 Hello my beautiful friends! It is the day and a half after surgery now and I wanted to give you guys a quick update and kind of take you through the day before and the day of surgery. First off, I think most of you guys know this but the reason I was having surgery is because I have not been able to use my prosthetic leg since late December early January. I had a really bad fall in a smash burger of all places. They had super greasy floors and no signs up and landed really really hard on my residual limb. That led to issue after issue and I had a really big burst that developed on one side of my leg and then I actually had another one develop on the other side of my leg. So before I say anything more let me just take you guys through the day before surgery and the day of surgery. So I just realized I should probably give you guys like the before shot. It's a little bit gross but I mean just fair warning. Alright so this is why I'm having surgery. If you look closely, it almost looks like I have matching horns on both sides of my leg. Those are definitely not supposed to be there. This is a bursa. It's really painful to press like from that side of things especially and you can see that there's like another one over here. Now this is probably like an osteocyte that's had something form over it. I'm not entirely sure. They're gonna go in there tomorrow cut open about two inches on one side, cut open about two inches on the other side, also remove the screw that is through the middle of my amputation. I'll put an x-ray up on screen so you can kind of see what I'm talking about. Hopefully all those things will get done and go smoothly. Completely unnecessary surgery prep step completed. I just curled my hair because it makes me feel pretty and I'm not gonna feel pretty for quite a few days. So I might as well go into surgery with my hair curled feeling nice. I think we're ready to go to Denver guys. Brian and I are safely in Denver in our lovely hotel room which I'm super grateful for and I'm tired and ready to rest. We stopped at a car show which was super awesome. Spent a couple hours there. He was super happy like a kid in a candy store which made me happy to see and helped me kind of relax before all of this. I feel ready for this. I feel ready to get done. I have a lot of fears and a lot of doubts but more than anything the predominant emotion is let's do this. You know it's time and so I'm ready to rest up. Surgery day. So how do you feel about Smash Burger in these moments? They caused this whole problem. I did. You see your bumps? Got that guy. Oh my God. Got that guy. Jesus Christ. I know it's beautiful isn't it? It's Smash Burger not Smash & Jordan. Come on guys. Got my sack on. Want some more ones? I'll get you one more. So I just got out of surgery. Apparently there were two verses as I expected and they removed the screw and I think everything basically went well so words are hard when you're coming out of anesthesia. Basically everything went well. I need more crackers and go home. Snacky snack time. It's been about nine hours in surgery. I'm safely home. I'm elevating my leg and icing it kind of 20 minutes on 20 minutes off. I've been sleeping a lot. Good morning friends. It is a day after surgery. Morning after surgery and I just got done reading through so many of your comments. I'm truly blown away by your thoughts and care and concern and just everything you guys have said. I can't tell you how much it brightens my day and touches my heart even when I'm groggy and barely with it like I am right now. It really makes an impact on me but I wanted to give you kind of just a quick update before I go back to sleeping because I'm pretty out of it. I made it through the night okay slept for like two hours at a time then I'd be up and then down again. When we were getting discharge instructions from the hospital yesterday the nurse said you know in regards to coming out anesthesia she gave like this long list of symptoms and then summed it up by saying basically you're just gonna feel like crap for the next 24 hours and that's so accurate. I don't know if anesthesia does this to you guys but it's more like 48 hours for me. I just feel like I've been hit by like a bus and I'm exhausted and groggy and nauseous and just like feel like poop so I still feel like poop. I'm just gonna try to keep my eyes closed and rest and get rid of his headache. Pain has still been pretty okay like it hurts but it's not bad. Keeping it elevated we got that it's under a blanket there and I'm gonna just go back to to the resting. I'm honestly not sure how many of these sentences have made sense because I'm pretty out of it so I'm gonna turn the camera off and and just take care of what I'm gonna take care of which is going back to sleep. That brings us up to current date which is now late afternoon on Friday so surgery went really well but something that was kind of funny I thought is my doctor talked to Brian and my mom he called me a trailblazer because he said he had not seen these kind of issues develop the way that they did before like he'd never seen it before. My body just does weird things but hopefully this will be the end of it. He doesn't expect them to reoccur they happened because of the fall and the screw is out of there. Generally speaking more than I think it's 60% of screws in urtile amputations which is the kind of amputation I have. Those screws end up kind of unscrewing themselves and so you end up having to have surgery end up having to have surgery down the road again. My screw was solid still but I didn't want to risk that and so I asked him to take it out if if everything looked healed enough and thankfully it was and so we removed the possibility of having to have issues with that screw down the road he took that screw out fixed up everything in there and now this just needs to heal the swelling needs to go down and all that so basically stitches are in for two weeks I'm taking it super easy for two weeks and then after that it's really just letting the incisions heal and pain go away and then I'll get recast it for a prosthetic if everything goes according to plan so that is the latest and greatest by the way if you're seeing that my leg looks really funny colored I promise you it's not infected they basically scrub your leg down and stuff for surgery and it makes it change funny colors until you can like fully wash it which I can't do because there's you know bandages and stuff on it right now so not to worry everything is normal and with that I'm gonna turn the camera off and get back to resting very busy just packed schedule today with resting and recovering and getting all the anesthesia drugs out of my system I've been chugging water like nobody's business trying to kind of flush everything out of here so hopefully I will feel like myself sometime in the near future I love you guys I'm thinking of you thank you again for everything and I will keep you guys updated I'll talk to you soon bye it is amazing how much energy it takes to like put words into words into words when you're this tired I think it's clear from that sentence that I should just stop talking
