    I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer this year. During the surgery to remove the thyroid and cancer, it was found that the nerves for my vocal cords were going through the tumour that they had to scrape off of my trachea. The decision was made by the doctors to "sacrifice" the right nerve and to leave the left side until I could be told and make a decision about the rest. My voice has radically changed and there is a chance that I may lose it with the next surgery. Life isn't predictable. Every day we have to adapt to changes that come along. I didn't expect this, but I am keeping positive and making changes to cope. You can't go back and have a do-over in most things. Keep moving forward...that's all we can do as long as life goes on.

    I needed this video so badly. I’ve been an emotional train-wreck lately and so overwhelmed with money and life and keeping kids and animals fed it’s been a really rough year. So many unexpected obstacles. It’s almost a relief to know I’m not the only one with issues and struggles and as crappy as things get I’m really going to work my butt off to get in a better mindset and enjoy the little victories and maybe I need to stop some things or change other. I loved your song, you truly helped my mental health with this one, thank you ❤

      Hang in there - it'll get better eventually; I know the feeling, just keeping a roof over the family's head in times of financial shortage is a major stress-factor, very anxiety-inducing. Working one's butt off and still the money never seems to be enough... What helped me out of it eventually was being very blunt in asking for help; in this case, the employer, just repeating over and over again to the HR manager how stressful the constant financial pressures were, until, a few days ago only, a much-needed and long-overdue pay-rise was agreed upon. Very best wishes to you! Cute-looking pup in your picture, looks like a flock guardian dog; we have one too, they're the best, gentle family-loving giants and guardians...

    Anne I’ve watched you for about two years now, and you are one of my comfort TH-camrs and have inspired me to learn more homestead trades. My greatest fear is losing my right hand. It is my dominant hand, the hand that has guided me through some of the worst times of my life and helps me create. You are so resilient and I’m incredibly thankful to have you as a role model. Thank you

    My dad a carpenter at the age of 48 while installing windows at a clients home severed an artery and several nerves in his dominant hand it took 4 years of pig headedness and encouragement from my mum to get to use a saw again he permanently lost the use of his little finger so don’t get yourself down he went onto teach life skills to homeless people and help rehabilitate long term jobless best wishes

    Hi Anne, I have said before and I will say it again, you are one of the most driven people I know. You have astonished me your energy and drive even when you damaged your hand you pushed through and achieve more than most people with two hands. The only problem you have is letting people help and handing off problems so that others can solve then and help. Everything you do is at 120% and even now you are working at a rate most people cannot keep up with. Until I heard this song, I would have said that the word lose was not in you vocabulary and although you have used it in a song you need to look back and marvel at the amount you have achieved, you are a wonder and one of the most brilliant people I know.

    Anne, what a beautiful song and voice. You are an accomplished musician. I tore my rotator cuff in my right dominant shoulder. Had surgery, sling for 7 weeks, therapy for 5 months, and now 6 months out I’m pretty functional. But can’t lift a gallon of milk yet or kayak. Doc said a year. You are sensitive like me, the tears come easily. As you, I did a lot of reflecting, thinking, organizing - however way I could, used and abused my husband and held a broom in a way no one thought possible to sweep a floor. I understand your situation. I am a nurse, so my shoulder and arm are a necessity. I went back to work 2 months ago. Hallelujah. Give yourself time and know the healing process is in baby steps. ❤

    • @lindak3030

      My rotator cuff repair took a year to recover from, but it's been 2 years now and I'm great and can do all the things I want to. I couldn't even type and work for 2 months after surgery. You'll get there!

    One of the best TH-cam channels I've happened onto! Keep up the PT for the hand. I had a very messy shoulder reconstruction and feared I'd never play or build another guitar. After a year and a half of PT and home exercising, I got back to 99.9% use. You're an amazing spirit and this is an incredibly motivating channel.

