[@petyshaw3643]

Prayers for quick healing, pain-free rehab sessions, and a healthy future.

[@OurIntrovertedHomestead]

What a blessing to see Ben! God is taking care of you, and making sure that you're whole...I'm still praying for you all!

[@glendamcilvaine5746]

Praying for Ben. My husband had rotator cuff reattachment and repair surgery in April. Very painful intense surgery but he is improving. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's great seeing both of you with smiles.

[@pamelam1961]

Thank the Lord Ben's heading upward health wise. He has you both in his hands. We serve the most awesome, good God!

[@jenniferrescott1149]

I liked that bucket got full anology.. very simple. I pray Ben keeps improving and all is well with your family❤

[@jeanburgin160]

Good to see Ben out with you. All the best to you all. God Bless.

[@diannaboffer7706]

So glad everything is good with Ben, you and the farm. Stay Blessed y'all 😊

[@storiesinstones]

Yes, Ben shoulder PT is painful! Going through it myself right now. But the gains are worth it! Keep up with your home plan too!

[@debsblue6426]

Andrea and Ben, I can totally relate to your story. Like Ben, I thought I was having a heart attack or anxiety. Had my husband take me to the ER at 3 or 4 o'clock in am 6 months or so ago. Realized when I was sitting on side of hospital bed it must be esophageal spasms. As I am a nurse and we make some of the worse patients...I felt foolish being there only to give myself grace cause what I have advised for over 27 years is if you suspect cardiac or something doesn't feel right (our body tells us if we would just listen) don't waste valuable time. Get to the ER. Glad all is going well for you empty nester 😊. Hope to come you way someday. Love all your insightful knowledge

[@Lydia1914]

So happy to see our sweet Ben and you taking a walk on such beautiful day. So glad he's on the mend and You 2 can still make beautiful memories together. Love you both. Much love from Southern Maryland Margie, Eddie and Colleen Guy "Hanging With The Guys"

[@timmathewson3910]

Good to see you have a sense of humor after all you have gone through this year. May God bless you the remainder of this year.

[@joycebailey8724]

So glad to know Ben is doing better. Thank you Mrs. Andrea for all you show us. Your so honest with viewers, and that's thats we want, honesty. Thank you again for sharing yours and Ben's life with us.

[@4windsfarmstead]

At 73 I agree with you we should have taken care of ourselves when we were younger. Paying for it now. But with God our strength is renewed in the morning 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@alisonhallock7870]

I will be praying for quick healing. Congratulations on employee of the week Ben! Oh Andrea I feel you with when the kids move out. It’s not easy but you find new things to keep busy

[@chasingmoonlightfarm]

SO thankful his heart is healthy! ❤ I've dealt with those symptoms MULTIPLE times...not my heart...stress. Praying for you guys!

[@MargieWolff]

Good to see you guys out walking across your acres. -.I remember that from growing up days decades ago and, maybe, I'll be doing it again..

[@sheriherring1239]

I'm so glad y'all are doing okay. Sorry Ben had to endure all this pain and misery. Glad you are ok as a family. This season will go away and life will slow down and be better soon.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Andrea, and Ben, Y'all have had a lot of stress (good stress). Stress does a number on our bodies. My husband, and I are happy to hear Ben's heart is solid as a rock with no issues. Ben you, and my husband have simular issues. Hubby is a disabled veteran. He's had what he thought was a heart attack, we rushed to the ER. Had all the heart tests, doc thought he seen something. The doctor did a angioplasty, the results, hubby has a solid as a rock heart (no heart attack). He had an ischemia of the heart. The blood pressure medication he put on depleted his potassium levels which caused all the symptoms of a heart attack. They put him on potassium pills, and changed blood pressure meds. He's all good, and the heart is A okay. My husband went through the exact surgery you did with the shoulder. He recommends you do all the physical therapy because it will help your arm/shoulder immensley. There will be pain however, you can get through the pain to have a better arm in the end. You want the shoulder to heal properly, the PT helps do that. Needles in your back, can help. Both my husband, and I have gone through the needles. My husband has had the needles multiple times. He's also had back surgeries, and will need more. If you have questions on the procedures, PT, or needles he could try to talk you through any concerns. If you want to talk to someone who has gone through similar procedures/surgery just have Andrea drop me her email address, and I can provide our phone number. Andrea, were all this way regarding taking care of everything else. We put our physical, and medical on the back burner and take care of everything else first.

[@diannerichard2509]

Sounds like you and your husband have been through a lot as well. My prayers go out to you, your husband, Ben and Andrea and families

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Hang in there Ben. Better days are ahead.😊

[@vidginialambert2392]

GOD IS GOOD, HE NEVER LEAVES US, HES RIGHT ON TIME. GOD Bless ya'll ,we love ya'll.

