Hey Casey, I have a colostomy. It is herniated about the size of a softball, I’m retired so I just live with it. I’m wishing you a speedy recovery, and please take care of yourself I really enjoy your videos!
Having an ileostomy myself for over 25 years I know its easy to get complacent and over-do it. There are a lot of ostomy support belts out there that can help. Sometimes I will double up with an ileostomy belt, special appliance, and a standard back belt. My doc simply said to "take my foot off the gas". Cudos for showing people you can live a normal life with an ostomy with some care.
Thanks for being so open about this man. I had no idea how many people have ostomys. I hope you heal up quickly and now I have even more appreciation not only for this channel but how much you do to help others through rescue and education.
Early last spring I bought a magnetic induction heater ahead of working on an old tractor. It works really well for something like that, applying extreme localized heat to a fastener.
@@sak778 I was loosening wheel assy nuts on the tractor in my profile pic that had not been off in 25yrs. The rims rusted out around the Schrader valves and needed to be repaired.
@@oldretireddude I used them to heat up the body mount nuts to pull a cab off an f350. Just fished it thru the access holes in the cab floor and got the nuts glowing, then zipped the bolts out like butter...
body shop near me has one works great when they need to get bolts broke loose and half the car is plastic .. they removed bumper bolts with out breaking the bumper or the bolts ..
Wheel seals 101, all the above that you stated plus one other thing. If the vent tube is plugged or blocked and the differential gets hot, the oil will off gas, creating pressure in the bearing hub and blowing out the weakest seal first to releave the pressure. As for your hernia, that sucks man, take it easy and I know the belt sucks, but it prevents you from doing further damage.. Stay Safe and great content, thanks for the share!
I wear my hernia belt to support my stoma every day due to multiple hernias. Wearing the belt isn't the most comfy but hernias are far worse. I've had 5 in total.....My rule is simple, I just do not lift heavy stuff using my core any more. Good luck with your surgery!

If the truck has a rear drum brake and a failed axle seal, it's possible to remove the axle shaft and then the nut and bearings with the wheel jacked up just enough. You put a plate or sheet of heavy material down on a reasonably level surface. You soap the plate. Thick soap or tire butter. With the height right and no load upon the tires, you remove the bearing by pulling the assembled dual rear wheels. You just slide them and use a long bar. With the drum exposed by turning it around, you change the seal etc. Remove your flat plate floor material. Clean up, do brakes and or hydraulics accordingly. You are ready to assemble with good axle seal installed. Put your floor plate back down, lube. Position the dually and slide it back in looking through the center and around behind to get it lined up. Once it's home with the seal engaging properly at your preset height and centered, you put in the outer bearing and nut. You put a new axle shaft o'ring on if required. You assemble the axle shaft. You get your floor material out. You're able to finish by lifting one side, then the other, and topping up the diff. You've bled wheel cylinder after setting the pedal pressure as required for a final check. You adjust the shoes to the drum accordingly during the process. You never touched the lugnuts. This works, and it doesn't matter how big the dually is because it's weight is on that floor skid. Bob's your uncle. No hernia. No medical issues. Don't tell anyone. It's your secret. Hope you get well soon but ask about complications for hernia surgery because there are some issues that make their methods questionable. At least there were. Hope they solved them now.

I said I would pop the top if one of the other guys would get the engine hoist. He wanted to manhandle the crate to the ground and I asked him if he had ever had a hernia. He said, "Yes." I said I haven't and don't want one, so we'll use the engine hoist to hoist the engine. I had no doubt that we might have been able to get the engine to the ground by hand, but if someone's foot slips or they lose grip, the dynamics change, and all of a sudden someone gets hurt.
Casey, I'm sorry to hear you have hurt yourself. Whoever put those wheels on last should be sought out and taught a lesson. I hope your issue is easily remedied and healing goes much quicker than expected. I really enjoy your videos. I spent a couple weeks with friends in Bend a decade ago and you show some of the places I was shown when I was able to be there. Your attention to detail and your ability to explain what you're doing and why is really appreciated.
They're all like that U-haul is so worried about a tire falling off and getting sued that they use some kind of lock tight. Mostly Just the doolies are this bad...
Happened to me after my illeostomy reversal in '19. Had hernia operation in March this year, my hernia had ended up the size of a football lol. I was very self conscious of its size....day of the hernia op I weighed in at 126kg, next day after op I was 119kg, the 7 kg was fluid the body created to protect the bowel outside of muscles....I'm now at 110kg (self imposed weight loss, my height is 6ft2, I'm aiming for 100kg) Biggest issue was I carried around 2 drain bottles for just over a week, draining the blood and fluid still in the area. Returned to work after 2 weeks on light duties for 6 weeks. Still careful even now about ripping the hernia repair..... Casey, I just say be careful for a while after the op and don't be the hero thinking "I'm ok"
Casey, Keep the Big Picture in Mind, Your Family, They need you more than we need to see another video right away, Take it easy, Listen to the Doctors and get well soon.
