- Mal is discharged from the hospital! 23 hours in there (because 24 hours switches you over to in-patient). Recovery time is several weeks, but I'm just happy to have her home. Er, well, our temporary home here in Atlanta, at least. Still lots to talk about, soon enough.

#Endometriosis #Surgery #Recovery
It's kinda cute that they look like a real Grandpa and Grandma while Stephen is walking Mal around the house. Hope recovery goes well!
Am I the only person who is super impressed that Mal vlogged one day after major surgery? Like, wow
I've had way less bad surgeries, and could barely move after them. Mallory is a bad ass.
@@josephboehmer1245 SAME. Mal is incredible
Yeah! I'm just in awe of Mal in general but this was one of those things serving as proof that Mal is such a strong and indeed badass person.
@@msizemore03 remember that episode of GTA online, after Stephen's surgery?
@fallen alpha
Which exact episode is that one again? I can’t remember
I love Mal and Stephen's relationship, and how much he cares for her.
They don't alwayd outwardly show it often but there's moments it peeks through and its always the sweetest parts of the vlog
@@josephboehmer1245 I beg to differ. Maybe not on this level, but all the little things add up and show he cares
@@jillie__stanley9 That's kinda what I mean, honestly. They both do very tiny things that show they care.
It’s all the little things and quirks for me honestly. I’m currently watching their Zelda BOTW play through and just hearing Stephen be super proud of Mal and just even seeing him blown away by her intelligence. They are both also very different in that regard of Mal is very good and puzzles and Stephen is really good at action parts of games. They compliment each other in a lot of ways
@@josephboehmer1245 got it. I agree with you. They are special people for sure
Did... Mal just record the intros on her own volition? Wow!
The fact Mal could walk even that well after this. Wow. She's pretty awesome. This shouldn't be news to anyone but just incase you weren't aware
Poor Mal. I feel bad seeing her in pain,. I'm glad Stephen is there for her at least. Also, wow. The fact that she's walking, let alone standing is awesome. Sending Good Vibes from Canada #TeamMal
being a new grad nurse, i find these vlogs very interesting with seeing your guys’ perspective of things. it’s easy for nurses to forget that another day of work for them can be one of the biggest days for their patients, but with watching these vlogs i have learned far more than what i possibly could with reading from a textbook. thank you again for sharing this aspect of your lives with us and i’m so happy mal feels better :)
I've been a nurse 2 years now and you're right we do lose perspective. I work inpatient rehab so seeing all the post op stuff is interesting!
I love how Mal felt well enough to vlog herself multiple times ☺️ that shows how well she's feeling ❤️ she knew we'd want as much reassurance that she's OKAY as possible. We love you Mal ❤️ #TeamMal forever
Also, I totally understand the switching between oxy pain meds and ibuprofen. I also had to take blood thinner shots every 12 hours for 2 weeks or something 😣 noooot fun
It's so incredibly hard to go through what Mal has been through, not only with surgery but over the past years. It's also hard to be the caretaker too, though. As someone who has been in both positions, I have so much respect and admiration for how well you two are handling everything. It won't be easy, but hopefully Mal sees a light at the end of the tunnel now. Sending so much love to you both. (also waiting to find out what Mal's new super power is with her brain fog hopefully clearing)
Oxy Contin is heavily addictive so be VERY careful with it
Replying to make sure this stays a top-ish comment (not specifically for Mal, but because it's important to note for anyone anticipating medical procedures).
Yes. I remember reading about it in school.
I was given oxy a few times in the hospital and the constipation is just insane and even years later my body still remembers it and has like a desire for it and I didn’t even use it all that much and I tried to forgo it except in the very worst situations. It’s a drug that tries to hook onto your brain really easily. Definitely something you want to be careful around.
For the record I don’t know the exact differences, but Mal is on Oxycodone which is not quite the same as OxyContin. But yes, it is an opioid all of which are addictive.
The clip of Stephen going down the stairs reminded me of when they were at the old apartment.
I love Mal’s intro!! Also, “let’s go see this table” gave me a smile :)
Mal: *Uncomfortable, getting gas pains.*
Also Mal: This is really dry...
Mal's inner comedian is always gold.
It was truly the worst chicken wrap I’ve ever had.
Hospital food Mal, hospital food. The food was provided by Tiny Eddie 🤣
@@MalMakes I know the feeling. I’ve had 27 surgeries and have had my fair share of hospital food. Some of it’s ok but other things are just awful. Lol.
Look at Mal, that freaking badass, vlogging on her own right after surgery!
Every day will be an improvement. Keep on getting stronger and feeling better! #TeamMal 💛
God, these two are so adorable.
Here's to you Mal. Take your time recovering, and we'll be there every step of the way.
Official vote for Stephen and mal to be the cutest yet realist RUclips couple.
