    Luca, you have a long life ahead of you and a few months of rest now are an investment in your future. So be safe, smart, no rush, healing takes time. We love you guys. ❤

      Well said! Rest is an investment in your future and the future of your family! When I am feeling frustrated that I can’t do what I want to do i focus my thoughts on what I get to do! Rest allows us to slow down and savor every aspect of life. I am praying for you and for this rich opportunity in resting to embrace the simplest treasures of life. I’m a gray-haired lady from Louisville, KY who is also finding herself in a place of resting after a major surgery. I too am a very active person so I understand your struggle. But I am finding joy in the simplest and sweetest things and appreciating what others are willing to do to help me through this time and it is making all the difference. Much love and joy to your sweet family!

      Frustration is so very difficult and also so disappointing, but thankfully, you are alive. Yes, there are many things you cannot do but be patient with the healing process and allow yourself to reflect on your life, all that you have, all that you've accomplished and, most of all, your loving family. You are, indeed, loved.

      Luca please look into the Keto diet. This is a brain & body healing diet. channel Dr Berg (vds keto for beginners, keto flu, electroyles), Dr Eckberg, Dr boz and many more. Transition very slowly. Library will have books on keto diet. It's a popular diet now but, was orginally created for people with brain issues.
      You are a kind person Luca for seeing that your wife is emotionally, mentally & physically exhausted. You BOTH have to rest. IT's so important for the body especially the Adrenal glands to get plenty of rest & relaxation other wise you can end up with Adrenal fatigue (dr berg, dr axe, dr lam have vds on this health issue that will create endless exhaustion so you want to avoid this with rest, relatation, clean diet, no alcohol, sleep etc)
      Wishing you & your family all the best. take care from Florida USA 🇺🇸🌊🐬

    Was just telling my husband about your many travel adventures, that I followed, what you have gone through together with the medical issues, and now about your home in Sicily and how you are counting your blessings as life unfolds for you. We are in our 70's and have seen difficult times. My husband, after heart issues, laid on the couch for 6 years with depression in Alaska. And that passed although it was very hard on me and the children and financially. Now... we are retired, living next to our daughter, her family with precious 2 yr old and 6 year old, in Utah and every day is just perfect. Our health is good and we are ok financially. Be encouraged. Every day is a new beginning. And BEAUTIFUL Luce fills my heart with smiles as I know she does with you both.

    I wish you a speedy recovery. Blood Patches are a true miracle. Life will get back to normal, but I know it is hard to be patient. Rest! Rest! Rest! I, too, have had Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension. I had bleeding in my brain, but unlike Luca, I did not have any strokes. I had two blood patches, and the leak stopped. I am so indebted to my amazing doctors, especially my Neurologist. Unfortunately, I have some residual issues, including headaches. I am on a monthly injection of Aimovig which truly has been a lifesaver. Blessings to you and your family.

    Luca, I am so glad you and your family are back in Sicily. During your recovery, let Mother Nature nurture you, bare feet on the ground, time in your olive grove or at the beach, sunlight in your eyes, and on your skin. You and Sarah are the stewards of the land, bringing it back to life. It is more than ok to hire help to move along for both your home and olive grove. most importantly, you are amazing parents to Luce. Love and prayers to your beautiful family ❤❤❤

    • @kindlydude
      @kindlydude Před měsícem +1

      Yes! It's called "grounding". The videos are all over yt. Getting barefoot and getting rubber-soled shoes off your feet and connecting to this big magnet giant called Earth is so important to the flow of Chi in our bodies. Our bodies are 'body-electric' made in God's image. We were made to connect to God's Creation, this universe! Blessings!! 💓💞💓
      p.s. Shoes used to be made with leather or even hemp soles or other natural materials which allowed us to get that flow of energy from Mother Earth more freely ...I remember being more connected to nature as a child & I honestly believe this is one reason!

      Yes, time to pursue other things rather than hard physical labor. Luca could perhaps enroll in some online agriculture and farming-practice classes ...perhaps even for credit through schools in Italy/or Sicily. Also, if they are available he should search for farming/agriculture grants perhaps awarded by Italy/or Sicily ...or even The European Union. Perhaps there are money-grants for special organic practices, or for special rare breeds or special crops. I think it would be wise to investigate. This would give Luca an achievable goal and direction that could be very rewarding ...and perhaps even profitable.

