When I realized today was 5 years from my 1st finger amputation I felt like I should do a video. I'm so glad I did, not only to bring awareness to Raynaud's but to help anyone going through this horrible adventure to know they are not alone. The video has been up about 2 hours and I have already received messages and pictures from others being affected by Raynaud's. One lady is scared and doesn't know what is going to happen to her finger. I remember being right there where she is tonight. So glad she saw this video and reached out to me to ask questions and talk.
I so amazed by you will power to keep doing what you love to to and i was like what she loom knits with 5 fingers i cant with ten my hat is off to you your so amazing i am glad i found you
Llama Mama Kayla would you please tell me if you have Kaiser insurance?
God bless you kiddo. You are amazing!!! Keep up the beautiful work you're doing with your yarn. I crochet too and it is very relaxing. You're an inspiration to any and everyone. Thank you for sharing your story 🙂
I have to applaud you my friend. I have been an avid loom knitter who watches your loom knitting videos for awhile now and i was wondering what had happened to your fingers while watching your vids, but after watching this video i appreciate you and your works that you share on here with everyone. It just goes to show you that no matter what happens to you you wont let something like this stand in your way...by the way your turtle video I really enjoyed watching.
Thank you for giving encouragement to those who are going through the same experience, that they are not alone. Blessings
After all the pain , you still have a sense of humor. I really admire you.
I agree with you,Kayla has an amazing positive outlook in life by being able to laugh at her struggles she has and is dealing with continually. I relate to her in so many ways. Praying for continually.
Kayla, I have no idea how I ended up here at your channel tonight. Normally, I don't comment but you are so inspiring that it feels like I'm here to learn a lesson from you. I don't know if it's a physical, mental or an emotional lesson but I will never forget you. You will be in my prayers. Thank you.
You are amazing!! I lost my vision 18 months ago. When I am asked how it happened I reply, too much masturbation makes you go blind, or too much time on my cell phone, or watching tv, or staring at the sun. Actually I have macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Coincidentally, my dad had to have his right eye removed last year due to cancer. When people ask him about it he replies: Red Ryder BB Guns aren't toys, you'll shoot your eye out.
We have to have a sense of humor about what has happened to us. It is the best way to deal with the pain and grief. I still knit and crochet. I had to give up driving, and reading. We learn to adapt. I am sorry this happened to you. I pray it doesn't happen again. I admire your strength and perseverance, and of course your sense of humor. 😘
I am so sorry that you lost your vision and you can't read any more . I wonder if maybe you have heard of Orcam ? It's a pen - like instrument that you use to read a book or anything else that has text on it . I think that you should look into their website (or get someone else to do it for you) so that you can get information about it and see if you might want to get one . Because you are blind , they may have a discount code for you to use so that you can get it at a lower price .

Love people that have such great humour. Rule 32 dont take yourself to seriously. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Friend had lost her pinky finger in a canal barge rope accident. She asked manicurist could she get 10% off the bill 😂😂😂
One of the 1st lessons I learned at the start of MY medical journey was, *trust yourself that you know your own body best* I don't doubt that doctors know the medical terms of what goes on, but when something about your own body feels -not right- you are the best judge. *I admire your attitude about everything and add my name to your family's list of fans!* *Keep on truckin' and we'll be here cheering you on :))*
Thanks for bringing awareness to this. You are an incredibly strong person and you have a sweet laugh and smile. Your family is lucky to have you.
I know so many people who have let their amputations stop them from doing the things they love. I don't blame them. I can imagine it's very hard to start at 0 with a craft or hobby you used to be proficient in. The fact that you have carried on and adapted to continue the craft you love is so amazing.
"He didn't think I knew what I was talking about..." LOLOL! Bless you, you wonderful soul. You are an inspiration, and brought a smile to my face today. :)
I have MS, I get severe nerve pain in my hands, especially when I'm trying to crochet, but I haven't gave up, so glad I found your channel ❣️ everytime I feel sorry for myself over the MS, I will always remember this video!