Catching up on your older videos 😊 I hope that you are healed❤️🙏 You do so much for others, just make sure to take care of YOU! God bless and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
You are an inspiration Casey. I'm 64, had 3 hernias, busted 3 vertabrae, down to bone on bone in my right knee and still doing 2 jobs.. but.. not with an iliostomy (probably spelt wrong).. I love your honesty mate.. Also I've never seen snow, fascinates me..
I wish you a speedy recovery. It is exponentially easier to start the nuts moving when you have all the vehicle weight bearing down on the wheel. Back when I did roadside briefly, I would sometimes get ahead of myself and jack up a vehicle before I'd systematically loosened all the nuts. Sometimes I could use brakes to hold the wheel sufficiently still, and proceed to swap out the wheel anyway. Sometimes, not. I'd have to lower it back down completely. Be safe.
So sorry to learn about the injury. By now you are better I hope. Thank you for helping the USMC Vet. You continue to what the real "American Spirit" is.
So glad you didn't get what I was afraid of which was that tire blowing up in your face. Anyway you are probably right about the locktight. That flair up is exactly they way locktight does. Someone did that because that wheel wasn't staying tight I'll bet. Couldn't figure out what was causing the problem and took that short cut. I'm betting the wheel seal problem will become clearer as this progresses. Hope you get better soon.
Having worked in health care I learned one thing. If something is wrong take care of it sooner not later when your whole body is hurting. You want to be able to see your daughter grow up and you want to continue doing what you do. Take it easy get the surgery done and get completely well. Please!!!!. Paying for you.
Had one for four years. Mine didn't hurt to bad but at times it was a bit rough. I had mine fixed in the Navy then had to have it repaired again. Never a fun thing but it's nice to have it gone. Hope all goes well for you.
Im 49 and have had a bag for over half my life and also have had a few hernias repaired. My intestines did whats called prolapsing into my bag. It was scary to have it take up the whole bag. I lived with it for years carefully. It happened twice until they had to make my colostomy an ileostomy and move it to the other side and get a Barbie Butt they call it ! lol Take it easy until you know whats up !
I am glad I happened to see this one. Take care of yourself and that beautiful family. I have had 2 hernia surgeries with complicated repairs but nothing like you.
Casey, I've had two hernias repaired. #1 I had from childhood, wore a truss for many years, finally had surgery at 25. #2 I didn't know I had it until CAT required an intensive physical before I changed assignments and had surgery on it. Recovery after the surgery was not a long process but recovery immediately after the surgery nearly killed me. I thought I was gonna die 3 wks after the first, so went to the doc's off. and the nurse pulled the stitches===immediate relief. Second surgery, doc wanted me up immediately after (first doc did too). Well, getting up immediately after having a "spinal block" instead of a local or general anesth. is a no-no. The fluid for a spinal is lighter than the spinal fluid, so it goes up to your brain and hello MONSTER HEADACHE!!!! i HAD 20 hrs of horror. But after three weeks I could go to work. I realize by now you've probably had the surgery but if not beware.....
Casey, I'm 72 and like you only quite a bit bigger... I did wear size 36 jeans cause the were comfortable an making the 34's fit restricted some movement as my shoulders were 52 inches tight with a seventeen inch collar... six foot even and 250... up and down five pounds with seventeen inch guns. In other words a lot of iron was jacked in the military an was entered into army olympics. Yes too big for having normal fun. I started getting hernias and tried to bargain.. and it nearly cost me my life twice so think hard about how serious that you take them. I worked real hard and hard labor jobs as a mechanic. Heavy equipment mech. I lost so much weight when I broke most of my back and neck in a serious accident. I was placed in a coma and later when brought too this world again skin just hung on me, I looked like a freak and it did tear me up in my head too thinking about my future. That was seventeen years ago almost. I had layers of skin removed from my arms and some corrective stuff done on the neck area. Once you loose it, it just doesn't come back at a older age. Now I look like a damn foot ball for a physical body shape and hope for better times. I can appreciate the work done on that ten and a half sterling rear end as they can be real nasty to get apart. In fact "watch wes work" did one here recent an it was a bear. Just think before you do something you can't undo
Rule of thumb when trying to loosen any hardware always use your body weight in pushing down on your wrench not pulling up as it strains your every muscle and cause issues.
