Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
You may have had enough swelling come down that your bandage slid off. But the incision looks great!
You got this lady. Heal well!
i think your anesthesia doctor would appreciate a little thank you note! they have (in my opinion) one of the most important jobs, i'm sure it would put a big smile on his/her face! Same with your bedside nurse! She sounds like an angel!!!!!
for being 4 days post op, that looks AMAZING.
You're one of my favorite youtubers. Keep being you. You're awesome! :)
It's good to see you in better spirits today. We're rooting for you!
thank you for always being an optimist. i know you may have your pessimist days, but your attitude is sooo contagious. loveeeee yoooouuuuuu, praying for a quick recovery
Aw, Jo, way to make me cry over the lovely nurse... gosh, it really does feel so good to be so cared about, especially by someone who you didn't expect to care the way they did.
I'm so happy that your case of the medical WTFs is starting to get better. I'll still keep some of my hope for you, I always will, but I'm so glad you're getting to take so much of it back now. All my love and happiness for you. ❤️ Here's to things continuing to look up!
Also - ALL HAIL THE LEG! It really does look better. 🙂 I find incisions etc. to be just as fascinating as you do, and the fact that you showed us was a total treat for my curious brain. 😁
Good nurses are the best! They can make your hospital stay amazing. I had the same labor and delivery nurse for all three of my babies. Made me feel really safe and cared for.
BergletteMom that’s so amazing!! It’s so cool that you had the same ones! 💜
Footless Jo Thanks, Jo. It really was. I even had two of my kids in the same room. Lol.
The way you explained waking up clicks with me. I have only had 2 surgeries and I thought it was just me and how i felt . I am glad to not be alone. but I am way more glad you had an easy wake up !
I’m so glad you feel better! Your incision sites look great! I actually like the scar on the end of your leg. It is a part of you (for now) and you are a wonderful and good person. Prayers for a speedy recovery! (:
I’m just going to have to take your word for it that those incisions look good. I know you’re relieved it’s over, looking forward to the future.
Being open and honest with your peers, friends and family is always the best solution. Glad you're sharing your stories!
Heard a good message today, don't let your present/ future expectations be clouded by your past experiences. And don't look for confirmation evidence to support your past experiences. Just like you were saying. Stay hopeful and full of faith that the best is yet to come- because it's true. I so needed that... Just to add to what you've shared. ;) So glad you're doing better. Def feel like I've been on a similar journey...sometimes just crying it out is the therapy we need too. :) Here's to continued health and happiness. You truly are a bright light Jo 💙
I'm so happy for your anaesthesia experience this time around. It is so helpful when doctors listen and act. My last operation I got a taste of what you're talking about. I woke up with a bronchospasm, not able to breathe, with a young, panicked doctor by my side who was out of his depth. It was traumatising for both of us. Since I was reacting to being extubated, not to any medications, and it has happened before, although not as severely, it is very possible that it can happen again. So I sincerely hope for someone competent and willing to listen and knowlegable for the next one. Fingers crossed.
😁 so glad your kitties are there! I am so happy you were able to have a good experience this time. Props to the wonderful surgical staff, shows how far caring goes in the medical professional!
How freaking flexible are you?! Lol, your leg is so far up that it looks like someone else’s! And yeah, your surgical site looks great! I hope this is the last surgery you’ll need. ❤️
I think it's because the rest of the leg is not there. We can all pull up our knee that high usually..
Looking good, Jo ! Sounds like you had an awesome nurse to help you awaken from anesthesia. I feel lucky in that the 4 times I have been under, I had no problems and after-effects. Thanks again for sharing !
Thanks so much! I feel so lucky to have had the doctors/nurses I've had, this time around was really awesome. And I'm so glad the times you've had to go under there have been no problems! That's amazing to hear!
Totally different situation, but I asked to have my elbow replaced at 27. I had a fall, just like you, and after a dozen surgeries to fix it, I was ready to give up.
They never do these replacements on young people, and it was weird being such an interesting case for the doctors. They even still have me come in every few months so they can run more tests and kinda show it off to the Med students. I don’t mind, I know I’m a case study and if it helps someone else, I’m down. Plus I learned so much more about the whole process.
I also had a very rare injury later, that was completely unheard of and required more surgery. I’m also always the one who has these things happen. If it “never happens” it will certainly happen to me. 🤷♀️ it’s kind of funny at this point.
