- So this is what not to do after surgery! I'm finally out of the woods and feeling better but definitely made some mistakes along the way. We're on the road to recovery now and looking forward to healing up and getting back out in the garden. For all of you who did, thanks for following me on this journey.

Here's a playlist of the whole recovery process: ua-cam.com/play/PLpmpssr45yfPYcLFY17ouccZZNdfvtH6I.html
Thanks for these videos i have nearly the exact same injury as yourself …. And it really does make you feel like crap i dont think you’ll understand unless you experience this injury. And the first night after surgery was exactly the same for me too horrendous. Thanks for these videos again they really help
I was wondering ..... Videos of 'venting' can be therapeutic & I don't think any of us mind. 😊 you chatterbox! Lol
lol
Yes I did something like this once and everyone said I never stopped chattering, chatter, chatter. It was shock apparently. Get well soon.
I had a 3 1/2 pound tumor removed from my abdomen. My husband said when I came out of surgery I yelled LANE am I skinny yet? He said everyone in recovery was laughing. Thanks for your update. Now you can get back to Life! Rhonda
God bless your precious wife💞

When recovering from surgery I found it was a little cycle of good and bad days. 1 good,1 bad. 2 good, 1 bad. 3 good, 1 not so good. Get the picture. Take care and you can still hug your wife and daughters. - Marcie
I am glad that all went well and now it up to you, god bless all.
Mike, Listen to your wife and the doctor!! Get well soon!! It’s okay, take the meds!!
I'm listening now!
Thank God that you didn't cut your hand all to pieces. Your guardian angel did a great job.
Sure did!
That which does not kill us, makes us stronger!
I'm with you! Wish you fast recovery. I just had a distal biceps re-attachtment operation. A whole arm out. I'm healing good!
I'm sitting here shaking my head. Glad you don't have any more pain...
I see you have to learn the hard way..lol!
So happy to hear the good news from the doctor. That’s awesome!!!
Well, take care and get better soon!
Thanks for taking time out to update all your viewers.
You're welcome Cindy.
Listen to your OT!!! Therapists know their stuff! Glad to hear that things by and large went well. Don't rush your healing process.
I've become a better student in the past couple days, lol
You are amazing, thanks for sharing. Keep the updates please.
"Mikes Journal" I have to have the same block on Wednesday. now I know what to look forward to.
Hahaha you boys don't like to listen! Praise God you're well! Just relax and enjoy your involuntary vacation! Take care
Thinking about you this weekend....so glad you came thru it. You’ll heal well....after all you have 3 lovely gals to help you.😊
6 weeks is like a 6 months when Your down, better be glad you didn't get that shoulder out when you fall. Have good family time,and get well slowly, and take your meds.
Love how honest you are about the whole thing!!! Also we probably all hung in there because you paint a good picture and are a good story teller so we feel like we were right there with you. You crack me up!!! You're brother is right!!! There should be shirts haha #itsjustapinky
Now that awful experience is behind you, focus on the good things. You have a lot of great people in your life. First being your family! You are blessed beyond measure! God is giving you an opportunity to shine! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks Sandra, I truly am blessed to have the family I have, including you guys
Glad you're doing better.
Mike, sorry to hear you were in severe pain, but I can somehow relate to the passing out from the pain. I ‘ve been through 3 major back surgeries and for each I had spinal taps done right after surgery . The icu nurses had to move me from side to side due to a drain in my back, 1st few days,I blacked out from the pain and I even coded twice. I wasn’t given any drugs because I kept passing out, finally on the fifth day I was on a morphine drip. Now, I guess you will be a little more understanding with your patients. Take great care of yourself and let your wife know each day how much you appreciate her. God bless you
Mike, I am so glad you had a very successful surgery.
I enjoyed your video from start to finish.
Thank you for sharing.
