Wow!! What a story...Well you are a major inspiration to people who have... both their arms and for people who have lost their arm to a ‘great white’ but here’s what I learned about myself listening to your story I think you mentioned something about ADD or something to that effect. I think I have that myself just listening to you LOL.It’s pretty as you are it’s gonna take more than just losing an arm you are gorgeous

Megan I can relate to you. I just lost my left arm in July 2019. It was a freak accident. I fell out of bed, hit my head was unconscious n not sure how long I was unconscious but when I was found my arm was purple. I was airlifted to USA in Mobile, AL. I was in hospital for a month. This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone thru. I’m still struggling putting my hair up n tying my shoes. I’m trying n this will not defeat me. You’re an inspiration to me.
Ross sent me , thank you so much very inspirational. Its so amazing that you're still here after an accident like that. I certainly have all my limbs and dont know what you go through but i hurt my spine pretty bad four years ago and getting around has been a struggle since. You talking about how asking why and what if questions and why me really helped me. I did that for a long time myself. Its great to see your spirit and smile. Really helped me feel not alone and in better spirits.
I’m having my left arm amputated due to osteosarcoma and I’ve been binging your videos. They have made me feel so much more calm and more hopeful about the future. Thank you.
Julia Leigh I'm so sorry you're going through that. It's nice to see the power of the Internet doing good though. Good luck to you!! 💕
Fibercrazed thank you !
Good luck to you 💛
Natasha Holder thank you 💖
Julia Leigh stay positive, stay busy, do things you love. Wish you the best!
You were so great in Ross’s video. Very inspiring
Came here from Vlog Creations.. Love your positivity.
Clicked on the video because the “she gone” literally made me spit out my tea when I saw it 😂😂
Did anyone else notice how she unintentionally made a joke about having one arm?
“I promise my hands don’t normally.. oops.. hand...” lol
Do you girl. So glad that you’re still with us! 💙
I here because of Ross. You’re a beautiful soul
Well, you are an absolute breath of fresh air in this stale lung of UA-cam. Thanks for your story, and thanks for having a great perspective on life.
You don’t need a ring light, your personality is bright enough to take you far on UA-cam!
Forgive my corny comment, you’re seriously so strong and I admire you for having such a positive outlook.
Amethyst Dreamz it was funny
I kept thinking "omg did she die" but she's literally telling the story.
All the people who disliked this probably have 2 arms
@Slavic Vibes Om lol
New subscriber from RossCreations! You were sooooo funny on his channel!!!
Lmfaooooo "I promise my hands...hand.. don't normally look like that" hahahaha you're too cute. love your personality and outlook
“I don’t have health insurance” 😂 that is honestly me

TheChosenOne same mate
Ross sent me here
Please make a video about your grieving process. I would love to hear how you were able to come to terms with losing your arm and how you were able to get over it and be happy again.
"She gone" in the thumbnail 😂
Wow, I'm the same age as you and from Washington.
Your pony tail video was in my recommendations, and I'm so glad I watched it! You are awesome, I subscribed like, 2 minutes into this video.
Isabel Johnson I just came here after the ponytail video..she's pretty awesome
Everyone: Ross sent me
Me: CuRIoSiTy sENt mE
Amazing story , amazing attitude 🦋
“It was a really bad week” I feel like I can never use this line again
jasmincleo in 2014 I almost died of an ruptured appendix and the day that I was going home my dog drowned! Definitely a bad week
I find it really comforting to know that your nerves shot down so you don't feel anything when you go through something so painful.
You are a very strong person
Like, no bullshit, your outlook is positively amazing. Your sense of humor with Ross is *pure gold!* You are a brilliant example of why I still have faith in humanity.
Thank you!
Adia Noeta thank you!
A good man named Ross sent me
This video just popped up on my recommended. You're so beautiful- inside and out!

I hope you make more funny videos with Ross again someday! I really enjoyed watching you and Ross together.
came here from Ross's channel. i'm so sorry about your arm, but it makes me super happy to see you have a good sense of humor about it.
