thank u for all ur kind messages on the last vid, u don’t know how much it means to us 😭🫶✨ Here’s galpal’s surgery update! How it went, what was the surgery, seeing her foot for the first time & getting a new cast! ❤🩹
So glad you both are recovering well. I know it might seem silly to say, because you didn't have any surgery done, but you went through a lot of stress and it's important to acknowledge that too.
thank you, im so glad too! and you're right 💖 i think we're pretty good at recognising it, hence our big relax after coming home haha, but yea definitely need the reminder!
It's absolutely incredible to see that Galpal is doing great with her recovery. I hope that it keeps on going so well and love you girls. Thank you for including us as viewers in this, it really means a lot. So sending all the best to you girls and thank you again for the incredible video.
I hope so too! And of course, it's something thats so big that's happening so wanted to document it, and happy enough to share what's going on! thanks so much
@@laurenelloise Aww thanks so much guys, I love you an your content so much you have no idea, will be thinking of you and will be here always to support :DD
Your medium fries looks like it only has slightly more than the small size in the US, which irritates me because now I know they could be using a regular sleeve instead of the stupid little bag that falls over and spills the fries on everything else.
Galpal is such a trooper! As someone who also has has around 4 surgeries in around 15 years, I get the fishing for stitches part, it sucks. It’s really nice to see that even this is stressful and scary, you two keep an awesome sense of humor and rely in each other so openly. All the best in this process!
she really is!! and damn that's alot, i guess itd make things easier knowing what to expect each time. galpal might be up to 5 surgeries in total i think, but spaced over her lifetime. I think that's why i was stressed/worried before the surgery because i hadn't had any hospital or surgery experience. thank u so much for ur kind words and support
Hi there girl friends 😀 Galpal you know 1 more person that has club foot surgery mine was on my left foot and I have a scar going from just behind my big toe to in front of my heel inside arch and 1 at the under side of my ankle bone My club feet was both But only needed surgery on my left foot and at the time I had to wear special shoe braces which was a metal bar screwed to the bottom of a pair of shoes that kept my feet apart and angled out ward - But that Did not stop me from getting around on my own I'm in the United States girl friends
Love ur guys’s content and its really nice to hear that most of the nurses and doctors didn’t jump to conclusions and started using they/them pronouns 😊
It's nice when the nurses/doctors just say partner before they know/see who comes. Even though I know we're the minority, so it's certainly not expected, but appreciated!
I don't know if this is a bad response or not but it looked like a foot to me Galpal. As for the blood thinning injections I have taken them it was when I had DVT, in the belly is best 2 inches either side of the belly button, I injected myself, I don't have any issues with needles. Sending you good vibes and wishing you a safe and speedy recovery Galpal. ❤👍👍👍👍👍
It's okay, I know you're coming from a good place. Its hard to tell in the vid but her foot compared to her other foot (or even my foot for example) is much structurally different, and of course what we see in the video is it freshly surgically altered too! We were surprised when we saw it unwrapped, hopefully it will function better for her now, but we won't be able to tell for a while untl she's walking on it! And you're right regarding the sweet spot on the tummy, we found a spot that worked well. But changed to tablet form now, hopefully alot better! And thank you for ur well wishes, much appreciated!
Totally not commenting on the main point of the video but like the minute or two long part about the fries lol. I am from the US, and yes, ours are bigger. I actually just did a two month long study abroad in Australia and New Zealand, and on our first full day in Melbourne, I got a medium fry at McDonald's and started eating them straight from the bag, not looking in, and before I knew it they were out. A little surprised, I took the fry container out, and was surprised by how small it was! I mentioned it to the group I was with and the one non-American girl with us who comes from The Netherlands said "well of course, American sizes are huge" lol
Hoi Lauren and Erin i wish Erin quick recovery.and i also know someone with a knocking foot but he has never had surgery on it older person than you are now but he is already60 or so. greeting from J❤🩹✌👍an groeten van Jan
Hey Galpal, wishing you all the best on a speedy recovery. You've got this, plus Lauren will defiantly look after you x. You guys are honestly the best, can't wait for another video x
I'm from the US and I think all of the sizes of food are bigger here. I personally think the quality of our McDonald's is horrible, so I don't eat there. I'm curious if it's better every where else
the quality point makes me even more curious!! i don't think ill ever get to travel to the US, but best believe ill be comparing the maccas if i do! haha. Our quality seems fine and consistent across the east side of the country to me! might not be everyone's experience, but ive never had a problem
I'm so glad Galpals surgery went well and that she's recovering well. Edit: I also wanted to add I'm on blood thinners as well. I've been on them for years (just started a new one in September). Depending on which one, they can be not fun.
Thank you so much!! yea, kinda expect it though 😅 i think we didn't wanna say anything to be good little girls in the hospital, (bc respect nurses/workers) but maybe next time i think we'll speak up if we happen to have that one nurse again, i think you're allowed to request another one ahha
honestly, it was funny to edit/watch back seeing how excited we were, we totally forgot about the stitches part of it haha. that was tough to see her go thru man
GP asked about others who have a club foot. I thought she might like to know that one of the best golfers on the planet was born with a clubfoot. Joh Rahm was born in Spain, and now lives in the US with his wife and children. Rather than me recounting his history, you can read about him online. Despite the foot and the pain he has endured, he has won two major championships, included in his more than 20 championships in his career. You are both wonderful women and a pleasure to watch and listen to. Long pain free lives, filled with love and adventure.
ayy congrats on being first! also yes, i've been using it since the 1st video i did in december last year, it makes such a difference imo! nice and clear! (tho while in hospital, the videos were recorded on my phone). and thank you sm for sticking around!!!!