Oh my Mike, hope you are feeling better today. It seems to me not taking your medication delays your recovery because you put your system under so much more stress by doing what you did. The energy you used trying to fight through it would have been going to your hand? You will use what you learned to help your patients so it was not in vain. Best wishes
Hi Mike. Wow, you are so cute and funny. You make me laugh. I found you when you did the Hydrangea cutting video, "your Great Aunt's Hydrangea....." You have a lot of people who care about you here. Please take care of yourself and don't rush things.
Thanks for being a part of our family here!
Mike, can you get it into your head that God is using you. All the people that you have reached! Can’t believe you have had the courage to bare your soul through all of this, from beginning till now. “Yea, though I pass through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,... For thou art with me...” Ken
Praying 🙏🏻 for you!!!!
Glad all went well with the operation. All I got was a local and a splinted finger. The pain is the worst I ever had, thank God for pain killers.
glad your through with the surgery, hope your pain gets easier, oh and NAVY, semper-fi brother lol just had to throw that in there best of luck don't overdo it hang tuft bro need more videos lol.
Thank God you are okay! We are here for you! take care we will see you when you are ready----no hurry you are awesome at what you do... no one has the energy that you do! You're one of a kind!
Thanks for the sweet comment!
I admire you Mr Kincaid for being truthful and not playing the hardman. Respect mate 👍
Integrity is important. If I lie to you once, you'll question everything I say from then on. No shame in being honest.
After my surgery I did stupid stuff too but I got a hit it to you you actually made a video of it and put it online I would’ve never dreamed of doing it Mike Kincaid you are the man heal fast recover well just take it easy you’re gonna need it next year we need you back
So thankful you were able to have a smooth experience. I know it can be stressful not knowing the ending.
Hope you have a quick GOOD recovery 🙏
All healed up!
Happy for you!! Hope recovery goes as smooth!
I think all us guys are the same! We break something or cut off something and then think we know better than the Dr who fixed us what to do next. 😁😁 Glad it went well when you finally listened. I identified all the way! Great video!
My Dad always said that us guys are only half wired!
I finally found a job and start work tomorrow. Knowing i can down load that book as a PDF is awesome news. You get better. Take this time to enjoy the extra family time. Thank your wife for me, for taking care of you very well.
Good luck with your new job!
Oh and thanks for your Naval service.
Thanks for the updates. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Be strong and God will help you through this. My prayers and best wishes.
Thanks George.
Hey, Mike!
I feel you, man. 2 weeks ago I was washing the dishes and one of them slipped out of my hand. Instinct made me try to catch it before it hit the floor, and the dish suddenly split in 2 and cut deep into my middle finger. I ended up with 5 stitches, and numbness in part of the finger. Im still in the healing prosess, and hope it will turn out ok in the end.
Thanks for posting the pinkie videos😊

Glad to hear it's not too bad. Hopefully you didn't cut a nerve but to be honest, I'd rather cut a nerve than a tendon. Hope you heal up quick.
Good to hear you’re ok Mike.
Surgery is scary. Knowing too much about injuries can work against a patient. When I had major surgery, I just remembered blinking and when my eyes opened from that blink 4 hours had passed. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, that was about the same for me. I was talking to the anesthesiologist one second, and the next I was opening my eyes in the recovery room.
My 77 yr old Dad had always been very active, but finally had hip replacement surgery to correct pain in hip. He was supposed to take it easy for 6wks but felt so good that after 7 days climbed a ladder with a 50# bag of corn on his shoulder to put it in the feeder. All was well until the highest step, when he lost his balance a little and pushed up with his post-surgical leg. POP!
Docs said that the injury could not be repaired with another replacement, and he's lived the last 9 years with pain at a 4-5 (pre-surgical was 5-6).
I learned then to moderate my own tendency to not follow post-surgical instructions!!!
