Did the Dr say it was ok to breathe cold air? Mine said no..after my lung surgery.
It was wonderful to see you and your son 😊very Beautiful video 💕💕💕 continued prayers for complete healing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💕😁🙏
Welcome back. You were very much missed. Glad to see you're on the mend. Pray this is the last of health issues. Life is just too short to have to deal with health issues😊. Wish I could talk my husband into moving to Italy. I would do it in a minute. But I will enjoy seeing you bring it to me with your videos. ❤
Happy to see you are getting better and feeling more energetic and planning for 2026. May your book launch and return to Italy go smoothly and positively with improvements in your health and energy day by day❤❤❤
Those tickets drive me crazy! So annoying. 😅
So pleased to see you Gina and I’m sorry for the humbug, I know you said it’s not humbug but it is when your crook but hell I was so worried about you. Love the self medication. My mum was a great believer in Brandy, my husband believes very strongly that Whiskey is the go but my belief is Southern Comfort. I’ve got the same scar, different operation but same scar, they must sneak things out through that area. I’m super impressed with the distances you’re walking you really are amazing and so determined to get back to normal, good on you girl. What a great Christmas market, nothing like that in our town of 300 people. I had the stitch problem too. Beside that one scar we both had I also had another four that same size, one wasn’t healing and causing me grief. Couldn’t have been a stitch as I was told they dissolve. No not all of them, I ended up getting my husband to cut it out with a quick unpick from my sewing basket. Even with my problems Gina I sure as hell didn’t have your compilations nor was my operation anywhere near as big as yours. Gina I’m so very pleased your back on the road to healing, I so missed you. Please take care, love to you’re beautiful son and I’ll see you again soon. 🥰
Irish claim Whiskey in 1405, Scottish in 1494. 😂
Hello! So glad to hear you are on the mend and getting some fresh air. Hope your new year goes well and I’m looking forward to hearing about your book.
So sorry you had so much pain! I'm glad to see you back,
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I can't imagine the pain you were in, and yet you were so determined to keep going. It takes someone with a strong will ! The downtown gathering looked like fun. The Christmas tree was beautiful as well as the glass shop. Continue to heal Gina and many blessings to you and yours in the coming year. Look forward to your next video. ❤
Welcome back, Gina. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
God love you, I was hesitant to post a comment; didn't want to disturb you in case you weren't in the mood to talk….🤕
I know the pain of broken ribs, but I didn't know the whiskey trick! Is that why, in the old days, they'd always give a shot of whiskey for ailments! I don't think I've had a whiskey in 45 years!!!!!
Good for you for discovering the cause and being so proactive. Your go to treatments are exactly what I use for everything. Have you tried colloidal silver on the wound? I spray it on sensitive wounds….I should have suggested that for Coulter's teeth.
Take good care, Gina and looking forward to the properties.
Happy New Year to you and Coulter and good things comin' in 2026🥳 (nice apartment location, btw)
Take it easy…….no more kicking up your heels even if you do have nice new shoes 👠
🙏🙏🙏
I am so glad to hear that you are up and at em, well sort of you shouldn’t be up and at em like you have been but that’s enough of my mom out of me😂. Just know they can’t do anything for a broken toe Anyways, I learned the hard way but damn they hurt. I am so sorry you’ve had to go through that, I swear when we’re down life just kicks you. I’m so happy that you’re ready to be able to travel again, that’s where your happy place is.
By the way, I am 55 years old and I have never had a double egg yolk, ever! I feel like I’m missing out 🤪
It’s so nice to hear from you! I’ve been wondering how you are. So sorry your recovery has been so rough!
Glad to have you back. You were missed. So much love and concern for you on here, it’s heartwarming.