Know your strive. Three months ago I was told I possibly had "A" hernia. Well my primary care provider said. Got checked out by the surgeon and he said the same. I recall the clock on the was at 10ish in the am. Next thing I'm hearing, Mr Sandoval wake-up. I was in the recovery room. It was after one pm. Being under some crazy medication I didn't pay much attention. When I was told I had double hernias and a 4 to 5 inch incision... I'm like what happened.
Casey, I enjoy your Channel and your contents, you really go to great lengths to explain what you are doing and why! It’s probably why I could never start a TH-cam channel, I’m sure you get absolutely picked apart by the arm chair quarterbacks! The way I figure, you are in the business of towing and doing repairs, you do what is right for you and what you know best! I am amazed at what you do with your physical issues! Keep up the great work! You don’t have to explain anything to me, just keep giving us great content and enjoy your family and life. PS the tracks on the Cherokee are the best!!!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. I had a hiatal hernia back in 07 that took months to heal after surgery. I’m just like you I do what I’m going to do and deal with what happens.
Casey, I hope your prognosis is good and not to drastic. Pushing oneself is something that drive’s people when you want the best for your family and loved ones. It is hard to slow down and from what I see you are an over achiever. Take care and be careful.
Inadvertently you have added to the ostomy series! I sure hope that this will be an easy fix, Casey! You put out great videos and provide excellent tours of places that many of us only read about! Please take care of yourself, I have learned often the hard way that the older you get the easier things break on our one off body. If you are going to do brute work get brute work reducing tools like a 1 inch drive impact wrench or a 4 to 1 torque multiplier. Better yet stick to the scan tools and test light! Stay safe, heal up soon and don't break yourself!
Sorry I missed the broken 1 inch drive tool as I guess I am visual person. I did hear that but only saw and remembered the smaller stuff being used! Really hope this is a simple thing to fix! Stay strong and safe!
@@CaseyLaDelle sounds like someone used lock tight on the threads .. over 10 years now I have had a neck injury and then a year after that lower back injury I have titanium in both locations .. plus nerve damage in lower back .. well I am told to take it easy for most times I do . I have stirred up problems when using a breaker bar ,, part breaks loose my head snaps forward . pinches the nerve in my neck then my arm feels like it's on fire for a few mins .. or I will stir up my lower back .. then I am sitting around 3 too 7 days till my back calms down ,,, I am not preaching ,, just be careful ..I am very clumsy now since my injury's .. keep up the great videos
I'm a U Haul technician, those lug nuts are torqued to 475 ft pounds. The only substance on them are copper antisieze. Since you heated them, all the studs and nuts have to be replaced now as that's Uhaul policy, they could fail at any time now that the temper has been changed. Also if you are going to heat any wheel with a tire mounted it should be deflated so it doesn't over pressurize and explode in your face. Work safe and put out a safe product for the customer.
I had a simple "you picked up too much!" Type of hernia. Never tell your acupuncture guy you have a scar that causes you discomfort! He put a bunch of needles in that spot and it lit it up like a lightning bolt! Lots of fun!
Well Casey sorry to hear that you have a hernia. Wish you a speedy recovery when and if you need surgery. Your smart enough to protect yourself until then. As everyone including me will tell you that you should be relaxing and not doing strenuous work, but as stubborn as we are we keep doing what we shouldn't be doing. Anyhoo get a helper for all your tasks on the business level side so that you don't hurt yourself any further. Good luck and take care of yourself...
G'day Casey.you are a classic case of something I say All the time. The biggest cause of injury in the workpiece is complacency. That being said, I wish you all the very best for your meeting with your doctor
LOL, its a U haul, you know that thing has been loaded down at least once at 2-3 times its "capacity". At least its just a hernia, I saw the torch and the wheel and tire combo. All I could think was what happens when you weld on a wheel with the tire on and pressure in the tire.... That would be much worse, hope you heal quickly, good luck!
Let me tell you something young fellow... Your health is the Most important thing you have and it will always be. You MUST take care of your self. It's your responsibility. Also suggest using your head/weight and not your back/gut. The doctor will most likely use a mesh. My neighbor had 3 and each time the doc used a bigger mesh. The doctor told him never to attempt a sit-up and always use his legs, never his back to pick up a sack of groceries. I enjoy your videos a lot. I wish you the best.
70 degrees and you almost cried big baby LOL it's 70 down here in Arizona and we're hoping for colder weather LOL after a year of over 19 days of 118 degrees Fahrenheit easy to BBQ hard to cool down the house LOL laughter love the video keep them coming.!
