- We sat down with Stacey to get her perspective on my unusual case. She clarified what happened to me regarding my 'anesthesia awareness' experience, and you can see me processing this information in real-time. This video shares lots of laughs and stories from different perspectives. Show Stacey lots of love in the comments because she's feeling a little nervous about being on youtube, but you guys are the best, and Stacey deserves ALL the good things! We love her immensely! There will definitely be more to come from Stacey and others!

I'm so grateful that Stacey is sharing her side of your journey and helping you to piece those moments together. She is validating what you experienced and helping fill in those gaps. Thank you, Stacey, for helping Christy on her continuing healing process. Christy you've come a long way and it's going to continue to get better. I'm sorry you're still experiencing neck pain. I could see how you were hurting. Get well, my friend. You have so many people pulling for you.
After hearing a lot of horror stories of health care workers being very unempathetic and uncaring to people in health emergencies etc it’s nice to see there are nurses and workers who are so compassionate and enthusiastic in their care for their patients like Stacy and your other nurses were and still are
I've kept in touch with a lot of my team- they're my guardian angels
I love how Stacey is still voluntarily helping you heal. What a special person to have in your life. Hope your knee is not causing you too much pain. God bless.
Every Hospital needs a couple Nurses like Stacey!!! It takes a special person to be a Nurse. Especially in the ICU or ER. They've got a very hard job. Some people have no clue. My Sister-in-law started as a RN now years later she's a Nurse Practitioner. She one of the special ones like Stacey.
Thank God you have Stacey to help you understand all that happened.
Hey my name's Katie I had 3 strokes. I have been airlifted twice and have had over 24 surgerys and I'm fixing to have my next on soon which will be 5 hours long. Surgery scares me because I have woken up during surgery twice. I had a kidney transplant 10 years ago. I love hearing about your story. Your so inspiring 💚
The way that man loves you is something we all should hope for in our lives! Your story is so amazing and I look forward to every upload! Thank you so much for sharing! Love from Montana!
Thank you so much! 🥹🥹🥹
I’m a healthcare assistant in the UK. I love the dark sense of humour all us medical people seem to develop 😂
Wow I can’t believe I missed this one!! How?! You are so meant to be here and I believe you’re doing Exactly what you are meant to do sharing your story!! And Stacy is a rare nurse who is in it bc she Loves it and not for the money!!
I’ve never heard of an AOD, so thank you for raising awareness. You are badass on steroids (in the best way, not actual steroid medication🤣). I’d never met anyone else who has woken up paralyzed in ICU during intubation, or had panic attacks in the ICU when I’d just lose….orientation or think the smothering silence was distressing. It’s odd that in those moments it seemed quiet, because I’m sure you, too, have learned it’s not so quiet in ICU! The monitors constantly waking me up IF I fell asleep. It can be so disorienting. Did you ever think you heard rain but it wasn’t actual rain? That’s prob just a me thing, but it’s happened a couple of icu stays. I think it’s the sound of the ventilator and the humidifier for vent (blanking on the term) or something like that. And every day intubated is just stare at the clock every second counting down to when they could next trial me to see if I could be extubsted. I was restrained. I woke up wondering if I was in jail but I knew I wouldn’t commit a crime. 🤣It’s crazy the places the mind can go -and somehow conquer.
I’ve been in ICU a few times (brain bleed, horrible fungal pneumonia, and resp failure. I was in heart failure at one point, they said.). But those are child’s play compared to an AOD.
Thank you, though, because I feel less alone/weird in those experiences. And, haha, the swearing occurred w me, too, I just don’t remember. Talking over an ET itself is nearly impossible. But like she said, you’re atypical af in the best way. Just deeply sorry you had to go through ALL of that and for so long. Pls realize how AMAZING you are!
Im so glad that you survived sweetie but I'm so sorry for all of your pain! God has given you a purpose and I believe its to share your story to help others!!! God bless you and your hubby!! Many prayers for you! 🙏🙏
Its mind blowing what you went through & you’re 100% intact today. You’re a miracle & your husband is a stand up guy for supporting you through this horrid journey.
You should nominate Stacey for a Daisy award!
I am so happy the UA-cam algorithm recommended your channel. Stacey seems like a fantastic nurse. EMS and other medical professionals generally get along because we are in the same world and usually have the same sense of humor (nurse here). I'm glad you became so close and that your friendship has continued since you left the hospital. I've subscribed and am enjoying your videos. Hope you are doing well.
Stacey is wonderful, her perspective is fascinating, and I'm glad it's helping you heal further. And your friendship is one of the silver linings of this life-changing event.
Put out the next video yesterday, please! 😉
Omg the best comment! ❤️❤️ There’s definitely more coming!
Bless your heart, you have really been through it! And you survived!! You are one tough lady! Good for you!!👵💜
I'm laying on my sofa after foot surgery yesterday watching you lay on your sofa recouping from your surgery. Dang, life is just funny sometimes! LOL Sending love, light & prayers for a good healing process. Now, I'm off to finish watching your video.
