Nah... he had a concussive injury from the fall. He literally got knocked out. He wasn't "near death" at any point of his situation. That's not how it works.... at all.
25 yrs ago I fell 25 ft head first from a scaffold to the concrete floor. Houston Sports Clinic Dr. Burkis Columbus Ga fused my neck (hardware and screws). Please please do what your dr and rehab tells you to do! One thing I learned from my accident was patience! Cause rehab doesn’t happen overnight! Bless you my friend!
How do u feel now also what was ur symtoms I have 6 and c7 fracures and some d5 caused by and accident my symtoms are bladder and bowel i can control them but when its time is time i have double vision and ear noises just in the right pretty much. All the right is fuked up resulted in trouble walking and swallowing openning my full mouth my right jaw and speatch are slured prolem with contration i hope u can answer looking forward now its been 2 months nd half of the injery hopefulluly those sumptoms goes away im just texting you with the left hand hopefully i didnt make any .istakes also problems with erection my doc says just do u collar of the neck and back for 6 months and ull be fine but im not sure...
@@TarikRom-hu3jj My neck injury started out as a herniated disc. Fusion neck surgery. 10 yrs later had to remove the fusion cause the discs were pinching the spinal cord Ike pinching a straw. Had Laminectomy shortly there afterwards. Then 2 yrs later had lumbar fusion. It’s been 25 yrs since my accident. I’ve done the rehab and home exercises. I wore a neck brace for my 1st neck fusion for 6mo wore the neck brace for the 2nd neck brace 8mo. I’m 68 yrs old arthritis build up all up my spine with nerve ending damages. I’m able to walk with a cane but at times I use a rolator. I’m not able to take pain killlers due to medication damages to kidney and liver. I’m allergic to aspirin. So Tylenol is my go to but it doesn’t help I have had a Spinal Cord Stimulator installed. It helps a lot . During barometric rise and fall I have pain Before thunderstorms I have neck and low back pain. Drs tell me not much more can be done for arthritis and nerve pain so I just bare it. Lay down get still I love to cook and bbq. On my good days I cook. Sometimes I over do it and I pay for it for a few days. Play on my good days lay on my bad days I also have given Botox shot injections to my low back every 90 days. It helps numb the pain for 30 days or so. Like any other pain medicine it is only camouflage tricks your mind into believing there is no pain. So no summer salts or leaping tall buildings and wonder why the meds are not working! Best I can explain my accident…. Fell 25 feet head first to concrete floor. I weighed 190 so I was doing about Mach 6 when I hit the floor. Imagine an automobile head on collision…,.. bumper shoved into radiator motor pushed back transmission mounts broke driveshaft drove into rear axle. Each one needing its own repair. Not all repairs to factory parts are helpful but no cure. Do what your Drs tell you do what rehab tells you don’t overdo tasks Remember you are your worst enemy…… you tell yourself you can but your body says you can’t do don go and do it just to show you can you will be laid up a few days or a week in the hospital!!!!
Hello Mr. Barron. Thank you for the update and it's nice to know that you can get around a little. May I emphasize Sir and ask you to PLEASE DON'T RUSH THINGS. I know that someone that is productive and with many things going on and all of the seasonal things that you enjoy doing that it is tempting to push the envelope of getting back to things quickly, however, the nature of your injuries can and will have lifelong consequences IF you don't let the damaged areas heal correctly. If you rush it, extra scar tissue will develop in those injuries and your movements will be forever restrictive along with pain. If you do the therapy faithfully and let all of the time go by that is NECESSARY for it to heal CORRECTLY , you can avoid the restrictions and pain. All of us want nothing but the best for you Sir and please understand that this comment is for that reason. Let everyone help you and take care of you through the LENGTHLY healing process and THEN, you can get back to the things you love to do. Bless you and your household Sir and our prayers continue for your healing.......Michigan
Just take good care of yourself, Jeff. You and Hannah have been a fun family dynamic to watch. We will stay with you no matter what. Just take your time to get as good as you can be.
One of the hardest working men on the RUclipss....for sure. I can see in your eyes you are anxious to heal up so you can get back to it....but slow and steady Jeff, you still have some life left, don't rush it so your quality of life later doesn't suffer. Keep on keeping on.