Casey, You obviously know about using a torch around a mounted wheel; because You had a water hose at the job site. But for those who don't know, Be very Careful When using a Torch or Welding on a mounted wheel. In the Military, I saw catastrophe results from the rim being heated. Yes a stuck brake can do this also. The pressure in the tire will get so high it will explode, and also if a Tire Stop Leak was used it may be explosive. Anyhow a Big Bang will result. You did have a water hose to cool the rim.
In Sweden there was an accident like that which killed a guy in a tire shop. The leak fix liquid inside exploded. One should always deflate the tire before heating, and also put your nose out to detect a possible explosive. The tire should ideally be off, but in Casey's situation unfortunately not possible with dual wheels ☹ Be aware and careful guys 🤘
All the best Casey going by the comments you have supporters who have associated problems in this area,look after your self,but food must still put on the table.😊
It's too bad that you can't select the time when you want to have an injury sideline you. Mu dearly departed father had 3 double hernia surgeries over the years. The year before he died, he had one of the mesh patches blow out doubling him up in pain. The surgeon this time was an extremely good surgeon that probably does 7-10 hernias a week and pain management has come a long way. He received a Pain Ball with a narcotic inside that slowly dispensed to alleviate pain, and it worked. The surgery was a success. Casey, the military use to issue with the M35 and 809 series trucks a torque multiplier that was geared and used 2 bars for leverage. I've used it on a couple of occasions to break loose the lugs on my M923. Once loose, the Milwaukee impact spins them off with no issues. I've got a one inch torque wrench that is close to 7 feet long and works well for torquing the lugs back to spec or 1050 ft/lbs.
Years ago I was given a free convertible couch. To make a long story short, while getting it in to my house I lifted wrong and tore one of the two parts of my right biceps off at the elbow. It sounded like a muffled gun shot to me, my buddy asked why I dropped the couch, then saw that I was in pain and asked "did you hurt your back?". It took me a few seconds to catch my breath and figure out what just happened, then I said "I think I tore something in my right arm, you didn't hear it ?" he said no. Anyway three days later I had surgery to reattach what had pulled away from the bone. They had to cut both the inside and the outside of my elbow, effectively going all the way through to pull the torn end of the muscle back to the outside of my elbow to reattach it where it belonged, right where your elbow would contact a table if you were sitting with your hands down on it. I couldn't use my right arm for three months. Luckily I haven't had any major problems with it since.
Casey, when you get stuff that hot you need to let it air cool for some time before you finish with water. You cool it that fast right away with water you may end up with hardened bolts that may be brittle and may fail on you while driving, Hope you're healing well and feeling better.
Casey, have you ever tried using a welder, on DC, connect the two leads at points as close as can be done. Like on the stud end and the other on the nut. Turn on welder at around 80-100:amps. It will get very hot very quick. When it's cherry red remove clamp and let it cool down, cooling slowly will remove the temper so it has to be cooled a little faster but not to fast or it will make the parts brittle.
Casey, you’ve just dodged a bullet, and now you’re dancing in the target area... ‘cos “you’re ok”. I’ve lost 3 good friends from simple appendicitis. ‘Yeah, it’s painful, but I’m a man and can’t let the family down” they all said it, and the all perished from peritonitis. Take it easy, do as you’re told, and find another way to keep some money coming in. Hire a strong guy and stay in the wings supervising. Yeah, I know you lose out… paying an extra wage, but at least you’ll keep some income on the books, even if it’s down on the usual. You need to be around to fight another day. Rant over, and God bless you. ❤️🇬🇧🇷🇴👍🏻

And yet I know there are others who have gone through even more than I have. Glad you’re doing good Casey!!
I had an ostomy. I was told if I didn't do anything for at least a year I could get it removed. It has now been two years ostomy free. I am super careful. I will NOT have another one if I can help it. Good luck with yours and I hope it has healed nicely.
Been there done that 2 times. (Robot) fixed it and abdominal hernia same setting. Crazy, Doc on one side of the room looking at a screen and hand controls and I was on a table on the other side of the room? You know the recovery routine, no fun .
I was a tire changer for 11 years and learned early on you never pick up on the breaker bar ALWAYS set it up to push down less injures that way
I learned that too as a heavy duty mechanic, until one day doing the same situation when I was pushing down on the breaker bar, when broke loose, some object on the ground interfered with my finger and ripped the nail right off! So! Make sure the grounds clear!
Less force pushing down. Just don't use your asshole when picking up
It's always down with open hands!
Yeah man hope you get better. But you should always push down on a breaker bar. Never ever pull up.
Changing grader tires we used the tractor loader to lift the cheater pipe
Please be careful, Casey, there's too few good people like you to go around. Hope you have a good prognosis and quick recovery.
