Girl I have EDS And just had MPFL reconstruction. Recovery has been rough and I’m absolutely dreading PT, I’m 4 days out. I hope you feel better soon 💕

[@graysonisaworkinprogress5995]

Natalie Johnson I had MPFL reconstruction in 2019!!! Biggest tip is to put weight on it as soon as possible. If you're on crutches, use the crutches and land with both feet, distributing weight evenly. Good luck with pt!!!

Natalie Johnson I tore my cartilage and I have to get surgery soon I’m scared

[@mareikekeller9688]

Hi Mickey, so happy to see you on KZbin! I just don‘t get Instragram - I so much prefer watching your vlogs here. Hope your knee will be better soon! Love from Germany

[@jadeweichert5403]

I feel u with the burning pain I just had surgery on my foot a week ago and I was crying from that burning feeling for 2 days

[@millisagable1318]

What's the burning feeling from?

[@MyAsteriskLife]

I hate that feeling too!

[@helenjames6982]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@samanthac.8670]

[@michetrue-aspoonielife4me389]

[@christinewalsh7824]

You are always optimistic. Stay strong and keep smiling your beautiful smile. I know it's very hard, but love your attitude. Hope the healing goes well and the pain continues to subside.

[@raresuperdark]

we love a knee surgery queeeen. my incisions looked the same but i had a third, about an inch and a half long vertical under my kneecap on the left side. i had my ACL fixed a few years ago. going in for round two soon! hope your recovery goes awesome you’ll be back at it in no time💕

[@renee9928]

Within one yr I had a torn meniscus repair which caused a huge Baker's cyst to form behind my knee..I have CRPS in my feet.. They tried to prevent the spread by a nerve block but I came out in extreme pain.. They did another nerve block.. Unfortunately the CRPS spread and I have nerve damage to the knee.. No sensation underneath the knee cap..I also had osteoarthritis in my thumb joint to which they had to remove the bone.. They also tried a nerve block.. My hand got infected around the pin site and now I have CRPS in my hand.. My pain has increased and my grip is garbage.. Both my knees are going to crap and my hand is not ok...I am too scared to say anything because any surgery is just making things worse... Regardless of all that, I watch your videos and feel silly for wanting to just lay in bed and never leave.. Like you have so much going on and you show more positivity that I wish I could have.. Just know you're inspiring me to get up and face the world with a different attitude

[@SaroDantra]

Thanks for posting this vlog. I know how stressful surgery is for you and I've been wondering how you're getting on after seeing your bone break in your last vlog. Plus this whole pandenic thing that's going on. But as always, your positive attitude is both infectious and inspiring! I hope you're healing well and staying safe. Think I'll go watch the other vid you posted now too! Two videos in one day, you're spoiling us Mickey! 😄

[@brennaolewinski722]

I tore my meniscus last summer. I did not have to have surgery, but wishing you all the best and a fast recovery!

[@katiebobat8e]

Love you girl! I'm hoping you're recovering well!

[@CutieVal96]

I have had 3 arthroscopies and it is so weird but kind of satisfying watch the tip of stitch fall off. Feel better soon. Lots of loves.

[@MyAsteriskLife]

[@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780]

😳 Thats A LOT of Bandages! Glad it went well. Hopefully the swelling goes quickly down.🙏❤️

[@jonkicker1278]

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I hope you feel better soon.

[@TORITHEGUMMYBEAR]

I feel for you! Feel better soon! I had an arthroscopy done awhile ago as well and they discovered I had damaged all the cartilage lining my femur so they had to remove everything sadly. I have Osteoarthritis now unfortunately. When your cartilage is damaged, as you have described, it flaps around much like a torn meniscus would so I understand how bad it must hurt. Sending good vibes your way!

[@MyAsteriskLife]

Tori 👍🏻

[@celiaedwards93]

I pray that you get better soon Mickey, and I’ll keep you in my prayers.

[@KylieMaples]

I’m about to have hip surgery for hip dysplasia in April. I hope you’re doing okay ❤️❤️

[@chrisswinerton9603]

so happy to a lttile video. miss them so much, but we all know how much you have to deal with regularly. hope your knee is doing well now. and hope you and your family are safe up in minnesota. ❤️🙏💪😀

[@pphackerxxl2007]

That feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow 😈💙

[@corrogal]

Your lucky they didn't cancel your surgery. In Canada all surgeries/procurers (unless life threating) have been canceled due to Covid-19. They canceled mine and I have been waiting 1.5 years for it already. I hope this pandemic doesn't last long. I hope you are healing well!