Jeff, God WAS with you that day, but I pray that He remains with you and Hannah. I fell early in deer season here in Mississippi, and haven't been able to hunt all season. It is killing me!!! I hope all goes well, good luck, and God bless.
Hey Jeff, my friend the Good Lord was certainly with you 3 weeks ago & my wife & I will continue praying for your complete & total recovery. Sincerely, the old Montana cowboy, Frank Scherping & my wife, Rae An. Get better soon Pard!!!.... We miss Y'all very much & we appreciate y'all
Holy moly! Seeing this, I am so happy to be hearing from you. As someone who has personally spent 3 months in a neck brace. I feel for you sir. Glad to see you in such good spirits. I pray the good Lord heals you and you’re able to continue doing what you love. You have to be thankful that you were able to walk away from such a situation. I know I surely was. God bless
Hello from Maine, Maine North Woods Hunter here. I was involved in a motorcycle accident on November 11 1990. I broke my back and right femur and a few other things. I am partially paralyzed from the waist down now. It is a tough road but I manage. I am praying for you and hope that you heal completely my friend. I still get out and hunt and try to do as much as I can. It may not be the same, but it sure beats watching everyone else doing it and I watching it on TV. God Bless and Good Hunting to you.
Motorcycle accident here too brother. SUV hit me from behind at 50mph while I was stopped at a red light. Not paralyzed but the constant pain is ungodly (years and multiple surgeries later). It's crazy how my entire life changed in an instant. I pray for just one pain-free day someday - for all of us.
Pray'res from a red neck going out to a good man with a broken neck. Fighting on the front lines here in So Cal. You and your daughters video's bring a smile to my face that gets me through in fighting the good fight . God Bless you and your family.
Jeff I understand that you want to stay active and be yourself. Take it easy and listen to the Dr. You are still on your feet now and we all want you to stay that way!🦌🇺🇸🙏
Our prayers are with you, Jeff!!! I'm so glad you're still here with us. As a youngest, I didn't use safety harnesses when hunting, but after a buddy I work with fell out a tree and broke his legs, back, and neck, I began using a harness and now use lifeline systems on all of my setups.
Glad you’re doing ok considering the severity of the injury. You’re a great example of why being in good physical condition is a necessity as well as why we should all have and wear a safety harness. God bless you and your family. I’ll pray for a quick recovery for you.
Jeff you are one of the old breed Hoss. Not many men could have held their broken neck up and, crawled over a gate and walked back to the truck! Take Care of Yourself and Heal Up Right. We Need You Around Brother! Prayers and Love from Texas. 🙏
From a fellow hard-head who has had two cervical spine surgeries - heal first & move later. Damaged nerves don’t heal. I have tingly and numb fingers that I wish I didn’t have. Makes it tough to shoot a bow - I can’t shoot a recurve and damned sure can’t shoot my compound as well as I used to. Glad you’re on the road to recovery and hope it goes well. Stay off the scaffolding!!!
Holy crap! Thanks for the update. Been watching you out catching big cats. And building this house has me worried for some stranger in Alabama for some reason. Probably worried for you and the fam cuz y'all are so dang genuine and... I ain't gonna hit all the points of awesomeness tween you and Hannah and what y'all have shown us over the years. Thanks for letting us know Hannah ain't gotta worry bout her day just yet. Looking forward to more updates on your healing and looking forward to more adventures with the deer, hogs, fish, and that house. Great to see ya!!! Take care and we all praying for some fast heals
You are badass! My coworker fell and broke his back about 6 years ago. Had to be flown to the hospital, had 2 steel rods in his back and was in hospital 3 weeks. He is now still working as a career firefighter! Best to you Jeff!
Jeff you’re definitely lucky and god was looking out for you,after thanksgiving I had a major heart attack with 100% blockage of the widow maker and drove myself 10 miles to the hospital and was very glad I had someone looking out for me,take care of yourself and I’m praying for a full recovery and that your neck heals soon
5 miles! That’s incredible! Way more than I do, having neuropathy in my feet. Good to see you up and about enjoying the sunshine and outdoors. From your description of the neck injury, it sounds like surgery. Something has to be done to stabilize that fracture…screws and/or clamp as you say. Please don’t take any unnecessary risks sir. Have a phone or 2-way with you to let people know where you’re at. You should be good to go for noodlin season in no time! God bless you sir! Preciateshall!