JESUS! I was thinking the tire exploded. I hope well and on the mend. God Bless and BE FREAKING CAREFUL
a long time ago I work in a welding/ag repair shop and a gentleman who had been working for the better half of 50 years saw me trying to break some 1-1/2 bolts lose on a planter he stopped he from pulling up on a 48” breaker bar and told me that you always push instead of pull you get more leverage pushing down and if need to slide a piece of pipe on it and you can move almost anything I did and it worked I still use his advice to this day

You get your floor material out.
You're able to finish by lifting one side, then the other, and topping up the diff. You've bled wheel cylinder after setting the pedal pressure as required for a final check. You adjust the shoes to the drum accordingly during the process.
You never touched the lugnuts.
This works, and it doesn't matter how big the dually is because it's weight is on that floor skid.

Happened to me after my illeostomy reversal in '19. Had hernia operation in March this year, my hernia had ended up the size of a football lol. I was very self conscious of its size....day of the hernia op I weighed in at 126kg, next day after op I was 119kg, the 7 kg was fluid the body created to protect the bowel outside of muscles....I'm now at 110kg (self imposed weight loss, my height is 6ft2, I'm aiming for 100kg)
Biggest issue was I carried around 2 drain bottles for just over a week, draining the blood and fluid still in the area. Returned to work after 2 weeks on light duties for 6 weeks. Still careful even now about ripping the hernia repair.....
Casey, I just say be careful for a while after the op and don't be the hero thinking "I'm ok"
Casey, Keep the Big Picture in Mind, Your Family, They need you more than we need to see another video right away, Take it easy, Listen to the Doctors and get well soon.
Catching up on your older videos 😊 I hope that you are healed❤️🙏 You do so much for others, just make sure to take care of YOU! God bless and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your condition. We all hope for the best. Take care.
Good Luck on your surgery when you have it Casey.
Please take care of yourself. You have a great story to finish writing.
You are an inspiration Casey. I'm 64, had 3 hernias, busted 3 vertabrae, down to bone on bone in my right knee and still doing 2 jobs.. but.. not with an iliostomy (probably spelt wrong).. I love your honesty mate.. Also I've never seen snow, fascinates me..
I just had that surgery 3 months ago. Expect them to tell you that your laid out for two weeks and no stressful work. I pushed mine to the limit also.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
It is exponentially easier to start the nuts moving when you have all the vehicle weight bearing down on the wheel.
Back when I did roadside briefly, I would sometimes get ahead of myself and jack up a vehicle before I'd systematically loosened all the nuts.
Sometimes I could use brakes to hold the wheel sufficiently still, and proceed to swap out the wheel anyway. Sometimes, not. I'd have to lower it back down completely.
Be safe.
So sorry to learn about the injury. By now you are better I hope. Thank you for helping the USMC Vet. You continue to what the real "American Spirit" is.
So glad you didn't get what I was afraid of which was that tire blowing up in your face. Anyway you are probably right about the locktight. That flair up is exactly they way locktight does. Someone did that because that wheel wasn't staying tight I'll bet. Couldn't figure out what was causing the problem and took that short cut.
I'm betting the wheel seal problem will become clearer as this progresses.
Hope you get better soon.
Having worked in health care I learned one thing. If something is wrong take care of it sooner not later when your whole body is hurting. You want to be able to see your daughter grow up and you want to continue doing what you do. Take it easy get the surgery done and get completely well. Please!!!!. Paying for you.
Praying for you.
Casey. Praying for you. Listen to your body.
Had one for four years. Mine didn't hurt to bad but at times it was a bit rough. I had mine fixed in the Navy then had to have it repaired again. Never a fun thing but it's nice to have it gone. Hope all goes well for you.
Good luck buddy, speedy recovery mate.
I have a colostomy with a massive hernia and I also have a urostomy! So I feel your pain! I've had 56 surgeries in 20 years for internal problems!
Im 49 and have had a bag for over half my life and also have had a few hernias repaired. My intestines did whats called prolapsing into my bag. It was scary to have it take up the whole bag. I lived with it for years carefully. It happened twice until they had to make my colostomy an ileostomy and move it to the other side and get a Barbie Butt they call it ! lol Take it easy until you know whats up !
Good luck and all the best for a complete and speedy recovery.
Hope you get your surgery goes well and your recovery is good. Thanks for sharing Casey.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
I am glad I happened to see this one. Take care of yourself and that beautiful family. I have had 2 hernia surgeries with complicated repairs but nothing like you.
Man, so sorry to hear this. Brother, I'm twice your age and paying for all this kind of stuff I did when I was younger. Be good to yourself.