Keep on persevering! I love your attitude towards everything and keep uploading videos of your journey! They keep me motivated on the rough days when I’m ready to quit
How lovely it is to feel like more than a number, and genuinely cared for and about in a hospital, right? Had that experience as well and it means the world.
I love your attitude. It's pretty extraordinary. And your fur babies are adorable!
That surgery site looks so much happier than your last!! Happy healing!!!
So please surgery went well - best of luck for a speedy recovery, onwards and upwards!
You made perfect sense to me! I feel the same way too. By bringing all of your darkness to light, you are able to see it and work through it. It may be super hard/scary/uncomfortable but it’s totally worth it. I’m happy you made it out of that place, even for a little while and if anyone else out there is in a hopeless place, just know that you are loved, you aren’t alone and that there are people rooting for you! Keep hanging in there everybody and thank you so much for sharing your story! Much Love to all💙
Your site looks well. You are a good nurse to yourself. 😊😊
I am very proud of you. Glad you are feeling better.
Awh thank you so much, Marilyn! Your comments always make me smile! 😊
Those incisions look good! Sounds like your swelling is coming down pretty quickly if your bandages just slipped off on their own. I hope you have a speedy, successful recovery.
HOPE is the word Jo!! We got enough share with you!! You have a lot of support out here. Use it!! I am happy your issues this time bring a smile to your face rather than a frown. 🙏🙏🤗🤗
The incisions look fabulous for 4 days post op! Take care Jo!
Glad this worked out well. You must be doing better than right before, and even though you say you feel like crap, it's quite amazing that you still do videos. I'd like to make a joke about your invagination, but I'll just leave it at that.
Anchor yourself in hope! You are doing great. I am thrilled that this is going well.. always embrace and r emeber the past.. take this time to relax and let the healing process occur.. you will have a new mold for your prosthetic in no time and be walking soon thereafter..
I’ve been here since the first video, I am so sorry that this whole surgery shit is still happening.... I am so sorry about everything that has happened to you.
I'm not sure how I randomly found you, but I didn't realize how much we have in common. I've been through a lot of painful procedures (though not like you!), ride horses, and also suffer from PTSD. I didn't think you had any form of PTSD or anxiety because you come off so strong and laid-back. You're very inspirational and even more so now that I know you suffer from these and STILL seem to hold it together in hard situations!
This happened to me, the day I was discharged I was transferring to my wheelchair and my surgical bandages just fell off! I freaked out too 🙄 thankfully I’ve learnt after many many surgeries how to bandage (ace wrap) my leg. Your scars look really neat and tidy. This surgery sounds like it went so well compared to your last, I will be keeping all fingers and toes 🤞🏻🤞🏻🦶🏻crossed your recovery stays really positive. Take care and rest plenty sending huge hugs 🤗🤗🤗
You look like you are healing up nicely. Hopefully your pain levels get better every day. I remember waking up from the surgery where they took out my knee replacement and put in antibiotic cement spacer inside as my knee while they were trying to get rid of the infection. I woke up screaming and crying in pain. I swear the nurse kept putting shots in my IV, but they were not helping. What an awful way to wake up from surgery. I did remind them of that for the next surgery to put the knee back in, and I woke up very slowly, but not screaming (or at least I don't remember doing that).
I'm so glad your doing so well so far your a champ .
I'm so glad the surgery went well for you. You will find your way to your new normal where one day you'll look back on this video and remember how you had a bumpy start but you found your way.
That’s great! I’m happy that you had a better surgery. The waking up without pain or panic was nice to hear. I’m one of those people that bad luck medically seems how it is. Really. Even my dr in my surgery and two week hospital stay last April-May said everything that could go wrong did. I didn’t have as extreme of an amputation as you, but I did have one. I then went into renal failure because of coming out of surgery and my heart rate went too low. Then biopsy, internal bleeding... sepsis and a picc or piic line -can’t recall spelling. Well, I was very sick and weak. It makes me relieved that this surgery for you was much better and I hope it continues to be :)
You’re positivity is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Your surgical site looks great. It always helps to be otherwise healthy, active and young. It just shows that you’re super strong because even with the stress (pain) your body is in, it’s doing a great job healing
This is the only video I have seen of you, and I don't know your story. But you seem to be a miracle
Here you have your glittering eyes back and that´s a positive sign!