The human body is amazing! I had scoliosis surgery some years ago and the next day they wanted me walking up stairs!
I haven't watched the vlog in a long time but I have been SO invested in these last few days. Mal and Stephen are so good for one another. It just warms my heart.
So glad you're doing well Mal. Sending prayers and Good vibes.
#TeeamMal
One of the very rare moments that Mal actually vlogs on her own. That shows me she is feeling better.
... HOLY SHIT.
Mal?
I was not expecting you to be behind the camera for this video. I just started, so I don't know how much of it was filmed by you, but...
FUCKING HELL.
Look at Grandpa walking with Grandma lol
hope you are recovering well, Mal. remember, if you're having trouble with scheduling lots of things at once, feed Keppy at the same time as doing some of them, he'll never let you forget again!
I have got enough faith to know that Mal's got this covered. And with Stephen by her side, they can do anything. Best, positive vibes for both of them. And a little extra patience. Mal's recovery IS a test of patience. A lot of people, including me, can use more than enough patience.
The walking around talking made you both look like an adorable old couple. I'm not crying you're crying.
Awww that intro!! Mal you're such a boss - I don't think I've ever seen Mal intro a vlog before, I'm sure she has done before, but I've never seen it. Let alone after such huge surgery!! You're amazing, Mal - and I love the cutting between your perspective and Stephen's. Shows a sense of time passing and you two being apart. And the love and trust and comfort and care between you two is just unreal. You two are just both incredible honestly. Onwards and upwards in the recovery, Mal.
Yeah she has, but it’s probably been less than ten times.
@@ThunderHam Right? I'm sure it must've happened before, but it's been rare. And for one of the intros to be right now, the morning after major surgery? Mal's a boss.
Stephen coming up with funny things to talk about while doing the walk is so sweet
So glad Mal is doing well. Good news was needed after hearing one of my previous coworkers passed away from covid this morning. Stay strong!
I'm recovering from brain surgery and needed some comforting inspiration so came and sought this out. I'm so glad Mal is doing well. Thank you guys for what you share. It makes the world a little less frightening and lonely. ❤️
So happy that Mal is doing well. I hope she has a quick and easy recovery.
We are all proud of you too Mal
So glad that the first day of recovery started out well. It'll be a long road until full recovery, but with you helping Mal, Stephen, she is going to feel better than ever! Good vibes ya'll!
fighting it like a champion grand Mal!
Amazing to see progress and at least as well Stephen taking notes and just seeing Mal doing her best as well. Amazing progress hoping for the best, you both got this and just make sure both get plenty of rest and stay eating from time to time.
Feel better soon mal prayers for your safe speedy recovery
Stephen’s care regimen reminds me of my husband’s regimen for me after my hysterectomy. And I know Mal is dealing with a lot physically (both in this vlog and currently), but I hope she’s very, very relieved to be on this side of it. Nothing but upwards from here!
Slow but steady, glad too see you getting better Mal!! Also super cute watching you two, absolute couple goals
I am 6 weeks out from ACL surgery and had OxyCodone and doing a good job of making sure I didn't get addicted was my big goal and only needed it for the first 3 weeks. Getting in and out of things like the shower was very interesting for awhile.
Good luck on your goal and you know recovering(not sarcasm, but sarcasm has ruined the words good luck for me so i figured i had to edit this in)
@@bjam89 oh I already succeeded 6 weeks post op only needed the pain meds for first 3 weeks like I said thanks though
I believe in you Mal, you can do this! And Stephen, you are the best husband any wife could have
Some women after surgeries like hers feel really good really quickly and have a great recovery while others aren't so lucky. I'm so glad to see Mal seeming like she's one of the lucky ones. It's a rough go at first, recovery. It can be a beast actually. But when she can go a time without major pain or living on a heating pad it will be so worth it. Believe me. I know. Keeping you guys in my thoughts! Such a great caretaker she has. #relationshipgoals
i know this is about Mal but watching Stephen just be a good and supporting husband makes me all teary cause its so cute
You both got this! We all believe in you! #TeamMal
Wasn't expecting Mal to film the start of this. I hope she's feeling a lot better by now!
Appreciate y’all so much for sharing this whole process with such vulnerability and honesty. You’re a beacon.
You're a hero!🤘🤘 Love ya Mal!😍❣🤘 And Stephen, you are so AWESOME & HEROIC!🤘🤘 You're a good guy.
Maaaaaaaaaaal! It's so good to see you doing ok^^
Best wishes for Mal’s recovery!
Map vlogs! Awesome to see you doing so well!
Prayers go out to you! Thank you for sharing your journey.
So glad shes getting better! Very glad the procedure went so seemingly well!!! Nothing but support for Mal and Stephen in this time!! Also, what is a Techo?