Hernias are no joke. Mine was painful. You are one tough guy. Hope all goes well with surgeon. Maybe easier fix than your thinking.
Casey, I've had two hernias repaired. #1 I had from childhood, wore a truss for many years, finally had surgery at 25. #2 I didn't know I had it until CAT required an intensive physical before I changed assignments and had surgery on it. Recovery after the surgery was not a long process but recovery immediately after the surgery nearly killed me. I thought I was gonna die 3 wks after the first, so went to the doc's off. and the nurse pulled the stitches===immediate relief. Second surgery, doc wanted me up immediately after (first doc did too). Well, getting up immediately after having a "spinal block" instead of a local or general anesth. is a no-no. The fluid for a spinal is lighter than the spinal fluid, so it goes up to your brain and hello MONSTER HEADACHE!!!! i HAD 20 hrs of horror. But after three weeks I could go to work.
I realize by now you've probably had the surgery but if not beware.....
Casey, I'm 72 and like you only quite a bit bigger... I did wear size 36 jeans cause the were comfortable an making the 34's fit restricted some movement as my shoulders were 52 inches tight with a seventeen inch collar... six foot even and 250... up and down five pounds with seventeen inch guns. In other words a lot of iron was jacked in the military an was entered into army olympics. Yes too big for having normal fun. I started getting hernias and tried to bargain.. and it nearly cost me my life twice so think hard about how serious that you take them. I worked real hard and hard labor jobs as a mechanic. Heavy equipment mech. I lost so much weight when I broke most of my back and neck in a serious accident. I was placed in a coma and later when brought too this world again skin just hung on me, I looked like a freak and it did tear me up in my head too thinking about my future. That was seventeen years ago almost. I had layers of skin removed from my arms and some corrective stuff done on the neck area. Once you loose it, it just doesn't come back at a older age. Now I look like a damn foot ball for a physical body shape and hope for better times. I can appreciate the work done on that ten and a half sterling rear end as they can be real nasty to get apart. In fact "watch wes work" did one here recent an it was a bear. Just think before you do something you can't undo
Complacent you have become . Impatient you are. Cautious you must become. Bless you God must.
Yoda?
If I counted every time I did something I shouldn't for my back. Yeah, there would be a bunch. Will look forward to your recovering full wellness.
Rule of thumb when trying to loosen any hardware always use your body weight in pushing down on your wrench not pulling up as it strains your every muscle and cause issues.
Hoping everything goes well with the surgeon
Know your strive. Three months ago I was told I possibly had "A" hernia. Well my primary care provider said. Got checked out by the surgeon and he said the same. I recall the clock on the was at 10ish in the am. Next thing I'm hearing, Mr Sandoval wake-up. I was in the recovery room. It was after one pm. Being under some crazy medication I didn't pay much attention. When I was told I had double hernias and a 4 to 5 inch incision... I'm like what happened.
Casey, I enjoy your Channel and your contents, you really go to great lengths to explain what you are doing and why! It’s probably why I could never start a TH-cam channel, I’m sure you get absolutely picked apart by the arm chair quarterbacks! The way I figure, you are in the business of towing and doing repairs, you do what is right for you and what you know best! I am amazed at what you do with your physical issues! Keep up the great work! You don’t have to explain anything to me, just keep giving us great content and enjoy your family and life. PS the tracks on the Cherokee are the best!!!
So Sorry about your accident. Take care.-- starting now.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. I had a hiatal hernia back in 07 that took months to heal after surgery. I’m just like you I do what I’m going to do and deal with what happens.
Casey, I hope your prognosis is good and not to drastic. Pushing oneself is something that drive’s people when you want the best for your family and loved ones. It is hard to slow down and from what I see you are an over achiever. Take care and be careful.
Inadvertently you have added to the ostomy series!
I sure hope that this will be an easy fix, Casey! You put out great videos and provide excellent tours of places that many of us only read about!
Please take care of yourself, I have learned often the hard way that the older you get the easier things break on our one off body.
If you are going to do brute work get brute work reducing tools like a 1 inch drive impact wrench or a 4 to 1 torque multiplier.
Better yet stick to the scan tools and test light! Stay safe, heal up soon and don't break yourself!
I have a 1" drive impact and hammered on those nuts so hard that I broke the 1" drive impact socket.
Sorry I missed the broken 1 inch drive tool as I guess I am visual person. I did hear that but only saw and remembered the smaller stuff being used! Really hope this is a simple thing to fix! Stay strong and safe!
