Gross Kelly Ronahan, Vampire Munchie - Part of our ongoing cross-cultural exchange program with Lolcow.farm

[Fucking Pardon?]

"PT wildly septic, bilateral BKA now scheduled with accommodation for wound monitoring"

am not going to take a photo of a screen with my phone again.

Hope they swaddle her hands for the next few weeks at least.

this is the first time i’m posting because i read somewhere not to spark this forum up without new updates about Kelly so i don’t get mistaken for her. i’m really happy to be able to join in now and say holy fucking shit. i know this only fuels her fire, but i think about this woman every fucking day. not in a good way - i read through the entire forum before this and christ almighty, she’s very good at convincing herself how deserving she is of all these lifesaving procedures without ever once having to publicly own up to all her bullshit (i know she’s said stuff here and on the Farm but i mean like publicly).

i used to think, very naively and unanimously, that everyone deserves life, everyone deserves a second chance, blah blah blah, and then i saw Kelly, and i’ve slowly changed my mind. while, yes, i still think people deserve second chances, she seriously should have been forced to fess up to all her bullshit before being given anything. that’s now how the world, nor Canada works, but at least i can say that’s how i feel here. it’s bullshit she’s been able to stick to the “im a speshull fairie meddy mysterie!!” story the entire time. i don’t follow her socials; i don’t want her to get more attention and i also just like coming here for my updates. does it appear her “public” support has dwindled? i definitely think so from the blood-letting/stealing thing, since she was in the damn news and all, but i’m curious if her social following has either become disinterested or suspicious.

i also cannot believe someone has pushed themselves to the absolute furthest extent of self mutilation in the name of attention, and she still. won’t. stop. that’s why i can’t get her out of my mind. not just every disgusting spoiler i’ve opened or all the panic i get about drop foot when my calf starts cramping, but because i seriously cannot understand a human being who would do this to themselves all to gain medical and maybe some social media attention? just as another human with a brain, even if i started doing that to my legs, digging at them with tweezers and fucking scissors, i feel like i would have cracked much sooner and either stopped or admitted i have a fucking problem to get people to make me stop. how??? how can another human being still keep going??

i’m also in agreement with what i’m gathering is the majority verdict so far: she’s fucking with those stumps. after reading about her saga after the grafts (only 2 years ago?!?) and what happened once she was home, all the extra aftercare and restraints at the hospital won’t deter her again. i hope i’m wrong for the sake of my hope in humanity, but that’s nearly nonexistent so i’m definitely not planning on it.

also hi. again, i am not Kelly. i know the way i type can be annoying, i apologize. i am still happy to join the discussion finally

Emergency surgery of any sort can be quite fast and traumatic once a doctor determines that it's necessary. The patient often doesn't have time to ask any questions or even process what's happening, they have prepared carts full of sanitized tools and staff on standby in larger hospitals for anything from amputations to appendectomies, ready to cut into you at the drop of a hat. You can go from being seen by the doctor in the ER to being knocked out and on the table within 15 minutes. The shots of nursing staff running down the hallway while pushing a near-death patient on a bed into the OR on TV seem like OTT drama, but it actually does happen once the order goes out. Many people who go through this in the ER actually end up needing to speak to a trauma therapist ( hospitals usually staff them) once they wake up to help them process what happened, if they survive. A patient who is septic qualifies as an emergency surgery situation. She would likely have been knocked out and had her legs removed, then left in sedation while IV antibiotics are given and her blood count is monitored. The first night after is usually horrible, the fever spikes as the body fights infection and the patient can be quite ill, it's best to leave them knocked out. They'll keep her good and drugged up for a few days too, she probably won't even be able to hold her phone to look at it.

I know Kelly did this to herself and all, and she's going to enjoy the attention it brings, but she's been through something incredibly traumatizing, we may not hear from her for a while.

Based on the message @cuddle striker posted, it doesn't seem like it was an emergency. They said the amputation was scheduled, if it was an emergency wouldn't the surgery have happened before he took the time to post about it?

I'm not a medfag and don't know how different it is for amputations, but I know with many surgeries they have to take care of the infection before they can open the patient up. Maybe right now they are giving her huge doses of antibiotics and the surgery is scheduled in a couple days when those should be effective, but it may still be an emergency due to the sepsis.

Not a medfag either, but it just doesn't seem to make sense to let those rotting legs keep pumping poison into her bloodstream. The sooner they're lopped off, the better, it would seem?

"wildly septic" sounds like emergency surgery

 

[imterriblethanks]

She's definitely in the hospital; her sister Gina posted Instagram stories within the last 24 hours of a cat that looks like Chompy (?) If Kelly is in the hospital she's probably taking care of the cat...

Doesn’t she have roommates at the group house she lives in?

hmmm true maybe i'm wrong!

 

[cuddle striker]

wildly septic means she's at least on an IV drip- it didn't say if she was in hospital but I would think she is. "scheduled" can mean they are stabilizing her first or that it's already done. I have no way of knowing without messaging that doctor and I don't intend to get that involved.

 

[SquishThatCat]

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see her rip her stubs apart.
It’s definitely time for a new poll.