Hey,lady in Louisiana who was ran over,at home,no help or loved ones like your support and I wasn't as bad off as you,but sending 😍 love
Wow I can’t believe I missed this one!! How?!
The room spray link is appreciated... Without sharing the repeated, truly horrific and shaming details (by staff) I'll just say that this would have made life MUCH better, especially with smell sensitivities! 💐
Stacey you are so good at describing the parts that was missing .....what an absolute nightmare for you but you are getting through it now.
Amazing ! 😘😘
I'm late I didn't get the notification so I thought we was still waiting for this 😭 but wow Stacey is amazing. I wish all nurses were like her!
Hey Christy I'm so glad I found you're channel I'm glad you are still alive to tell your story
Such remarkable stories of survival! Your bond us incredible with Stacy & your husband.
Just watching this on my way home from work. Stacey is great! Nurses are the best.
So glad you got to have this chat!…and fill in some gaps for yourself and validate some of your memories and experiences. ❤️
I’m new to your channel. I’ve watched three so far and I’m intrigued by your survival from such horrific injuries. I wrote two long texts which were deleted when your video ended before I posted them, so I’m going to try to write this before it ends. Your “realness” is captivating. You might have a lot of broken bones in your body but not one ounce of pretentiousness. I look forward to hearing more about your journey.
Amazing, love hearing about your time recovering, and yes we all can be unruly when sick and hurting. Nurses know who doesn’t really mean it 💜
Thank you for sharing your story❤
Thanks for watching!
OMG I’ve been waiting for this one. I have an interview so I’m going to have to watch it later grrrrr Can’t wait!!!
I'm glad you're getting the answers that you need! Can't wait to see the rest of the interview! ❤️
Thanks for all the angels aka nurse
You are truly amazing definitely enjoying all these stories. I just love seeing your new videos
Great interview! What a special nurse.
I had a crash and broke my L1 in 2 places. Big fusion surgery, 11 days in the hospital, and TRAUMA! Every time I went to sleep I would wake with a startle like I was wrecking all over or some horrible nightmare that scared me to death. I was afraid to go to sleep. The docs told my family that was normal after trauma. It sure was not fun, not easy to sleep and well a nightmare!
This is so interesting! Stay healthy!❤
Thank you! You too!
The suction is the worst! The saline getting squirted down knowing the suction is next I dreaded every time!
Absolutely mind blown with your strength and courage. You and your husband are truly beautiful souls. Much love from the UK.
P.s do you sell what you make? XxxxX
That is hilarious. Seems like she was a great nurse to have. Now a friend I'm sure.
I HAVE WATCHED 4 VIDEOS THEY HAVE ALL MADE MY CRY
No, don’t cry, love 🥹
❤️
Stacey seems amazing, her patients are lucky to have a nurse like that 😊 what was she talking about with the aoc that arrived to the hospital still breathing, being already aq___? I couldn't hear what word she was saying, and probably wouldn't have understood anyways, could someone explain it to me?
Hello! Nursing student here. She said “already a quad.” A quadriplegic is someone who has paralysis in all four limbs.
Hope this helps! ☺️
@Hailey Thank you so much for explaining!
Awesome...Thx for sharing. FYI that linen spray is 21.95 here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. I think I will get it anyway.. LOVE ur story. Sorry this happened to you tho. HUGE HUGZZZzzzzz
Oh wow! Please tag me and let me know how you like it!
Am I supposed to see the road going thru your pretty face in the beginning of this video??OK IT STOPPED 😂
Love it
The horror in the mind of the critically Injured. Our bodies are amazing but so are the ICU RNs. .
CANT HELP IT
I love me some Christy and I just had a thought.....Do you have a PO Box??? If you don't, you should have!! Id love to send you something special, because youre so special!!! ♥ (Lori M) Love you BIG!!!
I do! It’s on the about page of my UA-cam channel 😊❤️
@@littletraumamama Ahhh yes! I didn't think to look there. I looked in the drop down of the video!
It's interesting that surgeons basically fixed her injury by screwing her skull to her spine that's why her neck is so large now. There's got to be a better way of doing this to give survivors actual good neck movement when they heal. Why can't they leave the patient in a halo until the ligaments and tendons completely grow and heal.
I’ve always had a large neck haha. The biggest difference now is just very limited range of motion- I wish it was smaller!
Nate, your comment about “that’s why her neck is so large” is pretty insensitive. You probably wouldn’t have said that to her face, which means it’s not an appropriate comment. At all. Ever.
I’m gonna assume the surgeon gave her the repair that was required @ the time to protect her spinal cord & to save her life. Having greater range of motion would be nice but, all things considered, the size of her neck is, surely, the least of her worries.
Omg. Sorry I don’t want to be mean, but I think you don’t get how rare this is that she survived this injury! Her surgeons did a terrific job!! The ligaments will never be the same again after such a big trauma. It would be extremely dangerous without any screws. A better neck movement after such an injury is not a good idea…