@@CaseyLaDelle sounds like someone used lock tight on the threads .. over 10 years now I have had a neck injury and then a year after that lower back injury I have titanium in both locations .. plus nerve damage in lower back .. well I am told to take it easy for most times I do . I have stirred up problems when using a breaker bar ,, part breaks loose my head snaps forward . pinches the nerve in my neck then my arm feels like it's on fire for a few mins .. or I will stir up my lower back .. then I am sitting around 3 too 7 days till my back calms down ,,, I am not preaching ,, just be careful ..I am very clumsy now since my injury's .. keep up the great videos
Ouch! Dang, take care. Get well soon.
I'm a U Haul technician, those lug nuts are torqued to 475 ft pounds. The only substance on them are copper antisieze. Since you heated them, all the studs and nuts have to be replaced now as that's Uhaul policy, they could fail at any time now that the temper has been changed. Also if you are going to heat any wheel with a tire mounted it should be deflated so it doesn't over pressurize and explode in your face. Work safe and put out a safe product for the customer.
Incorrect, that hub had been taken apart and rebuilt by someone else.
Get well, be well. Take care of yourself.
Get better soon bud it sucks when you are limited in what you can do
Oh man I have had 8of them and I feel for ya hoping and thanking of ya
I had a simple "you picked up too much!" Type of hernia. Never tell your acupuncture guy you have a scar that causes you discomfort!
He put a bunch of needles in that spot and it lit it up like a lightning bolt!
Lots of fun!
Well Casey sorry to hear that you have a hernia. Wish you a speedy recovery when and if you need surgery. Your smart enough to protect yourself until then. As everyone including me will tell you that you should be relaxing and not doing strenuous work, but as stubborn as we are we keep doing what we shouldn't be doing. Anyhoo get a helper for all your tasks on the business level side so that you don't hurt yourself any further. Good luck and take care of yourself...
Good diagnosis Casey
G'day Casey.you are a classic case of something I say All the time. The biggest cause of injury in the workpiece is complacency. That being said, I wish you all the very best for your meeting with your doctor
hope you heal , I have done that before , we used to have a gear reduction for truck tires on the side of the road
Sorry you got injured… always take better care of yourself than anything else you do.
LOL, its a U haul, you know that thing has been loaded down at least once at 2-3 times its "capacity". At least its just a hernia, I saw the torch and the wheel and tire combo. All I could think was what happens when you weld on a wheel with the tire on and pressure in the tire.... That would be much worse, hope you heal quickly, good luck!
Let me tell you something young fellow... Your health is the Most important thing you have and it will always be. You MUST take care of your self. It's your responsibility.
Also suggest using your head/weight and not your back/gut. The doctor will most likely use a mesh. My neighbor had 3 and each time the doc used a bigger mesh. The doctor told him never to attempt a sit-up and always use his legs, never his back to pick up a sack of groceries. I enjoy your videos a lot. I wish you the best.
Get well soon and I hope everything goes well when you do end up getting the surgery.
70 degrees and you almost cried big baby LOL it's 70 down here in Arizona and we're hoping for colder weather LOL after a year of over 19 days of 118 degrees Fahrenheit easy to BBQ hard to cool down the house LOL laughter love the video keep them coming.!
Casey, You obviously know about using a torch around a mounted wheel; because You had a water hose at the job site. But for those who don't know, Be very Careful When using a Torch or Welding on a mounted wheel. In the Military, I saw catastrophe results from the rim being heated. Yes a stuck brake can do this also.
The pressure in the tire will get so high it will explode, and also if a Tire Stop Leak was used it may be explosive. Anyhow a Big Bang will result.
You did have a water hose to cool the rim.
I also had a temp gun to monitor the temperature of the hub and the part of the rim that is actually in contact with the tire and air inside of it.
In Sweden there was an accident like that which killed a guy in a tire shop. The leak fix liquid inside exploded. One should always deflate the tire before heating, and also put your nose out to detect a possible explosive. The tire should ideally be off, but in Casey's situation unfortunately not possible with dual wheels ☹ Be aware and careful guys 🤘
Hope all turns out well, stay safe and be careful.
Hope your healing well. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
All the best Casey going by the comments you have supporters who have associated problems in this area,look after your self,but food must still put on the table.😊
It's too bad that you can't select the time when you want to have an injury sideline you.
Mu dearly departed father had 3 double hernia surgeries over the years. The year before he died, he had one of the mesh patches blow out doubling him up in pain. The surgeon this time was an extremely good surgeon that probably does 7-10 hernias a week and pain management has come a long way.
He received a Pain Ball with a narcotic inside that slowly dispensed to alleviate pain, and it worked. The surgery was a success.