After my c section my wound fully opened about a week after and I was sent to a wound care clinic for a couple months. The nurses there were amazing! Nurses can make such a difference!
And my anesthesiologist held my vomit bag and calmed me down from a panic attack! 😂
I know this isn't the point of your video.... but your orange cat is the most precious thing I have ever seen! Would love a video with more info about your pets someday :) Sending you good thoughts on your healing journey!
I'm sure you're doing this in the best way.. but when I had ankle surgery it really hurt to have the pressure of the ice on my incisions.. so they told me to put the ice under my knee and or really did a great job helping relieve that pain and the surgery pain. Something about the way it cools your blood as it flows to the problem area. I found it unusual, but super great. Just thought I'd share that tip.
I'm glad your spirits are high and everything is doing about as well as could be expected.
Glad you're doing well!! Thank you for sharing this with us!! Glad you came out of anesthesia and had no issues!! Sounds like you had an awesome and very understanding nurse and surgical team :) win win win!!
You are such a huge inspiration, Jo! I know that I (probably and honestly hopefully) will never understand how you're feeling, but I know for dang sure that you are an amazing person, and a fighter! You have such a way with words, it's so nice to listen to. I'm so glad you're starting to see the hope in your future again, and I genuinely believe that you will do amazing things. Stay strong!
Jo. It seems that you were in such good hands during the whole surgery procedure. I feel happy for you that you are feeling okay and at the same time okay to be not okay. Thanks for the video!
I'm so glad you feel more hope and excitement now!
It looks like it's healing well. Thanks for sharing..... Medical WTF... LOL.. GOLD.... Learning to walk again.. You'll walk, roll on the mats, and boulder scramble again. Pretty soon.
I totally understand, I wiggled out of mine the night of my amputation while I was still in the hospital. So no big deal nurse came in and changed it but the first time seeing it and it was at 3am it was a total freak out. Glad you're doing good just keep relaxing before you know it you will be up and moving again.
Thank you so much for sharing your story it has personally helped me a lot I’m currently waiting for ankle surgery and have been on crutches and in an air boot since November and was starting to get very frustrating and hopeless about the surgery I have coming up and wondering if I would ever get back to my normal. Watching your videos and seeing how u have handled your situation with such grace has given me hope that it will all work out for the best so thank you. I’m so glad your surgery went well! Hope u have an easy and speedy recovery!❤️
I LOVE your videos. Thank you for always being so positive.
Thank you so much Emma I really appreciate your kind words and support!!
I have PTSD it's definitely not fun. 😢 I hope you feel better. If things get worse I will pray for you! You are worth it! Always remember that you are loved and you are a lovable person never give up!
My fellow PTSD warrior, remember you too are so loved as well! Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words...they mean a lot to me. I'm so sorry you deal with this mental battle, too, but we're never alone.
You are so underrated. You are by far the best you tuber I’ve come across on youtube. I’ve been on youtube for four years
When i had my ACL replacement surgery they had this drain thing attached to my leg with a tube and i ended up waking up covered in blood cuz the drain was overflowing.
My dr hadn't even told me what that was or anything so i was freaking out and they acted all normal. 😭
That was definitely an experience i wont forget.
Big hugs to you Jo im so happy things are feeling better in your world 👍💜😀🐱🐭
I had that happen too with the drain for when my knee replacement got infected and the had to take out the infected knee and then put in an antibiotic spacer. I filled those drain containers pretty quickly. Like the nurse did freak out. Plus blood was everywhere. I had never heard of that happening before, so now I'm not alone. ❤️
@@jodil1209 you are not alone.💗 Your situation sounds much worse than mine. Hope you have healed up well☺
It was so disturbing considering I had no idea that when I woke up that "accordion thing" would be filled with blood! Im so shocked nobody mentioned that. 😕
@@ettakuns4205 it was certainly scary. I had no idea that could even happen! I'm sure the ACL was a big surgery too. Hopefully you have also healed well. Mine has been going on for 5 years before they finally diagnosed me with crps and most definitely bone pain from all the surgeries. I am still alive though and there are always people who have much worse situations.