Techo is a japanese diary/journal that mal has been using for the past few years! (I think it's eithwr the brand or the method of journalling) - they have a couple of Techo unboxing vlogs on the channel!
Yup! Piggybacking off of Michaela here's a vlog for the 2022 Hobonichi Techo where you can see the unboxing of it where Stephen and Mal go over it in detail: ruclips.net/video/LG-7ST1UPSo/видео.html
If you also just search "Stephenvlog Hobonichi Techo" you'll find multiple vlogs of different designs from different years. Hope that helps!
@@rollrick1005 thank you!!!
happy watching these knowing things went well, you got this mal
So wholesome
Love you guys! Glad Mal is doing much better!
It sounds like it's pouring rain that day. Cold and wet, what a day to be released from the hospital.
Hope you get a lot better soon Mal and Stephen your doing a great job taking care of Mal ❤️❤️
Mal is so freaking strong, man !
Good to she she’s recovering well especially this soon after surgery!! #TeamMal
To make light of a rough situation… did Stephen and make turn into sims during Mal’s walk with the table?
That was my thought, too! Made me chuckle.
Good luck to the both of you. I know your back but seeing Mal as she was there is amazing to see!
#teammal
Its too bad you couldn't get "guest hosts" in so that you and Mal could talke a few days to just recouperate in peace. Take care.
I've kind of always wanted to see Mal start the vlog, so that was a nice thing to see. Keep it up Mal! I know you're even further along with recovery than where you were in this video. Hopefully you're at the point of weaning off the pain meds. You got this!
More good luck!
We're proud of you Mal your kicking butt!! You both are so sweet to watch shuffling around the living room..lol love u both!
Mal you got out of there so fast!!! Way to go super star!!! And yessss the gas pain after major abdominal surgery is honestly, one of the most uncomfortable parts of recovery. Everything else is just about building your stamina back up. You passed your check out requirements so quickly and so well. I’m not really a gambling person, but I’m betting you feel like a million bucks today. 😁
Honestly, it's so weird seeing you get discharged so soon after surgery. The last two times I had to get surgery, they kept me for several days, and both procedures were considered minor. Then again, I guess that's the difference between US and Canadian healthcare steps in hospitals post surgery.
I agree. I can’t imagine how scary it must be to have to leave before you feel ready to care for yourself just to be able to afford the bill in the end. If Mal were living alone and didn’t have Stephen, there’s no way that would be possible! So sad, but definitely makes us appreciate free health care, regardless of how broken our own system can be sometimes.
Wait how long did they have her... I just figured i skipped a bunch of days cos norway also care about holding you back post op
@@bjam89 i think just 23 hours
It’s phenomenally sad (US resident here). It’s necessary because the different between inpatient (five figure bill, already insane) and outpatient (SIX figure bill) is outrageous. It really sucks that here in the US we just can’t get the care that we need because money is such a huge and often the predominant factor we have to consider.
@@bjam89 Yeah, apparently (as mentioned in the description) in the US they try to let you leave after exactly 23 hours in the hospital because after 24 hours you become in-patient and the bills become even more huge than they already are... I'm also Canadian and this is insane to me.
Both Stephen and Mal have support form me. As a kid I had many surgeries, mainly because I had cancer at a young age. Now as an adult, I don't plan on having any for the rest of my life, but I'm off topic. My hopes and prayers go out to Stephen and twice as many to Mal for her recovery.
I had a lot of success with polyphasic sleep back in college, specifically the Dymaxion version (taking four 30-minute naps every 6 hours for a total of 2 hours of sleep per day). If you're finding that your sleep schedule needs a bit more structure to it, I'd suggest it.
Stephen knows he's handsome. Damn boi.
The clip of y'all walking around the apartment was so sweet and delightful it's literally grandma and grandpa slowly walking lol. Glad to see you're doing good Mal!
#TeamMal ftw
MalVlog :)
Ever heard of the Uber Human sleep schedule? Bouts of 15 min rests.
10:04 this seems very similar to the setting of the nerf battle
Stephen: You got a really handsome caretaker
Mal: I do
Me: Smoothe Mal smoothe lol
I do wonder if doctors nurses knew you both are to youtube.
When I got my endo surgery the gas pains suckkkedd 😤 a heated wrap thing around the shoulders helped as that's where it accumulated in me, oh and sipping peppermint tea helped ease it too!
Either way, do what makes you comfortable Mal and hopefully the gas pains passed relatively quickly.
#MalVlog
"You can have food that's solid" is Grandpa being salty about his chicken broth from when he got his appendix removed?
#justmalthings
I’m glad you’re getting better Mal. Hate to turn this about me but this vlog occurred on my birthday.
Anyway, Stephen be careful not to give too much Oxy Contin to Mal. It’s an addictive drug to people if they are given too much.
One of my birthdays had them get the leak from the opstairs people
