My momma taught me never to laugh at another person's misfortune but, Lord help me, I couldn't help myself...you're right, Lester, it's NOT funny, but it IS comical...best wishes for a quick recovery!!! It's also nice that Jami has ANOTHER Lester, "I told you so" story!!!
Haha! I want to be clear I never ever laugh at anyone who has a serious issue… but Lester doesn’t count here. I love him and I laugh with him- lol we all do.
@@FromSuitstoBoots It really was an act of love...not everyone loves their spouse enough to bail them out of a predicament into which they put themselves...the love between the two of you makes it OK for us - "the fam" - to laugh WITH Lester every time you bail him out...
Tractors are much easier to run these days than in the past. I revoked my hubbies tractor rights after he hit things or broke things every time he got on it. Haha. Jami is great!

I thought it was such a hoot when Lester said “I should have driven the other truck” instead of I should have had Jamie go with me …all while sitting in the bucket of the tractor that Jamie had brilliantly used to solve the mobility issue! I’m still smiling and laughing!
As a nurse I was cringing when Jake basically lifted Lester up, I was thinking “ on no your going to hurt you back”. Very clever Jamie, shows how smart woman are and how stubborn men can be, and I say that with love Lester. Hope you rest and let your knees recover. Blessings💕
@@bubgum00 yes, that if you have bad legs, knees, ankles or feet, you MUST, MUST, MUST, at very least, invest in a walker and a cane. One trip or fall could be debilitating!! Now, however, we see that even treatment can be debilitating. poor Lester. Pride/ego is how even smart people can be dumb.
Jake is such a blessing to this family! Uncle Dan did a wonderful job raising such a great young man. Jake is the one guy who will drop everything to help a family member. I remember Paw Paw calling Jake to come out to some highway to change a tire for him and GiGi. Now he goes to follow Lester home because he was called for. Jami I sure hope that the next drs visit that Lester has he swallows his pride and that you go with him. Jami you did a great job thinking on the fly to use the tractor! I’ve watched this now like 4 times! The cast of characters just doesn’t get any better!
That was an excellent idea Jamie! He's a big guy and the tractor was by far the safest and easiest way to handle this. The tractor is a farm version of a Hoyer Lift. If he ever has a total knee replacement done the tractor will be needed again to get him in the house to avoid the stairs. Great job Jamie!
Only outside though, would a tractor work unless their house was remodeled. Hope he doesn’t have to have knee replacement surgery because he would have to do it one knee at a time and 3 months apart. If both are done he would be referred to a extended care hospital or nursing so he would get physical therapy. I know because I was a nurse and chose the first option and did my own physical therapy after my second knee (I didn’t like the therapist as he would only stay 30 minutes and then leave).
@@gwenmiller9270 I’m an RN of 33 years and have had a total knee replacement myself. I know some people get both total knee replacements at the same time, but I don’t recommend that. Trust me, during recovery it makes a world of difference to have one non-surgical leg that’s full weight bearing. Even if the 2nd knee needs surgery too, the non-surgical knee is very helpful to assist in recovery. And - there is no way to be discharged to home if you get both knees done at the same time. You’re looking at being admitted to a skilled bed for Physical Therapy (PT) after hospital discharge. If you have someone to drive you to Outpatient Therapy that’s a great option so you have access to equipment that aids in recovery - it really progressed my recovery quickly to full range of motion and weight bearing. Lester, if you need total knee replacements in the future I’d recommend having a ramp built for easy access to your home. The ramp also helps as people age because steps become a barrier to your own home. Other safety measures such as grab bars for the shower may be needed as well. Lester, you’re a lucky guy, you have Jamie. With her background I’m sure she’ll take all the necessary measures to assist in your safety and recovery. The tractor was a genius idea Jamie! It got the job done and kept everyone safe - no falls and no back injuries.
Okay so I lost my dad 3 yrs ago yesterday to a battle with cancer. My dad was absolutely hilarious and also struggled with medical issues for as long as I can remember. Some of our funniest moments are when my mom and I were helping him through his struggles and he would never fail to make us laugh in uncomfortable situations or times we were genuinely afraid for him. My dad would always do it his way which included driving after appts he definitely shouldn't have, not accepting numbing for procedures etc. We would all laugh later when he would retell stories but some things were very difficult witness. I miss him, the feeling of security and always feeling like I fit in when I went home. If I were ever transplanted somewhere else, I'd pray to land where your family is because you're all so special. The humour you bring while dealing with real life issues is cathartic to watch. Thank you for sharing your very real lives with us. This video had me laughing for so many different reasons. Hope your knees are feeling better Les! Also Jake is an absolute blessing to this world. Take care fam! Tiffany
once again, jamie, you've given us a great giggle with your commentary, especially when you got him to do the bucket drop onto your porch! You are so darn funny, and you (all) make our days brighter! Hoping Lester heals well and soon for your sake as well as his! Blessings to you and all at ima sanctuary!
🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣when jake lifted the door off I lost it. Spit my medicine & water everywhere. Oh how funny. This is so like something my family would do. The kitty walking acrosd the island in background was so typical. My kitties do that too. Dont take those pills Carl will like you😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣oh im dying here. Thankyou for a good laugh. I really needed that today. Pray youre up & better soon Lester. All laughing adide , I know how painful & scarey that can be. God bless yall!
Jami quick thinking about getting the tractor bucket for him. So very glad Jake was there to help. He is such a good guy. Great job Uncle Dan and Lulu. Lester I am so sorry about your knees. Next time I bet you let Jami take you to the dr.
I love how humble Lester is. He tries the macho stuff but he’s never ashamed to ask for help after the fact. My husband would be so grumpy and Lester just takes it with a smile. Next time take backup Lester!
I agree with you. Lester tries so hard to be macho, but he knows when enough is enough and then he's humble enough to be able to laugh at himself for the situations that he gets into.
🤭 All I can say is "SHEESH!" Couldn't just get one knee done, could he. Hope the shots help. Never a dull moment with Longhorn Lester, is there? Sending healing thoughts from Canada.🇨🇦❤️
I'm laughing with you not at you. Poor Lester lol. Hope you feel better soon. Jake being a good nephew make our hearts melt ❤️. And to Jami, thank you for recording. 😂 Just wanna add Lester looks great physically. The diet and gym pays off! 👍🏼
Jami, you are the best in solving problems on the spot❣ 🤔💭👍 I remember, when you had to rescue Lester from the mud.🤣 And, won't be the last time. Lester, congrats on the improvement of your health👏 all the work you put into it has paid off! 🤜🤛
That was a perfect idea getting the tractor🚜 Jami!!! Men I tell ya they never listen when they really need too!!! 🤣😂🤣 Hope Lester Know's that he's blessed to have you and his nephew Jake when he doesn't & gets in trouble!!!
You guys are the best. Absolutely love how Jake is so willing to jump in to help out whenever he's needed. You truly have a beautiful family, thank you for sharing with the world to bring us entertainment along with how good people come together to take care of each other and provide sanctuary to animals. Bless all your hearts.
Bless, poor Lester! It’s no fun getting older especially when things don’t work like they used to. However, not only do I sympathize but empathize as well, since I’m in the same boat, lol. Hang tough, Lester Morrow!😄😄❤️❤️
It was sooooo cute that Maggie ( or Trixie I can't tell the difference), was trying he darnest to scoot closer to Lester when he was leaning over the couch, and all her attention was only on her Daddy!! 🐕🐶🐾🐕🦺
Jami, that was epic.🤣🤣🤣🤣 So glad that you videoed it. Poor Lester. Maybe next time he will listen to you. I have had those shots but never double. I will remember this. Jami and Jake to the rescue. 💖💖💖
Lester you took some ribbing and kept on going! Good on you. I can only imagine how many more jokes will be coming your way the rest of the day!🤣🤣 Great news about the meds you can eliminate from your life! Jami and Jake I applaude your restraint...while on video...in ribbing Lester. 💚💚
Whew! Thank goodness Jami came up with a game plan. Bless Jake for being the guy who is willing and able to help! He really is a treasure! Again the Morrow family members are so good to one another. 💞. Praying the knees will feel better soon. Lester, ALWAYS listen to Jami! She is very smart about anything medical! 😘. So glad Lester is off some of his meds! YES! Way to go! Makes all the hard work and cutting back on some food groups worth it! Lester and Jami are looking and sounding soooo good!
Lester hope you're feeling better soon. Carl will miss you while you recover. Better make sure you're a 100% before you do chores again. Think like a woman with all that estrogen and, take it easy cause we love you ❤
🤣😂 hey good thinking girl!! Between yours and Lester's video this morning. I can't stop giggling. Thank you!! I love you guys!! I remember what my days were like before I found the ISS!
I think my jaw dropped when Jake took the door off the hummer. And of course Lester had to park behind the tree where the tractor couldn't get to him. Gait belts are so helpful when trying to lift the elderly.
When I first saw the title, I thought OMG, there’s been an accident!! Then I saw you all laughing and figured all was okay. MEN!! You can’t tell them anything, they don’t listen and think they can handle anything with no help. So glad Jake was there to help. And Jami, great idea with the tractor! You are one smart woman!!
Thank goodness Jami thought of utilizing Uncle Raleigh's tractor. Definitely much safer than the tree limb. Hopefully Lester's will knees will be much improved.
With age comes the ability to laugh at your situation. You showed great creativity with the tractor Jami. 🙂 The 50s are often tough. Heaven help me, I turn 60 in January. This past decade has been "interesting"and often times humbling for me and siblings. Along with some tears, there has been a lot of laughter as we deal with the indignities that can come with advancing age. Over Thanksgiving my brother-in-law (he needs knee replacements) could not get out of one of my mother's living room chairs. He obstinately refused my help until he realized that he had to give up sooner of his "stubborn of man" pride or he'd be sitting in that chair until he died. 🙄 It took a couple seconds and a hand clasp and he was up.♥️ My mindset is whatever gets it done! And a laugh seals the deal.
