    I’m sorry to hear about your arm, Brian. You are blessed with good friends and a loving caring wife. God bless Dianne. You will be in my daily prayers, will say a decade Rosary for you, for recovery back to normal so you can truly enjoy you beautiful “humble abode”. She is WOW. Just take it easy and get better.

      I asked on my follow up why the meds weren’t helping with the pain before the surgery? The Doc said somethings can be too painful for the meds to treat. I was unaware of that. Thankful to be feeling better.

  • @roamingelk7271
    @roamingelk7271 Рік тому +2

    I came pretty close to having compartment syndrome when my lower leg was crushed. The soft tissue swells up so much that there basically isn't enough room to swell anymore and it cuts off circulation like a tourniquet.
    I was in horrible pain from my accident and I could barely stand a sheet or light blanket covering my foot. I can't imagine how it was with your arm. I was told it probably would have been better to have a bone break vs all the soft tissue damage I had.
    Yep, those narcotics can make you loopy, but it still hurts.
    Sorry you had that episode, but I am glad they finally figured it out before you lost your arm. Healing energy coming your way!

    It's ironic that living an active life makes you healthier and helps you live longer but at the same time, you are more at risk for injury. Better that than life in a bubble, I think. So glad you have a great help mate and friends to deal with this. Get well soon.

You never really "owe" A friend/family your just there for them as they are for you no matter what. You never want to burden them with your needs but you always want to be there for them and true friends and family feel the same way. PS that boat is SO NICE! Man its killing me as I am dolling my Stratos 2500WA up to sell it so ill be boating vicariously through you 2 for a while.

    I'm glad you are out of the hospital. I lost the use of my right arm for 6 weeks after I had surgery to re-attach my biceps tendon. It can really make things difficult losing the use of your arm. I can say that my healing really took off once I started getting more animal protein and animal fats in my diet. Don't over do it and definitely get your rest. I hope all goes well and don't worry about your content. Doesn't matter if it's about the cabin, your boat, or hanging a clothesline. We'll all be here watching. Take care.

Don't worry about us and don't apologize about what kind of videos will be coming out. I DO look forward to next week's video to get the low down on the whole thing. I wish we didn't have to wait all the way until next week.

    Regarding the boat we are waiting for, it will be a Polaris 15.5 ft RIB. We had a remote cabin for 14 years in north central BC but sold it 2:years ago and no longer need the larger boat that we had (similar to your old boat). I understand what you go through to get back and forth and really like your stories. Looking forward to your boating adventures this summer.
    Get well soon.