Jeff, I worked as a carpenter for 45 years and walked top plates from eight feet in the air to 40 feet and never fell! I've hunted in treestands for years, and I have been using safety lines for the last ten or twelve years at the request of my wife! Sorry to hear about your misfortune but glad to hear you are going to eventually be okay! I am sending prayers for a speedy recovery! I'm pushing 69 years old and don't plan on giving up bowhunting for as long as I can still climb into a stand!!! Hang in there bro.
When you can’t climb a tree then don’t give up your Hunting, Then it’ll be time to go to Ground Blinds. They are very effective once you get them put up and established. Once the deer get used to that ground blind being there they don’t pay it a bit of attention. Glad you’re still hunting at your age, I’m real close to your age and I’m still hunting also. If i ever get wheel chair bound in my old age as long as I can still operate a rifle or crossbow....Then I’ll have someone roll me into a ground blind so I can still hunt. God Bless ya brother, happy hunting for as long as you can go! 😁👍🏼
Hey Jeff. Looking in pretty good shape. Be careful dad. Don’t do anything worse than it is. I am by your side always just as soon as I can get up there. Be safe my friend and don’t be so hard headed to Hannah. She is doing an amazing job. She is an Angel Queen sent to care for You dad. Be careful
Jeff your an amazing person you’ve taught everyone so much form me watching u and everyone that’s watching u and Hannah have a great team going for u in this recovery be safe brother love you get better so we can keep watching for years to come
"My neck, my back, bruise my kidney and my cap." Hope you have a good recovery! Hearing the story makes my EMT training yell "stay put, don't move your head! Get the backboard!" I'm glad it appears you have no serious spinal cord injury. ^-^
Thanks for the update Jeff ! Thanks to Hannah for her updates ! You’ve been on my mind steady I promise !!! We all get complacent in the woods. We’re not spring chickens anymore so please listen to that little one of yours and do what you gotta do! You’ll come out the other side better for it ! Take care my friend ! Much love from Maine
Someone was looking out for you. My wife worked for a neurologist and she saw many young men that feel out of tree stands and were paralyzed from the neck down. You were so fortunate in what happened the way it did. The good Lord was watching out for you. Prayers for a speedy recovery
That Nurse was really impressed with you I can tell fo show......glad you are able to do what you are...and continued recovery is in your future, Some are not so fortunate......I found my friend down, in his home Thursday.......from concentrated Carbon Dioxide Poisoning.....he is in Hyperbaric therapy and showing signs of improvement.....but levels of 200 ppm is high......inside the front door readings were 450 ppm....his sleeping room was pegging the meter in excess of 500. Brain function is improving, but only time will tell..I sincerely pray the Lord is on his side also. The Best to you Sir, and a complete recovery in your future.!!!
God Bless brother I’ve been where you are, I am so glad you have such a great daughter. Keep up the faith and keep fighting you are a great example of what good men can do. Praying for you and yours
God bless you. I have solved the problem of falling out of a treestand. I'm afraid of heights and never hunt off the ground. Having lived in PA, deer are driven, and in Vermont you track them. Here in NC the treestand is standard, but I don't use them. Greetings from Mayberry, NC.
God bless you praying for a swift recovery. I’ve been knocked out in the woods myself. Nothing nowhere near as bad as your ordeal but I had the top of a rotten pine tree fall out and knock me across the head and knocked me out. It’s not fun waking up in the woods, but it is peaceful.
Throughout my years of OSHA training, I've learned that harnesses are great, but if you're hanging by one you have 15 minutes for someone to rescue you or your gone because it cuts off your blood flow. The best harnesses are the ones with foot holes like on a horses saddle. You step in these holes and stand up which prevents the harness cutting off your blood flow around your legs. You obviously have a high tolerance of pain. Speedy recovery to you!!!!
It's so good just to see you standing there I was worried you wouldn't be able to walk. You seem to have very good spirits. Take it slow Jeff we are all rooting for you.