My word how I giggled my way through this video!! Each one of you really know just how to make light of a situation, even when It’s at Lester’s expense! Lester, I hope you recover quickly, and you are genuinely blessed to have Jaime and Jake there to help you at all times! Jaime bless your heart for thinking like a true farm girl, with ways that are not strange by any means!! Lol I’m sure many have used a tractor for the same or similar circumstances! Quite comical to observe though 😬😂. Jake, you’re One of a kind Young Man! This is just another Fabulous memory to add to the bank of laughs in the memory box!! Thank you for giving of yourself to those in need. ♥️♥️😬🤣👍🏼
I know this was not funny for Lester, but I had to laugh!! 😂😂😂 Great idea to use the bucket on the tractor Jami! Jake is an awesome nephew to Lester and you. Always there and willing to help. Those shots in the knees are definitely numbing. I've only had one knee at a time done. Hope you feeling better Lester. I'm sure all the littles watching were wondering what was happening to you since they all love you!! I love you all and all the babies!! ❤️❤️❤️🚜
That was too funny. It brought the physical therapist assistant out of me. Good idea Jami using the tractor bucket. Thank God for Jake. Lester you are so lucky you got home safe and sound. Jami you might need to get Lester a front wheeled walker for emergencies lol
Or at least two canes. Someday , Jakes not always going to be around to help them. Jami got back issues and knee issues herself. Better to be prepared then both of you going down. Just hide them in your monster bedroom closet....at least they will be close at hand for emergencys. Lester, maybe you need orthotics for your shoes to keep your knees in line. (Real shoes Lester, not Papa Smurf shoes!)
Yep……that’s a man. “I’m ok. I can do it myself!” Yea, right! Glad you made it home ok without an accident! Next time, let someone drive you please. It’s hard for me to see family struggling. Much love and prayers for your speedy recovery! Do what Jami tells you!!!!! Women knows! ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
You people never cease surprising me, you can even make a serious thing like Lester’s knee problema funny. Yet I know, at times, seeing the comical within the serious is often what carries us through the rough time. Cudos to you all ❤️❤️❤️ (and thanks for the laughs 😆🤣😂😉)
Where there is a will there is a way! Thank God Lester got home safe,the hummer door was removable ,the tractor and bucket worked Jami and Jake awesome rescue Lester I feel your pain. Injections for neck back and knee Wonderful video. Great job on the meds. Carl is still scratching his head seeing you in the bucket! God bless. Feel better soon
Thank you so much for this extremly funny video!!! I think I peed a little from laughter!! You are so generous with your weird and wonderful adventures, and all I can do is thank you for brightening the world with your good humour! Good for Lester that he is in better shape now, and for having both a patient, loving and slightly mocking wife, and a nephew who is always there to help and openly laugh at him! You are so funny!
Hope your knees are better soon.. and I love how he kept yelling hey Carl. I like your new walker Lester just be sure and don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Poor Lester! Jami what a great idea of using the tractor. I don't think he would have made it without it. Well, he may have but it would have taken a whole lot longer and been a whole lot harder on all of you getting him inside. Maggie is waiting patiently for him to lie down so she can cuddle with him.
That was another crazy video , but concerning for Lester !!Glad he has his great team of Jami...then Jake to assist him !! Hope him a fast and speedy recovery !! Jami..you were great on the tractor lift !! Great idea !! PS..Maggie was Soo cute on the couch...she was smiling and wiggling all over !!! Loving Lester in his moment of need !! That dog loves him !!
Oh Lester I feel for you! I went through years with my knees in so much pain I couldn’t take it anymore and 6 weeks ago I had a double knee replacement. It was the best thing I could have done I’m already back to my normal activities!! Good luck I hope you feel better soon !
I've been putting off knee replacement for years but more and more people seem to be doing a lot better than they did years ago after surgery. Its on my 2022 to-do list I guess. 😬
Oh man Lester.....great news about getting off of some of your meds! I'm with yah on the path of battling anxiety and depression....been a life long battle for me and I love hearing you are healing!!! Jamie......great country girl thinking!!! It worked like a charm and your obviously really getting the hang of farm life!! Jake as always was there to help save the day! Best wishes to all of you!
I pray that Lester enjoyed his down time , stayed down & relaxed ♥️🙏 I love your earrings Jami !!! They are so pretty ♥️ God Bless y’all & much love 🙏♥️🥰
Oh my gosh! What a story! Good that we got to see it and better that Jami and Jake were there to help Lester out. Long Horn Lester has some Hard Luck Lester days that keep us all feeling normal. 🥼🩹🩹🩹🦵🥤
Poor Lester, been there done that. I had to laugh though, the tractor idea was fabulous Jami. You guys are so lucky to have each other and Jake, he's like that Credit Card Commercial.....that man is just priceless!!! He is a wonderful.