  • @juliaturner-qi8165
    @juliaturner-qi8165 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    I can't even tell you how happy I am that I was guided towards your channel. It not only has been good about teaching me gardening things, it has made my heart feel so warm and I feel less alone. Allowing yourself to show your emotions and cry and just be real means so much. I have had my share of reinventing myself. Currently I work as an intuitive, I sing for assisted Living facilities, and I just bought 5 acres that I am trying to figure out how to grow things in soil that feels foreign to me. I also have worked many years as a birth doula and I grew up with my grandfathers sawmill being in my front yard and always following around the workers. I have always been the helper but I am now about to marry a many who uses duct tape to fix everything and so I am the one who holds the chainsaw and fixes the washer and such. I keep on saying that I want to learn how to build things. My brother owns a business in Michigan (I am in Florida) where he builds tiny homes and green houses and such. I thought about volunteering my help to either him or someone in my area to learn how to build on my own. I have a cat shack, I actually have a black and white cat who is so sweet and an orange boy too, but the cat shack needs redoing for sure. I want to be able to do it myself. I hope to be a student of yours someday soon. I hope the message isn't too all over the place and that you understand.

    I injured my dominant hand three years ago, several days before I was scheduled to start a new job. What I remember most about the first week post-injury was the worrying: about my career, whether my hand would ever be the same, how long I would be in pain, how to relearn tasks I once took for granted, whether there was anything I could do to prevent my injury from worsening, etc. Throughout the recovery process (2-3 months for me), I gradually learned to let go of the worrying and live life in the moment, appreciating my life for what it is instead of agonizing over what could have happened differently. Your video really resonated with me--thank you for sharing your takeaways and reflections. I hope this can help anyone, present or future, who is undergoing their own recovery process.

      Anne, Love your channel! I lost use of my left arm/leg at the age of 52 due to a brain hemorrhage. In 2.5 years since the strokeThere is not much I can’t do one handed. you just have to persevere and figure things out, I still do wiring plumbing, use a chainsaw, do brake jobs, repair the tractors, excavators and other equipment on out homestead. If anyone can do this it’s you. The fact that you only lost fingers /grip means you can still do a lot! Oh an not feeling things is indeed weird but you get used to it just be careful with temperature events eg fires, welding etc. I have burned my hand and foot and never felt either of them when it occurred..You got this because like me you have the right attitude and staying positive with a can-do attitude will get you through this.

