J-C Heath ! Take it from a guy who worked as a Red Cross ski patrol here for some years:
**You never, never ever** remove a work boot, ski boot or shoe yourself. You go to the nearest E.R. ASAP and let them take care of it.
You don't know if nerves or bones were damaged. Keeping your boot on hold everything at their right place.
Plus your foot or limb may swell like crazy fast, spreading any infection through your limb or your whole body.
Regarding anti-biotics, you were a plumber, not a certified Doctor after years of studies and training. Trust your's.
Finally, tree felling is one of the most dangerous occupation. Wear the proper Personal Safety equipment, damn it !
Those infections are no joke. I was a combat medic in the Army and had to deal with that many times. Taking the medication as prescribed is a great way to fight the issue. I wish you a speedy recovery and I'm sending prayers.
AMEN THAT...
Thank you for your service.
That's really scary.. but you're definitely lucky! It could have been much worse. I'm glad you're ok! Please get some chainsaw appropriate boots!!
And chaps. Uncle almost lost his life doing THE EXACT SAME THING and fell, cutting his femoral artery. Chainsaws are no joke and should be respected. Look at the terrain you’re working in…it’s just nuts man.
He won't, that's just who he is.
I too am glad it was not worse
Heath, i think its better you invest in safetyequipment insted of all that toys the children are playing with. Think of the consekuencis for the rest of the family if you are badly heart or even dye.
My daughter at 17 got staph from roller scares. She was hospitalized for 12 days. They even talked about amputation if the strongest antibiotics didn’t work. I thank God that she recovered.
the bit at the beginning gave me a chuckle and a smile. thank you. I needed that.
Someone unsubbed from it lol.
It always seems to be helpful to share our imperfections with others because it could serve as debutante in keeping others safe. I'm grateful you shared this and pray for you a speedy recovery.
Also, your pain is a good reminder for the rest of us sorry you're going through that but I do appreciate you showing that to the world. It's a good reminder thank you
Sorry for your misfortune. I am glad you went to the ER and got the necessary meds. Take em and rest appropriately. We can wait for you to get fully better. Get well soon.
I had Arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder and now stuck with a sling for at least 10 weeks! My home projects mock me every time I go near them. I can feel your pain. Good luck on your healing.
I'm sorry to hear of your injury. 🙏🙏 Prayers for your recovery blessing for Ceder and the kids too.
Take care of yourself. I’m glad you’re ok. A little down time will be good for you physically but I know that mentally it will drive you crazy thinking about all the things you want to get done.
Heartfelt prayers for your speedy and complete recovery.
MRSA is nothing to mess with my father had MRSA a few years ago from getting a pedicure. He lost his big toe and was in LDS Hospital for four months because the infection went into his bloodstream. He was on IV antibiotics and he almost lost his life all for a tiny cut on his toe getting a pedicure.
MRSA stays on you skin, we all have it but some people are more acceptable in getting infection than others.
Please take care of yourself, I love your videos and I’m a little bit selfish I don’t want to see you laid up for the summer because I look forward watching you create your dreams with your family on Red Poppy Ranch. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼
This is so scary. Really glad you are OK and mending. I must tell you that I had a premonition about an injury for you while you discussed clearing the trees. My stomach lurched and I told myself that I was being too dramatic. But, no, I knew. So so sorry.
Oh im wishing you well. I paused the video and went straight to Instagram. Oh it looks painful. I wish you a quick recovery. You've done a lot of work. Don't beat yourself too much, it was an accident. Oh Heath take it easy for a little bit, like you said you're not messing around. You're a hardworking man and you're such an inspiration. God bless you. I love ya'll for real. ❤🙏
Love those drone views. Beautiful country. Just sit in that rocking chair and fly your drone keeps me mesmerized. Take care.
Prayers for a speedy recovery Heath. Never take injuries lightly. Take your time recovering and my best to your family.
Praying for a fast recovery. God bless you! Thanks for all of the great content.
Oh man hope you recover safely and quickly keeping you in our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
I wish you a speedy recovery, both with the primary wound, the secondary inflammation and then the recovery from having to take all those antibiotics.
