I had oxy for oral surgery one time. I sat on the couch and felt like it was a perfect couch and the lighting was perfect and the air smelled perfect and I had a perfect dog... I can see why people get addicted to it!!
Anthony, my husband had the same problem for several years. An orthopedic neurologist finally told him that anytime you have that leaning to one side it is a muscle. He gave him exercises stretching everyday. He started doing them daily and the leaning stopped. The constant pain stopped. He has now done them for over 30 years everyday no more leaning has occurred. It doesn't cost anything to try stretching exercises to see if they will help. It pains me to see you in that pain because I have seen it in my husband's eyes.
I totally agree, I spend thousands on chiropractors. Until I found that doing back exercises stretching cured my back! its been years and years and I am still good, just go on you tube and look up back exercises. it works wonders...
I think k the garden is going to look awesome. Making it the same width as the house makes a huge difference in the appearance :) keep healing Anthony!
A good treat for toothache and mouth pain. Vigorously brush with baking soda. (mixed with water to make a thick paste) for 2minutes, then rinse. It's a life saver
I have a bad back and when I first wake up I am stiff and I can hardly walk. I feel better after a warm shower or after I move around for a while. Sitting in my recliner for a few minutes with a heating pad on my back also helps in the morning.
Anthony how you doing I have compressed nerves in my neck I am 65 been disabled for 15 yrs I have taken every pill you can think of but nothing stops the nerve pain I have to have surgery soon I have a great doctor he even said it will stop some of the pain but not all of it
Rub peppermint oil on your back at bedtime and cut a piece of ginger root 🫚 and bite between the two teeth of the one that hurts to help with tooth pain. Natural remedies that I grew up with. Ooh also good for Rox to grow a lot of mint, the bunnies will love you guys, I’m not sure if the ladies can eat it, but I put it in my tea too.
Anthony , I have ligament problem, all my in sides collapsed, I lost a lot of things anyway I had a lot of pain where you describe your , Please go to the doctor and get checked out for prolapse
Anthony you should get yourself a inverted table that makes you go upside with legs in the air great for disc issues!! Also the Topricin is for nerve pain !! Try it out!! I don't do pain medicine either!! Hope you feel better!! ❤ Sending blessings!! Mamma Carolyn
I saw the tops of the beds frame to be topped with a flat bench to sit on or put potted plants on. Put all the beds the same two board deep. Take it easy, 'olden
After 68yrs and many ‘dirt road miles’ my 33yr old son finally talked me into going to a chiropractor. As I too do not take pain meds and am a practitioner of natural meds I was very pleasantly surprised of the results of chiropractor. Absolutely should have went to a chiropractor many moons earlier.
Hi, zGarden looking good. I think you are going to have a wooden like Picket Fence, if so that will look great but whatever it will still look very nice. Everything you do turns out very very good. Have a good day Blessings
Anthony, I had back surgery on two disc's, then re hurt it again. You will never be the same. You need to do the streghts before and after working. And take days off too. I'm 58 and love to stay busy too. Remember...20 min. Of heat and 20 min. Of cold.
Praying for healing also Praying for help through an xray and wonderful chiropractor someone who is an expert and can help u get your healing! Love the dog home! Great job! You both do wonderful in all u build!
Be-active band, cost about $20, its for the sciatic nerve, you put it on the side that the pain is on. It does work. When mine acts up, the first time I used it for about a week (but was already in a full blown episode when I got the band), after that I put it on at first twinge and haven't had to use it more than a day or two at a time since. And My episodes have decreased, I haven't had an episode in over a year now, and a full blown episode in 9 years.
