Just throwing this out there: All the effort you put into your videos shows and is really appreciated! Your channel is one of the few that I actually put post notifications on for. I know you have your good days and your bad days but for what it's worth; whenever you post a video it makes my day brighter!
Aww this comment made my whole day! Thank you Saro!
I’d be super interested in seeing a vlog just out of curiosity, but obviously your health comes first, physical AND mental, and I know you have a lot of medical trauma, so if you just need to focus on getting through it, totally understand! Lots of prayers and hugs! ❤️
If your up for vlogging surgery I would love to see that
Me too
I'm sorry you've got to deal with another meniscus repair. You're not alone, though it probably doesn't make you feel that much better. At least you know and trust your surgeon and you're not heading into the unknown. I have hEDS. I'm 65 years old and I'm facing yet another knee surgery as the result of a dislocation. My pain is exactly where yours is, and I could not bear weight. I've been in an immobilizer (that I also had at home in my brace collection) and waiting for the MRI on Thursday to tell me what's torn. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers while we both go through this.
You should totally vlog about the sugery experience if you find the time to do it^^!
Yeah, I'll like to see the surgery!
Me too
I have chronic health problems and have watched your videos for a long time and you’re just an inspiration. I have autoimmune problems. I’m a nurse and I worked on pediatrics but we didn’t have extremely rare diseases. Your so sunny and truly a light bearer. I’m praying this disorder doesn’t cause you any more problems.
I hope the surgery fixes it and that the recovery isn’t too bad. Try to let your tibia heal as best as possible. I know it sucks but you’ve got this 💜🦓🥄🦴
God bless you friend I’m so glad to see you back I’ve been missing you.
If you’re feeling well enough and also motivated enough then I think a surgery vlog would be awesome!
Oh Mickey! I’m so sorry that this has happened to you. I’m sending you my love and pray for a safe and complete recovery xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Prayers are going up for you Mickey❤🧡💜 I can imagine that this is so much for you to take in sweet girl...we love you😇 praying for quick healing..😊
Yay so happy to see u back on yt! 😊💜 I'm sry that ur hurting so much n need surgery. 🙁 praying it goes perfectly n that u have no issues n heal quickly n easily!! 🙏🙏
Hey Mickey,
Sorry to hear about your leg! I know you have classical EDS. I do too. Part of my classical EDS is breaking bones easier (and I have broken bones from dislocations as well, (shoulder and knee) and yes crutches don't work because they make my shoulders dislocate which I know you know all about! I have heard that breaking bones can be common with Classical EDS (more then the other types. I was curious if you have also heard this? I am sorry you need surgery for your leg. Our darn bodies just can't heal very well. I will be here cheering you on. I am having tethered cord surgery in March in Rhode Island (I am from Tucson) so I understand the struggle of having to have a lot of surgeries. It sucks, but it also makes us stronger!! I will be keeping you in my prayers. Also I love your nails, super cute! Are you coming to the EDS conference this year? I am finally able to go to one since its in the state I live in! If so I'd love to meet you maybe! I have never meet a fellow classical Zebra in person or any zebra for that matter in person. Anyway much love from a fellow Zebra. #ZebraStrong
@Life With Stripes Hope the recovery goes well for you Mickey and only if your up for it could you vlog your experience thanks
I'm so sorry to hear you have to have surgery and have been in so much pain--wish you could catch a break! Praying that this surgery will bring you relief 💚
Best of luck. I fractured my distal femur. That is the femur, closest to th knee. It was 11 days to my surgery after travelling home for 28 from overseas. I ended up in a brace prior too and following surgery. I wasn't permitted to weight bear for a long period of time.
The stress from the hardware ended up damaging my iliotibial band that had to be repaired when the plate was removed. That meant another extended period of not being permitted to weight bear.
Good luck, just do as you are told, all will be fine in the end.
Sorry to hear! Praying for your speedy recovery 🙏. Thanks for being an inspiration to EDS-ers like me.
Yay! Happy to see a vlog from you. So sorry to hear about the broken leg. That looked so painful! Praying that all goes well and for a speedy recovery
HI! I am so sorry to hear this! I have no clue if they can do this with knees but for my other joints that have needed surgery we have done cadaver ligaments and tendons which is a longer recovery but works better then using our own tissue or trying to fix it. Will be praying for you!!!
I had spare parts that were used for my tendon transplant. Not everyone has this, or they only have one. The palmaris longus tendon is "extra." It does nothing to help the movement of the wrist. To know if you have one, you put your pinkie finger and thumb together and look at the inside of your wrist. If a long, hard tendon pops up, that's the one! I have one left. Maybe it will help build or repair my meniscus.
Miss you Soo much Mickey ,would love to see your journey your one of the few angels I have left please stay safe 🙏🙏🙏.God is with you and your always in my prayers !!!