[@mariekedufresne53]

corrogal there’s a lag in her posting vs when she had her surgery I think

[@annaz1105]

Missed you, glad you’re back.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

3:26 It's better than in the previous scene. I do hope you'll get through all the trouble soon.

[@autumnstarr8661]

Hi honey, how's your knee doing now? I just had knee surgery a month ago today and got diagnosed with having eds yesterday.

[@marissamullins8318]

Honestly the worst pain I experienced with my arthroscopy was when the stitches had to come out 😬 my pain meds really helped me out. I know pain meds don't really help you a lot, and your having EDS adds to the complications of recovery, but I hope your knee continues to improve and the swelling is minimal!

[@raresuperdark]

Marissa Mullins i couldn’t imagine having stitches. they used glue and steri strips on mine. hope your recovery went well!

[@chelseamiller9743]

i had the same burning pain after i had a surgery on my meniscus(arthroscopy) i had a tear and 4 bone chips it went away after a few days but it was definitely uncomfortable and tylenol helped a lot

[@ambermarie8885]

How are you now dear, I'm getting this same surgery next week

[@gracehanmore5755]

Hope everything is okay after the surgery and please can you do a room to video when you’re feeling better xx

[@Timothy-NH]

Hey Kiddo! Thank you for sharing this, hopefully, your knee will be back to normal... even better than normal, really soon. How is your little sister doing? How is her back? Keep being awesome, Mickey!

[@sierraholbrook4580]

those incisions are just like mine in my knee like I had almost two years a go

[@savannahm5529]

[@mystripedlifetori2280]

So glad to hear that all went well

[@MyAsteriskLife]

My Striped Life Tori 👍🏻

[@xcalabur18]

Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!

[@thatonegirl570]

xcalabur18 For me, I feel nothing and then all of a sudden I feel a strong desire to close my eyes and then BAM. I’m out. Then in an instant I’m awake in recovery.

[@samanthac.8670]

i had surgery yesterday and i don’t remember getting put to sleep at all!

[@NicoleRuiz-l8i]

I want to say I hope you feel better

[@katelynphillips4916]

Have you heard of CRPS? It is a type of pain syndrome. I have had 8 surgeries on my legs due to EDS and CRPS has always intensified the pain.

[@loriscurlock8890]

I made a mistake watching this video now, I have to have knee surgery soon and now I’m scared because it looks super painful. I wish you the best recovery

[@penlopehaynie1991]

You are so brave girl keep fitting you are a Warrior

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

So glad you’ve come through this well, sweetie xxxxxxx

What time is your knees surgery

[@ioletmcfarland3017]

I had knee surgery 2006 I'm still having problems with it 🙃 😅 but the dr. Told me that it was not guaranteed i was in a wheelchair for 2 years

[@ronhutchcraft2290]

that's a puppy 🐶 🐕🐶❤️❤️❤️

[@allyscarrow7235]

we are pretty sure i tore my meniscus, last year, so im getting an MRI on thursday to see if i need surgery :/

[@monikakamila]

Your doggy is adorable 😍

[@MyAsteriskLife]

Monika Kamila I know right

[@funr37]

Hi! Idk if you will se this but I’m getting a knee arthroscopy and I’m terrified of anesthesia and I was wondering how it was. Like did you black out immediately or slowly loose conciseness

[@LifewithStripes]

They start the anesthesia either through your iv or a mask and often both at the same time. Getting put to sleep is absolutely nothing to worry about! After it starts you kind of wait for a few seconds, but then you don't remember anything. You don't remember falling asleep, it's not a slow process. Its quick and easy and there's nothing scary about it, I promise. Then you just wake up! Most of the time they start the meds and i'm waiting for it to take effect and then suddenly i'm waking up in recovery. You can do this, I promise anesthesia isn't anything scary!

[@funr37]

Life with Stripes okay Thankyou!

[@6Fiona6_P_6]

Long time no hear or should that be no watch ( well it's a vid post isn't it?)? ...... wow surgery has come a long way. Years ago people getting that kinda surgery would've be left with great big scars. Sending thoughts and positive vibes. Hope you recover real soon .... ☮️⚛️💐

[@lisawinters4681]

I think the only thing that saved me after having this surgery was a nerve block they did on my left leg. I hope that you ste recovering well I know that you had this done a few weeks back.sending you lots love hugs and love with all the other stuff going on right now.

[@1handedmedia]

Cant find the linkto the other video can someone help me please im legally blind

I have cartilage delamanination myself but I can't have a MRI that they need to have done they found it through x-ray

[@TheArmybrat12]

Evangeline Durgerian can I ask why you can’t have an mri?

[@evangelinedurgerian8767]

@@TheArmybrat12 because the MRI i need is called a arthogram and I'm allergic to MRI contrast