Morning RoxAnna,and Anthony, Your garden area, is so much larger, you will enjoy the extra space. We had a Ninety by Ninety- Five loot garden, we grew for our self's ,Family, neighbors,, the space was wonderful.I canned , froze, gave away , which was great!!! That's the fun sharing food with the ones you love.Sending my love and God's blessings to you all,stay safe ,Keep on Smiling.Wanda In N E Ok U
I had never hear of compost being hot. I heard about it from Living Tradition homestead. They had gotten compost material from a company and I though ok they are going to use it now. But Kevin said they couldn’t use it now had to wait until the compost wasn’t hot, it was still decomposing and would kill the plants. I learn something that day, not a gardener. They do use rabbit poop and Sarah turns it into powder corn and sells some at farmers market as powder or pellet form. They have a greenhouse and do container growing. Also they have a little house where they start starter plants from seeds and plant in the spring. They are actually starting the seed plants usual 6 weeks before spring. Learning so much from you both and other homesteaders. Hope Anthony is feeling better and soreness gone.
My husband was just like you about meds. In fact, he went through post kidney transplant on Tylenol only. The docs couldn’t believe it. But really Ant, go have it checked out before one day you can’t get out of bed. 😢 That would be awful for all of us.
Good morning guys. Yes y'all have. I watched y'all working and pushing forward. It's going to be nice. Just take care of yourself Ant. Well could be a herniated disc forming The thing about back problems can mount to many things. Pinched nerve etc. In my prayers always enjoy y'all's videos.
Looking good guys! The garden will be beautiful and bountiful! Hey you should take the muscle relaxers at night to work while you sleep. Yes, tooth pain is the absolute worst 💯 I hope you get your back figured out, son. I love you. Love, MoM
It is looking great! Sorry about mixer. I love your channels! Lately I've been watching a lot of YTube of the Framily. Was in a auto accident on Sunday. Just home recuperating. Sore and bored! You all help me get through each day!! Thank You!!
The garden is coming along nice. You can put your blueberries in the ground this year you have more space. Cant wait to see what you picked out to plant. Ant, have you gone to a chiropractor to have him put you back in line.. Ive had neck and lower back surgery. Ive learned to live with the pain. They want to put a rod in my neck but i wont do it. Im the same will only take a pill if i cant get relief from tylenol or motrin and aspirin. I use a heating pad that can be used moist or dry, alternating with cold packs to reduce any swelling. I have a cervical collar i wear when i hurt. You will be able to feel the weather's chage in your bones. Now im sure i have arthritis in my old lady bones...sucks getting old but im there. I get sick an not into taking pain pills. Enough personal history. Enjoy the rest of today❤
I used to put nails in thin strips of wood and stagger them between the plants to keep my animals from tramping through or digging. It worked for me. 😅 it's looking good at your place. ❤
Good morning!! Enjoy watching you guys. Try no sugar, no carbs, for a couple of weeks. See if that helps your back pain. It worked for me. Back pain is the worst..
I understand how you feel about taking meds. I have a high tolerence for pain and will suffer through almost anything before taking any meds. I had knee surgery and elected not to take the prescribed meds because the pain was not great enough to me to take them.
Yes, so sorry your in pain. I had a disc injury a few years ago & orthopedic doctor & chiropractor care helped. They can relieve pressure that’s sitting on your nerve. ❤ look around & see
I feel your pain Anthony. I had a bad tooth and it hurt so bad. The dentist said he couldn't do anything cause it had an abscess. He said he couldn't numb it. I made him pull it without any pain reliever. I knew it couldn't hurt any worse than it already did. I have a bulging disc or 2 and it hurts so bad. The only meds I take is blood pressure and thyroid. In your garden use chicken wire and the netting on top. That will keep the cats out.
I'm happy your back is better Anthony. Just be care and don't over work it too much. So it may take an extra day or two to complete what you set for yourself for the task but your health is more important. That garden will be fantastic when you two are done work it. ❤
Hello Rox & Anthony, the garden is going to be awesome. Have y’all thought about planting an orchard? Fruit trees would be so wonderful. Peaches, apples, pears etc. Fruit is so expensive and if you could grow your own that would be a savings. The initial investment for the trees might be expensive, but you would have that fruit forever.
