Whats been going on, It aint been good !

Middle of October I ended up taking a ride in the ambulance to the hospital and finding out I have kidney stones. Sorry for no video's in the last week but I just haven't felt that good. Lots of pain and all the meds make you really tired to say the least . Wednesday the 13th I go back to have a the stent taken out and a new one put in and they are going to take more stones out. I'm going to have a talk with the doctor and really get to the bottom of whats going on cause I really don't know myself, I got more questions than answers . But I really hope Wednesday will be the last procedure and I get rid of these stones once and for all cause this is getting old ! Its been 3 weeks to dealing with these and I'm tired of this and have other things I really need to get done. I've been doing what the doc says to do cause I really don't like pain ! I will get better and get back at it but for now just hang in there with me till I get to feeling better and back to normal again. Thank You Guys for your understanding. Bandit

Hey Don, thanks for keeping us updates. Your viewers, especially your fellow farmers like me, do care. I literally feel your pain, as I had a small kidney stone this past winter. Went to the emergency room. Couldn’t stand, sit, lay down, just no way to get comfortable. And mine was a small one that passed by itself in 1 day. So I sympathize with you. You WILL get better. Charlie

[@super6954]

Sorry to hear you aren't doing good, it was 2 years the 8th November I had mine appear while driving the tractor. I kinda got lucky and haven't had any since, but man I know what hurt is, i've had some pretty bad injuries .But after that I'm thinking I know what having a truck load of gravel dumped on a guy, then having a loader spread it and dump 2 more loads on and repeat probably feels like for pain if it don't kill you first ! Hopefully they figure out what kind they are and you can change your diet to stop them, i started researching and found one diet that stops one type might cause them if they are the other ones you get. It's not as simple as eat or drink more or less of something and it cures all of them the same. Hope you get feelin better soon, Take care.

[@jeffhill9061]

Hope you feel better soon my friend. Being sick and trying to farm is no fun. I've done it and know exactly how you feel. Keep your chin up, brighter days are ahead.

[@bryanblood7063]

Hey man hope you feel better I've seen 2 people go through what you have I couldn't imagine the stress not only with the physical side effects from the kidney stones. But I know from experience not from kidney stones but as a farmer not being at 100 percent healthy not feeling like doing anything. Because your so use to doing everything from morning till night. Not being able to do chores that need done stinks. I hope you feel better but take it easy cause you can make it an un speedy recovery. I live in Michigan just put my snowplow on my truck today were supposed to get 4 to 6in tomorrow.

[@brianwebber7168]

Feel better. I was lucky to painfully pass mine. Had to give up iced tea .

[@SchnelleKat]

Sorry to hear Bandit, Hope everything passes on Gods speed & you can get back to yourself. P.s Great to hear! Winter wheat is planted yay!

[@Abritinluzon]

[@markeholbrook]

Yeah, Kidney stones are well known for causing great pain. So is appendicitis. And both run in my dads family. He had his oldest brother die from appendicitis, and four other siblings got it. I got it last year, so that threat is now gone along with my appendix. But I worry about getting kidney stones. I wish you well my friend.

[@jerryhill681]

I have problems with kidney stones too but not as bad as you so I know where you are coming from. Hang in there Buddy.

[@hmmv4]

My sister is having surgery to remove kidney stones this week,

[@gefarmsemery2773]

Hang in there. I know your pain had six stones n I'm only 29

[@mackmackallthewayback69]

Stones are no fun in a combine or kidneys! Severe low back pain is awful. Gave me FlowMax and non stop water consumption.

[@raydebenham8598]

Hi there I was sorry to hear about you having a Kidney Stones I know how painful these can be because I have had this for many years I farm over in England and as soon as I get on tractor and do any amount of fieldwork the back pain increases and I would be passing blood in my urine all the time medical people will have me in hospital To remove stones just the same as you So about a year ago I started thinking what could I do myself like you have tried diet that was suggested and that was just not enough energy in that type of food to keep me working My conclusion was that I must try to alter body acidity level to increase which I felt might dissolve the stones Well you will be pleased to hear it is possible I have managed to dissolve the stones and steadily they are now coming out and disappearing from my kidneys when I go for an ultrasound to say the least the hospital is somewhat surprised that I am managing to do this The solution is apple cider vinegar A pint glass of cold water with about I tablespoon full of Apple cider vinegar I keep this in the fridge every time I go to the fridge I take a couple of mouthfuls or as much as one wants to drink and just diddly keep getting through about a pint and ahalf per day if you can increase the vinegar content it may taste pretty rough at the beginning but after a while the pain relief is so good you don’t mind the taste Also I have been using squeezed fresh lemon juice about two lemons per day into cold water If you need more information just leave some comments and I’ll come back to you From a much more comfortable farmer in Suffolk England Good luck hope you feel better if you give it a try it will take about three days before you start to feel an improvement 😊

[@chesterdubois9232]

Hope you get feeling better do you plan on baling the straw

[@larsonvalleyfarm]

Stones dont sound like fun

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Get better your health is more important than videos

[@banditfarmer1900]

Taken today Sunday 11-10-19 . Well Sorry for the last week with no video's I just haven't felt that good because of having kidney stones. Its been sense about the 15th of October I've been dealing with these and its no fun ! I've been spending a lot of time on the couch taking it easy and doing what the doc says and taking my meds and I really hope Wednesday is the last time I have to go in to have a procedure done and the stones are gone for good. But for now I'm taking it easy and taking my meds and doing what the doc says and I really hope to be over this soon, I'm really tired of all this and the pain. Thank You guys for your understanding at this time, I hope to get over this soon and get back to normal and posting video's again like normal. I really have lots of videos to put up but I haven't felt good enough to do work on them. Bandit

[@kemmer84]

Hang in there Bandit. Get well soon, don’t worry about the videos, that can come after you get well. God bless