    • @jessehachey2732
      @jessehachey2732 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@rccollins8160 I absolutely ❤ LOVE your attitude and energy! SO many people wallow over the past, and what they can’t control or change, following a serious injury/loss of use/function of limbs. They’re usually the ones who don’t adapt or thrive very well too. Young 🇨🇦 vet, paraplegic here along with losing finger function in most of my dominant hand, wheelchair 🦽 user, and if I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard “oh I could never do it, must be awful, I’d rather die than dealing with no working legs” (as in, newsflash, you don’t got much choice)🥴 It’s almost as if people can’t fathom people with serious disability how one can function or even have a quality of life, much less contribute to society. And. That attitude has implications too, I’ve known families of recently injured quadriplegics pull them off life support in the ICU, not because it wasn’t survivable, but because they couldn’t imagine them having any life quality 😢 Which is SO wrong. Plenty live independently, have careers, families, etc. also perpetuates the idea commonly held that we can’t do things on our own. I routinely have strangers be baffled that I can even drive (SUV modified with hand controls - when I went to bank to buy SUV, teller asked for ID, assumed I couldn’t possibly have a drivers license 🤦🏼‍♂️). Strangers will often congratulate me for getting out of my truck, doing my own groceries, gets annoying real quick *sigh*. Even had nurses (who should know better) assume I lived with my parents (in my mid 30s!! 🙄). It’s almost…condescending? Like y’all, it isn’t the 1900s anymore, we’ve evolved, as has technology. I have an ultra light fully custom titanium wheelchair that moves with my body, it’s easy as pie to push. People have tried to say “omg so sorry”, like why? I’m doing perfectly fine, don’t want or need your pity. There’s nothing to pity! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Besides, whenever I find myself in a really long line up at a store for instance, I have brought my own chair to sit in and relax, can wait hours if need be 😂 It has perks 🤷🏼‍♂️
      Some people honestly think we disabled folks sit at home always and have caregivers do everything for us…nah I live independently, had to relearn how to do everything differently of course, but it’s doable! Even renovating my washroom to be fully wheelchair accessible almost entirely on my own! Sure, it took 3X as long, and I only had to ask for help replacing the toilet (as I obviously couldn’t lift it as I weigh 95lbs soaking wet too, lol!) and some help putting up grab bars in my new roll-in shower, did all the tiling, 2x4s in the walls, plumbing, lighting, etc myself. Not that I had much choice, living alone and single ha and on a small budget. For the curious, I did spend extra on cordless tools, so avoid the unsafe issue of cords getting caught in my wheels/me getting tangled up in cords as I crawled around with construction materials ha. Small things able-bodied people probably don’t have to consider. Saved me plenty broken tiles heheh!
      Some people sadly, internalize, or are raised/ taught that they’re not capable of doing things for themselves too, it’s harmful attitudes, my paraplegic cousin with Spina-Bifida was one of those, raised by her parents doing everything for her, never worked a day in her life, had a power wheelchair because she found it too hard to push herself at all (with two perfectly working arms, SMH) and always had that entitled attitude that everyone should do things for her and give her money, quite sad. I recall a coworker also with Spina-Bifida being even worse, would ask coworkers in this cringe whiney voice to go fill her water bottle at the water cooler…she had a power chair and perfectly working arms, she didn’t even have to push her wheelchair there FFS! Coworkers would say no and ask her “what’s wrong with your arms?” 😂 They had no time or patience for that hahah! She was very much one to milk the system, her plan if she was fired? Go on provincial/government disability and sit at home getting everything for free (as she’d done many times before)🤦🏼‍♂️ Y’know the type ugh…
      And heck, walking isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be IMHO, you can function perfectly fine without legs/without an arm (or both, albeit with more difficulty, but not impossible!) And without most of your fingers…speech to text software is a common thing these days. Of course, it may require a career change, as it did for me, medically retired from the military, but I still worked at National Def HQ 2 years from my wheelchair doing translation and logistics so 🤷🏼‍♂️ And I think I changed attitudes too, worked with the career managers and those making policies on medical release saw me and changed their views, because shortly after working for them while I was zipping around NDHQ in my green wheelchair? More lax policies came out, allowing soldiers with amputations to remain in the military (whereas previously, it was automatic release). But yeh, walking ain’t all it’s cracked up to be IMHO, if you offered me the option of regaining function of internal organs (because neurological injuries do affect internal organs muscles such as bladder and bowels), OR walking? I’d say heck with walking, because honestly my only significant issue is the chronic infections that inevitably come with needing to use catheters and medical devices, I’d gladly do without that ha 😅 My life is perfectly fine with 25” wheels on each side of my arse 😂 I think people project their lack of knowledge onto us, because the concept is so alien to them (probably the same type of people that would see being paralyzed as catastrophically life-ending when it’s not). Go figure.
      But yeah, all that to say, your attitude and outlook is so refreshing to see! I was starting to feel like an outlier having met so many disabled folks with cringey, awful attitudes, and able-bodied folks who don’t see us as capable of self- agency, of accomplishing anything or incapable of contributing to society. Of course, that may be lingering misconceptions rooted in the early days where folks would be institutionalized, but still. Nice to see someone with drive, who adapted and overcame! 😉❤

    This video has reminded me there will always be hurdles to master. My life was turned upside down nearly 2 years ago when my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I have had to sell most my goats and some cows, as well as down size my birds so I could spend more time careing for him. It all make us pause and give thought to what is important...i still have my homestead dreams. I just have to reevaluate the important parts and as youbstated..use this time to clean not just the farm and barn but my home and my mind. My husband has entered hospice, and we dont have much more time together. So i clean and plan how to do our dream different. Prayers for full recovery of your hand....