I'm sure Gary & Mel were already planning to replace the mixer. They definitely got their money worth. Rox I love the garden area it will look awesome. ❤❤
Hi! Love the garden area! I'm a master gardener here in north central texas, so love watching y'all. Anthony aren't you a vet? You should have benefits. My brother in law is Vietnam vet and he really has been taken care of well with va clinic. Is there a va clinic near you? Hope you feel better. ❤
Great job on the garden, your homestead is looking good! I love to spend hours in my garden, it’s like meditation. My 2 cent on your back; we should have a curve at the bottom of our neck and another curve were we twist. Anthony, you know military would have you stand straight or do jumping -jacks. It aligns your ears even with your shoulders. Lumbar pillows are made to support when sitting vs learn on a table. I have bad car accident, I got to CorePT 2x week. For past 5years. Thanks for the videos.
Anthony. I wear an arm brace for my tendinitis only when it flares up (which was for 3 days this time) which helps me to continue to be able to function. I still have to learn my limit's of course, but it beats not being able to hold a glass of water without the brace. A back brace will help you, whether it's bones, nerves, muscles or whatever it may be. It really seriously keeps you from dealing with so much pain. You'd be surprised what help if gives you. I wish you had a chiropractor like mine. He straightens me up, and uses different beds with massagers to help the tendons, muscles, bones & nerves to all reconnect properly. A good chiropractor isn't just there to crack bones & send you on your way.
Hope your back keeps on improving Anthony. Disappointed saw you had to miss the chance to help out with Mamma V @possum run homesteads roofing party. Roxanne, I thought you mentioned you were still planning to go yourself for a bit but I didn't see you in any video. :(
I use to work for a fence company. We always did a dry pack. They said it's stronger. Had to put some dry concrete in then some dirt and tamp it . Then more concrete and more dirt till the hole was filled. Maybe they wanted the fence to come down faster so they get another job. Save all your chicken poop for the garden. Not too much though. I use a lot when I plant corn.
Love the attention you are giving to the plann for providing for your family. Good job getting the garden back in order. The fence is great. Will you still be adding a greenhouse?😢
I seen it used on another channel and I gave it a go, and it worked so good I'll never use concrete again. It is called Fast 2K Deck Post Anchor 2.5-lb Fast Setting deck and post anchor, It uses expanding foam. The best part is it seals the post from water so it will not rot, Yes it cost more than concrete but it is set in 15 - 30 min and the vlog I watched , when they tried to remove the post it pulled the post into.
I'm glad your better and I totally understand your pain. I recently had bad sciatica pain that had me down for a couple of months. It still gives me some pain but at least I can function now. Physical therapy helped me get through it. There are stretches you can do at home that may help.
Anthony just wondering if you check your blood pressure if you deal with pain it can effect your blood pressure please check it if you don't have a cuff at home they have one at Walmart at the pharmacy you can check blood. Pressure looks like you already got alot of garden fence done😊
I would put something in between all your garden beds so the grass won’t grow ! wood chips or stone you need something so you’re not mowing and weed eating all the time
I live in Northeast Georgia in planting zone Seven. Zone Seven starts where I live and moves to the top West Corner of Georgia and upward through parts of Arkansas. I don’t know what zone you live in but it looks like where I live. You all are a little bit cooler in the Winter than we are.
❤ I have used QUICK CRETE DRY AND WITH WATER. DRY IS EASIER AND WILL WORK VERY WELL WHEN YOU HAVE WET SOIL. NO AIR BUBBLES. MIXING IS HARD WORK AND TIME CONSUMING AND AIR BUBBLES WHEN YOU DO NOT PLAY IN EACH HOLE LOL.
Ok, just a suggestion. You may want to keep the height of fence do to deer can clear a 6 foot fence. Also that height may deter other animals, and you could place bird netting also
Rox, I watch Denman Homestead. Steph has a huge garden. She and Buddy found the cutest greenhouse at Costco, I believe. It's so nice. She has it full of starts already. They live down by Houston. Check out her greenhouse. They did around 3 videos putting it up. I love what ya'll do!!
Could you raise the beds up higher. My daughter in law has a 12 foot long bed with a watering system. It works out for her so well. The bonus for me,walk up to it and pick veggies without bending down or over.
