sunday? And today it was so warm and spring-like. I keep telling everyone that winter is not over yet. It's only February and people are acting like summer is tomorrow.<br /><br />Have a spectacular weekend, Elaine! <br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-91832951181066905492022-02-11T19:04:45.904-05:002022-02-11T19:04:45.904-05:00Ron, hubby and I both read this post this morning ...Ron, hubby and I both read this post this morning but didn't have time to watch the video until tonight after dinner, so I waited to stop by to comment. I bawled my eyes out several times during the video (and so did hubby) LOL! I know it was only 14 minutes long, but it was packed with so many things about the journey they had that it felt like I was watching a short movie. I would love to know more about how they (and the twins) are now doing. I hope they do an update. The guy (Dom) was so sweet and sensitive that I ended up crying anytime he spoke because it was a combination of how inspiring he was and feeling so sorry that they had to go through this. But as you said, they embraced it and found the GOODNESS!<br /><br />I can't thank you enough for sharing this today because I too am so sick of all the negativity in the news. We don't watch it all the time, and we're thinking of taking a complete break like you. I agree with you about both sides doing the same thing. We're not registered as Independent, but seriously thinking of switching this year because they are both pathetic. <br /><br />Anyway, enough about politics and the news. We need to focus on the GOOD and rise above the shit. LOL!<br /><br />Have a great weekend, Ron. Can you believe that it might snow on Sunday, considering that tomorrow it may reach the high 60's?

And what you said is so true, whether on the news or online articles, they are all doom and gloom. And what kills me is that they don't even try to make the American people feel hopeful about anything, they just keep force feeding the public more fuel to make the fire larger. <br /><i><br />"Instead, I look for what’s often termed the “good news” stories and interestingly enough most days you really have to look harder for those stories."</i><br /><br />GOOD for you!!! And yes, you have to look harder these days, I agree. That's why I was so happy when I fell upon this story because it was so inspiring and uplifting about human beings. <br /><br />I know, and the best good news is that it happened in Philly! We truly have some of the best medical facilities in the country. And what's really great about the hospitals is that many of them are "teaching hospitals", such as Jefferson.<br /><br />Much thanks for stopping by, D!

I know you've been dealing with a lot right now, so I totally understand your being away.<br /><br />I had to totally stop watching the news because it was making me feel ill - body, mind and spirit. And in doing so, I feel 100% better.<br /><br />Very interesting to read about your thoughts on Independents. And that may very well be the case for many of Independents. However for me, personally, I have always voted for the candidate and the issues. As far as the parties go, I have no definite preference because (as far as I can see) there are no longer core beliefs in either party. They may say they do, but their actions are not in line with what they say. They are all over the place. And particularly in these past several elections.<br /><br />Isn't this story so heartwarming? The second I saw the title and the photo, I immediately felt drawn to watch the video. It touched me on so many levels.<br /><i><br />" I do remember how wonderful the team we had for my son was.

Sometimes because a surgery was needed, but most of the time just to provide him/us with basic care, evaluate how he was progressing, address any potential issues, etc. Can't imagine going through it without all of that medical care/support!"</i><br /><br />That's right, I forgot about your son. So I'm sure you could so identify with what this couple went through. Aren't we luck though to be so close to so many wonderful hospitals in Philly? I always tell people that if you're going to get sick, get sick in Philadelphia because the facilities here have such a great reputation for doing amazing work.<br /><i><br />"Certainly there is much GOOD in this world!

And that's why I so admire the couple because they took that challenge and discovered the good.

As you know, I've been away again for a bit and need to catch up on all that, so I'll read back for clues, and also look forward to hearing much more in the future about your new situation! I'm sure it's interesting!<br />Politics... *sigh*<br />Totally understand how you feel about some of it, as am not tuning in to local/national news daily (for politics or any other specific topic)...just tend to prefer reading about whatever I can handle on any given day. LOL As for the parties, in agreement that both of the two major ones contribute to disinformation and distraction... however, I still do definitely prefer one to the other. I tend to think most Independents do too, because the parties have some fundamental differences. One might like the idea of not saying they mostly support the R or D, but probably do, IMO. I might not care for particular candidates in my chosen party and may disagree with some decisions made on certain issues (as government/people will never be perfect) and I have NOT voted for certain candidates... but will never vote for the 'opposite' party because the core beliefs, seem too different to me. If I have to disassociate myself with politics at some point, it would most likely be an all out as there is one party I'd never vote for and others which mostly likely won't ever be viable enough to matter.<br /><br />That story was very heartwarming!!! Having a child born with a birth defect (one of the more manageable ones anyway) I do remember how wonderful the team we had for my son was. We saw them every year until he was 18. Sometimes because a surgery was needed, but most of the time just to provide him/us with basic care, evaluate how he was progressing, address any potential issues, etc. Can't imagine going through it without all of that medical care/support! <br />Certainly there is much GOOD in this world!