Talking about your problems always helps because you do not keep them inside of you like you said
I feel so bad but life happens love your video 💕💕
Jo, I think I may have mentioned this before, but for both of my below knee amputations I ended up in ICU due to unrelenting pain. I was basically sedated for 5-7 days each time after which I was able to go back to a general med-surg floor to recover, so I know from whence you came. Hang in there, it does get better.
Aw beautiful cats 🐈 we have 2 just like it specially the Red , but sadly he died 7 months ago 😢💔 you’re a very strong young lady God Bless
Thank you for the warning Jo! I listened but I did not watch. Just keep getting better each and every day!
So glad you are doing well.
I work at a hospital here in sweden and I remember my patients, by some little thing like favorite food, by a happening and so on. You are not just name on a list ♥️ I really look up to you!
I love you so much!!! You inspire me and I love following your story. I have dealed with depression and anorexia aim the past. You inspire me to continue to take in the experience as a learning opportunity and that it is ok to feel sad a vulnerabie. Ilysm and I hope and pray that you feel and heal amazing. 💗💗💗
Looks good wound wise....keep up your spirits!
just want to say a little thank you. Speaking of hopelessness and that we have to face it by talking about it. Especially today it helped me to think about what I have to face, even though it may hurt a lot. I'm not in a similar situation but being in a foreign country with all the loved ones at home is challenging for me. After a rough day, I was able to let my emotions go, write everything down and think about it.
Not easy to do but you definitely encouraged me just to go this way. Thank you Jo
You’re such a bright positive person I love your attitude! I’m stuck in a hard medical position too with CFS, plus I broke my arm in 3 places recently and feel hopeless occasionally too.... but I’m starting to feel better!
The power of positive thought it proven scientificly to help recover. Look up the lightning process, it’s super interesting and I did a course in it.
Love to you and a speedy recovery!
So glad you did so well with this surgery and are healing so awesome!
“I will be showing footage like that” .... FOOTage ......*laughs in awkward pun*
Your incisions look great!
Thanks so much Marci!
Wow! That looks so much better than mine! Jealous. Thanks for sharing. This stuff helps us all.
I think it looks fine. The cloven look is cute.
Awh haha I TRULY appreciate that!
I'm sorry that you have such a bad time with anesthesia! I am just the opposite when it comes to anesthesia, I just love getting put under for surgery! Your incisions look great, very good for only 4 days. Hope that all continues to go well!
It's clean, pink and you can see the beginnings of tissue granulation. Good job!
You’re doing great! Love you, love your scar and most importantly love your future, because with your attitude you’ve definitely got a bright one to look forward to. Big hugs xx
Wow, that looks so good for four days out. I'm really excited for you, hopefully you'll be able to walk / hike before springs out. Two long-hairs, though? Can't begin to imagine the hairballs. :)
Thank you so much!! And haha oh yes, the hairballs are never-ending, and the vacuuming of hair everywhere combined with our pups is insanity. We've given up all hope of ever actually keeping the house clean.
!! I also wake up from anaesthesia in screaming uncontrollable fits! I wouldn’t even say I have any mental issues either. Last time (a few months ago) I woke up screaming in excruciating pain but also that kind of awake where I was vaguely aware where I was but couldn’t open my eyes or speak coherently or control myself? It’s such a scary and terrifying place to be.
Amazing video, what I love about your videos is you really share everything and the awesome part of you sharing your downs and negitive feelings is that we also get to see you come out the other side happy and more positive. ❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing your journey x
You have such a beautiful smile 🖤
I too like seeing surgery sites. I’ve also had several surgeries in my lifetime.
I'm so happy that your happy
I have problems coming out of anesthesia as well. I too get panicked and a big reason for that is I cannot see. They usually take your glasses and I get so disoriented. The last nurses did a thing and I had my glasses on until I went to sleep and when I woke up they were on. So much better. I was told they took them off in the middle. Seems like such a little thing but being able to see I felt so much safer.
Sorry about the blood. And love your cat.
I’m looking at the prospect of getting surgery this summer to treat my pain condition and it’s really frightening. I hope it does happen bc I want to not be in pain like this anymore but it’s also scary because the only surgery I’ve ever had was my wisdom teeth. Seeing you doing better every day makes it a little less scary and more positive
Cakes is sooooo cute! Hope ur leg stays good
Surprised the nurses allowed that to go without a redressing, maybe because of free health care here in UK but I had a metatarsal amputation. Once I was home 4 days after the surgery, I had home visits every 2 days for a month and 2 a week for further 3 months, it took it's good sweet time healing.
