Aunt Flossie BROKE my Nose

[@honeycaffena4897]

Just a note- please put a sturdy screen on the pond drain 😮 there has been people sucked into drains. 😢 your children are beautiful & lovely.

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

Yes, delta ∆ is no joke

[@OssoLily-ix5vz]

Yes, it happened in our town to a little boy, after a storm, last year!

[@patricialynnmoore]

I recognize this life lesson. I have seen it so many times in my life. It goes something like this….”time to slow down, rest, relax and recover.” I started saying each morning when I wake up, “God, I need Your help.” I place my whole day in God’s hands and let it go. When I was homeless, I had not a word, thought or prayer left in me. The only thing that came out of me one night was, “I surrender.” These are the simple, on going conversations God wants to hear from us, our humility that touches His heart deeply. Be well dearest friends. 😌

[@WillowsDream]

Justin you need to talk to Jess & Miah about getting one of those anti-kick bars for your cows like they have.

[@stormy1363]

Excellent editing on this video! Showing the kick (so sorry about your broken nose) and then doing the flash back to the beginning of the day, watching all of the events of the morning go awry, and building up to the kick, was storytelling at its finest! I could hardly watch! 🫣 Praying for health and healing for the Rhodes family!

[@martharock8377]

Jeremiah and Jess have an implement that goes over the cow's hips to keep it from kicking.

[@shepherdhavenhomestead]

"I just feel like I'm going to vomit, cause I can't look at you." the words every husband longs to hear. Sorry Justin for the nose kick. Ya know a hockey player would have kept going. 🤣

[@ironleatherwood]

Maybe consider not asking your oldest son to do anything dangerous. New hip! God bless your family

[@robbiedejonge8613]

I actually believe that this was filmed before he had surgery. If you look at the way he is walking I can tell you from personal experience having both hips replaced he would be walking taller.

[@ironleatherwood]

@robbiedejonge8613 thanks, you maybe correct.

[@sandrawestley4193]

He has t had his hips done yet, in this video he’s still all lop sided. For some reason I thought is was the 15 th July but perhaps I’ve got that wrong. But Justin just mentioned it was the 4 th of July soon and they would have fireworks, so the videos are a least a week behind time, it takes time to edit and up load a video you cannot just film and hey presto it’s done.

[@birdlady5632]

Josiah you need to build a tripod stand for that launcher.

[@1994abbygirl]

Is there a reason why that cow wasn't hobbled? Imagine if it had been one of the kids! it always amazes me the chances homesteaders take!

[@dgmills5351]

I'm sending lots of prayers for Becky, Henry, Jonah, and You Justin to heal quickly and completely! 🙏🏻🤗😇❣️ I think after they kicking incident there would be a bunch of roasts, steaks, and burger in my freezer! Thankfully the kids were not kicked by the cow. Your Home is coming along fantastic!

[@AngiesPantry58]

I agree.

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

Oh no! I am so sorry for your poor nose! Praising God that it wasn't your eyes or mouth. Praying for your nose to heal so that you have no problems with breathing thru it. Continued prayers for Jonah's healing, and as always prayers for blessings for your family!

[@lucymcturner1858]

Justin I’ve broke my nose twice and when the swelling went down I put my hands on both side of my nose to straighten it back into place. Worked both times. No doctor needed. You can actually hear it pop back into place 👃👍🏼

[@janelleb8274]

Rebecca!! -->Before they start putting up interior walls.....go thru with a tape measure and tape out (on the floor) where you planned for all your walls to be. Be VERY accurate in your measurements and leave the correct amount of space that walls will take up (remember there will be the wood, and sheet rock). With the shape of your house, if you get "off" on your measuring at on end....it will cause you to be a lot off at the other end. Since you are feeling unsure about your plans, please do this before they start building walls. We had this happen to us because of bad measuring by our architect during a build. We didn't find out until the "other end" and it was too late to fix most of it....we just had to adjust and room sizes ended up different than we planned.

[@pvtbuddie]

(bump)

[@wuzguna]

I feel bad for the sense of relief I felt once I realized it wasn't Flossie's nose that was broken. Get well soon Justin, you're the man.

[@brothernorb8586]

Y'all are accomplishing amazing things. I'm so grateful to be a small part.

[@violetraal5383]

Justin, Miah from Roots and Refuge uses a 'No Kick Bar' on his cows that puts pressure on the nerve that, in turn, prevents the kicking. It might be safer for the kids milking.

[@belieftransformation]

Hope everyone is healing well; that’s a bad turn of events! Glad the house roof will be on soon; it’s going fast now! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦

[@jpennturner]

[@meadowlarkfarmanddairy-gil5831]

Same, it’s simple and not painful to the cow. Safety first.