A friend of mine had the same thing happen with a deer stand several years ago. She is only about 90 pounds and it really broke her poor little body. She was not in as good of shape as you are and it took her a long time to recover. Ended up with a steel rod in her back. I hope you do well. My son had a torn ligament between two vertebrae in his neck when he was 9 and ended up with spinal fusion surgery. He recovered well and the only residual problem he has had is that he doesn't have full motion in his neck. He compensates by turning his shoulders so it doesn't really interfere with much. If you end up with neck surgery, I hope you do as well. Best wishes in your recovery!
I'm paralyzed from a truck accident. Happened 10 years ago, I'm 37 now. It's life changing but it really isn't that big of a deal. I'm a ground hunter now, use a trackchair to get around. I still build stuff, weld metal, hell even painted 2 vehicles. My advice to everyone, is go to a children's hospital. Once you see all those young kids that will most likely never leave and die at a very young age........ It will change how you look at life. This is just a small bump in the road Jeff. Give it a year and it will just be a memory and a good story to tell. Get well buddy
It's fortunate you are a paraplegic. I'm a quadriplegic for 37 years (when I was 17) and let me tell you, it is a big deal. I was okay for the first 15 or 20 years. I worked the last 20 years, but the last 10 years my body has degraded, the pain is constant and excruciating, not to mention my digestive system is a disaster. If I last another year it will be too long.
Been praying that you would have a speedy recovery with no long lasting effects. Glad to see you are up and moving. Please try to take it easy, so nothing else happens.
Thank the good Lord you're recovering well so far Jeff! God speed during your recovery so you can get back out there doing all the things you do so well Sir! Thoughts and prayers to you and your family from lil' ol' Millbrook.
You are truly driven, my friend. I'm glad to see you healing well. Prayers going up for the area in your neck you were talking about. May God bless you with healing so no sergery is needed. Appreciate you.
Glad you survived the learning experience. I’m sure all the people in your life have gone over many times and in great detail how you screwed up, how lucky you are, and how not to let it happen again. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Good to see you are in good spirits, super good channels you and your daughter have. You are the best medicine for stress and nice to see there is still hope in the woke USA. Wishing you a speedy recovery and the best for the future S. Brian Hansen. Denmark
Thanks for the update. You’re very lucky to be alive. Also lucky not to be paralyzed. I’ve never used deer tree stands but I’ve have dangerous jobs and fell several times. One time I broke both my heels. Another time I broke my arm, ribs and scapula. I’ve had a bunch of broken ribs throughout my life. Ribs are easy to break apparently. We’ll be praying for healing.
Hello from Florida. Glad for the update. Seriously take it easy and don't worry about too much activity until the bones are mended. The muscle atrophy is a minor issue compared to staying in positions that have things heal straight and strong. Avoid getting any hardware from surgery if you can. Nobody has improved quality of life from it, but it'll be there as an available option if your integrity in bones ever really gets that bad. Didn't know I almost met your daughter in Las Vegas recently, by accident. Would've been less focused on work if I knew that was a thing. You're doing good. Stay safe out there.
Hey Jeff, please don't mess around with your healing and don't be afraid of surgery. I've had two surgeries on my neck for discs that were pinching my spinal cord. Some people say they don't want to get surgery, but I look at it like they are simply stabilizing the structure! So if needed, get er done! And let Hannah take good care of ya as well. I've been praying for both of y'all and I'm telling ya, your one tuff cookie! Take care now and you will feel better later! God bless ya! 🙏 💪
I'm glad to see you are up and walking and able to post update .I hope your recovery keeps up and you heal fast but no more short cuts SAFETY FIRST PLEASE . We want to see you on here for a long time . I'm sure your daughter feels the same .
Been there brother from 20', knocked me out for 2 hours while the trash pandas I was hunting ate well. Crawled to the truck myself and spent two months healing up. Glad you are doing well!
Jeff, I was 'dead' for 20 minutes after riding head first into a tractor in 1990. I had exactly the same kind of beautiful dream before I was dragged back into my body with a headache.
Keep up the healing Process it's hard for a person always on the go stuff to get done! But slow down and heal good. Prayers for no surgery! Make sure get a specialist that deal with the Spine!! Appreciate you and Hanna !! Take care Brother!