I've been over it for years.<br /><br />Isn't this story such a bright spot? OMG...I've watched the video like EIGHT times because it just warms my heart. <br /><br /><i>" I have a cousin who is an surgery nurse and am so impressed by what she does. She's told me about some of the surgeries she was part of and I don't know how she does it. By the way, I am going to past this post on to her because she would really enjoy it. She may already know about CHOP, but she'll find this story very inspiring, I know it."</i><br /><br />WOW....that's FABULOUS! When I was in the hospital for two weeks, back in 2015, the nurses I had were all so incredible to me. In fact, they were so responsible for my healing because of how compassionate and kind they were to me, during a very rough time in my life. It was scary, but they all gave me confidence that I was going to be okay. <br /><br />HA! Yes....have a box of tissues handy because you will weep. I've watched this video eight times and every single time, I cried. <br /><br />Thanks a bunch for stopping by, Clair. Hope all is well with you and that you have a terrific weekend!<br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-70741727964203474402022-02-11T11:14:34.573-05:002022-02-11T11:14:34.573-05:00Hellooooooo there, Daniel!
"It's actuall...Hellooooooo there, Daniel!<br /><br /><i>"It's actually kind of boring because all the news stations just kept repeating the same things over and over. No matter who you tune into, it's all the same garbage."</i><br /><br />YES! No matter what new program you watch, it's the same regurgitated trash. That's why I stopped. And none of it is true, so why bother?<br /><br />"I've always been someone who admires people who go through adversity and move through it with such grace. What an inspiration they are."<i><br /></i><br />Me too! Because those are the people who I learn from. We can't always have things go smoothly in life, so to hear about stories such as this one teaching me about acceptance and grace. So inspirational. <br /><br />And I freaking LOVE what you said here...<i>"Holly Hedrick and her team are also an inspiration. Not only because of their skills, but their sensitivity to what their patients are having to deal with. They are true healers!"</i>....so TRUE! They are the true healers. And I so admire them.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, Daniel. Great to see your comments. Have a wonderful rest of your day and weekend. <br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-30121485241631562612022-02-11T11:07:11.633-05:002022-02-11T11:07:11.633-05:00Hola Denise!
Aw, thanks, girl. It's good to b...Hola Denise!<br /><br />Aw, thanks, girl. It's good to be back posting again. <br /><br />I think (know) you're going to really be touched by the video because it's so inspiring in so many ways. And particularly now, with all the mayhem going on in this country, it's so refreshing to witness the good. I watched the video like EIGHT times already!<br /><br />Aren't the twins precious? And the couple too. There are moments in the video where he tears up talking about the twins, which made ME tear up. <br /><i><br />"I had heard of CHOP from someone I knew when I was still living in New York because they had a newborn relative that was taken there for surgery, which was successful. So I know it has a VERY good reputation."</i><br /><br />WOW....very COOL! And yes, CHOP has such an amazing reputation. It's located near U of Penn. They have so many medical schools up there. Dental as well.<br /><br />I desperately needed a break from the news because it was really starting to have such negative effect on me - physically, mentally and emotionally. I feel a MILLION times better that I haven't watched it in over a month.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, my friend. Happy Friday to you and have a faaaaaabulous weekend!<br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-53886553813195668662022-02-11T10:16:53.824-05:002022-02-11T10:16:53.824-05:00Ron, I'm not Independent, but I agree with you...Ron, I'm not Independent, but I agree with you 100%. Both parties are spewing the pollution and blaming each other for the same things. Over it!<br /><br />But on a much brighter note, this post went straight to my heart. I have a cousin who is an surgery nurse and am so impressed by what she does. She's told me about some of the surgeries she was part of and I don't know how she does it. By the way, I am going to past this post on to her because she would really enjoy it. She may already know about CHOP, but she'll find this story very inspiring, I know it.<br /><br />I'll be sure to watch the video sometime this weekend when I have time to take it all in. And I have a feeling I'm going to need a box of tissues. LOL!<br /><br />Welcome back, Ron!Clairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-19848437438027362182022-02-11T10:08:42.881-05:002022-02-11T10:08:42.881-05:00"News no longer reports the news, it's mo..."News no longer reports the news, it's more interested in programing the public. In fact, that's why they call it a news program." - loved that, Ron, because it's so true! I still tune into the news, but not nearly as much as I used to. It's actually kind of boring because all the news stations just kept repeating the same things over and over. No matter who you tune into, it's all the same garbage.<br /><br />I am so looking forward to watching this video tonight. Damn, just from your post and reading about what Dom and Maggie went through, I was very moved. I've always been someone who admires people who go through adversity and move through it with such grace. What an inspiration they are. <br /><br />Holly Hedrick and her team are also an inspiration. Not only because of their skills, but their sensitivity to what their patients are having to deal with. They are true healers!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this, Ron. And good to see you back!Danielnoreply@blogger.com