    During the birth of my last child, I986, the spot where I was given a shot into my spine for pain leaked spinal fluid. We were not aware of it until the first time I tried to sit up and get out of bed. It felt like I had been shot in my head. The nurses had me lay back down and that reduced the pain. They kept my bed positioned with my head lower than my feet slightly. They wrapped my torso with a huge band of elastic to put pressure on the leak. It took a few days and when I was able to get out of bed to sit in a chair they knew my spinal leak had healed.
    I clearly remember the pain and dizziness. It was very severe.
    I hope you are able to have complete healing and can adjust to being required to rest. Your beautiful daughter resembles my daughter born then. Focus on what you can do rather than what you cannot. Helping others who are interested in moving there is a great idea!
    God bless you.❤

You have a beautiful and loving child whose love is clearly returned and shared. You three have a special relationship. Your love and understanding is present in all of your videos. Thank you for sharing and we are hoping for the best. My wife survived a devastating heart attack at 52. The cardiologists and surgeons saved her life several times. She died in our family room but was brought back to continue to live a full life. She is still here at age 73. We love each other unconditionally and our lives are good because of that love. Continue to do what you three do so well - love and live.

    Try using ice packs when you get pain. Better than pain killers. It helps with inflammation. Take it slow. It takes time to recover from such an invasive surgery. Be good to yourself.

    • @virginiahuard7831
      @virginiahuard7831 Před měsícem

      This is the best idea! For back pain, I would take an ice pad (similar in size to an American heating bad….12” by 16” inches, perhaps, which I kept in freezer). Even frozen, it would remain flexible. Place in thin linen towel…
      Press to painful area use towel ends to secure in place….or maybe a belt? And just wear it till it’s no longer cold. Ahhhhh, relief!
      Better yet, walk into ocean and sit allowing the chill waters to surround the painful area. That alone would settle painful inflamed areas for a couple of days!
      Also, suggesting, it is good to have courage for that last idea!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗 BETTER THAN PILLS!
      Pills continue, of course if needed….but maybe only I/2 of dose…..wean yourself, if you can….it will help.
      A positive thought:
      You are fortunate that you don’t have to wear a neck brace. Ice works well on the neck also! Put it on quickly to ward off that headache! You have more freedom of movement so can still drive, I see. I say, walk into the ocean till your hat floats! An eexagerration, of course, with a bit of humor. Time is your friend, and your body will tell you what is necessary. Trust that! Ginger from Michigan

    3 years ago my son was diagnosed with cancer. I could not go to visit him in the hospital or go to his wedding, because of the lockdown in my province. My daughter was 30 and diagnosed with RA and couldn't dress herself for months. She travelled around the world with her job and had to leave it. They were both so active and, yes, it was difficult for them. BUT, please you have to relax and do the right thing no matter how hard. Yes, it is hard. You have a wonderful family who just want you back to normal however long that takes. Both mine are absolutely fabulous now which makes me so very happy . Be kind to yourself darling. ❤ From Valencia

I have a problem that is stopping me from caring for my chickens and 8,000 square foot garden now until I go to an appointment May 9th. I have been waiting a while for the appointment then surgery, I have my husband daughter helping with the chickens and a little in the garden.You are young and have many more years ahead of you to take care of the olive trees.Have a wonderful week.

    Sara is such a perfect mother and wife.
    Your land is incredible. How wonderful to be a child growing up there.
    Your daughter has a heart of gold. I love when she was worried about the trees. How she cares for the animals and all life.

      @LuckyBaldwin777 Před měsícem +1

      That is too much pruning for an ornamental olive tree, but those trees are being pruned for production. Olives are very hardy. That's why they have some 1000 year old trees. In a few years, the pruned trees will come back shorter and bushier than ever, which is perfect for production.

Sara, please make some time to take care of yourself. You, too, need rest and don't push yourself too much. Sometimes we have to scale down what we do. Keep the faith. Meanwhile, fresh blood orange juice. Oh, yes. Looking forward to seeing what else you can harvest from the land. Sending hugs to your beautiful family. Luce is getting to be a real little girl. Two! Seems like yesterday when she was born. She remains the happiest child I've ever seen, surely a reflection on her loving parents. Thanks again for sharing with us. Do take it slow.

    I have several dwarf (so called, but always getting too big) fruit trees in my yard in Southern California. I just squeeed one of the last oranges yesterday. It is such a pleasure to have ones own trees, and the flowers are already profuse for this years crop, as we have had two good years of early spring rain. I love catching up with your family on Sunday mornings. I wish everything good for you. Just watched Martijn Doolaard install a copper shower in his cottage in Italian Alps. Do you have a shower over the small tub in the bathroom? If not, this might work until you finish the shower in the other room (but don't do it yourself Luca!)