It's hard for me to listen to this story , which I only made it through about 4 minutes of it , coz I'm in the woods twice a week doing similar stuff all the time alone. Safety is the # 1 goal that I think about before I take on any projects. I' KNOW you'll strap up next time , Jeff ; and I'm glad you're pulling through this. Taker easy.
Jeff you had a near death experience. That was the dream. You’ve been given a second chance. Get better. We need you all.
I was thinking that too.
Had the same conclusion. The movie "After Death" is exactly what came to mind.
Sure happy you are getting better Jeff!!❤💪
Nah... he had a concussive injury from the fall. He literally got knocked out. He wasn't "near death" at any point of his situation. That's not how it works.... at all.
Yep
25 yrs ago I fell 25 ft head first from a scaffold to the concrete floor. Houston Sports Clinic Dr. Burkis Columbus Ga fused my neck (hardware and screws).

You’re still in my prayers, speedy recovery, Jeff
Mr Barron....TAKE IT EASY BROTHER!!!! I know you won't lol but obviously you know we're rooting for ya buddy!!! GOD BLESS YA SIR

Take care of yourself Jeff You and Hannah are shining lights. The world needs more like you two.

15 min from a doctor for a broken neck and back is ridiculous. I’m praying you will power thru this!!🙏
We’re thankful too Jeff. Bless you son.
A broken man is humble
A humble man that is broken is blessed… prayers from Philadelphia

My coworker fell and broke his back about 6 years ago. Had to be flown to the hospital, had 2 steel rods in his back and was in hospital 3 weeks. He is now still working as a career firefighter! Best to you Jeff!
Much love to you, such a terrible accident. Take it easy and allow yourself to heal. There's a multitude of us praying for you.

When you can’t climb a tree then don’t give up your Hunting, Then it’ll be time to go to Ground Blinds. They are very effective once you get them put up and established. Once the deer get used to that ground blind being there they don’t pay it a bit of attention. Glad you’re still hunting at your age, I’m real close to your age and I’m still hunting also. If i ever get wheel chair bound in my old age as long as I can still operate a rifle or crossbow....Then I’ll have someone roll me into a ground blind so I can still hunt. God Bless ya brother, happy hunting for as long as you can go! 😁👍🏼
@CCRider5312 thanks brother, my philosophy is, don't let the old man in!
Hey Jeff. Looking in pretty good shape. Be careful dad. Don’t do anything worse than it is. I am by your side always just as soon as I can get up there. Be safe my friend and don’t be so hard headed to Hannah. She is doing an amazing job. She is an Angel Queen sent to care for You dad. Be careful
Jeff your an amazing person you’ve taught everyone so much form me watching u and everyone that’s watching u and Hannah have a great team going for u in this recovery be safe brother love you get better so we can keep watching for years to come
"My neck, my back, bruise my kidney and my cap." Hope you have a good recovery!
Hearing the story makes my EMT training yell "stay put, don't move your head! Get the backboard!" I'm glad it appears you have no serious spinal cord injury. ^-^
God bless you Jeff, hope everything turns out well and you recover fast.
Thanks for the update Jeff ! Thanks to Hannah for her updates ! You’ve been on my mind steady I promise !!! We all get complacent in the woods. We’re not spring chickens anymore so please listen to that little one of yours and do what you gotta do! You’ll come out the other side better for it ! Take care my friend ! Much love from Maine
Praying for your full recovery brother Jeff. Get that rest and heal up‼️
🙏🏻 💪🏼
Someone was looking out for you.
My wife worked for a neurologist and she saw many young men that feel out of tree stands and were paralyzed from the neck down. You were so fortunate in what happened the way it did. The good Lord was watching out for you.
Prayers for a speedy recovery
Glad to hear you are doing better, I will be keeping you in my prayers for complete healing!!!
That Nurse was really impressed with you I can tell fo show......glad you are able to do what you are...and continued recovery is in your future, Some are not so fortunate......I found my friend down, in his home Thursday.......from concentrated Carbon Dioxide Poisoning.....he is in Hyperbaric therapy and showing signs of improvement.....but levels of 200 ppm is high......inside the front door readings were 450 ppm....his sleeping room was pegging the meter in excess of 500. Brain function is improving, but only time will tell..I sincerely pray the Lord is on his side also. The Best to you Sir, and a complete recovery in your future.!!!