This video should win a award!! Best thing I have watched all year. Lester sometimes Manning Up, is to accept help, it doesn't make you a lesser man, just a smarter man :)
Poor sweet Lester, I know what he is going through! I have knee and back problems, we had to move in to another house due to the stairs. Now I have a ramp and a wheel chair for my bad days! Oh Lester I so feel for you praise an understanding family. By the way , I get cortisone injections in my knees too, you will feel so much better in no time!! ;)
I'm really glad Lester is ok. My first thought was he fell or something. He's probably already feeling better. Good thinking with the tractor and thank goodness Jake was home to help get him out of the bucket!!! All well again in Morrow land!!! Stay blessed!!! Love you guys!!! ❤🤗❤🤗❤
Wow, Lester! Walking is such an overly taken for granted thing! After 2 hip replacement surgeries, I never take it for granted any more. 🥰 Speedy recovery
Jami,so smart!!! Using the tractor was great! I did not laugh at Lester,but with y'all! Thank you,Jake,for helping your uncle out!! Next time,Lester..ask for help before bail out!!!!!😘🙏Great job on the meds,BTW!!
Omg Jami this was the BEST VIDEO EVER!!! Men don't want our help when we offer it. BUT when they realize we were right then they want it all. My dog had surgery Monday and Thursday my husband had to take him to the vet to get a new fentanol patch....I asked "Do you want me to leave you my car and u will take the truck to work" oh "No no I can get him in the truck no problem"! I get a text that night at work and well... "next time I will take your car for sure" I had no words I just said oh okay! LOL 💜 Men I tell ya crazy 🤪 and how about Lester and Jake with the ladder on the porch? Omg I couldn't believe my eyes. What in the world was Lester thinking...."No Jake your gonna hold the ladder on this side". Jake: "That's not a good idea. That's what we have a tracker for with a bucket" OH my word. I dies laughing!! Have a wonderful day! Love everything yall do! Hugs Love and Kisses!!💋 😘 💜❣💞
Oh my! Jami, thank you so much for recording this and sharing it with us all!. I’m not laughing at Lester, I’m laughing with him and I’m sure he will laugh once he can walk again. I love your quick thinking and the great solutions you came up with. Perfect! Lester, congratulations on getting off all those meds. I’m so happy for you. ♥️🙏
Lester “I should have taken the other truck.” Everyone “No, you should have had someone drive you.” I think every health care professional is face palming So Hard right now.
Jake is so funny! "Don't take those estrogen pills. Carl will like you better!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jami, nice tractor work! You take such good care of Lester! You too Jake! Keep on keepin' on!
Jami, you can tell you are in healthcare. The way you had Jake assist Lester and needing a gait belt. You are so caring and good. Hope Lester feels better soon.
Oh dear Lester, I’ve had those injections and could always walk after a little stiff but didn’t need all that. Man up Lester man up, 😂 Hope the shots help😊
The first 10 seconds my heart fell but as I watched I'm glad everything is ok. great news on meds and hopefully the shots help I know how he feels I have them for my back. be patient with what ever journey you are on it takes time but it's working proud of you Lester. And Jami for making it possible for his eating habits 😉😉. Next u need to get him to wear knee support while working on the farm it will help with the night pains. Also to Jake for all you do to help our family and tell him to keep loving moo him and Tex is my favorite. love ya family until next time😁
Be careful with your back. Epidural steroid injections are not FDA approved and the medication used even has a black box warning to not inject it into the spine.
🥰👏👏👏 Jamie, I am so proud of you‼️‼️‼️ You used your farm skills to help Lester into the house to recover.❤️❤️❤️😎 Jake was awesome to help Lester get in the house.😍❤️❤️❤️
Jake is a really good nephew 👏 It's so nice to have one . I have one in my life also . So glad Lester will be okay . I've been there myself . Hugs to yall . Sending love from .Mo.
That was too funny! Jami showing off her mad tractor skills. Lester is going to feel like Superman when his knees start to feel better. Oh and the door in the hummer...very cool.
Lester, take a couple days off and listen to Jami when she tries to “help” with suggestions for the next few days. Get your phone out, lie on the couch with Maggie and take it easy. Do what your Dr. Told you to do during recovery. It’s only a couple of days. You’ll be back to your old self quicker. Being selfish now but we need you being you. Behave, relax and feel better. Good job Jami, and thanks sweet Jake. And dear Maggie too. ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hahaha!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆 I know it's not nice to laugh at someone's pain....but come on!!!! Men are so prideful!!! "I can handle this..." Yeah, as long as someone is there to help.... Also, I would point out that he had your stepstool...you know...the one he teased you about...😄😄😄😄😄 Thanks for sharing and I do hope Lester is doing a lot better....
Men are so stubborn when it comes to their health care. The man I love is impossibly stubborn about taking care of his health and it frightens me sometimes. But at least Lester is home safe and we now know why Carl was doing his mating ritual when Lester was near him. LOLOLOL!!!