I want to say your amazing to be able to crochet with no fingers.God bless you. I have stage four breast cancer. But everyone's problems are different. I'm so sorry you had to go through this.
My daughter has Raynauds . This is terrifying . Thank you for the video . The picture are very helpful . People need to know the signs . I love your beautiful hair and your happy out look. Your awesome . Seems like it’s worse in the winter months for my daughter . God bless
I'm terrible, but was going to ask you if I didn't see this. I'm disabled from a very messed up spine and arthritis. I recently turned 60 and got started on this stuff when I was old. Thank God that I have these hobbies now! If not for all of this, I would never have survived the sudden unexpected death of my daughter Jan 21 2022. May God continue to bless you!you :)
A friend told me "Life is beautiful, but it isn't always fair!". We never know what life has in store for us, but you have the right attitude. God bless you Kayla. 🙏💛🤗
That thumbnail picture is epic! What a great sense of humor!
I knit and have all my fingers but I struggle, I don't know how you manage without the fingers! Amazing.
Miss Kayla, you're an inspiration to all of us. I became disabled in 2019 due to a fall at work. Had to have surgery on both legs and end up with nerve damage.
I wish I had come across your channel back then. I could have used your inspiration. I didn't think I would ever be anything like I was. But you have given me strength to move forward and enjoy as much of life as I can.
Thank you for your inspiration and videos. 😊
I lost half of my thumb to cancer I just do what I can you are a inspiration to me thank you
I can't believe they haven't been able to determine a diagnosis for you. You have a remarkable outlook on life and such a great sense of humor. You strike me as being a fun person to be around. Praying they find a way to stop your pain and the loss of you digits.
It’s good that you’re in good spirits. I don’t know what I would have done if I lost so many digits.
Wow, I have been catching up on old vlogs. Your story blows me away, but more importantly your positive attitude is amazing. Your upbeat and happy nature is why I love your channel.
You are an inspiration! I've had lupus for 30 years. I haven't lost any digits or limbs but my legs and feet died due to nerve damage. Can't feel anything from my knees down. I can walk with a rollator but fall frequently. The bones in my left wrist collapsed and it had gone too far for surgery. Can't use it anymore. In a brace until I die. I learned the hard way to take life one day at a time. You are blessed to have family. I lost all of mine by the time I was thirty and lupus took me down shortly after. Thanks for sharing your story!
The way you announced your first amputation was amazing. Glad you're holding up well!
I always tell people that it's important to find humor in whatever struggle we go through. A lot of times it's really hard to do but it does help. You are someone that knows this too. God bless you. I will pray for you to be in good health and to be able to continue doing things that you enjoy. you enjoy.
It’s so great that you have such a great outlook on your conditions and have a little fun with it even! Love you loads!
Thanks for sharing your story. I also have Raynauds and other auto immune diseases. You are such an inspiration.
I have auto immune problem. Oils cause problems. I have olive oil for cooking. Dont eat bread, wrong oils are in it.
Thank you for your story. I have been diagnosed with Lupus and Raynaud's. When my fingers started acting up my doctors really didn't know what to tell me except, wear gloves because your fingers are cold. I looked at him and said I was inside the house playing cards when my finger went numb/tingly/painful and whitey blue color. It hurt so bad I was tapping it and pulling them smacking it on the table, trying to get it to stop. Cold was not a factor. At least I know it wasn't all in my head. Thankfully my circulation returned but I know what to look for now and I know not to wait. Wish they could have done more to help. Since it's an older video I can only hope medically they have an advancement that helps prevent more loss. You have brightened my storm. You encourage me to see the silver lining even through the challenges. Thank you 🦋🌺🦋
I just found your channel and been binge watching your videos…I can’t believe how good you look now compared especially after everything you’ve been through. I hate you have gone through so much but you remain so positive and upbeat and I admire that so much. Thanks for the videos I know you help a lot of people.
God bless you girl! Stay strong! It's not always easy but, it's the challenges in life that makes us stronger. I loved hearing your story. Keep doing what you love! For as long as you can!