If you are feeling up to it I would love to see a vlog about the surgery! Hope it all goes well!
Oh I am so sorry to hear that you broke you shin. I get the nerve ous energy. I really hope the dr can do the surgery and fix everything for you. I will be saying prayers for you. Take care and take it easy.
I would like to see a vlog from your surgery! Also, I wanted to tell you how happy I am that you're starting to get back into the whole RUclips thing again. I've missed your videos. Sending love and hopes for a speedy recovery 💕
You are strong my girl, you have faced this demon before, Mickey, and can do it again, you are not alone and always have us to hold your hand, talk you through, give virtual hugs, remind you how awesome you are and keep you company. You've got this, angel xxxxx
oh no im sorry to hear this! another EDS youtuber I watch had knee surgery this year (though for something different) and it really doesnt sound fun. I'll be praying for you and i know you can do it!
Izzy?
@@hannahdial3278 yeah hahahaha i love that you knew that!!! she's amazing
Love you so much 😊you helped me realize how nice it is to be able to live pain free
Hi Mickey glad your doing ok. If your up to vlogging the surgery i would definitely watch it. Im happy to see you drinking something finally. Are you going to have to go back on the feeding tube? You look so much healthier right now. Ill be praying for a speedy recovery.
I would be very interested in a surgery vlog if you are comfortable with it;) hope your knee doesn't decide to pop out again!!
I am so sorry. Best of luch in surgery.
You should totally vlog the experience
Sending positive vibes and thoughts. Hope the surgery will bring you relief from what's currently going on with your leg. And that you'll recover from the surgery fairly quickly........ 💜☮️⚛️
I’ll be praying for you! I’m so sorry you are going through this and that you have to deal with that pain!! I’ve never heard of a dislocation causing a break that’s insane!!! Good luck 💛❤️
Hey fellow RUclipsr! Just found your channel and I am enjoying exploring it. Super cute dog!
I hate this happened to you. Sending much strength! And I am totally interested in a vlog about the surgery, if you are up for it! Sending love! 😘
I’m really sorry to hear you have to have surgery. I have EDS and my joints pop out and for me some joints o pt back in place is painful. I’d love to see a surgery vlog if you feel physical well enough to do one. I’m praying for a quick recovery.
Praying for you Mickey,heal fast and totally🙏🏻😇👍💪😎
Sorry to hear you'll need surgery, I hope everything turns out great!! If you feel comfortable sharing it on a vlog I would totally watch it, but only if you want to. I'll keep you on my prayers! xx
yes please
I have broken my fibula on my left foot in 2015 by my ankle which isn't very fun. I have also had have ankle surgery on my right ankle in 2018 because I had 2 torn ligaments because I have sprained that ankle 4times.
I know how you feel, Since i had a very bad knee injury. Hope you heal fast.
Thank you for sharing .God bless you. Welcome to RUclips more often!
Oh and yes, if you are able, it would be great if you vlogged your experience with the surgery
Hi! Fellow EDSer here. Sorry to hear about your leg/knee. While I’ve never had my tibia break on me in the past two years I’ve had three surgeries because my knees both kept dislocating (multiple times a day). The surgeries taught me something important, time is essential. After my right knee surgery where they replaced my stretched out meniscus (is this something they could do for you? You should ask if you don’t know. They replaced a large piece of mine with cadaver tissue so no worries for over stretching again) my left knee started to give me issues. My surgeon said she couldn’t do anything until I was 6 months out but by that time my left hip was shredded and dislocating constantly too. Even though the long term recovery is a pain in the butt, it’s better than having multiple surgeries (as long as you don’t have other issues pop up on the no surgery side). Also on a positive note the recovery time for your meniscus surgery should give your tibia some time to heal!
I can’t believe I’m just thinking of this now (since I’ve known about it since it happened pretty much lol) but being on steroids/cortef/hydrocortisone long term (even small doses!) weakens your bones and you’re much more likely to have osteopenia (liked I have) or osteoporosis. Most Endocrinologists order us a bone density test (a DEXA) every once in a while (depends on the dr and the patient, but 1-2 years is standard so if that’s not something you and your doc are on top of it I wouldn’t be surprised honestly but o would bring it up to your pcp or endo next time you get the chance ♥️😘🥰
New Sub! Anyways I feel your pain I am having meniscus surgery on the 27th of Feb 2020. I have a vertical tear and a cyst from the fluid that escaped that has to be drained. Right now I am wheelchair bound except at home. It sucks as a college student. I have to have someone with me at all times because I don't have the strength to push myself. Hopefully, my electric scooter comes in before surgery. I am waiting for it to be shipped. I will get some freedom with it. We will both overcome this hurdle in our paths. Stay strong!