I found your channel through vlog creations video. Funny stuff. You don't need fancy equipment to create a channel. I've literally use my cellphone to film all of my how-to automotive videos. Do your thing and people will follow. I'm sure you already know this, but you're drop dead gorgeous.
12:06 "My hands don't normally...hand... doesn't normally look like that" hahaha, perfect
Who came from Vlog Cteations?
Charles sent me, I subscribed.
You are so lucky to be alive. My nieces husband is an amputee from the knee down from a motorcycle accident. Initially, the doctors were able to save his leg but he walked with a severe limp and was in excruciating pain 24/7. He eneded up choosing amputation and says it was the best decision he ever made.
14 years old when this happened?! Holy shit, I am amazed by your courage at such a young age.
No she said when she was fourteen not fourteen years ago, but thinking about it true, very true.
That is what her comment said
Lil' Spy I think you read his / her comment wrong
Such inspiring story. I just saw your video on IG and the fact that you “make fun of your disability” helps people to understand how we should face tragedy. Thanks for sharing and for having such wonderful soul. ❤️
your a beautiful human Megan, im happy you are still here to share this with everyone, thank you so much.
I wanna know the whole story the whole grieving process, how long I took to heal. This was such an unfinished story and I’m so invested! I need the next story
I’m a nurse and it means so much to us in the medical field that we are appreciated. You are a bad ass girl! And I loved listening to your story.
I want to thank you for helping me so much when I shattered my right shoulder 7 months ago. I had surgery with plates and screws put in and rendering my right dominant arm useless at the time. I couldn't bring myself to watch what happened to you at the time because my trauma was too fresh. I have about 85% use of my arm now and will forever be grateful for your help. You are an inspiration! Merry Christmas!!
Hi Megan,
Your video came up in my YT feed. Thank you for sharing your story. I was born & raised in WA state ( Bellingham) & was an RN at Harborview Medical Center from 2008-2013 . Hearing your story brought back memories of working there & cases we would see. I found myself saying- yep PCA ( patient controlled analgesia) , & compartment syndrome. You mentioned saline & that is given to keep your blood pressure up from blood loss, trauma, shock etc. yes the hospital is a trip. Praise God the decision was easy for you & that you are alive! God bless you & I can tell your experience & channel is blessing many others.
GIRL YOU DID NOT PUT SHE GONE IN THE THUMBNAIL 💀😂😭
Holy shit I just realized! 😂😂😂
Megan, you are awesome! I‘m a trauma surgeon (one of those „See you tomorrow John!“ after about 10 hrs of surgery*lol) and I really celebrate patients like you. Hope a lot of people learn some things from you and how you deal with your story. Well done.
Here from Ross

Holy crap that pinch saving your life in such a crappy situation is nuts. I hope you do more Ross Creations collabs.
Literally so brave, so cool, so chill and down to earth, wow girl you got the perfect attitude IM JEALOUS. the positivity you have about something that could seem so detrimental like YES you are inspiring girl
Thank you so much, Megan. You helped me so much during the last weeks. I did not lose my arm, I just could not use it because of an accident. Your videos helped me and humiliated me - the humiliatoin was the bet therapy. Keep going - all my love to you!
Hey Girl, LOVE your channel!!! I was in a bike accident a couple of weeks ago & kinda destroyed my left hand. Your “how to videos” have been super helpful! Thank you for sharing your story & everything else…you are now one of my heroes!
Megan, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my left arm 14 years ago and I remember that during the duel I felt as if I had lost a loved one. I am very glad that you have supreme it and are so animated. I like the will you put on it. Cheer up!
Came here from vlog creations, funny video! About a year ago, the lower half of my arm was detached from my upper arm at the humerus. I liked hearing your story because I had the same experience in shock and with the funny bone feeling I was wearing a sweatshirt so I couldn’t tell my bone came through my skin. I had to go through surgery and all that but lucky I was able to get it surgically reattached, real respect to you for what happened.
Saw you on Vlog Creations. What an amazing story. I had to keep watching because there were so many details and events i wanted to know.
I found you while looking for a tutorial about how to apply makeup one-handed since I have hand surgery coming up. Once I saw the makeup tutorial, I looked for more information about you and found this video. Holy cow! You are an inspiration! I won't be wasting any time feeling down during the 4 months I won't have use of my hand. Thank you for putting your story out there and for giving me a huge dose of perspective. I'm glad you're alive!