Great video. Happy New Year 🎉
Merry Christmas and a happy new year 😘🥂🥳
Happy New Year to you both 🎉🎉❤❤. Whisky was interesting. My mother introduced me to one paracetamol and one ibuprofen with a shot of Port for pain. It's not conventional, nor should it be abused.. But worked a treat for me on the odd occasions. Have you heard of Brandy Mel that you can buy in Portugal? A shot of that with a squeeze of lemon heated is amasing for unblocking heavy colds and congestion.. Used to have this when working the bars in the Algarve back in my youth as and when I was underpar.. Sorry.. useless info. I am so very pleased to hear you are heading back to Abruzzo in the new year, having visited that area in September I very much enjoyed myself. Keep up your amazing and unequivable strength. I salute you Gina Fiore 🫡❤
You are one tough cookie! You are such a great example of moving forward while getting onto the other side of your health issues. I look forward to your new adventures for next year. Wishing you good health and peace for 2026!
oh what a time you have been through! sincere wishes for good health and recovery !
Happy New year glad to see you getting better!!
So happy you are back and doing better ❤
Happy new year.
Gina Hi it warms my heart to see your video ❤ I've been thinking of you and hoping your recovery is coming along nicely – sorry to hear of the setback with your foot injury and the painful weeks you had to get through following your surgery 😮 your little town looks festive, i can hardly believe you went down there and took the video – Happy New Year wishes – sending blessings for a wonderful, adventurous 2026 ❤🎉😊 Take good care and I'll see you next time 👏
Take care and looking forward to more videos ❤
Hello glad you are the mend manny blessings to you . My name is Betty and from New York 😊
Glad to see you again, you are truly inspiring hope you and your son have a happy and healthy 2026 from Kat in Canada
20 years ago was in Corning for festival at sculptor St Gaudens home. Such a beautiful area & art community. I think 2026 will be your best year ever. Double yolks × 2 has to be a good sign. Hate you going thru all of this, but smooth sailing in 2026!🎉💐🎆
When I think of how far you have to drive for medical care for your lung, 🫁 I wonder how you do it! I wish for you excellent health in 2026. I hope miraculously you get up on January 1st and your lung and toe stop giving you pain. What a long journey this has been. 😢 Happy New Year to you and Coulter‼️🎊🎉 My 15-yr. old granddaughter is visiting and yesterday we finally convinced her to call a friend on my land line. She was giggling, called a friend and the friend told her that she sounded like someone in a movie from 2000! 😂 Now she wants a rotary phone.📞 She has cleaned out all the local thrift stores for a new wardrobe and helped me wash everything last night. She is tall and model thin so anything she puts on looks darling, especially with her dyed mahogany hair. She is a hoot!
So glad to see you Gina. Blessings to you as you heal. Happy New Year🎉
I tell you Gina, you and I have some shared destiny or something haha. I had my surgery on September 5th. I asked for a specific pain medication, anything with 8 mg of codeine. I have learned that pain is always worse at night, so the codeine with aspirin (preferably) helps me sleep while preventing post-operative blood clots. I mean 8mg of codeine is negligible, but they wouldn't prescribe it for me even though I explained that it would help me sleep and heal faster. Instead they offered 1000 mg of paracetamol (acetaminophen like tylenol) which as we ALL know now, is terrible for the liver. I am 77 and very protective of my liver haha. At any rate, I decided to drink a small amount of Portuguese Port (19% alcohol) with ibuprofen to help me sleep. I had no pain medication to use. In the end, I got through the recovery period with alcohol and ibuprofen. How stupid are these doctors! They prescribe lethal drugs like ketamine for pain at the drop of a hat! At any rate, 3 months after my surgery I was just walking calmly and slowly between my pantry and kitchen counter on a bright sunny day preparing lunch when my right foot stuck on something and I went flying forward right onto my front. Instinctively I raised my right arm to protect my incision during the fall and that worked, but man, what an unnecessary event. I didn't break a rib, had a contusion on my breast and knees but otherwise I survived…. and my incision remained intact. Whew,! Sorry about your toe. I have done that to three of my toes and they seem to develop a rigidity afterwards. So massage it whenever you think of it, and take curcumin (in turmeric) daily as it is a very effective natural anti-inflammatory. Sending you love from Italy.
Glad to know you are on the mend! HNY!
🙏🏼🕯🤍
Wishing you and yours the very best in 2026.
Nice to hear from you again Gina. Sorry you have been in so much pain but hopefully you are on the mend a little more. Wishing you and Colter a Happy and healthy New Year from the UK x
Hope you have a good 2026, all healed and ready to follow your dreams.
