I know I said today was gonna be honeybear video but this video got done first and honeybear will be next week! Hooray! --Kristin

[@BraveEmpress]

Thanks for letting us know! Also this was fricking hilarious!

[@nnennav]

It’s all good this video was fun to watch. Hope Jen heals soon!

[@abridgedbooks7263]

I’m typically happy with whatever you two post. I’m glad Jen has an actual story behind the injury unlike me breaking my ankle by tripping on air, and then the camp doctor insisting it wasn’t broken, walked on it for 48 hours, and then the orthopedist back home gave me an x Ray, and declared it broken. Got the cast off the day before my bat mitzvah and wore sparkly high tops under my ballgown

[@kaleenaerwin7172]

Pressuring your best friend to go to urgent care when there's a serious medical need is PEAK auntie energy. Good job, Kitchen. Always listen to your auntie, Jorn, :)

[@emosasukelover222]

an absolute vibe... i had to convince my best friend from going to work because this dummy got alcohol poisoning (she's fine i promise) I wanted her to go to the ER but she insisted she was fine and just needed to rest but she originally still wanted to work and i'm like "uh no you passed out in my arms standing up and puked 3 times in the shower /stay home/

[@krose6451]

I am the auntie telling others to go but then will wait for myself 😅

[@wumples2345]

"I'm working. I'm a woman in STEM." Perfection. Heal well, Jen!

[@shananalan]

I fuckin spit my drink out at that hahaha

[@Justsay_Jackie]

I was wondering if Jen hurt herself falling out of a chair or something, but sliding to 2nd base and scoring a run for your team is way cooler lol. Get well soon!

[@ravenbell3918]

As someone who cracked a rib bone during a hockey game, played the rest of the game, and didn't go to a doctor immediately, I get Jen. Sports mentality is real.

[@hollyschmidt9316]

I did the same thing 😂 I torn a ligament in my wrist and got a concussion (I was playing rugby) and played that game and then next 😅 it was only when I went in to a chiropractor for my neck that they checked me for a concussion and it came back positive… then I went to a doctor for my wrist

[@greekchick104]

When I was 13, I got nailed square in the face by a soccer ball right before a game (I was a goalie) and smacked my head on the way down when I fell into the goal. Hurt like a bitch, probably had a concussion, but I only ended up sitting out the rest of the game because my glasses broke- I definitely would have played that game otherwise. The sports mentality is no joke.

[@ravenbell3918]

@@greekchick104 That happened to me too! Goalie in soccer, got nailed in the face by the ball. As soon as the bleeding stopped, I insisted I go back in. Got hit square on the nose for the second time, they pulled me permanently. I'm just a "play through the pain" type of person 😆

[@ItIsBeeTime]

If it was not for the fact that there were other parents suggesting to my mom to take me to at least med express I would have never known I shattered my hand. It took two surgeries and over two years of recovery. I didn’t wanna go to med express. Yeahz

[@alliecat1019]

The amount of care is so wholesome and sweet. Everyone needs a friend like these two.

[@BreweryCalling]

Kristen you should bind your dominant arm and y'all could have a one handed TINY FOOD FIGHT!! Wishing you a speedy recovery Jen 💜💙🧡

[@holyfreakinBLEACH]

Jen, your dedication to softball and procrastination makes all us other ADHD lesbians proud ✨

[@WretchedNightmare]

In solidarity, I am also a woman in STEM who broke her dominant hand in the second game of a double header and needed surgery but waited to see the doctor (had weekend tickets to a music festival so it was a Monday problem) so I feel this so hard.

[@ameliasparkles13]

Kitchen has such big Mama Bird energy, haha. You do ultimately mean well. Glad you’re on the up & up, Jen! ✨

[@alexismuckerman7939]

I'm just imagining how the conversation with the doctor went.. Doctor: so how did this happen? Jen, with a proud look on her face: I scored a home run. Doctor: ... Jen: oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't do it right tho

[@Boxgirl36]

After Jen said what they learned from all of this I just screamed “put me in coach” also this gives me rookie of the year vibes 🤣

Jorn is just so cute and Kitchen is just a mama bear

[@Betherick1985]

I’m also a member of the broken wrist club! And, coincidentally, I broke my left wrist and am left handed. My injury also happened while playing a sport- but it was kickball in 8th grade gym class. I was guarding 1st base, and a girl kicked it right at me. Naturally, I put my left hand out to block my face. The ball SMACKS into my hand, and bends my wrist back! It was awful- but I didn’t even leave school early to get it checked out. My injury happened right before our French class trip to Quebec, so I have a big blue splint on in all the group photos. And, after the trip was final exams… I had the worst time writing the essays for them. (Jeez, that was 23 years ago!) Anyway, glad you’re on the mend, Jen! 👍

[@Munchkin325]

I love when Kristen goes into mom mode with Jen. 😂 I dislocated my ring finger on my right hand....during softball practice in college ....and I'm right handed 😂. Nothing like doing damage to your dominant hand. I was casted for about a month before being splinted for another month, then did OT for about two months. My hand smelled like sweaty feet in the middle of summer when the cast was taken off 🤢.