If you where a back brace it makes your back muscles week. Go to the doctor or chiropractor and they will tell which exercises strengthen your back. When I go to the gym and do light exercises and easy stretching exercising it strengthens my back muscles and I feel much better. Hope your back gets better soon.
Have you thought about renting a cement mixer to help save time since you're under a time crunch? Also, have you thought about maybe making the fence high enough to maybe put some of the chickens in the garden to help with the insect infestation?
If you do cut them off like that you could just turn them over and the post are still attached to go in the ground no building needed your raised bed is done save your self some work 👍 my name is Hilary and I am from wales love watching you ❤️👍
You do not plant outside until after Easter. Plant your seeds in a temperature controlled environment or in a green house. It can snow where you are in March and it can frost all the way up until Easter. I live in Northeast Georgia and I have seen snow in Match. I live in the foothills not even the mountains. You need to buy or build a small green house ad you need to start seeds in small pots.
What are you using for the fencing ??? Wood??? Planking!!! Anyway the garden area looks like a very nice area for lots of growth!!...enjoyed the video yesterday..
Hi Ant, whatever the problem in your back strengthening the core braces your spine, much like a natural spinal brace. Spinal braces have their place but they do not strengthen the core muscles just add additional support when needed. Your core is always there so learn about keeping the core strength. In a previous comment I suggested a combination of things that you can pick the exercises and stretches from to suit your needs. Pilates in particular is good to learn. I am with you on the opioids because as a nurse for over 50 years I have seen them as only effective for short term acute pain but counterproductive for chronic conditions. It seems a strange way to put it but you need to develop a very deep understanding of your back and how it works., then add to that the ergonomic physics of movement. Everyone’s back condition may have differences but one thing I have learnt is that muscle and nerve pain are intimately entwined. Have a read of trigger point therapy as this will educate you on how entwined these are. Hi Rox you are good for Ant. I enjoy you both sharing your lifestyle vicariously with us. Stay safe and healthy.
I had oxy for oral surgery one time. I sat on the couch and felt like it was a perfect couch and the lighting was perfect and the air smelled perfect and I had a perfect dog... I can see why people get addicted to it!!

What is also nice are fruit trees on the side where you have now created more space.. 🤗
I think k the garden is going to look awesome. Making it the same width as the house makes a huge difference in the appearance :) keep healing Anthony!
That view of the mountain at the end was so pretty. ❤
A good treat for toothache and mouth pain. Vigorously brush with baking soda. (mixed with water to make a thick paste) for 2minutes, then rinse. It's a life saver

Hi, zGarden looking good. I think you are going to have a wooden like Picket Fence, if so that will look great but whatever it will still look very nice. Everything you do turns out very very good. Have a good day Blessings
That area for the garden with the new fence posts looks like a green house in the works
Hello Anthony & Roxanne
New fence around the garden area, gonna look amazing. 🌞🌱
Have an amazing day 💛
Anthony, I had back surgery on two disc's, then re hurt it again. You will never be the same. You need to do the streghts before and after working. And take days off too. I'm 58 and love to stay busy too. Remember...20 min. Of heat and 20 min. Of cold.
Just something to think about, you can put a sheet of wiring on top of garden beds to keep the cats from using as a litter box.
Hi ant and rox garden gonna be great 👍👍😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

Good morning Tox and Ant!!👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
I see fruit trees in your garden. Love you guys .
😢. Try stretching , ice & deep breaths. Glad you are staying away from the heavy meds ❤ praying for you
Nice new garden space😊
I used to put nails in thin strips of wood and stagger them between the plants to keep my animals from tramping through or digging. It worked for me. 😅 it's looking good at your place. ❤

Hello Rox & Anthony, the garden is going to be awesome. Have y’all thought about planting an orchard? Fruit trees would be so wonderful. Peaches, apples, pears etc. Fruit is so expensive and if you could grow your own that would be a savings. The initial investment for the trees might be expensive, but you would have that fruit forever.
