Wonder if this one learned all her tricks from nutso chronically JAQUIE?

[@LifewithStripes]

Actually I went to magician school! Thats where I learned my tricks

[@FaybayandRemi]

She passed away from her intestines warped around her feeding tube and caused it to lose blood flow and passed away

[@trulygodsgrace]

Kathryn Drury, I am glad to report your inappropriate comment. I'm glad I saw it. Live in our shoes before you call us nutso or demean us.

[@peachxtaehyung]

@@trulygodsgrace i dont think really that she meant it badly but who knows tbh

[@kaelynnmercier628]

Miranda Stephens well she did say nutso.. that’s a lil rude if you ask me

[@lauramediocrehobbies]

Please don't throw out the extra stuff, you can donate it to human/animal organisations and they would really appreciate it!!

[@StephenMatrese]

My wife's step mom was on IV antibiotics through a PICC and when she was done, she gave us her leftovers. They have been a godsend as we have been trying to find a new home infusion company for her port. I totally agree, no one should ever through anything out. Regarding the ton of trash, a lot of it is recyclable if fluids never touch it. Mostly bags that you can drop off a a grocery store or Target. There's a decent amount of paper

[@shywolf4]

Don't throw the surgilast away. If you are able, contact you local animal shelter. They may be able to use it and welcome the donation. You could also check with low cost clinics or something like doctors without borders. Organizations that need it badly enough might even send a volunteer to pick it up.

[@leopriest133]

Anyone else’s sound in the video playing up?

[@CurvyNerd]

Leo Priest yeah bad off and on.

[@sarad8496]

Leo Priest I think she is forgetting about where the Mic is and might be accidentally covering it with her finger

[@peachi3sweeti3]

[@TechGirl84]

Yes

[@magnolialynn]

I love how positive you are despite everything you've gone through. I couldn't imagine having any ongoing illness and you have multiple. God knows how strong you are and is doing this for a reason. What that reason is, you may never know but He knows, and that's what matters.

[@anassmansoum4421]

Maggie Olds do you have whatsapp or facebook

[@magnolialynn]

No, but I do have a twitter if you want to follow me there :) it's @MagnoliaLynn

People like you are why everyone needs to do their best to make eco friendly decisions and use less plastic. Because the chronically ill and other people requiring procedures actually *need* these plastics and the oil required for plastic production is not an infinite resource. Thanks for making this video. It was very interesting.

[@Leslie_ann_h]

I am fairly glad that I have figured out how to use the non-sterile flushes when I flush my port.

[@Oliivens]

I don't even know what half of that stuff is but I still find this so interesting to watch. And I'm so glad ur sharing so that I and others can learn. Ur such a lovely person

[@belindarosenheim2322]

You are a doll 🤗 Thanks for helping me organize my hubby's meds.

[@thejarrellfive]

Thanks for sharing. I hadn't thought to put a minifridge in my daughter's room. That would be so helpful.

[@m00npipe]

You should do a Room tour!!

[@CamillaZahn]

I don’t have near as much medicine as you do but I’m slowing needing more and more space to put my meds and other things so I can easily get them... Instead I walk through my bedroom cursing and asking my mom to help me find the brace that I need until I get too tired and or dizzy to keep searching. I really should be more organized!

[@jessicammcmahon]

I love your room it is so cute, I love how you decorated your room with flowers and your adorable collection of teddy bears. You are so clean and organised, I have a small room which has been completely taken over by supplies for my feeding tube, dressings, my colostomy and my catheter. I do try to keep everything organised but after about a week or two everything gets messed up again. I have got some great new ideas for storage from watching your video. Thanks for a great video. Hugs and kisses Jessica.

[@shelleylondry8959]

Sell the surgelast on eBay! There's no law against it and there is some out there that has to pay cash for things! You can sell anything on eBay that isn't medication, pills etc!

[@dk8477]

Bless your heart. I was thinking about you this morning wondering how you are.

[@Rob_0011]

Holyy!!! Thats alot of meds, well as long you stay happy, we are happy

[@ammoniteashley6408]

Thank you for making this video! 👍 I have hospital basins full of my supplies right now and totally can see this type of organization helping me a lot. 🤗 I love the cart idea for easy access! -Do you use a medical binder? I'd love to see future organization videos for chronic illness, it's so hard to manage everything when you don't feel good 🤒

[@usrafieckx9]

Wow, lots of stuff.

Hannah Brown you are so nice!!

[@kawaiifairymimi]

Do you actually throw away medical supplies? My mom is a missionary and people always give her extra medicine or medical supplies because we know people who actually need them. Not everyone can afford or health insurance wont supply people

So I have a central line for TPN, feeding tube and also an ileostomy so the supplies are endless. I have two three two shelf units and a mini fridge and for the most part I stay organized. I use decorative boxes so it all looks non-medical looking I do have extra cases of formula out though so that looks a bit medical plus the IV pole. I do not like my room looking medical

[@shelleylondry8959]

You are way more organized than the hospital is!