Lester, do you know how lucky you are to have Jamie in your life? Jake what a great nephew he is being there to help his uncle. Jamie I just couldn't help but laugh when Lester was sitting in the bucket of the Tractor an he was waving to Carl. I swear Carl was waving back to Lester. It was like he was saying hi, daddy. I feel for yo Lester, I'm 50 years old with two bad knees. One is bone on bone, but I can't get knee replacement till I lose 200 lbs. that is not easy to do when I can barely walk let alone walk enough to lose the wight. I wonder if Sister Kim was watching you all lol. You guys made my day, between this video and the one of lester chasing Papas Ginny's lol. Looks like there is always some kind of excitement at the Sanctuary.
Y'all are so blessed to have Jake. He is such a sweetheart. Lester please don't wait too long to have something done with your knees. Knee replacement is not that hard anymore. Pray that you recover soon.
My momma taught me never to laugh at another person's misfortune but, Lord help me, I couldn't help myself...you're right, Lester, it's NOT funny, but it IS comical...best wishes for a quick recovery!!! It's also nice that Jami has ANOTHER Lester, "I told you so" story!!!

@@FromSuitstoBoots we’re not laughing at him we’re laughing with him is so true
I did the same thing. I started laughing as soon as the video started and then I made myself stop until I found out for sure what was going on. LOL
I guess it's a good think "city Jamie" learned to drive the tractor 🚜 LOL. Heating the joy of Jamie's laugh is the greatest!
Tractors are much easier to run these days than in the past. I revoked my hubbies tractor rights after he hit things or broke things every time he got on it. Haha. Jami is great!

Wow. Quit being a butthead lester
Jake is so sweet. He is always there and eager to help when needed.
Anything for a good video! I love how they all have the camera's going
Jake's the hero we all need, but don't got!! 🤣🤣🤣

Jake is a true blessing always there when someone is in need. he has some good parents for sure
Totally agree Beverly
Couldn't agree more. He is a good one for sure.
Jake is a angel here on Earth, but without the wings.
It should be "WINGLESS JAKE" not "Shirtless Jake" hahahaha...
It's a big man who can laugh at himself. Hope Lester's feeling better!
If he doesn’t laugh he may cry. Poor guy looked rough
I agree Sally from a another Sally from Oshawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Lester's face after Jake said that was hilarious 😂
😄😄
You are now in touch with your feminine side well balanced! 🙃😉

I'm laughing with you not at you. Poor Lester lol. Hope you feel better soon. Jake being a good nephew make our hearts melt ❤️. And to Jami, thank you for recording. 😂
Just wanna add Lester looks great physically. The diet and gym pays off! 👍🏼
LOL!! Oh my gosh poor Lester but this was hilarious! Then the end where Jake says Carl will be after him if he took estrogen pills😂🤣😂🤣
Jami, you are the best in solving problems on the spot❣ 🤔💭👍
I remember, when you had to rescue Lester from the mud.🤣 And, won't be the last time. Lester, congrats on the improvement of your health👏 all the work you put into it has paid off! 🤜🤛
That was a perfect idea getting the tractor🚜 Jami!!! Men I tell ya they never listen when they really need too!!! 🤣😂🤣 Hope Lester Know's that he's blessed to have you and his nephew Jake when he doesn't & gets in trouble!!!
I will not laugh Mr Lester, just hope you feel better. Men!!! some of you are so darn hard headed!!! But we love you😊😊😊
Oh Jami, you have no idea how much I needed this video today! Thank you for always filming the good, the bad, the ugly, and the freaking hilarious!
Oh my……never a dull moment with Lester around!!! Thank goodness for Jami and Jake! They save the day again! Love you guys! 💕👏
You guys are the best. Absolutely love how Jake is so willing to jump in to help out whenever he's needed. You truly have a beautiful family, thank you for sharing with the world to bring us entertainment along with how good people come together to take care of each other and provide sanctuary to animals. Bless all your hearts.
Bless, poor Lester! It’s no fun getting older especially when things don’t work like they used to. However, not only do I sympathize but empathize as well, since I’m in the same boat, lol. Hang tough, Lester Morrow!😄😄❤️❤️
It was sooooo cute that Maggie ( or Trixie I can't tell the difference), was trying he darnest to scoot closer to Lester when he was leaning over the couch, and all her attention was only on her Daddy!! 🐕🐶🐾🐕🦺
Jami, that was epic.🤣🤣🤣🤣 So glad that you videoed it. Poor Lester. Maybe next time he will listen to you. I have had those shots but never double. I will remember this. Jami and Jake to the rescue. 💖💖💖
"The Greatest Day Ever" Jami, you have such a way with words..lmao!
Love and Blessings..from Kansas.
That must've been a horrible feeling for Lester being so helpless when he couldn't move around because he's so independent.
Lester you took some ribbing and kept on going! Good on you. I can only imagine how many more jokes will be coming your way the rest of the day!🤣🤣 Great news about the meds you can eliminate from your life! Jami and Jake I applaude your restraint...while on video...in ribbing Lester.