[@amybryant6668]

I hope that Jen's wrist heals well and quickly. 💜

[@audisnewbeginning8616]

Kristen's "Mom" looks at Jen are awesome 👌. Get well soon Jen.

[@nayantaramajumder]

Read the title, instant thought - OH I'M PRETTY SURE SHE TRIPPED AND FELL DOWN FROM ONE OF THE CHAIRS AS USUAL, JUST THIS TIME SHE BROKE HER HAND RATHER THAN BREAKING THE FALL WITH HER HAND. 😅 Get well soon Jen! ❤️🤗 Glad your spirits are still high. 🤪 Ps. I abso-fuckin-lutely love how chaotic your videos always are. So relatable. 🙈🙊🙉

As soon as Jorn said at the end About going back to play softball, I can hear Kitchen/see a side eye stare 😂 it’s so profound, that I can hear the stare 😂

[@SixxOClock]

I relate so much to your experience, Jen. A couple years back, my knee buckled on me while I was walking down the steps to my backyard, and even though it was just *three freaking steps*, because of the way I landed, I ended up breaking several bones in my calf and foot. I was in so much pain I nearly passed out, but on the way to the hospital I kept telling myself "it's just a bad sprain" because I didn't want to deal with broken bones for the first time in my life. They took some x-rays of my leg, and initially the doctor told me, "looks like you broke a couple bones in your foot" and put my foot in a splint, then told me I needed to visit a specialist. Got to the specialist's office the next day, they took more x-rays, and they told me "well, looks like you broke both bones in your calf, five bones in your foot, and you tore a ligament. We'll need to do surgery to repair the damage." I was shell-shocked, I had no idea how to deal with that information. They ended up putting me in a cast that went all the way up to my knee, and I had to wear that for a few weeks until the day of the surgery. The surgery went well, thankfully, but I now have nine screws in my foot that will never be removed, so that's fun. Oh, and while I was recovering from the surgery, I had to administer a blood-thinning injection into my stomach every day for a month. c': I guess on the plus side, I got mostly over my fear of needles?

[@PokhrajRoy.]

As someone who has had a leg brace, constricted limbs smell more rotten than the state of Denmark in ‘Hamlet’.

[@princessfaith925]

I twisted my ankle on Sunday (and saw a doctor on Monday!!) so I'm definitely feeling Jen's pain

[@desiccatedXcorpse]

I can definitely relate to this level of denial 😅 glad you also had people to talk you into going in. heal fast! 🥰

[@22kmweaver]

Glad to see you're healing up! At least you weren't as stubborn as I was when I broke my ankle. I was walking on it for 2 weeks before the pain became so bad that I got it x-rayed!

[@ERYN__]

When someone is coy about how they injured themselves, I just imagine it's something really really bad. Vague is different, like somewhere in the ballpark of what happened, imagination rests.

[@leighleighm9722]

I relate to this. I thought I had sprained my ankle when I tripped off the side of ramp coming out of school when I was 21. It swelled up to 3x the size and was bruised. Went to the school clinic where they wrapped it. Went to the doctor for a shot 2.5 weeks later and she took a look at it while I was there, because it was still bothering me. Turns out I had broken a bone in my foot just below my toe (she could push the broken part up and you could see it on the skin on top of my foot). Whoops. She just sent me home with a tensor and told me to keep it elevated as much as possible. Good luck on your recovery Jen!!

[@aleperales1354]

JEN this cracked me up! I broke my pinky years ago playing baseball and thought the same thing, that I sprained it. I then went a month with a "bruised and swollen" pinky that I could not straighten all the way lol that's when I decided to go to the doctors, but by that time it was already healed all bent 😅

[@itselsanichols]

Jorn: “I’m a woman in STEM!” Kitchen: “You needed to be a woman in splint.” Me: [deceased]

The opening got me cause Im very much one of those people who doesn't like to "bother" or "make work" for people on weekends, early in the morning, evening, or night.