Hey beautiful, $17.60 at McDonald's for 2 people, that's a bargain down there in Aussie land, that would've cost you double here in the US, lol, I'm very glad your girlfriend is making a speedy recovery!!👩👩🤗😌🙏🏾💙💯
Everting at McDonalds as you call them chips we call them fries is different out medium is a bit bigger and our drink size is way bigger too :) it’s not great because we are one of the countries with the highest obesity rate….
haha oops, aussie tend to call all chips/fries/crisps: chips. But when ordering from maccas, we def say fries!! interesting to know about the sizes! also that drink was a kids apple juice lol so i wouldn't compare that, if they had orange juice it would've been better to compare but nopeeee :( lol
Happy to hear that the surgery went well. I broke my ankle and fibula a few years ago, so I know what it feels like to have a cast (I had it for 8 weeks) and to take blood thinner ahots. I had bruises no matter where I set them. Some doctors are, unfortunately, not able to communicate well with patients. I hope that Erin's recovery continues to go well.
Im very relieved and galpal is too! I couldn't imagine how hard itd be wearing a cast for that long, i don't know how you (and soon to be galpal) got thru it! I think her timeframe is similar, 2 weeks in cast #1, 4 weeks in cast #2, 6 weeks in boot yet to come. Also sorry to hear the blood thinners were less pleasant for you! :( the tummy spot ended up being okay, but she's switched to tablet form now. thank you for sharing ur expereince and ur well wishes!! 💖
I hope galpal recovers quickly, best of luck to Lauren doing everything around the house 😊 I love that you were so focused about how you hadn't kissed for 2 days, that's so cute!
galpal says thank you! and hehe thanks, i'm sure ill be okay though, she's now able to do small stuff, and she helped alot when i was doing the 12 gays of christmas too! yea man, that's always the hardest part! 🙈
I had a bunion correction about 4 years ago.. I know that’s very different than what gal pal had but I did have one of those scooter things and I loved it lol 😂
i know right! even i had a few goes on the scooter, much fun 🤭 hope your recovery went smoothly! i think anything to do with the feet makes us appreciate how much we use them in everyday life haha
heck ya! i love this! ive always admired how i think galpal does the same with hers (im sure there are moments when she's a lil insecure, she's only human) but i look up to her for it, and they look badass!
You two are such an adorable couple and seem genuinely lovely.❤️ Wishing galpal a full and speedy recovery. Probably a good job she didn’t draw on the bottom of your foot if you’re ticklish. 😂 You should post an update video when the cast is removed etc. Keep posting.👍
Thank you so much! hahah you know what, i actually like it! i would sit there all day if i could. And yeah, we'll see how we go, we might do an update in 4 weeks when she transitions to a boot!
You like what? Having the bottoms of your feet tickled? Ngl you looked quite ticklish, but you could try the couples guess the word tickle challenge as it’s similar. Keep posting cool videos anyways. Love the dynamic between you both.🙃
Since you asked about other people with club feet: I was born with a left club foot, got surgery when I was four, and then just inspections throughout my youth. I remember wearing the cast, and vaguely a brace to be worn at night for a while after, but nothing beyond that. Only needed the achilles tendon to be lengthened (the last of the four incisions you drew). My left leg is generally a bit shorter, weaker and skinnier (great for being made fun of in sports classes), and the foot movement is still slightly limited, which allowed me to skip military service, but it's nothing that really affects me anymore (I'm 41 now). Galpal's case is obviously more complex if she needs follow-up surgeries. Best wishes for the recovery!
Hello fellow club-footer! Some of my earliest memories are wearing a cast too, but I don't remember any of the boots/bars or surgeries from back then. Same deal with the affected leg being shorter etc (though in my case, it's the right leg!) Thanks for sharing and for your support! :)
@@galpal whee, glad you saw it :) Memories from that time are always a mix of things I actually remember and things I saw in photos from back then and now THINK I remember, but I can recall the physical feeling of the cast. I know my parents knew one other local child my age that had a right clubfoot, and there were plans that we would buy matching pairs of shoes and exchange the smaller/larger ones but that never materialised, and I've never heard of any other cases either before this video. Now I'm wondering whether you had problems that prompted the follow-up (you don't have to say, obviously) or whether this is just a better/more modern treatment than what I got, or maybe it's an aussie thing (I'm in Germany)...
@@laurenelloise haha, thank you! I was surprised I seem to be the only one speaking up, you have enough viewers that there should be a couple more cases, Wikipedia says it's a 1 in 1000 thing.
thank you for the update! glad you are both doing well! wishing gal pal a SUPER speedy recovery (also ps: as someone with allergies i can say that gastro type bugs are THE WORST so so sorry gal pal got that right after hospital!!) 🩷🌈💕 after a tough day this was just what i needed 💕
thank you for the well wishes and support!! It was so awful to have it the first day we came back to our own house, but i guess better than having it at my parents? haha never pleasant. Hope you're keeping well 💖
Glad to hear surgery went well, stiches out and new cast on. Hospitals are intimidating at the best of times, albeit apprehension pain and tears. Clubbed appendages were a lot more common in my youth which would lead me to hypothesize prenatal intervention in most cases may be the norm in this era. Stay positive girls and grow strong together. Happy to hear you were both treated with respect. When my wife went in for a partial Mastectomy with breast cancer, (2010) I was treated like I had no right to be there, and we were hetro and married (and still are). I think the nurses just didn't like the look of me.
Yes, I'm so relieved! Oh interesting thoughts, also I think as time goes by, we get better medically at treating it too. Galpals initial surgery would've happened in the late 90s, so i suspect things might have changed/improved by now... maybe? :) I'm sorry to hear that ur experience with the nurses sucked, its hard enough being in the hospital for something so lifechanging, let along not taken seriously. That was my fear going in, but glad it was all well and good!
thank u for all ur kind messages on the last vid, u don’t know how much it means to us 😭🫶✨ Here’s galpal’s surgery update! How it went, what was the surgery, seeing her foot for the first time & getting a new cast! ❤🩹