Take this time to take it easy and heal. I can see from posts here that many are praying for your recovery. Just take it easy for now. I know it is difficult when you have plans, but the healing now is what is important. Hang in there and have patience❤️

Like Sara says being smart about learning as much as you can is best for now. We have to take good care ❤️ and stay blessed by who and what is in our lives. There is a time and season for everything.

    Hi Luca and Sarah , I'm a nurse Ive worked on a Neuro-ICU Ive had alot of patients with Luca's condition. When myelogram doesnt work or cant see , you can go for cerebral angiogram . Its very similar to myelo . Its done by neroradiologists . Might be hard to find one , but 100% sure there are a few in Germany or UK . If blood patches fail you can repeat it or add a glue we use called Onyx . So you have options ❤😊. As for your activity level , correct dont pick up anything heavier than 2-5lbs , no working out or home remodeling. I think you will feel better at sea 🌊 level than at high in the mountains. If you are allowed to take ibuprofen take it , it will help with inflammation. But it may be contraindicated if you are taking a "blood thinner" so check with doctor. If they gave you a pain medication, take it , because gritting your theeth thru pain makes it worse and their isn't a gold medal 🏅 to give if your try to grit thru pain. It will get better , the pain you feel is inflammation pressing on your cervical nerves , ouch ! I know its very painful, like puke pain 😢. Rest up and heal 🙏 ❤😊

    Thank you for answering my two questions! I feel honored! I'm so happy that Luca has come through the surgery and looks well. Sit back and enjoy life for a while. Seeing the trees pruned reminds me of pruning orange trees after the big freeze of 1984/85 in Florida. I was the "puller." That's the person who, after my partner cut them down with a chainsaw, pulls and then lifts and throws the cut branches into the middle of the rows so the bulldozer could come and push them into piles to burn. It was hot and physically demanding work. But I was on a fun crew and had a great boss, and that made all the difference. Luce has grown so much! She's a bundle of energy. You should put up a couple of beehives. Free honey!

  • @elizabethkoobs1060

Each hour with your beautiful baby girl is so precious. Enjoy your girls! Enjoy the view of the sea, and the warmth of the sun on your face. I'm a 65-year-old woman who is not in the best health. My sons live 3K miles away from me. My heart longs for time with my family. Enjoy your beautiful Sara and your precious, amazing little girl. They are treasures! Love always wins!❤️🫶🐈🫏😘

    Dear Luca, I’m happy that you are recovering from your surgery. And yes, it takes time to heal so be patient you have a very supportive wife, which is great and a joyful daughter that makes you smile. Hopefully your parents will come and visit and give you the support and help that you may need at different times. Consider yourself fortunate to have parents that love you. Not everyone has such supportive family members and I’m sure you appreciate them. I do have a suggestion Luca, perhaps you should do the cooking, so Sara doesn’t have to do it and that should be a help To her. Cooking can be therapeutic and not strenuous. As always, I enjoy watching your videos.

    As an early child educator (teacher), I have noticed Luce's vocabulary improve dramatically over the last few months. How wonderful that you speak to her constantly and she is being raised in a bilingual family. My parents are both Italian and all of my cousins are in Italy, but I am in America. Your videos remind me of the beauty and peace in Italy. I hope to return soon. Much love to you.

Bit-by-bit the projects will get done in time; for now, continue to focus upon your healing, draw up some new project plans, and rest. Thankfully, you're not in a wheelchair and you can still walk about your orchards and do things, and enjoy life. "Love always wins", and you're both so very blessed to have each other. When one is down, the other is able to pick up the torch and to carry on. Looking forward to more good news and exciting adventures with you all! God bless!

    Luca, sorry you had post-op pain after Luce's birthday, but I'm glad you are able to be at home to recover with your family. I send you lots of love and healing prayers that there are no more CSF leaks and that you will be pain free soon. Luce's delight in feeding the feral cats is fun to watch. Sara has a lot on her shoulders but she's a strong, courageous, compassionate woman. Wonderful that you gave your olive trees a good "haircut." It should produce more olives later. Take care everyone! ❤💜💙💚 p.s. My brother had a TBI in 2014 from a bike accident. Although he made a remarkable recovery, he still suffers from headaches on and off, which he attributes to cervical issues. He periodically had chiropractic adjustments of his neck, which seems to help. In 1-3% of TBIs they can have CSF leaks with dementia symptoms, but hopefully he doesn't have CSF. Jenny USA