Thank goodness it did not go through an artery. So sorry you have been hurt. Hope it heals quickly and you are soon fighting fit as usual. Best wishes from the U.K.
So sorry about your foot !! Prayers for your fast healing 🙏
Praying for a speedy recovery!!! Please take care, and if you don’t want chainsaw boots, they do make chainsaw guards that go over your regular boots. Again, my family and I will be praying over you!!!🙏🏻
Sorry to hear of your plight, we all have crosses to bear- do as they tell you with the antibiotics. Things will get better. Again, thanks for allowing us on your journey - always a pleasure to watch!
Please take the time to let the wound heal properly and take the medication as prescribed by the Doctor. These are not infections you want to mess around with. Praying for a swift recovery and healing for you.
I'm so glad your okay!!! I know the worst part of this for you is taking it easy but I am so glad you are! Don't be so hard on yourself; you did the exact same thing that most of us would. Take care of yourself and many blessings to you and your family!!!
That war wound is a dandy but Heath my friend, You Are BLESSED. Please be super careful, put it behind you and keep rolling my friend.
the comedic timing on that "where am i" was spot on. very funny
Heath, prayers for a quick and full healing 🙏🏻. Happy it wasn't worse, Brother. Please be careful out there and carry a first aid kit on your utility vehicle. God bless.
Reading your caption sent chills down my spine. Glad it wasn’t worse. You took your boot off and I saw the blood and got chills again. Hope you heal quick. I know how cuts hurt from the tops of cans and a little slicer to cut potatoes. And it hurts like hell. Try and take it easy.
Oh dear! Sorry about your foot. This is so scary. Please take things slow and follow the doctors orders. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.
I'm a professional Carpenter and I have to be blunt , Your tool technic is nothing short of a miracle . You still have your fingers and you can still walk . Dont be to complacent . I've never employed any one who couldnt count to ten with their fingers ..You should listen to doctors . The way you treat your tools shows that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed .
wow .... that was really very intense .... luckily you will have recovered in a short time .... STRENGTH and a speedy recovery
👍 I was just out clearing some saplings in the trail I'm cutting, (over 95^ out and I got exhausted, light-headed, and weak so I shut down before an accident happened. This just confirmed why I did it. Take care Heath, be careful bud. Enjoy
Praying for a speedy recovery Heath!!
Oh dear! That is not good! Praying you heal quickly without complications.
Glad your okay Heath, stay safe and I hope the wound heals soon
My uncle cut into his foot a lot of years ago and he was a life long woodsman who had cut trees back before chainsaws where used here in the Canadian North. It took a while for it to heal. That was along time before the special pants and safety boots they have today. The loggers today look like Firemen working in the bush here in Canada with Face shields, special jackets and pants. They even have to do a class and pass a test here to work cutting trees down. Private owners can cut their own trees without the tests and classes.
Loving the drone footage .... lol, always the moo-moo's ..... ouch! Shit! I hope you're ok! .... I just finished cutting my thumb on my table saw .... It's like a chainsaw, a nasty ground up meaty cut ... not easy to sew up and takes a while to heal .... ESPECIALLY with a foot, be careful of infection due to sweat and all ..... Man I feel for you. Haste makes waste. You know, working out there alone like that, you need to be extra careful. ........ Live and learn, take it easy, bide your time and let the thing heal. Better to be down for a weak or two than to lose your foot. Ruby is so awesome.
🙏 Prayers for a safe and speedy recovery! 😘💖🌈
Wooooooooow heath!!!I'm glad that it wasn't worst.Since I started watching you videos I've realised that you are a borned worker.So I know it's going to be difficult to stand down.But the doctors know better than us.I was patiently awaiting you tackling the water tanks situation, but I guess I will have to wait a bit longer.I loved how you said that the doctor and the nurses were all looking at you like ...not the sharpest tool in the shed 😁
Prayers for a speedy recovery. 🙏
Sorry about your injury! Happy Healing to you, sir!