I'm sure Gary & Mel were already planning to replace the mixer. They definitely got their money worth. Rox I love the garden area it will look awesome. ❤❤
Nice video ❤️ 🙋♂️ 👍
clematis is a flower that will grow on fence. and its beautiful
Hi! Love the garden area! I'm a master gardener here in north central texas, so love watching y'all. Anthony aren't you a vet? You should have benefits. My brother in law is Vietnam vet and he really has been taken care of well with va clinic. Is there a va clinic near you? Hope you feel better. ❤
Good morning 🌞 going to be a nice looking garden area 😉 I've had back issues for years ( feel your pain Anthony) 🥺 have a nice day 🙏🇺🇲💖
Great video xx
Roxanne, in one box plant wild flowers,this will bring bee's to your garden,and as you know they are very important part of your garden.😅
Great job on the garden, your homestead is looking good! I love to spend hours in my garden, it’s like meditation. My 2 cent on your back; we should have a curve at the bottom of our neck and another curve were we twist. Anthony, you know military would have you stand straight or do jumping -jacks.

Roxanne was there at least once. She was in someone’s video but I don’t remember whose it was. 🙂
Roxanne, you should keep one or two deep beds for planting things like carrots, beets, and other tubers.

Have you thought about renting a cement mixer to help save time since you're under a time crunch? Also, have you thought about maybe making the fence high enough to maybe put some of the chickens in the garden to help with the insect infestation?
If you do cut them off like that you could just turn them over and the post are still attached to go in the ground no building needed your raised bed is done save your self some work 👍 my name is Hilary and I am from wales love watching you ❤️👍
Anthony, You need a good chiropractor for an adjustment if bones that can relieve nerve pain, as most popular homesteaders do.

Get you some of those large potato growing bags to put along the fence. I got mine off Amazon ; of course
You do not plant outside until after Easter. Plant your seeds in a temperature controlled environment or in a green house. It can snow where you are in March and it can frost all the way up until Easter. I live in Northeast Georgia and I have seen snow in Match. I live in the foothills not even the mountains. You need to buy or build a small green house ad you need to start seeds in small pots.
What are you using for the fencing ??? Wood??? Planking!!! Anyway the garden area looks like a very nice area for lots of growth!!...enjoyed the video yesterday..
Anthony l use an exercise ball to sit on and it does wonders to strengthen your core and helps the lower back a LOT ❤
What kind of flowers are you going to put in your window boxes?
Go to the Doctor please. Don’t wait till you can’t move one day!
Hi Ant, whatever the problem in your back strengthening the core braces your spine, much like a natural spinal brace. Spinal braces have their place but they do not strengthen the core muscles just add additional support when needed. Your core is always there so learn about keeping the core strength. In a previous comment I suggested a combination of things that you can pick the exercises and stretches from to suit your needs. Pilates in particular is good to learn. I am with you on the opioids because as a nurse for over 50 years I have seen them as only effective for short term acute pain but counterproductive for chronic conditions. It seems a strange way to put it but you need to develop a very deep understanding of your back and how it works., then add to that the ergonomic physics of movement. Everyone’s back condition may have differences but one thing I have learnt is that muscle and nerve pain are intimately entwined. Have a read of trigger point therapy as this will educate you on how entwined these are. Hi Rox you are good for Ant. I enjoy you both sharing your lifestyle vicariously with us. Stay safe and healthy.
Im thinking Secret Garden 🏡🕊️ lol 😆
Hello Ant & Rox
When they pulled my teeth they packed my mouth with tea bags. I brought them so I could chose my favorite tea bags.
I don’t like taking medication at all, even with surgery I turn the drip off, the constipation is worse than the pain.
Can you both manually mix the concrete in the mixer and pour it out and just wheel it and shovel it out until you can get a new one.
An OTC response to that morning backache woud be Doan's Pills, easily avaiable where aspirin is sold. The list of ingredients is extremely short.
Top your beds up with really good compost and you will reap the results