Good lesson
I'm so glad everything went well. Best of luck to you 🙏
I learned that about the medications as well usually have to take them the first day or 2 and good after that. Sometimes we have to learn things the hard way. They have the book in audio here on youtube. Glad to see things are moving forward for you. Make a conscience effort to keep slowing yourself down even though you are feeling better for the first 6 months to a year. I didn't and ended up worse off than my initial injury. I felt good and pushed and hurt myself worse. Also most important your wife listen to her ... she cares for you and your health she wants to keep you around for a long time.
Wow, pain can just shut your whole system down, l can't imagine how difficult that was just to get back to your bed!! Bless your Wife, she must have been terrified, thank goodness things are so much better now Mike. 😊
Years ago after an appendectomy while still in the hospital I didn’t want my pain meds either for the same reason. My nurse who was also a friend said that by taking the meds your body is able to relax and rest better enabling the healing process. That helped my thinking. Glad to hear you are past all that intense pain. And YES a VERY GOOD idea to take pain meds an hour before your therapy appointment! Continuing to pray for you. I’m glad you are sharing everything and that now it’s documented as well for you.
So glad your doing well! Praying for a speedy recovery for you!
Glad the surgery went well and you are feeling better. Love you RN's. My daughter is an RN. While she was in training, I used to watch eye surgeries, knee surgeries, all kinds with her. Take care, and go slow. Give your sweet wife and girls a hug from your fans.
The worst is behind you now, Mike. As always, thanks for the update. Did your Calderona breba fig ever ripen? I had one breba on mine as well, and I ate it yesterday. It was really good, and I hear that the main crop is even better. It's been comparatively cool for July here and we just barely got into the low 80's today. Still, I've been eating a few brebas lately. None of them were as good as the calderona yesterday. Also, I hope the baby ducks are going fine. Be sure to keep us updated on them whenever you're able to.
it did ripen and i think i made a video but forgot to post it, lol. i'll get an update of the ducks soon
Thanks for the update. I’ve seen you in a different light, not just a propagator, but a normal human with most of the problems we all face. Really enjoy seeing your dear wife and two beautiful daughters, you are truly Blessed.
BTW, I bought the book and am reading it.
Awesome! So glad to hear it.
Get well soon Mike take care
Hi Mike, I am so glad that your surgery went well. I don't like taking meds either, but sometimes you just have to. I am glad that you didn't hurt yourself when you fell again. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on. Just follow doctors orders and don't try to do anything that could jeopardize your recovery. Take care and best wishes to you and your family.
Watched entire video...Don't be so hard on yourself....I m like you in that way....not taking meds, pain, etc. I just hate to take pills and don't trust pharma.....all are toxic in my opinion....
Thx for the update ! Glad to hear your good report...prayer changes things!
Lucky for you have loving understanding wife👍but l understand why you feel that way. Pinkie is life👍glad you ok now. I just watch it and realised it happened a while back❤️
So glad to hear your pain has gone down.I will say you were the entertainment on the ride home.See ya tomorrow or Wed.for sure.
Glad to entertain!
Glad you are okay now after surgery. Keeping you in my prayers and I still thinks its refreshing that you are just being totally honest and real about your experience. 😇 Maybe you should write a book too about all your amazing gardening tips ???
Please remember all of this when you go back to work.
I will, that's for sure
Hi Mike , I met you on your Oregon vacation and was so thrilled to meat my favorite UA-cam gardener. Hope you heal quickly and looking forward to more videos soon.
It was fun to meet you and you get to work in such a wonderful place. Have fun gardening this summer! P.S. keep the tractor guy out of the artichoke fields! LOL
Thank God is right Mike so wonderful that you are on the mends your dear wife ❤️❤️
I owe her big time after all of this!