Hipe your ok! Have a good recovery 💓
Oh ouch! I’m so sorry you’ve been in ouch land, it sucks there eh? But hopefully it will heal quick and solid. As for vlogging, only if you are up to it and it helps with the boredom factor. 💕U 😊
prayers go out to you! Quick question, what happened to your service dog in training?
Would love to have vlogs during the surgery as it is really helpful to see what that process is like. I have never had to go into surgery so the idea of it is kinda terrifying but watching other peoples experiences helps alleviate some of that fear as there is less unknown about the procedure
I would love to see a surgery vlog if you are able to/feel up to it but really don't feel any pressure if it is something you don't want to/don't feel up to doing
i wish you a quick and smooth recovery!! if it would be possible i would love to see the surgery vlog but no pressure ofc!♥️
Wishing you the best of luck with your recovery from the knee.
I finally found you on IG, so now I can keep up with what's going on🤦♀️.
I finally have my genetics testing date! May 15.. it only took a year for Baylor genetics to go through my med records and decide I was a candidate, even though the Marfan Foundation changed my dx to a clinical dx of vEDS from hEDS. Since none of my dr's know much about EDS, none of them would document the clinical dx of vEDS, hence the year long wait.
Oh my gosh I’m going through almost the same thing right now. I dislocated my knee at work and it just hasn’t felt right since then (that was about a month ago). I go on Wednesday to have an MRI done with orthopedics and from there we’re going to see if I tore something which will need surgery or if it’s just a really really bad sprain (my rheumatologist is thinking it’s a tear but that’s with only looking at an X-ray).
Hopefully the surgery goes well Mickey.
I think, so far, we have 3 of us going in for our knees. I dislocated my left knee 2 weeks ago and the pain never went away. I had an x-ray an they see an effusion by my femoral head and tibial head. MRI is on Thursday to see what's been torn.
Good luck on your surgery. I hope you feel better soon!! Sending love, hugs, and get well wishes your way!! 💟💟💟💟
Yes
I would like a surgery vlog! But only if you feel up to it, of course, your recovery is the #1 priority xoxo
Of course!
Thats EXACTLY how my knee pops when I pop it back into place! I cannot move it until it is in plce either and it is sooooo painful! I showed my ortho surgeon and he dropped the F bomb and said it was completely not normal. This was when I found out I had osteopenia and CRPS. Mine was 6months post knee op though. it was dislocating at the tibia fibular head. soooo awful bleh so i like sooooo feel you with that popping oh my goodness! I hope your surgery goes smoothly. I send spoons your way. Stay strong fellow zebra
Wow so sorry
I would like to see more videos from you no matter the topic. I hope that you are able to heal up nicely and get some relief. I watch some of these videos of surgeries and it breaks my heart when you girls (amy,you, and,mary mostly) have to go through surgery. It seems like it's hard to control the pain immediately after for whatever reason and it makes me sad
Yes vlog it!! ☺ along with the healing process at the beginning and how you're dealing with it would be awesome! It's very educational in my opinion whenever I watch those types of videos since it's not like every person goes through these types of things 😂
3 years ago I broke my tibia from a dislocation I was put in a boot and was on crutches. My doctor and I go to the same church. It only happened once. I broke my foot from trying to get into my house in December. I have hEDS. I’m also a Chiefs fan. Lets talk about that win though. I cried. Love you Mickey!
I had surgery on my knee almost a year ago ( I was 13). I hope your surgery goes well!! I would love fopr you to film your experience.
I got surgery because my ligements were too loose. I also broke my patella when my knee dislocated =. I didn't know I broke it until a year later (when I had surgery).
You should definitely vlog surgery. I’ve always found those videos super interesting.
Girl you should vlog it😘😘😘
This week is the two-year anniversary of when I broke my leg in the exact same spot due to my knee cap dislocating. Thanks EDS for making myself and others with this condition have the strangest injuries in history.
Thats so funny! I mean not funny that it happened, but funny timing haha. I hope two years later you are all healed up and back to normal.
I went down on my hyperextended right knee when I was 9, on a bouncy castle. All of my weight went down onto it, with the pressure of the bounce. Broke my tibia, my kneecap, and done all sorts of ligament damage.
It was not fun.
I had no diagnosis until I was 23 and when this happened, my dad told my mum to tell me to shoosh, they gave me calpol and told me to stop being a drama queen.
However many hours later, my mum was still worried, took me to the hospital because I couldn't weight bare and it was swollen up HUGELY.
A month later I had pins in it and had them back out a few months later. Quite the ordeal.
I hope you heal up smoothly and there's no complications like there usually is with EDS 😂💜
I hope you are okay 😭😭😭
Wishing you a quick recovery. Updates ?