We love you Jeff!❤ Hope you recover and rest.🙏
God Bless brother I’ve been where you are, I am so glad you have such a great daughter. Keep up the faith and keep fighting you are a great example of what good men can do. Praying for you and yours
My brother in Christ. I’m glad you’re ok. God speed in recovery. Take your time. We all will be here. Second year hunting. At 42 😂
God bless you. I have solved the problem of falling out of a treestand. I'm afraid of heights and never hunt off the ground. Having lived in PA, deer are driven, and in Vermont you track them. Here in NC the treestand is standard, but I don't use them. Greetings from Mayberry, NC.
Continued prayers for a swift and complete recovery 🙏🙏🙏
God bless you praying for a swift recovery. I’ve been knocked out in the woods myself. Nothing nowhere near as bad as your ordeal but I had the top of a rotten pine tree fall out and knock me across the head and knocked me out. It’s not fun waking up in the woods, but it is peaceful.
Throughout my years of OSHA training, I've learned that harnesses are great, but if you're hanging by one you have 15 minutes for someone to rescue you or your gone because it cuts off your blood flow. The best harnesses are the ones with foot holes like on a horses saddle. You step in these holes and stand up which prevents the harness cutting off your blood flow around your legs. You obviously have a high tolerance of pain. Speedy recovery to you!!!!
Man, glad you walked away from it, back/spine and neck injuries are terrifying
Praying for you Jeff. Please let Hannah know that someone has a TikTok account pretending to be her.
You think he is worried about that right now?
@@bigrayskitchen6803 Don’t remember asking your opinion.
@@bigrayskitchen6803 Big Ray, once they mention TikTok, you know what you're dealing with
You took the short bus dincha? 😶
Do you think he is your personal messenger? Tell her yourself.
Man you look good for having that happen to you. God bless you and Hannah.🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's so good just to see you standing there I was worried you wouldn't be able to walk. You seem to have very good spirits. Take it slow Jeff we are all rooting for you.
A friend of mine had the same thing happen with a deer stand several years ago. She is only about 90 pounds and it really broke her poor little body. She was not in as good of shape as you are and it took her a long time to recover. Ended up with a steel rod in her back. I hope you do well. My son had a torn ligament between two vertebrae in his neck when he was 9 and ended up with spinal fusion surgery. He recovered well and the only residual problem he has had is that he doesn't have full motion in his neck. He compensates by turning his shoulders so it doesn't really interfere with much. If you end up with neck surgery, I hope you do as well. Best wishes in your recovery!
I'm paralyzed from a truck accident. Happened 10 years ago, I'm 37 now. It's life changing but it really isn't that big of a deal. I'm a ground hunter now, use a trackchair to get around. I still build stuff, weld metal, hell even painted 2 vehicles. My advice to everyone, is go to a children's hospital. Once you see all those young kids that will most likely never leave and die at a very young age........ It will change how you look at life. This is just a small bump in the road Jeff. Give it a year and it will just be a memory and a good story to tell. Get well buddy
It's fortunate you are a paraplegic. I'm a quadriplegic for 37 years (when I was 17) and let me tell you, it is a big deal. I was okay for the first 15 or 20 years. I worked the last 20 years, but the last 10 years my body has degraded, the pain is constant and excruciating, not to mention my digestive system is a disaster. If I last another year it will be too long.
Good to see you up and around you are a walking miracle. I will continue to pray for your recovery.
Never commented before. Just hopping on to wish you the best. Praying for patience during the recovery.
Been praying that you would have a speedy recovery with no long lasting effects. Glad to see you are up and moving. Please try to take it easy, so nothing else happens.
Thank the good Lord you're recovering well so far Jeff! God speed during your recovery so you can get back out there doing all the things you do so well Sir! Thoughts and prayers to you and your family from lil' ol' Millbrook.
Appreciate the update. Still thinking and praying for your continued recovery. God speed.
You're very lucky. When I broke my neck, I stood up and my whole body collapsed. Dead from the chest down. That was 42 years ago. God bless you.