💚💚
Whew! Thank goodness Jami came up with a game plan. Bless Jake for being the guy who is willing and able to help! He really is a treasure! Again the Morrow family members are so good to one another. 💞. Praying the knees will feel better soon. Lester, ALWAYS listen to Jami! She is very smart about anything medical! 😘. So glad Lester is off some of his meds! YES! Way to go! Makes all the hard work and cutting back on some food groups worth it! Lester and Jami are looking and sounding soooo good!
Oh my Lester, Please rest ,Jami thank you for capturing this 🤣🤣
Lester hope you're feeling better soon. Carl will miss you while you recover. Better make sure you're a 100% before you do chores again. Think like a woman with all that estrogen and, take it easy cause we love you ❤
🤣😂 hey good thinking girl!!
Between yours and Lester's video this morning. I can't stop giggling.
Thank you!!
I love you guys!! I remember what my days were like before I found the ISS!
I think my jaw dropped when Jake took the door off the hummer. And of course Lester had to park behind the tree where the tractor couldn't get to him. Gait belts are so helpful when trying to lift the elderly.
All I can say is Men and shake my head. As always Jami you and Jake ROCK 😍😍
Poor Lester. I'm glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself. Your fur babies need you.
When I first saw the title, I thought OMG, there’s been an accident!! Then I saw you all laughing and figured all was okay. MEN!! You can’t tell them anything, they don’t listen and think they can handle anything with no help. So glad Jake was there to help. And Jami, great idea with the tractor! You are one smart woman!!
Thank goodness Jami thought of utilizing Uncle Raleigh's tractor. Definitely much safer than the tree limb. Hopefully Lester's will knees will be much improved.
No poor Lester, he does that to himself! Lol! Jamie, we are so happy that you videoed this for us!! 🤣🤣
🤣🤣 priceless and thanks for sharing ha ha
And loved it when Jake said dont take those pills Carl will like you😂
With age comes the ability to laugh at your situation. You showed great creativity with the tractor Jami. 🙂 The 50s are often tough. Heaven help me, I turn 60 in January. This past decade has been "interesting"and often times humbling for me and siblings. Along with some tears, there has been a lot of laughter as we deal with the indignities that can come with advancing age.
Over Thanksgiving my brother-in-law (he needs knee replacements) could not get out of one of my mother's living room chairs. He obstinately refused my help until he realized that he had to give up sooner of his "stubborn of man" pride or he'd be sitting in that chair until he died. 🙄 It took a couple seconds and a hand clasp and he was up.♥️ My mindset is whatever gets it done! And a laugh seals the deal.
My word how I giggled my way through this video!! Each one of you really know just how to make light of a situation, even when It’s at Lester’s expense!
Lester, I hope you recover quickly, and you are genuinely blessed to have Jaime and Jake there to help you at all times!
Jaime bless your heart for thinking like a true farm girl, with ways that are not strange by any means!! Lol I’m sure many have used a tractor for the same or similar circumstances! Quite comical to observe though 😬😂.
Jake, you’re One of a kind Young Man! This is just another Fabulous memory to add to the bank of laughs in the memory box!! Thank you for giving of yourself to those in need.
♥️♥️😬🤣👍🏼
God love you all, Lester was such a good sport about this. Jami you are a wonder ! Love you all .
Glad you got him in alright….. he was a front bucket driver instead of a back seat driver. Hope he is feeling better. Have a great day.
Lester I hope your knees feel better soon!! Jami that was good thinking with the tractor!! I’m so glad Jake was there to help with Lester!!❤️🙏❤️
I know this was not funny for Lester, but I had to laugh!! 😂😂😂 Great idea to use the bucket on the tractor Jami! Jake is an awesome nephew to Lester and you. Always there and willing to help. Those shots in the knees are definitely numbing. I've only had one knee at a time done. Hope you feeling better Lester. I'm sure all the littles watching were wondering what was happening to you since they all love you!! I love you all and all the babies!! ❤️❤️❤️🚜
That was too funny. It brought the physical therapist assistant out of me. Good idea Jami using the tractor bucket. Thank God for Jake. Lester you are so lucky you got home safe and sound. Jami you might need to get Lester a front wheeled walker for emergencies lol
Or at least two canes. Someday , Jakes not always going to be around to help them. Jami got back issues and knee issues herself. Better to be prepared then both of you going down. Just hide them in your monster bedroom closet....at least they will be close at hand for emergencys. Lester, maybe you need orthotics for your shoes to keep your knees in line. (Real shoes Lester, not Papa Smurf shoes!)
Yep……that’s a man. “I’m ok. I can do it myself!” Yea, right! Glad you made it home ok without an accident! Next time, let someone drive you please. It’s hard for me to see family struggling. Much love and prayers for your speedy recovery! Do what Jami tells you!!!!! Women knows!
❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Jamie you are the best!! Wishing Lester a speedy recovery. Jamie you will have your hands full. Thanks for sharing.
You people never cease surprising me, you can even make a serious thing like Lester’s knee problema funny. Yet I know, at times, seeing the comical within the serious is often what carries us through the rough time. Cudos to you all ❤️❤️❤️ (and thanks for the laughs 😆🤣😂😉)
Work with what you got, Jake is such a great nephew, glad Lester had some really good news at the doctors 😊
Thank you Jami 🥰 Poor poor Lester, I'm disabled and lift my feet with my boot laces sometimes 😂😂 I hope you're back to your normal soon Lester 🥰🥰
Where there is a will there is a way!