Bruh yes!! the struggle with the small bags 🤣
Yeah, there cup looks a bit wider
Glad everything is going well. You took a not so fun subject and made it enjoyable to watch. Take Care.
thankfully surgery went smoothly enough! and this makes me happy to hear!

Hi there! I had the brace/bar shoes as a kid too! I wriggled around in mine as well haha

My ex brother in law had bilateral clubfeet. Hope you are doing so much better now Gal Pal.
oh yea! thanks for sharing! and she's doing a good job at resting haha
I'm so glad Galpals surgery went well and that she's recovering well.

me too, very thankful things went smooth! Nice to know that it seems they're more common than i thought!
I was born with two club feet and never have surgery on them just week ankles
Yeah the weakened muscles etc can be really hard sometimes. Did you have casts/boots as a kid?
wishing a fast recovery to galpal! sorry the doctors were questionable (ive been there), but I'm so glad you two are coping so well ❤
Thank you so much!! yea, kinda expect it though 😅 i think we didn't wanna say anything to be good little girls in the hospital, (bc respect nurses/workers) but maybe next time i think we'll speak up if we happen to have that one nurse again, i think you're allowed to request another one ahha

thank you for the well wishes and support!! It was so awful to have it the first day we came back to our own house, but i guess better than having it at my parents? haha never pleasant. Hope you're keeping well 💖

I'm glad surgery went well and I hope you feel better soon.
thank you jenny! so happy everything went smoothly and she's being an excellent 'rester' haha
@@laurenelloise You’re very welcome.
Glad to hear surgery went well, stiches out and new cast on. Hospitals are intimidating at the best of times, albeit apprehension pain and tears. Clubbed appendages were a lot more common in my youth which would lead me to hypothesize prenatal intervention in most cases may be the norm in this era. Stay positive girls and grow strong together. Happy to hear you were both treated with respect. When my wife went in for a partial Mastectomy with breast cancer, (2010) I was treated like I had no right to be there, and we were hetro and married (and still are). I think the nurses just didn't like the look of me.
Yes, I'm so relieved! Oh interesting thoughts, also I think as time goes by, we get better medically at treating it too. Galpals initial surgery would've happened in the late 90s, so i suspect things might have changed/improved by now... maybe? :) I'm sorry to hear that ur experience with the nurses sucked, its hard enough being in the hospital for something so lifechanging, let along not taken seriously. That was my fear going in, but glad it was all well and good!
Great start ha ha😁✨

Wishing her a speedy recovery!