May God bless you
You are truly driven, my friend. I'm glad to see you healing well. Prayers going up for the area in your neck you were talking about. May God bless you with healing so no sergery is needed. Appreciate you.
Glad you survived the learning experience. I’m sure all the people in your life have gone over many times and in great detail how you screwed up, how lucky you are, and how not to let it happen again. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Glad to see you can walk and use your arms. That is a blessing.
Good to see you are in good spirits, super good channels you and your daughter have. You are the best medicine for stress and nice to see there is still hope in the woke USA.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and the best for the future

Good to hear your upright and praying you healing will come soon. Thanks for the advice about safety equipment, lesson learned.
Keep on trucking. You are so lucky. Count your blessings. Best of more LUCK to you and yours.
Thanks for the update. You’re very lucky to be alive. Also lucky not to be paralyzed.
I’ve never used deer tree stands but I’ve have dangerous jobs and fell several times. One time I broke both my heels. Another time I broke my arm, ribs and scapula. I’ve had a bunch of broken ribs throughout my life. Ribs are easy to break apparently.
We’ll be praying for healing.
Best wishes Jeff. We all know you're going to make a great recovery. 👍
Hello from Florida. Glad for the update. Seriously take it easy and don't worry about too much activity until the bones are mended. The muscle atrophy is a minor issue compared to staying in positions that have things heal straight and strong. Avoid getting any hardware from surgery if you can. Nobody has improved quality of life from it, but it'll be there as an available option if your integrity in bones ever really gets that bad. Didn't know I almost met your daughter in Las Vegas recently, by accident. Would've been less focused on work if I knew that was a thing. You're doing good. Stay safe out there.
Ill keep you in my prayers. You are a mentor to all of us. God bless you and yours.
Hey Jeff, please don't mess around with your healing and don't be afraid of surgery. I've had two surgeries on my neck for discs that were pinching my spinal cord. Some people say they don't want to get surgery, but I look at it like they are simply stabilizing the structure! So if needed, get er done! And let Hannah take good care of ya as well. I've been praying for both of y'all and I'm telling ya, your one tuff cookie! Take care now and you will feel better later! God bless ya! 🙏 💪
Damn son!!! Glad you’re upright and doing as well are you are. Please be careful, take good care of yourself! You’ll be in our prayers!
I'm glad to see you are up and walking and able to post update .I hope your recovery keeps up and you heal fast but no more short cuts SAFETY FIRST PLEASE . We want to see you on here for a long time . I'm sure your daughter feels the same .
Good on you sir... your relationship with your daughter is priceless..
Stay the course.
Keep your smile.
Been there brother from 20', knocked me out for 2 hours while the trash pandas I was hunting ate well. Crawled to the truck myself and spent two months healing up. Glad you are doing well!
I’ve been looking for the whole story. I’m glad you’re healing up brother
Jeff, I was 'dead' for 20 minutes after riding head first into a tractor in 1990. I had exactly the same kind of beautiful dream before I was dragged back into my body with a headache.
From NC, god bless you Jeff, stay patient. This will take time. We all love you and your family!
Glad you're up and moving around, Bless you and Hannah. Love and appreciate y'all
The Lord blessed you with another testimony to His mercy. Praying for a complete and speedy recovery 🙏🙏
wow... you are a trooper man. thanks for sharing and helping to educate.
I'm really glad to see you recovering well. I am continuing to send prayers.
Good luck in your recovery. Keep moving & keep preaching about safety and safety equipment! Too many people think safety is lame.
God bless you Jeff, you are a strong man. I hope you recover quickly and I will say a prayer for you to heal well.
Keep up the healing Process it's hard for a person always on the go stuff to get done! But slow down and heal good. Prayers for no surgery! Make sure get a specialist that deal with the Spine!! Appreciate you and Hanna !! Take care
Brother!
Good luck, Jeff. My respect for you is off the charts.
Praying for wisdom, patiense & healing for you man!
It's hard for me to listen to this story , which I only made it through about 4 minutes of it , coz I'm in the woods twice a week doing similar stuff all the time alone. Safety is the # 1 goal that I think about before I take on any projects. I' KNOW you'll strap up next time , Jeff ; and I'm glad you're pulling through this. Taker easy.
Very close call! Prayers for you to make a full recovery!