[@johannamckibben8575]

It's awesome that you have a cool story to go with the break at least. I broke my ankle 2 weeks ago and waited 4 days to go to Urgent Care. Long Story Short- If you think you have a sprain and have any swelling, please just air on the side of being cautious and dramatic and go to the ER/hospital. Worst case scenario you waste a night or 2 waiting to be told you're fine if you're fine. I fell skating and landed with my whole body piled on top of my left ankle. Once I finally saw a Dr.at Urgent Care she asked why I waited so long and said "bad news: it's broken, you should have gone to the ER right away?" She was really nice and informative and I was just stunned because I've never broken a bone before, and it hurt insanely when it happened, but was just a constant 4/10 after so I thought it was just a bad sprain. Yall, I was about to try to go to my restaurant job on a broken ankle. I couldn't put weight on it though, so I went to the ER, but it was going to be a 12hr wait, so I went home and went to Urgent care when they opened the next day. I didn't go sooner because it was too painful to move it at all the first 2 days, then it was chaos the next 2. I finally got a cast 2 WEEKS after my injury. Urgent care splinted me, sent me to my primary care dr. (who couldn't see me for a few more days). Then he referred me to the bone dr (which took the weekend to make the referral). And I finally saw the bone dr. (an hour and a half drive away) Now I have a cast and can't walk for 2 months. My follow up appointment is in a month. Jen is right, people do like injury stories though, even if they're not as cool as Jens, lol.

[@amurphy8278]

I am very glad you are on the mend!! About 17 years ago I dropped a 6' long iron bar on my foot and thought "It is just a bruise! I will be fine!" and I waited 3 days to go to the doctor because it was Christmas and I did it at work and had to wait for approval to go to the doctor and have them pay for it... LOL It was quite broken. I ended up in a walking boot for 8 weeks. I learned a similar lesson. Go to the doctor immediately!

[@Sailor_alan]

Jen is too cute literally a little ray of sunshine.

[@KatyAnn623]

To be fair to Jen, I broke that same bone in my right wrist (im right handed) a few years ago in school. I continued through my entire day (taking notes/tests, carrying books, etc) and went to dance class. It’s hurt but I had some functionality so I just assumed it was sprained. By the time I got home in the evening it was swelling and my mom decided that I should probably get an x-ray the next day. Also a few weeks ago my mom was bowling in a tournament. About halfway through the first game she tripped up sims stairs and stumbled into a counter. She was winded and it hurt but she continued to play 5 and a half games. When she got home it hurt to move but she just figured it was bruised. The next morning she called me and was like “I need you to take me to the ER”. Turns out she broke 3 ribs in the fall.

I’m so happy to see a new video on the channel! 👏🏽 (I missed your videos which give me life)

[@FangToh]

I got a similar injury when I was young, and I fully understand what it's like. The straightening is going to hurt. It took me 6 months to completely removed my cast, though mine is a little more serious than yours, I fracture both my bones and shattered some. Till this day my left hand is still really weak so please take care during your recovery!

[@ToastedWoobie]

I'm healing from a broken wrist (broke at the end of January). Shoplifter assaulted me. Good thing I had staff there because one of them wouldn't let me move. Which was good, or I would have had bones through skin instead of just a couple of breaks. Getting into the short cast is one of the best feelings! Be nice, out there, people!

[@sew_i_did5257]

Glad you're on the mend, Jen! I broke my wrist about 10 years ago (48 hours before my last semester of grad school I tripped on a concrete floor in the middle of a square dance, tyvm) and that thing is still a great barometer at times. Keep a few of those wrist braces around (CVS/Walmart/etc)........there are still some days when I can tell my wrist is just very unhappy and not wanting to cooperate, especially when I've been doing a lot of hand crafts stuffs.

I broke my arm on a bouncy castle when I was very young at one of my friends birthday parties, I landed on it a bit weird I guess. My mam was a bit embraced because I kept trying to play with things in urgent care. It just didn't hurt as much as you would really expect, but it also hadn't really swelled up yet. Fractured in two places.

Glad to hear you're on the mend Jen! I remember going to watch my husband play football (soccer) and one of his team mates was sitting on the side, I asked him if he was OK and he showed me his wrist. I was studying nursing at the time and immediately told him to go get it x-rayed. The following day he went and was told he had a small fracture, cast went on. Looking forward to the honeybear video x x x

[@ermac1463]

I played softball for 15 years and let me tell you... You're a champion. Lmao. I've had teammates been less of a baby in COMPETITIVE SOFTBALL. I broke my foot when I was 12 and played 2 more weeks before I went to the Dr. To confirm and kept playing anyway... then completely dislocated my pointer finger on my throwing hand and popped it back in place. Ran to the nearest coach with tape and went back out immediately. Then... I had my oldest son when I was 19 and 1 week after I got out of the hospital I went to try outs for a tournament (competitive) and made it. So I played my last tournament the next weekend with my 2 week old baby in the stands feeding him and pumping in between games. Lmao I was married and in college but wanted to play so badly still after I turned down scholarships that I HAD to play one last time. Best decision of my life.