Casey, the military use to issue with the M35 and 809 series trucks a torque multiplier that was geared and used 2 bars for leverage. I've used it on a couple of occasions to break loose the lugs on my M923. Once loose, the Milwaukee impact spins them off with no issues. I've got a one inch torque wrench that is close to 7 feet long and works well for torquing the lugs back to spec or 1050 ft/lbs.
Just had my surgery last year. Getting old bites. Speedy recovery
Years ago I was given a free convertible couch. To make a long story short, while getting it in to my house I lifted wrong and tore one of the two parts of my right biceps off at the elbow. It sounded like a muffled gun shot to me, my buddy asked why I dropped the couch, then saw that I was in pain and asked "did you hurt your back?". It took me a few seconds to catch my breath and figure out what just happened, then I said "I think I tore something in my right arm, you didn't hear it ?" he said no. Anyway three days later I had surgery to reattach what had pulled away from the bone. They had to cut both the inside and the outside of my elbow, effectively going all the way through to pull the torn end of the muscle back to the outside of my elbow to reattach it where it belonged, right where your elbow would contact a table if you were sitting with your hands down on it. I couldn't use my right arm for three months. Luckily I haven't had any major problems with it since.
Casey, when you get stuff that hot you need to let it air cool for some time before you finish with water. You cool it that fast right away with water you may end up with hardened bolts that may be brittle and may fail on you while driving, Hope you're healing well and feeling better.
Casey, have you ever tried using a welder, on DC, connect the two leads at points as close as can be done. Like on the stud end and the other on the nut. Turn on welder at around 80-100:amps. It will get very hot very quick. When it's cherry red remove clamp and let it cool down, cooling slowly will remove the temper so it has to be cooled a little faster but not to fast or it will make the parts brittle.
Beautiful night sky!!
That really sucks, Casey!
Hope that you will recover fully and soon!
Hope you get better soon.
Thanks for sharing!
Take care that's a rough surgery.
POR15 will do that. Learned the hard way on some spring bolts. Hope you get to feeling better.
Wish you best of luck
Wish you slow and steady recovery
Prayers sent for a quick recovery!
Casey, you’ve just dodged a bullet, and now you’re dancing in the target area... ‘cos “you’re ok”.
I’ve lost 3 good friends from simple appendicitis.
‘Yeah, it’s painful, but I’m a man and can’t let the family down” they all said it, and the all perished from peritonitis.
Take it easy, do as you’re told, and find another way to keep some money coming in. Hire a strong guy and stay in the wings supervising. Yeah, I know you lose out… paying an extra wage, but at least you’ll keep some income on the books, even if it’s down on the usual.
You need to be around to fight another day.
Rant over, and God bless you. ❤️🇬🇧🇷🇴👍🏻
Hey Casey I am a new subscriber but I think what you do is great not many people like you left in this world I don't know if you read all you comments but if you do by chance I would love to help you get any equipment you might need if so respond back and give me a wish list might be able to help you out thanks for all you do and happy new year!!
David thank you for your offer to Casey. I think we all enjoy watching Casey but to think that somebody like you will help him well you should not too many people like him left in the world how many people like you are left in the world?
@@howtogetoutofbabylon8978 That's true, and even yourself to bother replying positively. Hey david, look up Casey on Google, he might not have time to read every comment but I bet he would welcome your good will and apreciation. I do if it's worth anything. God Bless you all and never give up
What a lovely offer.
Not a great many people like you left in the world either. Bless you David.
Hope things go good for you I've had two hernia it's pain full for a min but not to bad hope all is well
Best of luck for Tuesday Casey, take it easy and rest up until then. 👍
I hope you heal well man . I know those roads, I grew up in that country.
I thought about sharing a bit of my life; but after typing it out and reading it, it felt like I would be hijacking the comments on a video that’s not mine. I’ve been through a lot…some have told me I have to be exaggerating. When I tell them I’m actually leaving parts out, the looks get even more skeptical. And yet I know there are others who have gone through even more than I have. Glad you’re doing good Casey!!
I'm new to your channel and I truly love the videos I've watched so far I'm here to stay
I've had hernia support surgery. Be careful during your recovery.
Wish you a successful recovery. I've known a few that got had that happen to them. Not a good time.
Take care mate . Ease up a little and heal yourself
I had an ostomy. I was told if I didn't do anything for at least a year I could get it removed. It has now been two years ostomy free. I am super careful. I will NOT have another one if I can help it. Good luck with yours and I hope it has healed nicely.
Been there done that 2 times. (Robot) fixed it and abdominal hernia same setting. Crazy, Doc on one side of the room looking at a screen and hand controls and I was on a table on the other side of the room? You know the recovery routine, no fun .
Wish you a speedy recovery
Mr.Casey I hope you are doing well and I hope everything went well with the Dr.❤