[@shelleypoole6415]

Glad it was not too serious and the children were not involved. I’d buy a hockey mask with a cage around the eyes and jaws. I hope Jonah is feeling better. I hope his back is getting straighter as this video showed him with a huge curve, compensating his hip. Poor guy. ❤️ Hope everyone is feeling good and Grandma is doing good.

[@dixsigns1717]

Glad you got care, that could cause you breathing problems for the rest of your life. Hindsight is always 20/20. I grew up on a 280-acre farm in Oceola, Mo. Prayers, for all!

[@mmegraham]

Bob the Builder to the rescue!! Oh, that brought me back to about 20 years ago, with my tiny chiddlers. I'm glad you went to the doc, Justin.

[@birgitelisabeth9661]

You did the right thing by having it looked at. I see that they also did a CT scan. Any impact to the head can be very serious. Becca was also right in insisting to see a doctor right away, before the break heals, to avoid any potential breathing problems in the future, in addition to the cosmetic reasons.

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

[@jae878]

I had the same thing happen back in the winter except mine was bleeding inside and out and both of my lips were fat. I milk with a milking machine and was done milking her and when I disconnected the vacuum hose from the cluster like I had many times before, but for what ever reason it spooked her that time and she kicked me straight in the face. Ever since then I’ve been worried about your kids milking your cows. Sorry that happened to you but I’m like you and glad it wasn’t one of your kids. Thanks for sharing. Hope you all are well soon.

[@tigar0485]

Flossy told you, "I'm uncomfortable. " ... she's not thinking about "Ha! I showed him!" She's a sweety and chores were out of whack. Take the chainsaw helmet if you decide to milk her again?

[@estyria777]

If it's any comfort, hubby's nose was broken in college and healed just fine without needing to see anybody. It's a tiny bit crooked, but it just adds to his rugged good looks. Sucks you got hit though. Hope it's not too painful. Edit to add, don't waste your energy blaming yourself. You do the best you can with the information you have at the time, and that's all any of us can do.

[@allonesame6467]

It's fly season, she's in the sun🌞 and cows swat at flies with their hooves. Make essential oil fly repellent and wipe her down before milking. My grandma always put a pair of chains on the cow's hind legs. She called them cow kickers. They prevent the cow from accidentally kicking you in the face. Still available and they are humane.

[@samanthahambright7933]

Hobbles nice pair sheep lined leather ones might work. Mostly used for horses who kick while in trailer transport. Ive seen hobbles sometime used to stop kicking during trailer transport. A buddy sour horse will begin kicking in trailer when leaving an animal friend. Which can be dangerous by swaying trailer also could injure themselves or cause an accident. Safe gentle method is to use Soft Fluffy sheep skin lined hobbles during transport. Might work for milking. I suggest use fly spray or a rag full of coconut oil on her as it was flys for sure annoying her not any of you. God Bless❤

[@allonesame6467]

@@samanthahambright7933 Yes! My grandma always wiped down her cows before milking to increase their comfort from flies. Essential Oil fly spray recipes are easy to make and apply.

[@Idontknow-ly9bu]

I didn't watch for a bit now but not more than half a year but.. wow, the change of pitch in their voices. So cool!

[@HeatherNaturaly]

If you had some Arnica oil, you could put a compress on the nose and the swelling would go down really fast. Once you know if it needs adjusting or not, you can do the same with a comfrey poultice. It's not called 'knit bone' for nothing..

[@elainefarr3155]

Man, you guys have had some rough times recently, so sorry. I hope you are all healing well. The house is looking amazing! I broke my nose in a bad bike wreck at 14, and my old country doctor looked at it, grabbed something off his utensil table and literally yanked my nose back into place! It felt like an explosion, hurt like crazy but healed well. A few years later my sister broke her nose and Mom took her to a specialist for surgery, and she had way more problems than I had with the 'old fashioned' method . Hopefully you have a better experience. Take care!

[@nicklocicero3974]

My brother in law broke his nose when he was a kid. ER Dr made sure my wife and mother in law were standing on either side of him grabbed his nose and straightened it. My wife would have thrown up and passed out except she was too busy holding up her brother. 😂 Not sure what is the better way but hope it works out for Justin. Amazing how things come at you all at the same time. Hang in there Rhodes family.

That's sad; beckys physicians should have told her the truth, mastitus is caused by care of the breast while breast feeding; keeping breasts clean enough, before and after feeding the baby, older breast feeing mommys knows; mastitus caused canker sours in the babies mouth; (Thrush) not the baby giving her an infection... She gave it to him... :( things happen to the best of people; blame only causes bad thoughts and feelings!

It makes me wonder how someone can be so resourceful and self reliant , finding one's own solutions to farming , homesteading, farm animals and equipment rather than look to the industry to sell it, say it doesn't exist or say wait, but when it comes to the body, one takes whatever some cut-and-drugs practitioner says waiting on them like the messiah , when there's a whole world of self-care waiting via web search that is powerful and effective to heal.