Your doggy is adorable
2:45 the exact same sound when I ruptured my patellar tendon in my left knee getting off the toilet before my EMT practical exam... got 2 love EDS, ugh.. before that I ruptured my Achilles the exact same way getting off the toilet 2 weeks before nursing school graduation, the following yr I went back and 3 weeks before graduation my appendix ruptured in my obgyn lecture, had 2 drop again.. they only let students attempt twice in the college I wen to, 3 weeks after appendixmy gallbladderstoppedfunctioningso thathad 2 come out, followedby a robotic hysterectomy and diagnostic lap surgeryof abdomin.. obviously I did not get my nursing or emt diplomas. Not 2 mention my extensor tendon in wrist and 5 ankle surgeries for more ligament and tendon ruptures..4 ports placed 3 removed, and major left theigh surgery.. I have 5 autoimmune disorders on top of Eds, mast cell, pots and mild gp
What was the reason for not putting a cast on for the break? Is it because they'd have to remove it in 2 weeks to operate on the miniscus? And are you not allowed to walk on it?
Hope the operation goes smoothly and that recovery is quick ❤️
In the dark days before Velcro, an ankle-to-hip cylinder cast was used to stabilize after patellar dislocation. I had so many of those while waiting for braces to come around.
I'm praying for you I've broken my tibia and fibula it sucked I had to wear a cast up to my hip
Cool if you vlog it.....only if it doesn't interfere with any aspect of your health. Good to see you again.
Aaaa! So sorry
I’ve just unfortunately done the exact same injury from a severe dislocation of my right knee (I have eds too) and I’ve fractured the top of my tibia from relocating my patella (normally not too big of an issue as I’m so use to putting my joints back in) shit!! I hate ehlers danlos more than anything:( sending love
You should vlog it!
Hope you get better soon
I’m from Kansas City so I was super excited when you talked about the Chiefs. I went to the super bowl parade and it was WILD.
Im so jealous you got to go to the parade!!! I would have loved to be there with you!
Miss you Mickey!
Hi im fiona. I am here to pray for you and rlly want to give u a big tight hug.
So, I'm confused; did it break when your knee came out, or when you put it back in? I'd be interested to see a surgery video, but only if you're up to it; no pressure!
Good question! It broke when I put it back in. The force of the two bones hitting each other is what we think fractured the bone.
@@LifewithStripes wow damn ouch
I've had avulsion fractures in my Scaphoid and ankle
Prayers for you,Sweet girl! Sorry! 😍❤❤❤
Good luck on surgery and hope goes well.
So I didn't test positive for EDS but holy hell are we dealing with the same issues right now. Didn't break the bone but my kneecap is subluxating a LOT I can't even use my brace because as soon as I put it on the whole area BURNS like hell. We have it taped but uh... Skin moves (stretchy skin lol) and it's not super helpful but it does help some. My bones are popping that loud all the time and the fibula is moving around a lot. Even caught it on an x-ray ( super excited about actually catching that one ). So I'm an undiagnosed connective tissue case for now. Feel your pain girl. I am about to have my first surgery though occipital nerve release procedure kinda nervous about it. (Car accident did that one) I hope your surgery comes out okay, I'd love to see the surgery. I really am concerned about surgery especially when it comes to knees right now. Very scared that I'll end up needing one eventually with the way my knee is going. 💜 STAY STRONG 🦓
I have osteoporosis. I ended up getting osteoporosis from a steroid I had to take years ago. So I had fractures in my femur bones and sacrum. So I had to get rods and screws put in. Now i can’t walk because I also have scoliosis and other things going on. I just went to my pain doctor today and had a increase for my pain pump.
Please vlog it if you can!!
Ive also got EDS, have been struggling this past year with patella dislocations too, daw a surgeon yesterday who has proposed to operate on my knee and said he doesn’t want to tighten my ligament as due to the EDS it would loosen again over time so is planning on binding/weaving a synthetic ligament in with my own! He said it’s a 70% success rate, have your doctors looked into anything like this if you’ve had your nimiscus operated on before? X
I'll be interested
They can put screws into it.
If you see this would you be up to a video (of course if amy is in) with you and Amy's life to talk about the similar things and different things that you both deal with. If it's all based on personal preference or medical needs on things like draining all the time vrs wearing a bag and things like that. I would love to see how much is just because of being in a different country and how much is just based on how different it effects you? I hope I got my point across without being rude I'm just curious. But was thinking it might help weed out any of the comments that sometimes pop up
u get better your leg
You should vlog the surgery.
Hey =) Any update on your leg? Get well soon!
Vlog all of the surgeries
I had operations and procedures bunches of them
Broke my midshaft tibia on December 12 2019 by being horribly tackled in my soccer game but I didn't do surgery because of my reasons and I'm doing fine the only bad thing is I would have been walking alot faster if I did
Yes you should
Good luck to you. Hope it all goes well. Have you ever had a bone density scan? Just curious