I pays to have them check it regularly simply for infection, especially around the sutures which can be an easy in for infection as 2 of mine got infected
I hope that one day you will do a video on your PTSD. I have PTSD due to a car accident. It's so severe that to even be able to go out I need my service dog. It's very hard because there is this assumption that PTSD can only happen to soldiers. It makes me feel like I'm making it up or my PTSD isn't as bad as a veterans because it's just from a car accident. I would love to hear from someone else who also has non combat related ptsd
Oh yay that you’re feeling better now you’re 3 days post op, you’re looking great and your wounds look like they’re healing well - go Jo!! And PS how cutey patootie are your cats?! 😻😻
Love your videos Jo!! Also sorry your bandage fell off, hope everything else goes as planned!
You should write a letter to the hospital "boss" about your experience. Several years ago I developed a bleed and came close to bleeding to death. I was really scared and spent several days in the hospital. The staff was really amazing and after I got home I sent a letter about that to their boss. He wrote back letting me know that he was very pleased that I felt so well taken care of, and that he would do something nice for the staff members I mentioned.
People like that usually only hear about it things that go badly. It's nice for them to hear when things go well, and it lets him know who is doing a good job for them.
🤣 Not laughing at you, but with you. Never had bandages fall off, but I have had my prosthesis come off...not once, but twice! So I’m kind of familiar with the “oh crap” feeling. Your sites look good though. Anesthesia and I are like quarreling spouses. My wake-ups are hit or miss, groggy and emotional or panicked and over-emotional. Things will be okay, and bumps are normal. But, bumps can be fun too. That slight moment when you may go airborne, your tummy in your throat, but total exhilaration. Keep blazing forward! You got this!
So glad your surgery went so well -great anesthesiologist (sp?)! My amputation went much easier than I expected (still emotionally shocking, however) and you were due for a less stressful experience.
I have had a hard time waking up and told them I have panic attacks. They used a different medication in my spine?
I am so sorry Jo that you went through all of this.
Incision really looks good, looks like closed eyes with long eyelashes, LOL, nurse here! Prayers for continued recovery
I weep and ugly cry and end up hyperventilating because of it. It sucks! But once i wake up enough to know where im at and why im in pain then im ok. Its an awful feeling!!! Im sorry you go through that
So glad to hear that you have emotional/mental healing going on as well as the physical healing.
Your leg incisions are looking fantastic and healing so well, thank you for sharing that.
You've mentioned that the problems leading to the surgery were a result of a fall on a slippery floor, which sounds like negligence on their part, have you considered pursuing them to cover any financial costs you may have incurred through the fall?
Do you know if you are going to need a new socket, or should the old one still fit?
Continued prayers for your physical and mental healing, Jo.
Waiiiiit whhhhhaaaaaa
Edit: Thank ya for inspiring me so much, all your videos make me so happy
Me too I am a nurse and love this stufff!!!!
You've got this lady! xx
Gurly I get you, I hate anesthesia and local anesthetics, I usually go into a panic attack before it's happening. Once woke up, passed back out, woke up again and tried to leave with the iv and monitor still on.
I love your videos I am a OG subscriber I remember back wen you had three subs I’m can’t believe what u have gone through I only have asthma and eczema that just makes me not have as easy sleep as most people and it makes it harder to breathe wen I have an asthma attack and just pray wen things are hard and even wen it seems hopeless just pray a bit more and ask people to pray and it will get better .and I wish I had as many subs but I’m only ten and people don’t sub to little kids and you might not believe it but it’s true
Anesthesia does weird stuff to your brain. My dad had hip replacement surgery.
When he started coming out of lala land, he was agitated and kept trying to lift his head up. My mom and doctor couldn't figure out what he needed. Then lightening hit my mom. Pre-surgery, my mom kept kidding my dad
that the doctor would put his foot on backwards. My mom told my dad his leg was perfectly straight, and my dad went immediately back to sleep. Every time he stirred she reassured him his leg was straight. What a mean mom I have!
Coming along pretty well from your surgery!