[@violetsnotroses3640]

I totally relate to Jen's not wanting to go to the doctor after. I sprained my ankle twice within three months, and both times was convinced to go to urgent care, only to be told that it wasn't broken (which I knew) and that it would heal up in about a month (it's still not 100% six months later). Pretty much every experience I've had there has been unhelpful and dehumanizing, and I would be very reluctant to go back to urgent care after another injury if I wasn't bleeding or absolutely certain that something was broken. I don't say this to discourage others from going to the doctor after an injury, just to complain about urgent care specifically.

[@Delaney-and-the-Starlight]

I hope it keeps healing well and you can recover strength quickly once you can put force on the wrist again!

[@katwelch3042]

Broken wrists - my hubs was in a minor head-on auto accident years ago and one of his injuries was a broken wrist very similar to Jen's. It took the hospital almost a week to realize. Took a few days to notice the broken leg too.

[@justrenthx]

Thank you. I needed this today.

[@Emma-bq9pp]

Kristin, I had my GP tell me to go to the ER the next time I got two different kinds of Mysterious Symptoms that I've been having off and on for five years and I was like haha no I've had this every week for the last three months now and I'm not dead, so it's fine. The embarrassment of going to the hospital when it turns out you don't NEED to is a risk I cannot accept

[@KellyK2006]

I can relate - I broke my left wrist when I was 16. I hope you will feel better soon :)

[@ritadumler1685]

I broke my left wrist, had to wear a cast for eight weeks. Got the cast off and almost immediately sprained my ankle then a week later sprained my other ankle. I was an absolute disaster that summer. Heal well Jen and good luck.

[@bridgetaleshire1142]

Hey Jen, thank you for sharing this experience, and I wish you good healing! I had an accident this week where I cut the tip off my thumb, 👍 and have to immobilize it for a few weeks. I also had similar reactions of denial and pushing through the problem and pain and waiting before going to urgent care. Happy healing, friend!

[@EmBotBeepBeep]

I'm so glad Jen has been able to move to a removable brace! That must be such a relief. Totally unrelated but... Has... Has KZbin ALWAYS included an "Edited by" note under the title? Have I just been totally unaware of it this whole time? Is that an automatic feature or is that something that you guys opted to include manually?

[@DanielleSalerno831]

I'm also a leftie and I had almost the exact same injury in middle school, I broke my left wrist playing gym class dogdgeball (this was back on the dark ages when you used to be able to play dodgeball in school). I VERY AGGRESSIVELY dodged a ball and landed on my left arm. Lol. I had to wear a stupid cast that immobilized arm up to the elbow, and had to take class notes with my right hand! Good times.

[@mcc267]

I slipped and fell onto grass and in the .5 seconds it took for me to fall I sustained a tibial plateau fracture. Definitely get being in denial haha I didn't ask to see any of my x-rays until I was 9 weeks post-op. Seeing my x-ray with hardware and a healing fracture is where I felt how serious the fracture was. I spent 4 months non-weight bearing and another month+ weaning off crutches, then cane. The muscle loss is real! I'm 7 months out and still have a lot to work on to get my leg strength back.

My daughter had a similar break when she was 9 months old and was in a full arm cast, bent at a 90 degree angle too. And we had to have it replaced several times because she kept PULLING IT OFF. They had no idea how she was able to do that. I hope you are all better soon!!

I broke a finger at like 10 pm on a Sunday night. Definitely didn't want to go to the ER for it. Barely slept and was at urgent care the minute it opened. I had complications so it ended up being over 8 weeks of not being able to use my dominant hand! Honestly, I was about ready to just cut the finger off rather than try to get it to heal anymore!

Ouch, Jen!! I am glad you are healing nicely, at least!! Love story time!! On my first season playing softball in a gay league (we were also not very good), I slid/fell into 3rd base and tore my ACL. I was also like whatever it’s probably just really swollen and will heal on its own. I didn’t see a doctor until like a week later and then I did have to get surgery for it.

[@e.e.strickland4654]

I unfortunately did the same thing, but worse. I’m on vacation and was roller skating in a rink. I was doing pretty well for my first time (it wasn’t roller blades, it’s the roller derby style skates). I’m out of the rink and I go to look at something closer and I fall backwards, landing on my arm. I ended up wearing an ace bandage for about two weeks until we get home and, surprise surprise, find out it was broken the entire time! Clear break right through in the same bone as Jen’s 😬😂 In my defense one of the employees had me bend my wrist and said “Oh you’re fine. It’s not broken! You’re good!” I have no clue why we all believed them but alas, we did.

[@chridzy3939]

I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, and it was my first broken bone- this feels like solidarity