I know you drive Cedar crazy...cutting foot and still goin. Hope you heal soon.💕💪🏽🤞🏼🙏🏼
Ouch, sorry to hear of your accident I hope your foot heals quickly, take it easy! I stood on a rusty nail which went straight through my right foot and yes I ended up with a bad infection having to have puss drained from it when I was younger, got a good scar from it. Take care xxx
Safety shoes now, right ? 👍
As someone who is allergic to tetanus shots I use what a farmer friend recommended years ago. I always have a BIG bottle of hydrogen peroxide in my frig and a couple on my bathroom shelf. I keep a bottle at the place I volunteer also. Any cuts, nicks or puncture wounds I quickly pour that stuff on. Yep. It hurts. I want to make sure I clean it out! If the wound is small and the object looks fairly clean I hit it with tea tree oil and later in the day with Neosporin. And I keep on doing that. Oh, did I also mention that I'm allergic to penicillin? I hope you heal cleanly without any problems. Blessings on you and your family and friends and your homestead!
🐈⬛🦋🖖👍🇺🇲
Know exactly what you mean!
@@forrestgump9576 Forrest! I haven't seen your lighthouse in a while. Hope you are doing okay!
Take care of yourself. Your family needs you at 100% and we don’t like seeing you get hurt either.
Awesome job 👌, at least your ok , didn't cut it off ,"A" ..take it easy for while bud , we will all pray 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you to heal fast
Wow Heath, your description was solid and none of us need to pile on and tell you how serious a staph infection can be. 100 years ago that first infection would have taken you out, so you are lucky (as am I, for several similar stories). Take care of that wound, and get into the doctor sooner next time (gee, how many times have you heard that this past week)?
I hope this helps you Heath, blessings to you and your family.
That intro Heath Wowzers super cute loved it ! Thank you !
REST! Your health affects the whole family. Take care and be blessed.
Yes take it easy, we are all sending love and blessings your way. So just rest up , and Im sure some interesting ideas and plans will come your way. x
Having suffered a pretty bad chainsaw cut myself... I can say with confidence that you ALWAYS engage the brake as soon as your saw is off of what you're cutting. ALWAYS. Pull the saw up, pop your wrist forward to engage it.
I agree with you. I have never seen Heath use his chain brake. I also learned the hard way, its there for a good reason. Proper boots and chaps would help too.
Cool opening scene. The where am I at the end sold it nicely. I wonder how many folks noticed it wasn't your front yard view.
get well soon , your channel keeps me sane, god bless you and yours
Heath don't let that foot healing get away from you, if it drains yellow, green or other yuck it's infection. Notify your doctor asap to stay ahead to have a fast recovery. I hope you have anti-microbial dressing/wound care and keep it clean.
So sorry you got hurt. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I do have a few thoughts for you on the antibiotic thing. Every single medical intervention we perform has risks. Good medicine is skillful balancing of risk vs. benefit. The doctors have the knowledge and the experience to make these judgements for us, and a good doctor will prescribe with a healthy respect for all of the risks involved. We have to trust their judgement. If you don't trust your doctor, you need to find one that you do. Someone that will really listen to your concerns and will take the time to explain to your satisfaction why they are recommending the course of action that they are. Please take your pills as prescribed. Once again, I will send a prayer up for your complete recovery.
You are such a hard worker but it’s important to take the time needed so your body can heal. If you don’t, you may end up with a more serious complication and a longer recovery time. The ranch will still be there when you’re back up on your feet so for now, put your feet up and enjoy the break! Hopefully you’ll be feeling better soon!
Me and my wife pray for all of you it’s just the best just watching you all good family value love what you all stand for keep up the good work and we live in Mesa Arizona we will be watching you all the time
Dang….that’s a gnarly cut. I almost lost my leg to a staph infection about 20 years ago - the 5th round of increasingly intense antibiotics thankfully did the trick (the dr had already scheduled the amputation), but that infection left my right leg weak. I also spent my first 25-30 years on antibiotics constantly and it ruined my gut & immune system.
I’m glad you didn’t do irreparable damage to your foot.
