Debbie "let" me go out and brand the 40 youngest calves we had today. :D
Was on my feet for 2 hours continuous by the time I got back to the house. Other than the right hand turns at the front of the table to implant the steers I had no problems.

She and Robert had everything sorted before lunch and are moving cows and choring now. Still feel useless but am a long ways from what I was a week ago. I'll be back to jogging before you know it! :lol:

We've also had a whole 3 hours without rain.
 
Good to hear you are on the mend!! I hear there isn't a worse patient then an old rancher. :twisted:
 
Ha, tried calling you this afternoon but I just figured you were too far from the phone. A couple of hours a day of work is a good pace anyway! :wink:
 
I'll race you to "Healed Up". Just got out of surgery for my hernia two hours ago. :( hope it doesn't take as long as they claim it will. :?

So you popped a gut! Did they cut you open or work through popes?

My first one was incision style and hurt far worse right after it was done! The second one was laparoscopic(sp) and harldy any discomfort at all.

Good to hear you're healing up Gcreek! But behave yourself with the workload or I'll come out and tie you down.

Or die trying maybe? :lol:

Y'know, I'm not entirely sure how they did it :oops: They were talking and I wasn't really listening, just nodding my head and wishing I was anywhere but there! They didn't knock me out, just a spinal :? and something to keep me groggy. I guess when I take the dressing off I'll know. Hurts like hell though.
 
that laparoscopic deal is not as fast heal as you think...I had my gall bladder removed last fall, and four days later thought I was good enough to move hay with the bale trailer..... wound up tearing out the stitches in the big tube hole.....Dr. was not pleased that I was working, then I told him it happened around 10am, and I finished the job about 6 that night.

Still feel useless

You could be like a "team" of ponies my BIL had. :D

My sister called them "Useless and More useless." :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
I just had my appendix out at the beginning of April and they did it lap. I hurt way worse from the surgery than I did from the appendicitis. The first week wasn't a lot of fun. I was still pretty sore a couple of weeks later when I got to go back to work, but once I hit four weeks it was like a switch was thrown and I was back to normal. I don't even feel it now except for the knot where the incision was. The first couple of weeks made me pretty aware of just how much you use your abdominal muscles.

I found it interesting how much a groin muscle has to do with a sneeze. :shock: :shock: :shock:

well, when you have a fat little gut it puts pressure on the stitches....

:wink:
 
Did you try going to a Chiropractor? When I broke my hip I was in alot of lower back pain ended up talking my chiropractor into an adjustment was a remarkable differance. Get well soon.

It's amazing how many ailing body parts a sneeze has connection to. It can locate a muscle, connecting tissue or bone injury quicker than an xray!
 
Get well soon everybody. Gcreek, I would not want to be hurt either if it doubled my workload to a couple of hours a day :P

A sneeze or cough, either one, would put me on the floor. It is also the only time I ever wished I had a bidet.

Ya know I hadn't considered that upcoming challenge! :shock: :cry:
 
Ol' Roy that stays with us at times had a hernia 3-4 years ago. He was complaining about the trip to town until I told him that I had operated on a couple weaner pigs before and if he didn't mind swinging from the loader bucket for a few minutes I could fix him up.

He decided the trip to town was the lesser of two evils. :lol:
