The Ups And Downs Of The Past Year Since Breaking My Back

Hey my lovely
I can't believe it's been a year already. You guys have been absolutely incredible and I'm not gonna lie. There's been a lot of ups done. Have some tough times but it looks like we're on a green path. I really work hard to try and be positive, I just think of those may not have the same. Your back plan on doing it again call me and I can make you guys know. Paragraph paragraph thanks for watching as always.

Dear Hollie, you're a fair lass. Keep being you.

[@donwilliams3626]

What a difference a year can make. I'm glad you are able to do more building and wrenching. Thanks to Walter for being such a caregiver this year. May you continue your recuperation and rehabilitation well. Blessings, Don

[@user-qd4nc9jc3u]

LOVE having you back . Your smile was missed

[@horneygeorgeforge7079]

I'm so glad to see you back to almost normal, your trauma is a factor of you enjoyment now I'm guessing. this what i recommend, take mischief maker back to Houser and take you time and just play. yes i said go back to the owe place! concur that fear even if you now you dont think its still lingers.. start out slow and just explore the trails at least at first. ask me how I know... it does help! some call it "Facing the Boogieman". good luck, have fun and be careful!

[@DesertRunner9875]

When I was out there and we did the video, I had damaged my foot. It is still healing. Age and diabetes slows that process but all is well. I am so glad you are healing well, I am looking forward to your next adventure!!!

[@Livin2relaxat55]

Keep kicking ass! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. What you’ve done and are doing is inspiring! I know all too well how unexpected health issues can take a toll on you physically and mentally.

[@robink2563]

I missed you and your channel during that 5 months. I am happy that you are back.

[@sethtriggs]

I tell you what, seeing that again really hits hard, made me choke up a bit. That was one of the most frightening things to see. So glad to see you have had such a recovery and such great support! Glad you listened to the doctors! And we're all glad to have more of you experiencing your joys of life!

[@rvnewkirk]

We are all happy to have you back to do the things you love to do.

[@philipmeyer298]

Those with back pain, whether injury, age or other factors, can relate to how you feel/felt. Turn the page and keep moving. Show us more wrenching in your videos, mistakes and all! We'll keep watching. :)

[@papatomsthoughts]

I understand the ache and pain in the back. I did not break mine but have other issues of spine and am in constant pain. I do what I can in stages, rest, work, etc. You have been an inspiration to many. God bless😊😊😊😊😊

[@krawlerkingdom]

Been one giant whirlwind of a 12 months for you guys. I’m super excited to see what your next year looks like !

[@samperea8348]

Glad to see you doing so well a year later! Would love to see the KOH footage someday.

[@jeffclark2725]

Your back injuries are real insparation to build a rig, of our own, Your Mischef Maker is really set up with seat belts and harness, look forward to the future

[@EnufIsTooMuch]

Much sympathy (or is it empathy?) here for what you went thru. I completely understand the stress and difficulty of going from being very active, into doctor ordered bed rest while your body heals. Then, coming out of a long period of forced sloth, the hard work of regaining lost muscle strength and just your energy. For me it was reconstructive surgery of both feet (structural failure, weren 't made to plan, not an accident). A very difficult year of bed rest and physical therapy. You did the right thing, made the right decision listening to the doctor and taking the safest, longest recovery path. Well done!

[@charlie6048ify]

I felt all your anxiety, I went through not being able to do much with a heart condition a couple years ago. Had family and friends wonder why I didn't want to climb the stairs to my wood shop and not being able to do anything or get back down the stairs without a half hour break of sitting. Eventually they saw my issues 8n person and wondered how I was copping. It took 3 years to get on the correct medication and the past six months I'm finally able to mow my yard and do laundry or drive to get groceries without feeling so drained that all I wanted to do was lay down and sleep. I've always been active, sometimes working through lunch nonstop til dark on projects. Driving from customer to customer doing handyman work. To say the least it socks, to be that tired. And have pain. I'm finally getting by strength back, but at 63.5 yrs old it's taking a long time. I'm fully retired living on SSI and trying to stay active at home and at church. Keep building your muscles and endurance. Your young and will bounce back completely. You are an inspiration to us all. ❤

[@stevewilcoxson7173]

Hope that did not deter you. PreRunners are really a blast. That is how I found your show from Terra Crew.🏁

[@coreywallschlaeger210]

You are awesome, I love your channel and I am happy to hear you are getting stronger each day! Keep you the great work!

[@allenpence6426]

So glad you’re back. Working in the shop is hard and what causes the pain is the constant hold a certain position. Take always it will get better.

[@charliemclaughlin1042]

I never even knew you were injured I'm glad to see your doing good though 👍

[@trjnsd6874]

Thanks for the update Hollie! Glad to know you are healing. PT and regular exercise are boring but mandatory. There are so many nerves and small muscles involved back there; they take much longer than the bones to heal and regrow. The pain is Real. Nice cart! Paint it blue..?

[@TyphoidSnaily]

Back injuries are absolutely terrible. I broke mine about 12 years ago in a Motorcycle Accident and it completely changes everything!! Im glad youre doing better and definitely glad youre able to walk!! Please dont overdue it. I did way too much in November and ended up back on the hospital for 4 days. Even 12 years later. Keep your spirits up!!

[@m.webber5118]

So thankful, your back! A very scary video.

[@scottmorgan2239]

So happy that you’re doing a lot better. Please take more care of yourself. I love watching your vids and hope that you keep on making content. But one thing to remember is that the hobby/sport/addiction that most of us are into is an extreme sport where bad things can and will happen. You take it the best you can, but you can never give up! I’ll pray for you and yours! Keep on doing what you do, and remember that your fans will always be there.

[@wb2dx717]

this video was way way overdue. hopefully you do many more like this one. it was nice to get a glimpse of you in your natural state and to see a wee bit of the personal side of Hollie. women are like cars. a great paint job may look good however if the car doesn't run is it really good? looks are but mere paint and what's inside is the true beauty. thank you Hollie🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

[@marklong4111]

Just wanted to let you know that you are an inspiration. I grew up offroading,and in August of 2020,I broke my neck in a car wreck. I had to have a 3 vertebrae fusion done,and was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis. I'm starting to get back out there,and playing with my XJ now. Just knowing what you went through,and have accomplished is very inspiring to me. Thank you for being a very strong individual,and showing us it can be done!!!

[@kevbev1524]

I've had back problems for the last 2 years, OMG, it'll be 3 years in August, I've had 6 spinal injections and procedures, I'm sick of being a burden and not able to fend for myself, You were an inspiration and gave me hope for a second try with doctor's, that didn't work out, so I don't know what to do. ❤😢 Anyways I'm so happy for you and your health.❤

[@rgllovesdogs70]

I remember a year ago we were all scared for you 😢😮😢😮😢😮 so glad u recovered n grateful u still bringing us awesome Content. Thanks 💯 realy like what u bring fo all of your Lovelies😂hahahaha. ❤

[@thomashawks4502]

I can relate. I had a back injury and went thru surgery. I am left with paralysis in my right leg and I can't stay on my feet for very long. I am going one day at a time. I lost my job because of it.

[@MarkoMygun]

I think you've done a great job coming back after that accident Hollie. I think you've surprised a lot of people on how well you've done. And all the accomplishments you've made is AWESOME. There are people that have had the same injuries and it takes them years to come back and some never do all the way. Your doing AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 Thanks for the video

[@DallasandPhyllisLemon-pb2ry]

Oh Hollie. I was so concerned about you, and it was quite obvious how much pain you were in at the time of the accident. But here you are a year later, completely healed and loving life! I am so happy for you. Keep up the great work, (and as you would say) my lovely. 😁

[@Kentucky4runner]

Weird that it’s has been a year. @PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod asked the question today, if you could go back 15 years and give yourself advice. I think that 2039 you will happily say thanks for listening to the doctors and just shutting down and taking it easy and letting yourself heal. Great job on doing it right!

[@Reaglesracing44_]

glad to see you back up and going! keep up the blessings in life!

[@harveystephens6115]

You had an Angel watching over you!!!!! TYJ!!

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Very happy you are doing well Hollie! Been fun watching this past year. I don't know Blake personally but I'm sure he still thinks about this accident daily. P.S. as someone with a lifelong autoimmune pain disease I can relate to always hurting. It can be extremely frustrating when we just want to get things done. Especially things we enjoy! Take care Hollie.

[@joepitts3638]

That was such a freak thing to happen, I am glad that you listened to the doctors, and that you were in a financial position that you could listen and take the time to heal. I've always been curious as to your relationship with Blake over this, as I'm not placing any blame on him, but I am sure he feels a little responsible even though he did not do anything wreckless or careless. I'm glad you are on the mend and most importantly back in the driver seat. Keep working on those back muscles.

[@surfntchr]

So happy that you are back and listened to doctors' orders! It was great to meet and talk with you and Walter at LS Fest West. Stay positive and keep it up to enjoy life!

[@garydube7476]

I broke my back in 1978 during storm Larry. I feel it today in 2024. I fractured my spine in the lower lumbar.

[@terrancegrant5573]

I remember that whole episode n how me n others always checked on u supported u and begged u to stay still cause u were going looney from doing nothing for so long

[@mudman98TJLocked]

I'm so glad you recovered from that incident.

[@Orange_Quarter]

You said in a previous video that you were about to get more merchandise in the future. Ima tell you what I would like. I want one of the STS hats, black (with the blue logo) and dark gray under the bill instead of green, in a fitted variety. If you ever sell that, I will buy 2 of them.

[@shannonhaley9126]

Ms Lovely, you're perseverance, shows in both your building and healing. Being hurt and upset is ok. You showed all us viewers very positive ways to get through tough times. You're a very much respected individual in the sport you participate in and promote with a degree of positivity us viewers and your colleagues absolutely admire and appreciate. I'm glad you chose to not give up. Thank you for showing us all what it takes to heal and succeed. Much love ❤

[@annsecrest9794]

Im so glad you feel like you are back to what is normal for you! So looking forward to Walter and you ( w Mischief Maker & Nessie(?) ) at Smokey Mt Jeep Invasion this year. I will have to give you a hug and be so happy to see you guys again!😊

[@ateamoffroad1179]

We have been praying for you guys. And so happy you have recovered so well. We love how big of a heart you have.

[@kevinbates5796]

So glad you healed and decided to keep going!

[@Stew4arts]

Holly, we Love you and are so happy to see you back at it . Had my back done back in January its now five months back healed very well but its the muscles that need to come back so exercise is the key still doing them from therapy and getting better. Stay cool to your school.

[@randyengle7691]

Great bounce back from a bad injury. Those Vulcan cabinets are pretty ok but hella heavy. I’ve had one for about 10 yrs. No problems yet

[@jeffreysmith4304]

Extremely Proud of your Resiliency & Fortitude Keep on Fighting the Good Fight

[@TwistedOff]

👍

[@de3562]

Keep getting better glad your back.

[@graciel3725]

So glad you are ok! I had 2 fusions years ago. Arthritis still gets me so we are moving west. But I do my exercises when my back starts to act up and it's good. Main thing, know when to quit.

[@dalecronk4377]

Your amazing,

[@danielroberts5230]

i feel you i broke my back in 2016 it took me 2 years to have my surgery and i ended up with 10 1/2 inches of rods somrtimes i dont even want to get out of bed.

[@OverlandBritishColumbia]

Yaa i Watch you ever sunday Funday!!!!

[@robertr4193]

Main thing to remember is to take care of yourself try to stay safe and healthy while still doing what you want and what you enjoy. Push yourself just enough to be happy with you what you are doing but not so far as to hurt yourself again.

[@steven.h0629]

Very Happy for you Holly! 👍😎✊

[@levimcfadden1516]

Glad your getting better. This july ill be 3 years out from my back injury and still have my bad days but they are getting further and further apart and its ussually cus i did something stupid to mess with the muscles

[@cliffastuntmanansquatch8802]

Pickle Juice helps muscle spasms. When I was with yall at wolf caves that's what I was drinking alot. Slow stretch's help. Physical therapy helps I go once a week.

[@marilynmagill6409]

Do not let your back get cold,come Winter, and try out the Stretch Lab in St George. 46 years since I messed up my back.

[@GeorgesBrown]

You’re the best!!

[@ps.saunders1031]

Stay strong!!!!😊

[@user-hz4bp6vh1t]

Fantastic, take care.!😊

[@lukesworkout2232]

I came here to say something unrelated to the video, and I haven't watched it yet. I can say I hope everything heals good, I've been struggling with lower back issues for over a year now and it's scary, you never know if or when your body will heal. What I wanted to say is I've become a fan of the off roading I've seen on KZbin and some of the content creators are apparently not a fan of me which indirectly makes me not like them. Matt's Off Road Recovery, Tom Tom's Garage, and Bleepin' Jeep have all apparently blocked me on KZbin from being a subscriber to their channels (maybe it's a coincidence or maybe their affiliated). Since your channel is very similar to theirs I wanted to thank you for not blocking me, and hopefully you never do.

[@MischiefMakerTV]

Luckily everything has healed nicely, but it did come at a cost. Thank you for the will wishes!! Sorry to hear you have been blocked. I typically never block anyone. KZbin or Instagram…I don’t live for applause or get bothered by negativity & feedback in the form of comments is simply part of the game. I’m here to create and share content and people can feel however they want about it. 😊

[@rmmccoy51]

Dearest young lady, I am now realizing how much I have missed your videos. And I wanted to tell you about my compression fracture experience. Let me see now, I was a "youthful" 70 when my back reached its point of culmination. Sadly my breaking point does not have a story of jumping sand dunes and rock crawling (boy, that sounds like a lot of fun) but it just wore out I had back pains for over a year before it finally fractured, compressed, broke, it did something and that was my worst pain ever. But we (the we being my doctors and me) misread the symptoms and the problem spot continued to compress, break down, and whatever else on its way to a breaking point. I wanted the medical people to put the cement stuff into it but doctors have this responsible fear of slicing into a somewhat working spine; so I wore a stylish back brace for some months. I am overly aware of every ache and pain in my back and so far, so good. Except that I can't dial back the aging clock, dang it anyway..

[@hillrodfilms5262]

I crushed a vertebrae one time it was horrible wore a back brace for six months

[@scooter041031]

The muscles never fully heal. I've had a back injury for going on 20 yrs and the muscles still have their days that they just are tense and try and protect that area. You'll have to learn to deal with them. Lots of ibuprofen, stretching, and massaging will help.