Miraculous story. Had me laughing with the funny editing at the beginning. How do you type? One finger, whole hand? Is reading a book/magazine awkward? What are some of your favorite games or sports to play? What’s shopping for groceries like with the carts? I don’t know, I’m just trying to give you more ideas for videos. Good job, good luck and thanks for sharing!
LMAO THE BEAUTIFUL MAN PART AHAH I LOVE IT! Instantly subscribed I love you already
Wow, love your personality. If only more people in the world had such a great personality and self esteem like you do, would be a much better place to live. I'm glad I came across you in Ross's video, made my day. He's really lucky to have you in his life and I feel you become a part of many viewers lives, if even in a small way. Keep living it up!
You're My Hero 🥰 I lost my right arm 9months ago. Watching your video has been a total blessing. Keep inspiring! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow your story is truly miraculous, and you for sure have a guardian angel!
Your video was recommended it was super random and I'm happy it was cause this is so uplifting and you have a beautiful spirit and outlook on life
Jalisa Wilkins I agree! :)
Charles' vid brought me here. I had chills throughout the story. I've had my tendons on my collarbone shredded from a major car accident so I couldn't use my left arm for a while, but never using it again is beyond me. Especially with you making the decision to. Big ups and subbed
motivational! Inspiring to see that you have such a positive outlook! It shines through! Thank you so much for this video! :)
What is the professional rust god doing here?
O shit welyn
Ay yo bro what ya doin here?
Friend of a friend had the same thing happen, except he died. I can’t imagine what it’s like but that is the bright side you still have a beautiful life ahead of you.
Wow I'm so glad I found your channel, I really needed to see some real stuff I'm tired of going on UA-cam and all I somehow keep tracing back to is pranks and "I try following blank's tutorial" . I feel like it's making me stupid seeing all the same recycled mediocre content when I try going on here. And your videos are really interesting and meaningful some are really educational. I feel more motivated listening to your story, I'm only two videos in but I'm definitely watching more and subscribing!!!!! That's crazy you had such a scary life changing experience at only 14 years old I can't imagine how big of a change that must be. But you have a very lovable personality and I think it will take you really far and bring you great success for sure. Your positivity is very inspiring. It's refreshing to see genuine, meaningful and helpful content. It's hard to find that because UA-cam keeps throwing trash in my face I have to go digging for the stuff I actually enjoy watching. I find myself sitting there clicking on stuff and halfway through I'm like this is so boring and overdone what am I even watching rn but like thats all I see in my feed. Thanks for making UA-cam a better place 😂❤❤❤
Bella novia hey beautiful girl, can i have your Instagram?
I love how confident you are about it,and Im not gonna say you handicap because you are strong and you look on the bright side and find a way. Your such an inspiration.
This is the first video I’ve ever seen from you.. I am so happy I came across it. My dad lost his arm 4 yrs ago in a car accident, he passed away a few days after bcus of other issues from the accident.. but watching this brought me a bit of closure since I wasn’t able to see him at all during all of his hospital stay since this happened on their way back from vacation in Mexico...
you’re an awesome lady 💓
I don't know why this video was recommended to me but wow what a crazy story, love your inspiration and ability to be positive from this experience. You seem like such a beautiful person inside and out.
Honestly first saw you from Ross's vid and saw how funny you are about everything but just now realized how amazing you're story is. Hope to maybe see some content in the future 🤙
Thank you for this video. This is the second video of yours that I have watched but I look forward to seeing more, partly because my sister had a stroke and still doesn't have the use of one of her arms (and some of her leg too). I'm constantly trying to find ways to help her with her daily life so again, thank you for your courage to make this. Prayers and love going out to you, your family and everyone else, especially those who are amputees or have lost the use of any limb (as well as those who were, are, or will be in the medical field.) ❤️
You are such a strong person. Most people would just give up and just let an accident like this bring them down forever, but you have so much positivity. It really makes me smile for some reason.
