Dear Filey's Hubby - please tell Filey we only want her to get better and she should put her physical AND mental health above all! Yes, we do like her posts, but would rather she focus on her health. Having said that, thanks, Filey for your update...when I see your emails in my inbox they're the first ones I read.

Stay strong Filey! Hugs!

Thank you so much for the update Mr. Filey! Hopefully you are all able to have some quality family to me together! ♥️ That said I’m so worried about this election. Please vote everyone! It’s almost like Trumps MAGA’s are so freaking disgusting human beings and Trump just gives them permission to be vulgar, hateful, physical & emotional abusers. It’s frightening and I remember those old articles and not thinking for a minute you were wrong...you were on point! Now rest my virtual friend!

It’s Filey -he is currently indisposed (I’m kidding) part if the reason I opted to push this article us it had been in my queue since September 2022 - I can’t post a screenshot in the comments but here:

So the contours of this article were there I just needed to update it and provide a few more details. I agree with every part of your comments. I just wished more would be willing to say Trump & MAGA-Republicans truly are domestic terrorist…

thanx for all your expertise and my education into matters these days. My smoothie recipe for you. Sounds odd, but it's delicious. 2 bananas, 5 big spoonfuls of yummy plain yogurt, (made with organic milk if possible) 6-8 oz orange juice (fresh squeezed by helpful family members if there's a tree around) spoonful of PEANUT BUTTER! i'll be 70 next month and this has been my breakfast for probably 35 years. its got everything for the body and mind. hugs

Rest and heal, that is the only thing that is important right now. We are here if you need us, won't be going anywhere. Hugs and prayers!

Dear Filey, the greatest gift you can give us is your recovery, and if overdoing it now imperils that, can I humbly pray silence? I know that the same determination that brings us your insights also fuels your impatience and exertions in equal measure, and it can’t be divided, but I’d far rather wait now than fear I’d contributed to your troubles... Thanks to your partner, too!

I agree with you and I hear your well guided concerns. My hubby was pretty livid about the twitter account. So we talked last night and reached a decent compromise: <45 minutes on Twitter per day, <2 Substack articles per week and <3 Instagram post per day. The concept of allowing others to take care of me is really foreign to me because I’m usually the one taking care of others. By nature I’m a type A “I’m going to get sh*t done” type of person. Post stroke I now understand that I need to be far more patient & understand that I need to heal before I can return to my Spicy-ness. Again thank you for voicing your concern and please know I appreciate your feed back —Be Well Filey

It is good to see the gears, levers, wheels are moving in sync. Really good article, worthy of deep study on my part. You were operating at full speed ahead, Miss Red Bull, and now it is "hit and drag Charlie," as the old golfing joke goes. Relax, listen, accept, work, and your body will respond. I watched recovery happen with two loved ones dear to me, so I'm a believer. Thanks to your hubby too.

But. But. Charlie bit my finger (also inside joke) it’s also kind of surreal that it’s only been 21 days since my stroke —but if you’re interested I gave my Instagram followers an update ear6today. Spoiler some if the fingers in my right hand have movement. I’m likely going to end up with a long term disability claim (in about 5 weeks), the HR department sent me the paperwork to start & process my claim. Thank for the well wishes and the badly needed laugh.

I promise we both will. I think it’s effecting him way more than I initially thought but I’m truly grateful for him and my family

Files I hope you are doing better. I've thought about you often in the past few weeks. You know we all worry about you. I just wanted to let you know you're in my prayers. Big hugs my dear.😌🤗💐

My dear Mic,

Just sending a hello, and hoping your recovery is proceeding well, or well enough...

You must be very relieved (aren't we all!) that "the red wave was more like a pink splash - kinda like when you accidentally wash your klan robe with your maga hat"*

Anyway, sending you and the hubby and kids hugs (yeah, from a total stranger, take that creepiness in, Yo).

And a solid, "GET WELL SOON,"** on behalf of all your Stans.

**Sorry; shouting because you're so far away

Fun Fact -a few of my coworkers actually call me Taz (snort) whereas others simply call me a ferocious pitbull —hubs was (still is) livid about the twitter. But I agreed to scale way like W-A-Y back. My only priority is getting better and I can’t do that if not taking care of myself.

I KNEW it 🤣 definitely take care of yourself 💙