Hi Mike, I just found this video. Tomorrow it's monday and I'll go through surgery because I have an injury similar to yours on my left pinky finger (luckily for me, I'm right handed) that cut my tendon and nerve. I'm terrified that it won't go well and it'll affect my karate training (I compete, I need both my hands to do so and the technique is key) so I began looking for information, and I found your videos. It's helping me to know what's gonna happen, so thank you for sharing your experience and I hope you're way better nowadays
It’s been 5 years for me and it’s all healed. The finger is still bent, doesn’t straighten all the way, and the tip doesn’t bend but I’m use to it now. It’s a process. Just keep your head up and follow the doctors instructions. Good luck.
aww mike! im sorry you had to go through that. glad everything went okay! hope you have a speedy recovery
Thankful surgery went well a real answer to prayer. Praying for your recovery and no complications. Enjoying hearing about your procedure and recovery. Think it’s therapeutic for you plus educates all of us. Thanks again for sharing
Yep, I'm finding it's therapeutic to talk about. Maybe we should have more frequent sessions, lol.
Got this surgery done today. Nice to know we had similar experiences
It's a bummer but hopefully you recover quickly.
Mike, I told my husband you should give up plants and become a comedian!! Sounds like you and your brother have a lot in common! I love 💘 listening to your videos!! You make me laugh 😆 ! I am having knee surgery Thursday. Thanks to your video I now know what not to do and I will definitely follow doctors orders!! 😃 So happy you're past that part of your life!!
I'm so glad this is over too. What a crazy experience. Just take your pain meds and you'll be fine. Good luck, Marcia!
Wow, sorry you went through all that, glad you are all better and back to gardening!
Yeah, me too, lol
It’s all about growing things. And the garden.
So GLAD to see that you are now doing well. Sorry you didn't "stay ahead of the pain".....but perhaps youvee helped a lot of people that may be a tad hard headed too! ;-) You and your family are still in my prayers. Take care..I am looking forward to your new videos.....BUT your health is more important right now!! Hugs from this S.C. grandma!! ♡♡♡
Thanks for the hugs!
You should know being a nurse that pain is always magnified in the night time. Pain meds are must important from 2000 to 0600. You are doing great now. All will be well. (No pun intended.)
Working in the home health care field as a social worker, I am always amazed at how the retired nurses I visit who are recovering from illnesses or surgeries are such bad patients. They are stubborn, and may or may not follow the doctor's orders. Sometimes they pay for that. Seems the worst part of this whole thing was after the surgery, with you in so much pain and probably on the verge of going into shock. We can never see ourselves the way we can see others. That is why nurses make good nurses, but lousy patients. Glad you are on the mend. Blessings.
We all learn from our experiences in life especially our mistakes so don't beat yourself up about how you behaved after surgery it can really mess with your mind. Not only the drugs doing the messing but your body recovering from trauma it has been through, you know all about that in your profession I'm sure. Try and take this time you have on your hands (no pun intended!) to rest, reflect and do something you don't usually get the time to do (as long as it can be done one handed of course) Wishing you (and your poor wife, who loves you and will always look after you no matter what) a speedy recovery Mike. On another note my recent attempts at propagating are not doing too bad, some good some not so but what I have learnt from plants is always give them time, so I will. And this afternoon I shall try some Hydrangea cuttings I am going to pinch from my son's plant I am looking after in my garden in a bit pot and it is doing extremely well, I must be doing something right it seems.
I'm so glad you're doing better and on the road to recovery! You take care of yourself!
The worst is over Mike you took it like a boss🎊🎊🍾🎈,now time for the healing process.😊
I can see you don't make a good patient,and you don't follow doctors orders🤔 like to stay busy!😊
Try to relax 😱
I bet you've thought of a hundred things to do, and how you can get them done without hurting your hand or using it!!..🤔
Don't try it Mike!!😄 just relax😊👍
Appreciate how your consistent with your posts your awesome👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍Thank you🤗
Thanks Debra!
Mike...recovery is in process...Patience is the name of the game! To Mrs. Kincaid...you are earning your way to heaven:) Can't wait for future propogation information from Mike.
Man im so sorry.. Hope it heals right. Life can be so hard sometimes!