So much strength and positivity. You're a beautiful person in every way
You're an inspiration! Such an amazing story, you are so strong
Touching story, glad to hear everything worked out okay in the end and you managed to move on. Can't imagine going through something like this, stay strong!
Came over from vlogcreations I am a Bradenton native I used to work out with Charles at the youfit on manatee. He is a good dude. I couldn’t imagine loosing a limb. You are definitely a strong person.
Megan, I remember vividly your Dad telling us this story about a week after you chose amputation. In the mist of all of the trama, there was a huge gleam in his eye. He was so proud of how courageous you were in your choice to amputate. He could not quit talking about how proud he was of your maturity in making the decision. Props for making the most of this and staying positive! A true inspiration!
Jamie Whitlock ayyy I’m a Whitlock too!
Hell of a decision for a 14-year old to make. Strong woman.
Bless your soul girl I’m so glad you’re okay to live your life and spread knowledge to everyone, your guardian angel was with you, I’m so glad to be your new follower 😊 you’re so dank, love your honesty and personality :3 Ross brought me here! You are such an inspiration, thank you for sharing your story ❤️
Here from Vlog creations. And omfg what a story! Love the part about your beautiful paramedic❤ and that main artery being pinched so you didn't bleed out. Loving your energy and your positive vibe
Just had reconstructive surgery on my shoulder after having the exact same accident in the the exact same senario , and !!! The exact same make and model of side by side ! No shit. I dont know , just thought I'd throw this in here . I like your spirit Megan and you're a pleasure to listen too ! Take care and all the best 😊
I was sitting here with a broken arm feeling kind of sorry for myself til hearing what you went through. I now have a better perspective on my situation. So thank you for sharing your life story with us. Also, I found you because I searched for how to do things like my hair with 1 arm. I’m 67 yrs old and I broke my left arm. I am left handed, and inept at doing things with my right hand, but I’m learning, and thanks to you I’m pretty sure I can get my hair up now. Thank you, and God bless you. Sheri
Cool, can I tell you my story. Ok. At age 11 I had to go hospital twice to save my life.. I had a pocket of poisonous fluid on my kidney.. the first trip was to drain it out. I was in there for a week and a half.. the second time I had mayor surgery to completely remove it. It was successful... But I get how it seems like a dream
I just stumped on this video. Well...you left it in the way.
Just busting yer chops, Darlin'. Condolences on the loss and congrats on your attitude. This is only slowing
you down just a little...it certainly isn't stopping you. I know seemingly husky lads who aren't that strong...
whining because they are starting to lose their hair.
Here's a little love from Northeast Missouri...
Just found your page, and just want to say your positivity is absolutely awesome!! Keep it up and thank you for sharing your story.
I retired from being a Flight Paramedic and a Trauma PA and you are an amazing young woman! You surely do have a guardian angel! Your very brave and well adjusted!
I lost the use of my left hand to bullets and I know some of the struggles you face, but your Wonder Woman!
Ben Frazer Thanks for your service
I saw you do a video with Ross, and I just want to say my idea. You should go to the store, get some gloves, and ask for 50% off.
Arthur Popovich you totally didn’t steal that from the comment section
Your attitude is everything 🙌🏼 so strong and smart. I love it.
Megan, i love you the way you are. Never change that. Keep on fighting. keep on smiling.
Been clinical dead announced. Been through hell and back as well because of physical issues. Had a motorcycle accident back in 2007. Broke my hip, shattered wrist. some other things. Woke up 2 hours later in the hospital. remembering 3 vague moments. Then my fight began. it's now 12 years later. when i look back.. and look at the man i have become. i get a pretty big smile. people around me would have never though i would came out of it this strong. The strength we humans get when we suffer a pretty big fight about life and dead. our own life.. and there is no other option then to fight for it. It's a gift. Most people will not understand such strength.
I love it, to see the way you accepted what happend. It's your history. it made you the person you are today. all i can say is.. i am proud of you the way you fought through it. and respect to all the support that has been there for you. when you look back. look back and smile. Your way more powerful than you think. there's way more pages to be written in your life :)
Please update us on the grieving process and how it felt losing a limb. Thank you for sharing your story is so inspiring and interesting