[@patwilliamson4701]

What a blessing!❤

[@gingerkirby8208]

I have GERD and my worst esophageal spasms come under severe stress. It's so important to learn how to tell the difference between that and something cardiac related because I also have a stent.

[@freedomridermorty4459]

Im glad your alive and well. Question for Ben ? What's the most painful recovery after surgery ? Mine was tearing both Rotator Cuffs and the one year recovery only to tear Again. At 63 years old I'll live with the pain. God Bless 🙏

[@WendyLKoc]

Praying for y'all and God is going to take care of you both! Being healthy is very important for sure. God bless.

[@gelwood99]

I agree, once you meet your deductible then have it all done! That said I had a total hip replacement and I thought it was going to be the worst, I can't take anything codeine because it makes me have projectile vomiting so all that class of drugs was off the table for controlling my pain levels, and boy was I surprised when I managed the pain with Tylenol and Motrin. I had no pain with that recovery at all, even the therapy was easy. So since I had met my deductible I decided to go ahead and take care of my torn rotator cuff and bicep tear. That surgery was the most painful I had ever endured, I had morphine pills to take and they didn't touch it after the nerve block wore off. I only slept when I passed out from the pain. thankfully the pain only lasted for 3 1/2 days. The therapy was ridiculously painful too. Ben, I do understand what you are going through!!! After all that we decided to start eating clean, ketoviore, no grains/gluten, no seed oils, no sugar, no GMO, low carb veggies, high amounts of all meats, high animal fats, butter, and heavy cream, cooking everything from scratch and after 18 months we have lost a total of 200 pounds, I lost 70 and the hubs lost 130, I went from 2X to a small and he went from a 44 waist to a 34, best of all we both now take no prescription at all. We were both A1C of 6.5 and now 5.1, we have the cleanest bloodwork ever and he feels fabulous and I do as much as my SI joints allow ( the one thing that clean eating hasn't fixed is the tight Siatic joint pain that makes my legs numb after standing too long) I even have remotion arthritis that I no longer take meds for. On top of all that I am 70 and the hubs is 65, not bad for old farts! Love ya'll!!!

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey y'all, That sinus surgery is no joke. I have had more than 8 major orthopedic surgeries. When I had the sinus surgery it was a bit painful and I finally got to go get the packing out and I was excited. THEN he started to pull and OMG my body levitated right off of the table and I think he was pulling for hours and hours and took miles of stuff out of my head through the nose. I am thinking how the hell did Michael Jackson have all those nose surgeries. I am so glad it was not a cardiac event. The bucket analogy works two ways one is the way you describe the bucket over flowing from just too much input. Life can really get out of control when you are in this situation. WE ALL need to listen to our bodies because the body will revolt. The other part of the bucket analogy is letting your bucket run dry. Doing too much for others and not enuf for yourself. You need to schedule times to do an activity, a hobby or recreation to help you feel better get socialized with family and friends. Good luck on the physical therapy. God bless y'all be safe, Steven

Physical therapy is the only way to go. I’ve been through it many times and it’s actually held me each time painful but it works.

You guys are great ! So cute together.

[@dianaorcutt2442]

I'm so glad he is doing better. Our pastures are dead here in NWA. We have had little to no rain. Andrea, you both should go carnivore . Before I went carnivore, my whole body was inflamed. And now I feel better than I have in my life. I just turned 60.

[@TheTinkerersWife]

That's quite a pileup of all the things going on. I enjoyed the self dedicating humor Andrea. Next time I need someone to freak out with, I'll give you a call. 😅 Thanks for taking us on your walk.

[@laurieweideman9607]

Thank the Lord!

[@loreligavroy9072]

God is so good always!I've had many spams of the stomach &up. And surgery on my left arm and headed to get the right done soon. So I feel all of your pain. Take one day at a time, and trust in the Lord, that he'Lloyd give you what you need for that day.your in his hands, blessings to you both.

My family has been through a lot this last two years medically also. I get this. Do you all take a probiotic? That I think has help us a lot when we do have to take pain meds. Plus miralax. 😊

[@alamryfarms754]

Last year my hubby had disc replacement, and both rotator cuffs fixed. We started February with an Afib scare and then advised our 20 year old that she needed to get both feet operated on since we met all the deductibles and maxes that we had been holding off on. I had pain in my hand and after months of trying things I just had 2 discs replaced and 3 vertebrae fused in my neck. I’m hoping 2025 is a quiet medical year. 😂

[@freedomridermorty4459]

​@@alamryfarms754 Good Lord !! I hope 2025 treat's you better. I had both Rotator Cuff surgeries and now I have another tear ! At 63 years old I'll learn to live with the pain. God Bless 🙏

[@alamryfarms754]

@@freedomridermorty4459 thank you! Yes, my hubs said he’s glad he did it but it was a long recovery and likely won’t do it again. We are in our 50s.
