    Gary. Take it fom someone who "pushed through" back pain and ended up with 5 back surgeries. Let it heal now or lose much more time and ability later. I wouldn't wish what I've gone through on anyone.

    Happy Late Mother’s Day to you to Mel. Mine was tough. I lost my son in November and he was always the first one to call me. Of course my daughter called me and she is still with us with God’s Grace hopefully he will keep her with us as long as he can as she has Stage 4 Aggressive Paraganglioma Cancer. She made it to her 36yr old BD in March which we didn’t think would happen so we are blessed. I received flowers from my son’s widow and flowers from my neighbor. My husband BBQ’s some steaks and my fur babies loved on me. It was good overall. God gave me grace all day and showed me memories to be thankful for.

    Mel a doctor told me once your back does not go out from just picking up a box. It’s usually from something you did the day before like lifting something heavy in the morning before your body is ready! He told me always stretch in the mornings. Much love to you both! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    • @paulvanhouts3365
      @paulvanhouts3365 21 день назад

      Sometimes it’s not lifting heavy, just the way you move as you pick something up. Moving with back problems becomes an applied science, an art form, to get th8ngs done.

  • @saezell1

    I had back surgery in. 1993 best thing I ever did. Surgeon said, DO NOT GO TO ANYMORE CHIROPRACTORS. They just give temporary relief and it will gradually get worse and worse. See a neurologist instead. Good luck and prayers for you both.

    If you go to the fabric store and buy ballet tutu fabric (yes they make it in green!), you can coverthe plants. You can tack it down loosely so it doesn't blow away. It wll keep the birds out of your strawberries. Another fun activity for the kids, they can paint flat stones to look like strawberries. Put them in open areas in the strawberry patch. The birds will peck at them and when they don't get anywhere, they will stop trying!

    Hey Gary! Can you talk about how RUclips works at the meet-up? How people get "monetized", how superchats/thanks work, why do some people get "copyrighted" for the music in the background, how does Drew get away with the songs he plays in his videos, etc.

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent 20 дней назад +2

      Drew doesn't get away with it. He just doesn't collect any monetization from his videos. RUclips can still monetize the videos if they want, and the ad revenue will go to the bands/record labels...whoever owns the music.

So much for TX being the "friendly" state. Now to be fair when I say TX I mean Austin, and San Antonio so yah big cites where everyone ignores each other cause no one has time to talk.

    Gary,
    My husband and i have both been experiencing bad back pain lately. Sciatica nerve pain as well.
    Every morning I wake up, i place a heating pad in the recliner i sit in. I let the heat stay on my back for thirty minutes. After 30 minutes, I am able to move without as much stiffness and pain.
    At night time, i place a bed pillow under my knees to elevate them. This relieves pain and causes the back muscles to relax while laying down on your bed.
    This helps to give the lower lumbar back a break from the stress on the spine. My physical therapist taught me this years ago.
    If you remain proactive and take care of yourself now, you will heal much quicker.
    We will be keeping you in prayer.

  • @paulvanhouts3365
    @paulvanhouts3365 21 день назад

    Hi Gary, sorry about your back. I have lived with a back problem since about 15 years old. I had to learn my limitations. I nursed, was a fire and rescue officer, helicopter rescue officer despite that back. I had learnt ways to get things done sometimes in extreme situations, as you could imagine, but got through. I have suggested the use of lifting tackle, using ratchet straps and clamps, they can become a great asset to you while building with a crook back. I too built a few homes with my back problem, just do it with awareness, it may be slower but you get it done. My first home too 10 years, so be patient and kind to yourself. Also take care of Mel as she tries too hard while you are trying too hard, you both are at risk. The back niggles but it’s not unbearable. If you learn how to get the hard stuff done, working with all helping tools you can make or buy, you will be surprised. When I have trenching to dig, I warm pack the back for a while before I start, it helps heaps but it doesn’t protect your back, just soothes those seeming muscles so you can move more. The other thing is to develop a set of core body strengthening exercises to help your back. A sports physio may have great advice for this. Don’t ignore these warnings and tough them out. You have to tough out the pain without opiates. Opiates don’t help in the long run. I found Pilates exercises such a great help for strengthening the core while some yoga stretches helped a lot too. Just go to some classes and think the strategies through. Happy to email what I do if that may give inspiration.

    • @paulvanhouts3365
      @paulvanhouts3365 21 день назад

      Also there are people who don’t think I have a problem because of what I have done, I do have days where I am dropped to my knees. I mentioned those long handled shovels as a back irritator. Using one can easily take me over that line and I am done for 2 weeks, no fun just a grumpy old man. Who wants that. I try to be as positive, but not over the top like a maniac, I am mindful of my back and also my age, now 69 and retired. If I sit too long it’s harder to get up and moving. I watch a few channels on RUclips and then I have to move. As I have often said, I love you guys, you are such a great couple with a beautiful family. Take care.

    What ever you do back surgery is not the answer. Stand at the back of a chair, hang on to it and lift your leg backwards.it will help your nerve problem in your back, i did that an it helped my back. Also the bed mattress ,maybe change that. It matters what kind of mattress your laying on. Just rest as much as possible. There are different excercises a person can do to help their backs.
    Hope you get to feeling better soon, Gary. Memorie foam helped my back a lot. Have a blessed day. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    @simplygardening1936 22 дня назад

    Yea, I know that feeling Gary of the "It's still there" it's better but it's still there is not the mentality to have. There is no push through it at the moment! Please wear that brace. If it hurts, stop, don't do it. Rest your back. Take over the counter anti inflammatory like generic alleve (naproxen) or ibuprofen (advil). Even if it is not hurting. Take it for few days to get inflammation down, hurting or not. See if it helps. You do NOT want to push it to the point of back spasms😢 that's no fun. Never knew just how strong the back muscle is until it feels like its ripping your spine out the Ole rectum lol😂 just rest. Anti inflammatory for few days. See if it's better. I bet you can find 101 smaller things to keep you occupied and busy around the homestead that is not back breaking work. CHILL SIR!