[@HighTen_Melanie]

You are ultra organised! 😊👍

Some of your picc line sleeves are gorgeous!!! I’ve had my picc about 8 weeks now and am due to leave the hospital soon after being in since April, where did you used to get your picc sleeved like what stores/websites? Thank you and I loved this video so much x

Hahahaha, I love the apology for having to know what Mag Citrate is. That made me laugh out loud. Your feed popped up after I was searching for a good link to explain EDS to a friend. It sucks that it's so bad for you so young. It sounds like you have great parental support though. Good luck with everything.

[@byuidolphin]

I LOVE all your Tubie/IV stuffed animals!! Did you make them or get them from a hospital stay?

[@incurablyawesome2024]

Hi Mickey, my gosh you are much more organized than I am! I need to shape up lol Thank you for sharing. I finally posted my first two YT videos on my channel! I am hoping to post the next one on Monday! :) Sending hugs to you

[@mckinleyw.3262]

You should do a video showing all your splints and what they do if you use them

[@IzzyKDNA]

McKinley, I think she did a video previously on something like that. She tried on all of her braces in a brace race...she may have explained them as well, but i may not totally be remembering correctly!

[@djlawlz4041]

You're super organized compared to me haha

[@NorseButterfly]

This is very helpful actually👍

[@breejones140]

Please do a video showing all of your braces! And when you got them maybe or where.

[@TechGirl84]

Bree Jones I think she has done a video showing all her braces.

[@Renfrye]

Your medical supplies are a lot more organized compared to mine.

[@kelseyleary2835]

When you opened the drawer with the mag citrate in it, the first thing I thought was omg thats a magesium citrate bottle. And then you picked it up and I got a better look at and and I was like yup, that magnesium citrate. And I almost cringed looking at it because its not fun.

[@edsboy]

Hi Mickey I really love you Video very informative n useful you truly are an inspiration to all Zebras

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

Honestly... IDK why you have to open a flush onto the field... In the ER they never open fully sterile syringes. I guess if you are doing it week by week it makes sense... but for a peripheral IV you can start it, get the flash and then just attach a syringe with STERILE FLUID... but not a FULLY STERILE situation.

[@caracannon6138]

my family has a medical emergency closet because me and my mom are always breaking our bones.

[@PotsieZebra]

Wow!!!!! girl I strive to be that organized but it doesn’t happen feels like I get 2 things organized and my family pulls apart 3 (even with ladles) 🤦‍♀️

[@americanmedicalid]

Hi Mickey, new subscriber here! So glad that we found your channel :) Love how organized your cart is, wondering if medical ID bracelets are part of your medical supplies/accessories?

[@sorchaoreilly2633]

The carts look great! I especially like the first one. Where did you get it? I've been keeping an eye out but not seen ones I like or which fit the tiny space beside my bed except really expensive ones from hospital supplier companies. My feed set up tray just sits on my desk and the whole area is such a mess even though my NJ is currently out!

[@blabarsris6012]

Sorcha O'Reilly To me it looks like something from ikea

[@aaliyah6212]

where did you get the clear dress from? ❤️

[@brat2004brat]

I had an ileostomy for a while and once it was reversed i still kept getting supplies sent to me so many it was over flowing my drs recommended donating it to the hospital just thought id mention that its better than just throwing expensive medical supplies away im sure someone would appreciate it

[@NicoleSams614]

Where did you get the port supplies cart. I need one desperately

[@reillybranch9434]

Danni Sams I got one like that at Walmart but I also think it’s in Target.

[@breejones140]

They have them at ikea for cheap as well

[@19SaraJane]

I got mine from Ikea as well!

[@thewienerdogvlogs6435]

Im thinking of having a port put it, because i have horrible veins. And i bruise really easily, i had to be stuck 3 times at the hospital on sunday when i went. I have so much scar tissue on my hands and arms from having ivs. And im tired of being stuck and brusied.

[@afoster6285]

Same thooo I have dba and I have to get blood transfusions every 3 to 4 weeks and I have horrible veins I had a port when I was younger but it got infected and broke so I had to remove it. It sucked for a while but you get used to it but honestly I rather get poked multiple times then have to go to the er for an infection.

You can donate extra medical supplies to the Parker Lee Project. You can find them online. They help children with medical supplies for free if their family can't afford it or are having trouble getting insurance coverage. They have helped my son a few times. Their great

Would you make a video about the different medications you are on or would that be too personal? I know you blurred the medicine, is that because you don't want people to know your meds?

could you make a PO box? I have so much stuff id like to send you!

At 5:35 you left in a non blurred image of a prescription, I'm not sure if all your personal info is on there but just in case thought you should know. This is a year old video so I'm not sure if it matters now.

Obviously its not to expensive for her to just throw away. There are places that do take medical supply donations for people who cant actually afford them.🙄 it's sad to know that people just throw stuff away because "they don't need it" when there are people that do need it or could really use it. Think about your fellow human.