Thank God Lester got home safe,the hummer door was removable ,the tractor and bucket worked
Jami and Jake awesome rescue
Lester I feel your pain. Injections for neck back and knee
Wonderful video. Great job on the meds. Carl is still scratching his head seeing you in the bucket!
God bless. Feel better soon
Thank you so much for this extremly funny video!!! I think I peed a little from laughter!! You are so generous with your weird and wonderful adventures, and all I can do is thank you for brightening the world with your good humour! Good for Lester that he is in better shape now, and for having both a patient, loving and slightly mocking wife, and a nephew who is always there to help and openly laugh at him! You are so funny!
Hope your knees are better soon.. and I love how he kept yelling hey Carl. I like your new walker Lester just be sure and don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Poor Lester! Jami what a great idea of using the tractor. I don't think he would have made it without it. Well, he may have but it would have taken a whole lot longer and been a whole lot harder on all of you getting him inside. Maggie is waiting patiently for him to lie down so she can cuddle with him.
That was another crazy video , but concerning for Lester !!Glad he has his great team of Jami...then Jake to assist him !! Hope him a fast and speedy recovery !!
Jami..you were great on the tractor lift !! Great idea !!
PS..Maggie was Soo cute on the couch...she was smiling and wiggling all over !!! Loving Lester in his moment of need !! That dog loves him !!
Speedy recovery Lester.
Thank you Jami and Jake.
Oh Lester I feel for you! I went through years with my knees in so much pain I couldn’t take it anymore and 6 weeks ago I had a double knee replacement. It was the best thing I could have done I’m already back to my normal activities!! Good luck I hope you feel better soon !
As many operations as I have had, I am looking forward to having my knees done. No fun not to be able to stand up or walk.
I've been putting off knee replacement for years but more and more people seem to be doing a lot better than they did years ago after surgery. Its on my 2022 to-do list I guess. 😬
I love my new knees replacement so far beats all the pain and immobility
Oh gosh....hope u feel better❣
Have your fur babies snuggle with you, they are very therapeutic...
My fur babies help me when I feel bad🥰❣❣🥰
Oh man Lester.....great news about getting off of some of your meds! I'm with yah on the path of battling anxiety and depression....been a life long battle for me and I love hearing you are healing!!! Jamie......great country girl thinking!!! It worked like a charm and your obviously really getting the hang of farm life!! Jake as always was there to help save the day! Best wishes to all of you!
I pray that Lester enjoyed his down time , stayed down & relaxed ♥️🙏 I love your earrings Jami !!! They are so pretty ♥️ God Bless y’all & much love 🙏♥️🥰
"I'm gonna record it for you y'all.....cuz why not" Lmao! 🤣 😆 🤣 😂
Oh my gosh! What a story! Good that we got to see it and better that Jami and Jake were there to help Lester out. Long Horn Lester has some Hard Luck Lester days that keep us all feeling normal. 🥼🩹🩹🩹🦵🥤
Great idea Jami!! Those injections hurt worse than labor!!
Poor Lester, been there done that. I had to laugh though, the tractor idea was fabulous Jami. You guys are so lucky to have each other and Jake, he's like that Credit Card Commercial.....that man is just priceless!!! He is a wonderful.
This video should win a award!! Best thing I have watched all year. Lester sometimes Manning Up, is to accept help, it doesn't make you a lesser man, just a smarter man :)
I have had that every 6 months for the last few years. Best thing you can do is walk it out Lester. Yes it sucks but it helps
Hope your feeling better by now, Lester. 🌸🌺
Poor sweet Lester, I know what he is going through! I have knee and back problems, we had to move in to another house due to the stairs. Now I have a ramp and a wheel chair for my bad days!
Oh Lester I so feel for you praise an understanding family. By the way , I get cortisone injections in my knees too, you will feel so much better in no time!! ;)
I'm really glad Lester is ok. My first thought was he fell or something. He's probably already feeling better. Good thinking with the tractor and thank goodness Jake was home to help get him out of the bucket!!! All well again in Morrow land!!! Stay blessed!!! Love you guys!!! ❤🤗❤🤗❤
Jamie you have to send this to Rick you know he will love this. This made my day.
Wow, Lester! Walking is such an overly taken for granted thing! After 2 hip replacement surgeries, I never take it for granted any more. 🥰 Speedy recovery
Jami,so smart!!! Using the tractor was great! I did not laugh at Lester,but with y'all! Thank you,Jake,for helping your uncle out!!
Next time,Lester..ask for help before bail out!!!!!😘🙏Great job on the meds,BTW!!