I don't know why in the hell you would be wanting to clear anything on the new land until fall and early winter. On top of not having the proper PPE when using a dam chain saw or any tools and equipment. Come on Heath!! You have a family to be worried about!! Plan your work and work your plan!!
He can't help it. Pride and stubbornness are his gifts/talents.
@@MsCaterific Oh yeah
This is like the 5th or 6th time he has done something stupid and hurt himself within the last year
I am his neighbor. The hotter it gets the worst the soil gets. We are actually doing the same thing. When the rains come then you can loose a piece of equipment to the instant snotty mud. It better to clean it up and plant seeds from the fall rain.
@@MsCaterific From my perspective his talents are much more vast then you give him credit for. Men make mistakes. We learn from them
I received a bad friction burn to a calf muscle from a concrete blade saw, it took over a year to heal fully. Anyone who has ever received a cut from a grinder disc knows what I'm talking about. It doesn't cut, it removes material, I can't imagine anything worse than a chainsaw . Get well soon Heath, stay off your feet, you deserve a rest.
I have one on my knuckle right now that's almost healed. It happened last week.
Toss the box, son jumps out - "That was awesome " 🤪🐿🦋🦄🤦♂
I had a similar experience with staph infections when I was a teenager and in my 20's. Huge painful boils would just crop up every year or 2. I'm 62 now and haven't had a problem in decades.
Can't believe you threw your kid into that field ;) That was a funny skit, good luck with your foot, feel better soon :)
Wish you a fast recovery ,wish you a healthy and safe life.God bless you and your family
Sorry about your foot. I hope it heals soon. Please now get some proper safety gear before anything worse happens. That could’ve been a leg you lost.
Praying all goes well with you and your foot. 🙏
So sorry that you got hurt. Thank you for sharing your story. It didn't even look like chaps or steal toe boots could have helped. Just a freak accident. Now you can slow down and enjoy your family for a short season.
OMG Heath, Cedar’s gonna pull you by the ear and take you to the doctor because she and we know that you’re not gonna sit still long enough to heal!!! Love y’all ❤️👍👍👍👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
Said it before…love your choice of music on your videos. Sorry for the foot injury 😢 Do stay on top of things like that. My husband came down with staph infections (cellulitis) in his lower leg every few years, then it was every year, then 2-3 times per year, and each time it was a little worse, eventually spreading to his other leg, requiring hospitalization at least 3 times. We learned that even athlete’s foot can provide a gateway for the bacteria, so try to avoid that and any other breaks in the skin. Glad you went in to have it checked!
I hope that you are okay Heath
,OMG, you are so lucky. I'm sure you got an earful from your beautiful wife. Prayers for a strong recovery.
Hope and pray you heal quickly and can get back to working on the property and that all is well have a good day and take it easy let it heal up
Very good dude, I'll be over and get the beer real cold, maybe not I'm in Hawaii but good for you, take it easy.
My husband was out cutting a tree when our son was only nine months. The tree was caught up in grape vines and it kicked the chain saw out. He had to get 18 stitches in his leg. He was lectured at the hospital about cutting wood alone. He was only about 300 feet from the house. They told him it was only a centimeter from a artery and if he had hit it he would have bleed out before he reached the house. Please be careful accidents happen to quick. That was fourthyone years ago and now I still always go with him and have our cell phones on use. We cut on 100 acres in Ohio.
Man, I hope you’re doing ok. Just wanted to say you are an outstanding inspiration for me even though I’m old enough to be your father. Some of the things you do are questionable I do respect your intentions
Refreshing honesty as always. Heal well
Oh man...praying for a quick heal...my dad cut his leg right under his knee with a chainsaw chipped his bone up it was a mess...he got a staph infection from that as well...took awhile but it healed for him..good luck to you friend...and take it a little easy..
Chaps, helmet, hearing protection, face shield, and cutter boots. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
What a shitty deal Heath. Could happen to any of us farmers/'steaders. Fingers crossed for a smooth speedy recovery
Glad you're alright! 🙏🏻❤️👍🏻👊🏻
Heath - please get some boots rated for chainsaws as well as chainsaw-chaps! You mentioned you would have rather had it hit your knee...you don't want that anywhere near your legs especially if you're alone in the woods with the saw! I've been following you for years and the sawing without protection has been the only thing that made me wince! I hope you heal soon without long-term issues. All the best!