Good news Mike, glad all went well and "let the healing begin!" 😁 just a thought but see in those times that will come, when you get frustrated with "not being able to get on with the job" find your book and as its not copyrighted how about you share some of those readings with us 😊 6 weeks will soon pass and all will be well once again in your world of wonderment 🌞💓🌍🌎🌏💓🌞 patience is the key 😊
That's a good motto
Make sure you plan out your pain meds with your OT visits so that you are on the meds when you get there.
Hang in there Mike!
I'm from Ukraine and also went to a surgery a few years ago and the anesthesiologist asked almost exactly the same haha
Glad she was there..Drs. know best....take the meds. Rest..rest...pray..
Sending prayers🙏🏼🙏🏼👍
All healed up. Thanks for your support, Kris!
Glad to hear the good news. Now you have to really give yourself permission to take things a bit slower and allow your body to heal. Keep the pain managed, that's the most important thing to keep mindful of. You'll be pain free sooner than you think but until then listen to your wife. You're healthy, strong and good natured, that alone will help your healing process. Best of luck with the recovery. You'll be back to your nursery tasks and videos in no time. Cheers from Canada.
Mike, thank you for the videos regarding your accident, surgery and re-coup... I have spent many hours of my last two Saturdays watching them and learned quite a lot from your recovery as expressed by you... Thank you...!!! BUT... in the meantime, a huge and warm embrace for your wife... Ask her about how she feels and what she is thinking... If this incident was bad enough for you, you just can't imagine what it meant to her... I am with her...!!! And your children...!!! (and with you too... of course...!!! ) Love you...
Thanks for watching and yes, I owe my wife a nice night out after all of this.
@@MikeKincaid79 I was thinking more of brief moments of warmth and tenderness... Not to say you are not offering them, not at all, just make them more numerous, more often, at every turn... Like rubbing your nose to hers... Kissing her neck... YOU KNOW ALL THAT, FOR PETE'S SAKES...!!! I am off now...
Haha
Lesson learned. Follow instructions. They always tell me to take the pain pill before the pain becomes an issue. Hope your recovery goes very well. Enjoyed your honesty. Looking forward to more propagation videos. Thanks and God bless.
I hope YOU have a great week ~ you deserve and need it! Thanks for sharing.
Had a nerve block from the knee down due to ORIF repairing my ankle in December. I still don’t have full feeling back. I will never do a nerve block ever again.
I’m really glad you are on the mend!!
Wow, that's a long time!
Mike Kincaid yeah. It stinks and they said it could take a year. 😟
Post surgery I sweat like crazy!! So gross.
I’m really happy your pinky will be up soon as you drink a cup of tea 😃😋
Praying for your recovery. Haven’t had the chance to watch your recent video posts til now and forgot how enjoyable they are. I didn’t know you’re also an RN like me. Take care and hoping for your speedy recovery!
❤️ Hang in there you are going to be fine. Thanks for the update. Prayers your way ❤️
Glad you are back, but be careful and wish you a fast recovery
Glad you survived, Mike! Orthopedic surgery is the worst when it comes to post-surgery pain!
It was pretty bad. Glad to be on day 4 and feeling much better.
Fantastic news!
I'm glad you're through the hard part, so now you can concentrate on getting better and enjoying the summer. Glad you got that vacation in first! :)
me too!
Hi Mike, so glad you're recuperating and thanks for updating us all. Don't miss your meds and get well soon! I watch all your videos without miss since I found your channel couple years ago. I learnt a lot from you especially your hydrangeas series taught me so much about propagation which I did last year and they live in pots since then. This week I decided to plant in the flower bed. They make me think of you with prayers that you shall heal quicker. Regards from Malaysia ☺
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏 i am on the same journey of my rh little pinkie! three weeks in. i am looking forward to watching your other videos on your road to recovery and rehab and hopefully get some tips
I hope they help. Sorry about your injury and good luck healing. Keep your head up in the meantime.