I had to come watch this video. You are an amazing lady and I love your attitude! Praying for you my friend!
You have been thru alot with that. You are in my prayers lady. You are an inspiration to others. Thank you for sharing.
God bless you Darlin'! You have such a positive attitude. You have blessed all of us that have watched this podcast. I pray you have a Blessed and healthy 2019!
awww your such a trooper girl bless you i do watch your channel and wanted to know what happen so i went to the beginning you have come a long way
Your positivity and optimistic outlook inspired me today. Thank you. Hope you get to keep the rest of your fingers.
Wow one after an another!! Oh my dear angel hearted! Friend! How brave and strong you are! I don’t know how much pain and hardship you have been through and I wasn’t there! But now we are here for you for ever! I love 💕 you!
You are a wonderful person! Thank you for sharing this with us. You are so strong and I cannot begin to imagine what this had to feel like. I thank you for you being so real. I love your channel and am so glad I have found you!! ♥️
I'm so happy that you can still do what you love and have alot of support. You have a great sense of humor and I enjoy your videos thatnks for sharing. Stay strong and knit on! 💕
You are an inspiration to us all and so incredibly brave. In another video you mentioned a name as to what happened. Have they finally given you a diagnosis? I experienced a hospital stay if 2 weeks and never received a diagnosis. What the doctors put you through seems unforgivable. I can see you have forgiven them. I am in awe of you.
Thank you for sharing your story. BIG HUGS to you! I am so glad that you are not letting your circumstances stop the dog and pony (llama) show!! You are and will continue to be an inspiration to many. Found you on YT yesterday and subscribed. I also joined the Yarn Swap group on Facebook. Can't wait to join in on some swaps!! Your transparency and willingness to be vulnerable has helped me with things I'm going through. I know it will help others too! You are a heaven sent Angel!! Much love!!!
So sorry that happened to you Thank you for sharing this with us, I would of never imagined come across something of this. I was watching your curly hair tutorial and didn't realize your fingers were gone, I went to your page and was looking on your other videos and seen thins I was like wow you did amazing using your hands and fingers you have. Your great inspiration for others cause this is a serious thing and I couldn't imaging how you felt time and time again over and over. Prayers and hope nothing bad happens any more.
New Subbie! Thank you for sharing your journey! I have a deep respect and admiration for you and your positive attitude and not letting it stop you!
Hearing you was the best thing that's happened today. God bless you immensely. Adore your humor.
You are SO strong! Thank you for sharing your story and your positive attitude. It's nearing the end of 2022, and I hope that you are still well and expressing yourself Creatively ❤️
You are certainly a huge inspiration to many people and I hope and pray that you are healed wholly from this condition. I love your positivity while sharing your experiences!!🙏💞🥰💯
I'm so sorry that you have had to deal with this.
I love that you have a sense of humor about it and aren't feeling sorry for yourself because of it and are looking at the good things you have going for you in life.
I just wanted to say hi and thank you for telling your story. I also have Lupus and raynaurds. Bless you and keep making videos!
Kayla, I just found your vlog a few days ago. You are an inspiration. God Bless You.
Bless your heart. I can't imagine going through that. You're a strong person, that's for sure. God bless you and thank you for sharing your story. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. It's nice you can have such a positive attitude. Your in my prayers.
I watched this for the first time. You are an inspiration for all. Love you for being who you are.
I love how upbeat u r about the whole experience. God Bless You and Your Family. it's a blessing getting to know you. Love you
You are an amazing woman. Stay strong and safe. You are an inspiration for others. I'm so thankful that you can still knit, I have trouble doing it with all my fingers. Sending prayers and hugs your way.
You have such an amazing outlook and strength. I tell you, doctors are all not all they are cracked up to be. I can't help but feel they failed you at every corner. I love that you doing what you love, knitting and that you have a wonderful family behind you. You truly are an inspiration. May God watch over you and bring healing to you. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless and keep that sense of humor; it's a strength that not many have! God bless you and your family.
