    We hope you heed your doctors after surgery instructions. Just an fyi. My sister had double hernia surgery. She is a very active individual. She behaved for several weeks after surgery. However, there came a point she believed she was healed enough to be more active and do more. Yep. She had to go in for the surgery again. Basically she has spent the last 18 months with 2 surgeries and recovery after each. She does admit she was too eager to get back to being her old self and really set back her recovery. The recovery from surgery number 2 was more sore and much longer. As difficult as it is to be patient through your recovery, don't make the mistake to do something to injure the healing process. You don't want to hear they have to go back in and do the surgery again.

    • @jmar665
      @jmar665 3 місяці тому +2

      I have not even watched the video as yet. And I am thinking that Joe better heed the doctors' instructions. We all know how he is and it will be very difficult for him to sit still and not want to be outside clearing snow. We watch his videos because he has more energy than most of us and he is always doing something that we want to and like to watch. Slow down Joe, get better and then you can be most active all summer long. Most men never call off work even when ill and they just go and go until they break down. Be patient and get better for a second surgery is brutal.

I know you are really feeling the surgery after all that riding and bumping on the four wheeler. Better be careful, stay safe. Enjoyed the meals and the breads you all have been making. Catch you on the next one. Fred.

    For those who like/enjoy snow a forecast that you have is great. I don't dislike snow per se it is the aftermath that I get uncomfortable. Days after the snow has built up and you have the snow melt and snow freeze cycle. People around here have problems driving in wet weather anyway. Add Ice on the road and it spells disaster even though the Dept of Transportation salts the roads.

      When medically someone isn't up to par, it's natural to obsess a little about things like snow. It has to get plowed and has to be attacked in a different way than he would normally do it. Joe is a, get things done guy, and will come up with a way to get it done. If this bothers you so much, why do you watch his video's? I would call that a little obsessive.