Holy cow, Mike. Thanks goodness you didn't knock that pinky out of wack from falling down. We're all pulling for you to heal and get back to doing what you do, man. #ShellyImGonnaPassOut #ItsOnlyAPinky
Speedy recovery sir! Thank you for sharing it helps in knowing what's going on with you and in my own journey. I'm writing, "it's just a pinky." on a sticky note and putting it on my mirror so it's one of my inspirational quotes to remind me to get out of my head and out of my own way. It sounds weird, but I watch videos about things that bring me joy in my life that I can't do physically on my bad pain days. You become like a friend and these kind of life stories make you more accessable, real, and will get you more subs.
Awe, thanks. We ARE all friends here. We're just brought together by modern technology. I'm honored that you are using the "it's just a pinky" quote! By the way, you're not weird, you're human.
Mike - happy to see that the surgery is done and that everything went well. Hopefully you are a quick healer.
hope so
Oh I've been checking and checking to see how it went. Feel bad for you but glad your better now. I know that pain with my cut tendon. I gave in sooner then you. Speedy recovery Mike! Thanks for sharing. Keep us all updated please.
Thanks for checking in!
LOL-- I love love LOVE pain medication! I'm so grateful I live in a time where pain medication is abundant as I don't know how I could have had three kids without it. I don't think I could ever have thought as you did, thinking I'd be better off without pain meds. I'm glad you're in the healing stages and praying for you to get better quickly. Only happy days ahead for you, yeah!
Glad the surgery went well & it’s over. I have learned it is better to stay ahead of the pain. Don’t wait until it hurts soooo bad to take your pain meds. You might want to take pain meds before OT, so you can do the OT. Take it from someone who knows. I broke my knee & elbow at the same time. I can fly really well. I just can’t land worth a darn. The 1st time I went to PT in rehab, I was in tears in the first few minutes. Do your OT! It makes all the difference in the world in getting full use back. Prayers for your continued & complete healing. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱
What does OT mean
@@bobbrawley2612 ,
Occupational Therapy, which is focused on fine motor skills__in Mike's case, regaining use and control of his pinkie after reattatchment of tendon and nerve. 😺
I told my therapist that PT stands for Pure Torture & OT stands for Outrageous Torture. LOL
Glad surgery went well. Sending thoughts of fast healing!!!
As a nurse, you should now have great empathy for your patients. Wisdom comes from life experiences and you have now gained wisdom. Use it wisely, my friend. So happy for you that all turned out well and that your pinky wasn't as badly injured as you thought. 😊
Glad you had those moments that made you aware that sometimes you do need to let others do their best to help you and let the controle to the loved ones instead of trying to do it all by yourself. Live and learn moments are the best because that's how you grow. You were not yourself and now you're returning to be so and it will only go better from now and don't worry about the pinky as it was fully protected when you fell down as long as there was no flexing/stretching it should be just fine. Take care and the best wishes to you and your family, looking forward to see more about the plants again as well but do keep us updated how it all went/goes next wednesday ok? I do love a good ending of the #itsjustapinky ;)
Ah Mike!! Glad you are ok now after a little “spasm”! You will be an even better nurse now you know what it’s like on the other side. I had breast cancer and I found out the night before surgery I had to have a mastectomy instead of a lumpectomy after an MRI, and I was absolutely horrified and terrified. I couldn’t even bring myself to look and I just kept thinking it would look like a shark attack. The next day I started bleeding under my skin as I had a chest wall hematoma, a second surgery and then a blood transfusion. My BP was 70/40 and I think I almost died. It was sheer terror. But after it was over I felt a sort of strange calm and I appreciated my life so much more ever afterwards.
I'm sorry for your experience. I've taken care of a lot of patients after mastectomy surgery and understand the process you went through from a nursing perspective. You're a tough woman and I admire your strength.