Kayla, thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable. I can't even begin to imagine how much pain you've gone through. I have a connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos syndrome and i have raynaud's as well. I had no idea it could get that bad. I have lots of hand pain when it's even slightly cold, but the feeling always comes back and it's never turned blue like yours. I will be over here praying for your health and your hands every day.
Kayla thank you for sharing your story. God bless you, your outlook is inspiring. I’m so happy I found your channel. 🙏🏻❤️🥰
I think you’re amazing. You’re family is blessed to have you. Thank you for sharing❤️
This is my 1st time seeing your video so I clicked on this one and listened to the whole thing saying a prayer along the way. God bless you and ty for making this video explaining what happened to your fingers and not all at the same time, how sad but you're a very strong and courageous woman! This video I see is from 2 yrs ago. How are you today? 🤗❤🙏🙏🙏
All I can say is you're one tough/brave lady. Bless your heart. Not sure I'd have handled it as well as you have. Thanks for sharing. I've heard of Renauds but don't know much about it. I've got several autoimmune issues but not that severe. Wish you the best and pray you don't have anymore issues like that.
Thank you for sharing my story, you are awesome,sending love and hugs ,from Australia ❤️🤗
You and your attitude are so amazing. I pray for your healing.
Your amazing to keep smiling and functioning so well. Prayers!
The thumbnail is gold 🤣🤣 I can't imagine how hard the adjustment period must've been. I'm glad to see you came through the other side wth an abundance of humor that far exceeds your loss of digits. Thank you for sharing your story.
Wow you are amazing! I'm sorry you have to go through all this. Thank you for sharing this. I pray that this is it for you and your family.
☮️🙏💜🕯️🌈☯️
I have been watching your videos for awhile but didn't know how you lost your fingers. So sorry you have been through so much with your health. I have had 4 amputations on my left leg throughout my life and am an above knee amputee now. You have such a positive attitude. I try to do the same and be grateful for the good things. Thank you for sharing your story! Think you're amazing! Take care!
Thank you for sharing your experience. You are an amazing person, and such an inspiration to stay strong and continue finding ways to improvise to do the things you love. Thanks for the education and positivity. Hugs and prayers.
Thank you for sharing your story. I love your attitude and humor. You knit such beautiful items I am so glad it didn't stop you from knitting!
Great upload, thank you for your open and honest approach. In my humble opinion, you are a warm-hearted and awesome woman. I can't even imagine what it would be like or all the pain you endured because of the amputations. God bless you and yours.
Sending you big hugs and best wishes Kayla. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
God Bless you!! I admire you. Thank you for sharing your story. This may of happened to you but, you make such beautiful items. I love how you speech openly about it and your illness. It makes everyone aware of what to look for if something like this happens to them. Also there is a special woman who is willing to help someone in need if they need to talk to the same issues. Thank you again.
Thanks for sharing your story. I always try to look at life in as much a positive way as I can. Bad things do happen, but it doesn't defeat you, if you don't let it. I have seizures. It can be embarrassing for people to see you shaking. You are not going to hide to avoid being seen. You just have to adapt. Thanks for being such a positive role in my life. I 😍 watching your channel. Hugs! Lani
Thanks for sharing about what must have been an incredibly challenging and scary situation. I'm sure your story will help others facing life challenges too, so thanks for your honesty andwillingness to share.
I love your sense of humor …. My mom had her toes half or her foot amputated and she was like you… kept her sense of humor and would joke about it with the grandkids ….. it was her way of dealing with it and she went on with her daily life …. ❤️ you are an amazing example of strength and determination !!!! God bless
You are an inspiration! I enjoy your channel and the way you have overcome what life has thrown your way.
Oh honey I'm so glad your crocheting came up on my feed. You are just the sweetest and happiest person, I'm so glad I found you when I was looking for crocheting projects.
God Bless you and your family. I'm praying for you and your hubby.