My thoughts a nd prayers are with you. Now you are forced to take it a little easy. I hope everything goes well a nd your back soon. So take care, stay safe a nd be well. Bob Bitchin!!
I had a similar incident but lucky I was not hurt, the bottom of my boot had a nice grove in it. Take the time to heal. Thank you for sharing and open. Have a great day.
I feel for you on this one I know exactly what you're going through when I was a kid I stepped on a rusty nail and it went almost completely went through my foot and I end up getting a staph infection fortunately though the antibiotics and so forth they put me on I didn't have your problem is continuous staph infections everybody's a little different though hope you get well soon always enjoy watching your videos big fan of you and your family I hope and pray you get well soon
Prayers for your healing 🙏
Thats no joke... Stay safe, and hope it wil heal soon!
Please wear protective clothes for chainsaws! It depends on how fast your chainsaw runs (meter per second). S1 protective clothes are up to 20m/s and s2 are up to 24m/s.
You should wear those special clothes! Stay safe!
Have a speedy recovery my friend.
I had Staph a few times from Jiu-jitsu as a young kid. Its no joke. Hope you the quickest recovery.
Praise God you still have a foot.
Prayers for a swift and complete healing 🙏
Get well soon, you were lucky start considering self-preservation a little PPE goes along way to avoiding these incidents.
So glad it wasn't worse! I live in the UK and a friend from Kentucky told me all about colloidal silver. I'd never heard of it before but, I decided to get some ( I now make my own). Luckily for me, (or unlucky) I had cause to use it. I enjoy DIY and was refurbishing a padded dining chair. I had problems taking out the staples to recover the pad and slipped with the knife, straight into the palm of my hand. Well, blood flowed freely to put it lightly. I rinsed off my hand and wrapped it up after calling my son to help. I had to hold my arm up to help stem the flow and he called an ambulance. By the time they arrived it was settling but, I had started to feel funny, I knew it was the shock but they insisted taking me to the hospital even though the initial bleeding was stemmed. So, off we went. 4 hours later no one had still seen me except a nurse had taken my BP. I was so disgusted (and feeling better) I left and went home. I treated my hand with colloidal silver and covered my palm with lint and a cotton wool padding and bandaged it up. I kept the wound clean by checking daily and poured more silver over it and sprayed it with elastoplast spray ( a glue). That made me jump lol. However, between the silver and the glue it healed up fast, no infection and no scar! I discovered researching silver, it fights mrsa and infections. It can be taken orally for sore throats and ennumerable things and does not have a side effect or affect any other medications. My grandsons have their own small bottle to spray and grazes etc since they saw what it did for me. It doesn't sting either. I can highly recommend it as an emergency standby it really does work. I use it as a nasal spray too to prevent colds and gargle regularly. You can swallow it too. I was so grateful to my cherokee friend!!!
I use colloidal silver as a nasal spray to stop sinus infections. It seems to work well!
May it heal fast !
Bless you 🙏
Guess you are being forced to stop & smell the roses, LOL. And being the person you are, you will have a clipboard in your lap, listing all the big and little projects you intend to do for the next little while. I still remember the whiteboard in your 'just dried in' living room, that you would cross items off as you went.
i use these boots very comfortable! HAIX Airpower XR200 |Get well soon Heath,
Heath we hope you heal well. Take it from someone that is lucky to be alive in spite of my unwillingness to take Antib, MRSA is a sneaky bitty! It will feed off the staff and you will be fine one moment and the next you will be fighting for your life! MRSA is no joke. You deserve to take good care of yourself. Cedar and your wonderful children need you. We will say a prayer each day for your recovery. God Bless
Hahahaha - "not the sharpest tool in the shed" I'm sorry. I'm afraid I would have looked at you in the same way had you come into our doctor's clinic. Glad you are recovering
