I’m not a big fan but if it’s therapy I’m in! Lol
Do you have to do physical therapy? I broke my ankle in three places in 2020, the therapy was painful.
You should get cork ones. You should also get a strap. Remember yoga is no pain no pain
You'll get there! One thing at a time.
You are making great progress! You go Girl!!! 💪👏👍

Don't like contemporary art? My video caller paid $10 for this 2016 print by Josh Keyes online. Another one in the same print edition sold for $2,000. Yep, that's what it&#Eagleswo#art #Eagles #art ... See MoreSee Less
Does it have a title name? I think it looks like it should be called “Alaska Ice Roads in Spring.”
What about the condition of this print. The wrinkle may affect value?
Wow
I wonder how long it will take him to sell!
How are you doing Dr. Lori?
Wow!

Watching #vintage tv shows during #recovery — Friends, Sisters, That Girl, Gilmore Girls, Eight is Enough… ... See MoreSee Less
Did you ever see Collector’s Call on MeTV? You would probably enjoy it, they go through people’s collections and appraise them. Lisa Whelchel from Facts of Life hosts it.
I just finished watching "Leanne". I laughed out loud! I love all the actors in the show. I binged watched 16 episodes in 2 days!
I just got out of the hospital after 69 days and I never would have watched friends but I sure saw episodes I missed
Talking about binge watching I've been watching your videos. Oh my Dr Lori, I'm beyond impressed with your plethora of knowledge on a variety of items!! I'm learning so so much! You're my favorite YouTube personality!
I watch all that old stuff, I like to watch Andy Griffin show. I think I know their scripts better than they did. My fav one is Otis riding through town on a cow thinking he bought a horse. And Barney sobriety test for Otis.
Perry Mason has been my go to
Where do you get to see Eight is Enough Dr. Lori I love that show! Also great choices for other shows and I have never ever seen a single episode of Friends lol.
Do u like computer games? Mahjong, free cell, spider solitaire? Will make the time go.
I wish 30 Something reruns were available. Try Days & Nights of Molly Dodd with Blair Brown. Quirky, but fun.
Try some Warehouse 13. You might like it considering your field of expertise!
Shirley Hendon
Seems like a great time to learn Mahjong! Just sayin’! 😉😉😉
Throw some Saturday morning cartoons in the mix!
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎
Mash and little house... Jefferson, Sandford and sons, .. so many of them
Love them all. Nothing like them now. Don't forget Lucy!
Fun. I also enjoy the Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligans Isaland, Alfred Hitchcock, Leave it to Beaver and classic 70's Saturday night horror movies like Bad Seed, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, so much more. Enjoy your recovery. 😊

Beautiful works of heart and art!
My husband said we need another Afghan. I said why? He said I need something else to do with my creativity. Nice! Love that stitch!
Those are beautiful. The craft store is going to miss you when you heal.
Beautiful photos, really love that grey pink and white one
These are beautiful blankets! Can’t believe how fast you are!

The short aircast has air pumps like those vintage Reebok sneakers from 1989. I can live with this for a while. ... See MoreSee Less
Of course you can live with it. What’s your alternative…. the dirt nap.
Luke I am your father!
Space cadet!
I wore Sketchers (one shoe) with a thick tread to balance my walk. You can purchase a shoe lift for the uninjured foot.
I'm rooting for you! 🤞
Take it easy and be careful
It looks comfy. I've had a big black one at one time. To the knee though. It was ok. How is it feeling ?
Comfort is EVERYTHING!
Be sure to keep it in your closet just in case. I thought my husband tossed mine (it was in the shed) and I had to purchase another one on Amazon.
Take it easy Dr. Lori. Don't over do it!
Is it comfortable for you?
Sounds like you are making progress keep up the good work.
I had one of these and it was so much better
Fancy footgear! Rock it out!
Take it easy and be careful send them prayers for a full recovery
Hi, is it possible for you to make a video on storage, like storing things in storage unit in cold climates, and other climates? I'd like to know your knowledge on this please. For example items that do and don't do well in different climates and maybe precautions to take if you have to store things. Dr. Lori

#ThrowbackThursday Some of my favorite #barbie #fashion ... See MoreSee Less
I was a huge Barbie fan when I was a kid!!! I stilm love seeing all the clothes, accessories, & houses!!!
I wish that I had kept some of my Barbies. My sister and I had several. We passed them on to younger cousins.
I had the initial Barbie. Left it at Moms. Years later my nieces took my Barbies to a neighbors house and came back with the wrong heads. LOL ohhh wellll I still have little vanity and some clothes
Brings back some sweet memories!
Everyone thought I wanted Barbie dolls. Truth is, she just wasn’t made to fit on a horse, much less a Marx horse. I must confess I assisted in many Barbie riding accidents. Josie West was clunky and homely, but at least she could ride. 🤣🤣🤣 Forgive me. 🤗
I have the bottom left outfit as well as others and my Barbie! ❤
I loved playing Barbies with my next door neighbor friend (Becky) through the wire fence when we couldn’t visit! lol
Never had a Barbie.
Loved our troll dolls from the 60s too. My sisters and friends and I used to sew little outfits for them, including snaps.
I had Barbie growing up. Loved them my nephew burned them in a fire pit. 😢 he was in his 20s no excuse.
I had the gold dress and coat outfit. I think there was a fur hat to go with it.
Love the little phone 😃
I have several original outfits. Each in a baggie with the original accessories. I still love Barbie!