Re: Kellys insta. (Please forgive me if this comes out a bit fucky, I'm on my phone)

Photo of Chompy on “new” insta is taken in Kellys bedroom. Assuming it's not an old photo, her and the cat were home then.
Kelly and Gina are following each other on that account, which is using the profile pic that was on her “old” account. I assume this means the new account is actually Kelly.
Old account has a different profile pic now that I can't tell if it's Kelly, but maybe it's an old photo.
Kelly is saying the old account was hacked and deleted, but it's still there, could she be blocked? Or, she's running both accounts and making shit up for some reason.
The old account now has an absolute fuckload of content not visible before. It'll take me hours to look through it all. If anyone feels like grabbing anything interesting, please do.
Last SS is a comment posted on her old account one week ago, first post on the new account is six days old. Could this be why she started a new one? I've never seen anyone specifically mention her being a subject on IF. I don't use insta, can you delete comments?

Sorry for the long post, hope I'm not being too autistic/dumb.

 

[Sammyrye]

Lol. She always blows things out of proportion. Now tho, its really real. I dont think she knows what to even do with that.

It was always just fantasy and couldnt happen to such a ballerina. Except. She finally pushed to far. And now. For some some artard reason shes in shock.

Its a bit like chantal. Like. " whoa. I really did this to myself." Except. Kellys finally facing the horror of what she has wrought.. Idk if chantal ever will.

Kelly will get over it tho. She will be fine and pick her amputee stitches to sepsis degrees. She sets her importance on those ivs. Id like to know more about her birth and if her twin or sister almost died and thats why shes this way.

 

[Radiant Orchit]

It's such a self-defeating mental disorder too. She seems to desperately crave love and attention but then shoots herself in the foot (unfortunate expression in this case) by how she seeks it out. And there are still ways back! She can still be mildly crazy and live a reasonably good life getting e-asspats, but you just know she won't.

'I overcame severe mental illness and self-harm that cost me my legs, now I'm learning ballet again on my prosthetics <3' <- imagine the tide of positive attention, media features, uwu so inspirational

'Lol stump picky picky' <- the frustratingly likely actual outcome

 

[Fucking Pardon?]

yeah, you can delete comments from other people off your posts on insta.

edit: i thought you could??? but maybe i’m autistic. appears you can’t delete other people’s comments on your posts

that person is bold for stating she’s a “frequent” topic on IF. she’s barely a topic anymore because it always turns into “omg kelly get help”. from what i’ve lurked, most of the posters there know her munchies goes deeper than just getting pain meds or insta followers like their other “subjects”. plus she doesn’t post nearly as frequently as the other ones they keep track of.

You're right, she's not been talked about often on IF, just occasionally posted. I've commented here before how it's mostly just a hugfest over there, MS is just as bad, just bitchier. It's the same shit 'can someone fill me in' with replies that barely touch the surface, and dogpiling downvotes when your comment is just factual and isn't sympathetic to poor Kelly.
I've been lurking Kellys Insta for a long time, and followed for a little while now. I don't know if that changes what I can see, because I only have a look every week or so. The change in content viewable that I saw today was fucking astounding. I'd said before I think her Insta is carefully curated, and what's viewable seems to change. But holy snapping duckshit, what I saw earlier today had stuff I'd never seen anywhere, talked about maybe, but these are actual posts. Even a video of her from when she was in IC/Med psych hold. Looked like a jail cell, steel toilet with no seat, bare cell, high small windows, and surveillance camera. She said she had 10 minutes phone privilege, and posted a video.
As a living being that is suffering, of course I have empathy, even though she's done this to herself. She's also manipulative as fuck, and knows how to present herself to her best advantage.
I just wonder what's going on with the two accounts, the change of visible content, the IF comment, and the recent turn of events.
I know it'd never happen, but if she had a therapist/psych, I'd love to know what really goes on in her head, just because it's so absolutely unusual.

The content of her old insta has been there a least a couple of weeks, I went through some of her posts then, just to see if she ever gave any explanation for why her blood issue magically disappeared. I scrolled through it until around the time of the owl saga. I don't remember the exact number of posts her profile had but it was definitely in the thousands (which surprised me but I never really paid much attention to her insta before so I didn't think much of it).

I think she's managing both accounts now and pretending she was hacked for some reason (attention, probably). She could've easily reported it to insta and had it resolved by now if that was truly the case.

You can archive content on Instagram, meaning that content can appear and disappear as you like and you don't have to delete it.
Also, you can delete other people's comments on your own posts.

Yeah if the legs are indeed the source of her sepsis then they should be removed as soon as she's stable enough to undergo surgery. "Wildly septic" could refer to septic shock - dangerously low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, blood gas abnormalities, kidney injury, etc. Things they need to address first and foremost. She should be in an ICU, on IV antibiotics and under very close monitoring. In the meantime they may decide to debride some of the necrotic material at the bedside under sedation (without undergoing full-on amputation surgery.. just get rid of some of the septic source)

To the other poster who mentioned thinking about Kelly all the time, I'm with you. I had a dream the other night where I had rotten legs with chunks missing; I kept repeating to myself "my legs are perfect" trying to stop myself from picking at them; jumped in a pool with the dressings still on and allowed them to dry against my skin and was trying to psych myself up to pull the dressings apart knowing it would be super painful... anyway point being, this is dark shit and we need to take breaks from insta/reddit/KF as needed.