Omg Jami this was the BEST VIDEO EVER!!! Men don't want our help when we offer it. BUT when they realize we were right then they want it all. My dog had surgery Monday and Thursday my husband had to take him to the vet to get a new fentanol patch....I asked "Do you want me to leave you my car and u will take the truck to work" oh "No no I can get him in the truck no problem"! I get a text that night at work and well... "next time I will take your car for sure" I had no words I just said oh okay! LOL 💜 Men I tell ya crazy 🤪 and how about Lester and Jake with the ladder on the porch? Omg I couldn't believe my eyes. What in the world was Lester thinking...."No Jake your gonna hold the ladder on this side". Jake: "That's not a good idea. That's what we have a tracker for with a bucket" OH my word. I dies laughing!! Have a wonderful day! Love everything yall do! Hugs Love and Kisses!!💋 😘 💜❣💞
Oh my! Jami, thank you so much for recording this and sharing it with us all!. I’m not laughing at Lester, I’m laughing with him and I’m sure he will laugh once he can walk again. I love your quick thinking and the great solutions you came up with. Perfect!
Lester, congratulations on getting off all those meds. I’m so happy for you. ♥️🙏
Lester “I should have taken the other truck.”
Everyone “No, you should have had someone drive you.”
I think every health care professional is face palming So Hard right now.
Jake is so funny! "Don't take those estrogen pills. Carl will like you better!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jami, nice tractor work! You take such good care of Lester! You too Jake! Keep on keepin' on!
Jami, you can tell you are in healthcare. The way you had Jake assist Lester and needing a gait belt. You are so caring and good. Hope Lester feels better soon.
Oh dear Lester, I’ve had those injections and could always walk after a little stiff but didn’t need all that. Man up Lester man up, 😂 Hope the shots help😊
The first 10 seconds my heart fell but as I watched I'm glad everything is ok. great news on meds and hopefully the shots help I know how he feels I have them for my back. be patient with what ever journey you are on it takes time but it's working proud of you Lester. And Jami for making it possible for his eating habits 😉😉. Next u need to get him to wear knee support while working on the farm it will help with the night pains. Also to Jake for all you do to help our family and tell him to keep loving moo him and Tex is my favorite. love ya family until next time😁
Be careful with your back. Epidural steroid injections are not FDA approved and the medication used even has a black box warning to not inject it into the spine.
Best. Video. Ever. I'm crying 😂
Feel better soon Lester! Jami, work this one to the max!
🥰👏👏👏 Jamie, I am so proud of you‼️‼️‼️ You used your farm skills to help Lester into the house to recover.❤️❤️❤️😎 Jake was awesome to help Lester get in the house.😍❤️❤️❤️
Jami thank you so much for the laugh, I was crying.
Jake is a really good nephew 👏 It's so nice to have one . I have one in my life also . So glad Lester will be okay . I've been there myself . Hugs to yall . Sending love from .Mo.
That was too funny! Jami showing off her mad tractor skills. Lester is going to feel like Superman when his knees start to feel better. Oh and the door in the hummer...very cool.
Lester, take a couple days off and listen to Jami when she tries to “help” with suggestions for the next few days. Get your phone out, lie on the couch with Maggie and take it easy. Do what your Dr. Told you to do during recovery. It’s only a couple of days. You’ll be back to your old self quicker. Being selfish now but we need you being you. Behave, relax and feel better. Good job Jami, and thanks sweet Jake. And dear Maggie too. ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Tho was amazing. I’m glad Lester is okay
Hahaha!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆
I know it's not nice to laugh at someone's pain....but come on!!!!
Men are so prideful!!! "I can handle this..." Yeah, as long as someone is there to help....
Also, I would point out that he had your stepstool...you know...the one he teased you about...😄😄😄😄😄
Thanks for sharing and I do hope Lester is doing a lot better....
Jami that was a good rescue. Glad Lester made it in the house with out disaster. Good job everyone. Love it
Ooooh, to be a bird on a post when Lester first got IN the truck..🤭🤣 Bless you Lester! 🤣❤️
Men! Lol 😉 Such a good video Jami and you look GREAT 😊 Hope Lester’s doing ok now!
Men are so stubborn when it comes to their health care. The man I love is impossibly stubborn about taking care of his health and it frightens me sometimes. But at least Lester is home safe and we now know why Carl was doing his mating ritual when Lester was near him. LOLOLOL!!!
Lester, do you know how lucky you are to have Jamie in your life? Jake what a great nephew he is being there to help his uncle. Jamie I just couldn't help but laugh when Lester was sitting in the bucket of the Tractor an he was waving to Carl. I swear Carl was waving back to Lester. It was like he was saying hi, daddy. I feel for yo Lester, I'm 50 years old with two bad knees. One is bone on bone, but I can't get knee replacement till I lose 200 lbs. that is not easy to do when I can barely walk let alone walk enough to lose the wight. I wonder if Sister Kim was watching you all lol. You guys made my day, between this video and the one of lester chasing Papas Ginny's lol. Looks like there is always some kind of excitement at the Sanctuary.
Y'all are so blessed to have Jake. He is such a sweetheart. Lester please don't wait too long to have something done with your knees. Knee replacement is not that hard anymore. Pray that you recover soon.