    I can truly sympathize. It was a dog bite for me. My left hand has 6 puncture wounds, 4 of them between my thumb and index finger. The damage ended my leatherworking hobby as I can no longer grip a stitching needle or hold tooling stamps. I have the same nerve damage, but it's the side of my index finger that I can't feel. I wish you the very best recovery and hope you are eventually able to regain full use of your hand.

You’re by far the most educational with the fun and that’s what makes learning easy, it’s the fun part. Just like taking that time to rest. Lovely to have algorithms find you. Feeling blessed today and not stressed with my soil learning. My great grandmother gave me the green thumb and I’m on my 3rd garden. Soil is my main struggle but last year I bared fruits of my labor and this year I’m super stoked!!! Thank you so much for all you do. I would love to attend your school. ❤

    You are amazing. I someone who was faced with a debilitating disease and handled things all wrong, it's amazing to watch someone handle everything the right way. I have made it but my life will never be what I wanted because I just kept my head down and plowed forward making my goal in life to "beat" the disease. While I beat it, I wasted so much and didn't progress smartly. As a result I will never retire and will never have the life I wanted. It is amazing to see what you are doing. Keep up with the path you have chosen. You are doing amazing things!

    What tour learning through these challenges is the very thing that equips you for the real goals in life. Sharing that with others going through the same is priceless! We have to always remember what we build alone can't function without us or a plan. But we are far more than hands and feet.

    I'm sorry to hear about your injury. It is hard to have serious injuries. And you hit it on the head when you said, "if this had happened 3 years ago, it would have drastically altered my life." It's important to realize things like the "lucky" timing.
    You also are fortunate to have good insurance & access to top notch care, and a beautiful place/life that you and your spouse have built to convalesce.
    I have bilateral torn rotator cuffs, wrists & hands as well as other injuries head to toe. I worked with horses all my life, not a wealthy kid, I started with shovelling manure.
    My injuries also had nothing to do with my heavy yet joyful labor. They also occured as I was trying to save for a little horse farm. (I started with a piggy bank when I was ten year old.)
    I think about the too, too many that do not have insurance who do heavy labor just to get by, feed their families, etc. An injury costs them ALL & what little they have very, very quickly.
    Medical bills & illness/catastrophic injuries are a major reason for people becoming unhoused.
    I met a beautiful ballerina at a doctor's office, confined to a scooter at the age of 26 because of a hit & run while she was crossing the street.
    So, my modest life turned upside down, scant insurance, medical bills piling up, I think of others struggling. I also think of you and all the beauty you bring to the world with your hands.
    So, so lucky this happened with the amazing medical advances, like nerve grafting.
    With all you have accomplished, I KNOW you will come out the other side of this!

    My husband had his bicep muscle pulled down after a waterskiing accident years ago. His doctor told him to stop playing his guitar and using that arm. He didn’t listen and regained almost full control of his hand and strength. He never gave up or quit. Keep pushing forward and I just love your content. I would love to do the same concept as you with starting a school for trades but offer it to those forgotten about or lost in the system.

      Hi, Anne! This
      is the first time I've commented on any TH-cam videos! I've been following you for awhile. I too picked up a guitar early and still play @ 72! Back when I was 28 years old I broke my right Radial head
      I am a right handed carpenter. After a lot of PT, I was able to build a log house.
      After completion the country was in a construction slump !
      I accepted work as a maintenance man in a then twenty years old Mall. Long story short I'm retired after forty years of working there.
      Life is what happens while making other plans. I hope for the best for You.
      I appreciate your determination, & trust it will get You a long way on your journey.
      Thank You for sharing 🎉