Kayla I'm new to your channel. I learned alot about you. You are a remarkable woman. You have a great outlook on life and a great attitude. I'm praying for you. 🙏🙏💖💖
You are so strong, I admire the way you see life.
aww poor baby girl, i am so sorry that you had to go thru this, many prayers and blessings to you doll
I also have a debilitating disorder called dystonia It has taken over my hands but I refuse to stop crafting. You are an inspiration to many to never let anything get in your way fingers are just what they are tools And without tools you just learn to adapt That's what I've had to do but I won't give in and I won't give up so keep i inspiring
Kayla I just watched this video and cried. I think it is amazing how much you do in your crochet projects. My daughter and niece and Mother have Raynaud's. Thanks for sharing your story.
Omg 😂I love your sense of humor and the way you look at life ! You are an amazing strong woman, you should speak at places where there are people going through things where it be physical or mental health issues anyone is going through you would and are definitely an inspiration! Good bless you sweet heart!
Thank you for giving us all such amazing strength. Thank you.
I subbed with you not long ago. I never noticed no fingers til the other day when you were sitting making your blanket. I was like whoa. Perseverance and determination. This video randomly popped up. so glad to hear your story.
My son lost his finger and he tells stories when anyone asks. You laugh, they don't lol
Touches my heart you don't let this sour your spirit
you are one badass queen! thank you for sharing your story and for being the creative, funny, and probably very loving person you are
Hi. So sorry to hear about your condition. I know several people who suffer from this. My prayers go out to everyone who suffer from this. Thanks for sharing your story.
You are so brave. I am so sorry you have gone through the emotional snd physical trauma of these amputations. You are amazing and I am so glad you can still knit. God bless you.
Thank you for allowing others to learn about Raynaud's and your journey with it.
I admire your courage and tenacity!! I too have lupus and Raynaud disease. Blood pressure meds are working for me. As you explain your experience my heart ❤️ feels for you. But you are just amazing. I’m your newest fan!!
You are an amazing lady miss Kayla. You are a blessing to your family and all who know you. God bless you always.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have a relative that lost her fingers due to a rare case of the flu. Her story was in the readers digest, a long time ago when it happened.
I'm a knitter too. It can be happily hypnotic. And your children are learning a lifelong lesson about acceptance and stepping up to the plate. I think this is the most moving video I've seen here. Thank you for taking the time to tell us.
I have enjoyed listening to your stories about how you lost your fingers. You are a hoot. I love your bright beautiful smile. You bring joy and love in all you do. My prayers are with you. Thank you
Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry for what you been through. God bless you. 😢
You are such a strong woman and amazing at the same time to do what you do so talented and have the outlook on life you do.Beautiful lady with a beautiful soul
You are truly a blessing!! I’m like you I’m always joking about the bad things in my life! I’d rather laugh than cry! God bless!!
Thank you for sharing your story, Kayla. I love your sense of humor and positive attitude. I've been fighting with cancer for 4 years now, and refuse to lose my sense of humor over it. In fact, I've made it my mission to always get my doctors to laugh with me!
You have truly blessed me today. I am so sorry for all the pain you had to endure. You didn't deserve that. Sending love to you. Always in my thoughts.
Thank you so much!
You are one amazing lady. I pray that you will be able to keep the fingers you have and continue being an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️🙏🙏
You're such a hero! I admire your courage and resilience enormously.❤ I think I came across this because I needed to know about you. I've been feeling down about my life and the world, but damn, lady! You just gave me a reality check! Bless your heart and thank you for sharing.❤❤
Kayla, You are an inspiration. When I try something yarny and I can't get it, I look to your videos and try to find you have done something similar. If you can do it with 5 fingers then surely I can suck it up and try again with 10.
My dad had Raynauds, not to your level, and we worry about him all the time. Thank you for sharing your story and I plan to keep watching your videos for inspiration all the time.
You go girl!!! Prayers be with you.
I commend you on your attitude. I have a feeling this information is quite helpful to those that need this as a warning sign. Thankyou. God Bless.
