Gross Kelly Ronahan - Vampire Munchie Who Destroyed Her Own Legs

[cuddle striker]

I can’t be the only one thinking that Kelly might be a Pill head?

Everything about her in any video she has shown up in screams “opioid junkie” to me, especially with how far she’s willing to go to hurt herself for medical attention.

she undoubtedly enjoys the side benefit of pain medication for her self-inflicted injuries.

also, hello again all.

catching up on hundreds of pages in multiple threads but yes I'm around. couldn't reset my password and gave up for the duration.

 

[cuddle striker]

pardon my double post. Again, I'm still catching up.

Wonder if dear Kelly is being discussed again over on that top secret doctor forum right now. I doubt she's with the same wound care specialist

I'm assuming it prevents screenshots. If that's the problem don't forget good old fashioned grandma style screenshots: taking a picture of the screen with another phone or your computer camera lol

I made contact with the wound specialist after reading their post, I gave it some time after posting here and created distance and good reason to contact them. (similar case came through and it gave me an excuse). They are still part of her care team. She is still picking/inflicting infection in her stumps. They cannot admit her for psych treatment inpatient because she does not meet current criteria there; she is not an immediate danger to herself, but a long-term one, so it's impossible to admit her. My ability to get this information is very limited, this is all I have.

hip-level amputation has been discussed. I do not know if it's been planned or done, but given a little time I can find out what the current status is. They were attempting to save as much tissue as possible in order to keep her as functional and mobile as they could; that doctor had not seen this kind of case before, at the time I spoke to them.

I don't doubt she will lose her legs to the hip.

Yes, you must register for the app with your current medical ID and be a registered professional, and you can't take screenshot- the images I was able to share were boomer photos, app on my phone, photo taken with someone else's phone, truly annoying.

Confirmed deceased I believe as well, isn't she?

Last time I spoke to those who would know personally, she was alive and no longer self-injuring. She was getting treatment for contracture of some of the scar tissue which was affecting her range of movement.

There's another woman who is often mistaken for her, who did die fairly recently- her photos were mostly of blood, clots on the floor, not of deep cuts.

edit to add: MAID is listed as an option in paperwork and handouts for potentially-fatal illnesses but is not suggested to patients unless they are in hospice. it must be requested by the patient, and guidelines don't allow for it to be offered to them pre-emptively. Of course it's in the news and people are aware of it, and therefore know they can request it or get more information about it. Many people have done this as an act of protest against poor care or conditions, besides those people who may actually need it.

@cuddle striker I am so glad you're back. People have been necroing this thread for ages wanting updates and discussing nonsense and hand-wringing, it's very good to have some solid information posted, and also to know she's still (figuratively) kicking.

It's very frustrating that she doesn't qualify for inpatient psych treatment (although I'm not sure how much use, if any, it would be in any case) and I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for her doctors to have to watch her slowly kill herself like this knowing that they don't have recourse beyond fixing her back up every time.

I'm not sure she would ever consider or request MAID even if she eventually qualifies. Given all she's been through and put herself through, she probably looks at her current life and health situation and thinks she is doing okay, all things considered. I wouldn't blame her for that, either; even if she knows she will eventually die from all this, with the right pain meds and social care/support she can probably still have a surprisingly reasonable QOL (relatively speaking, ofc). Every day she's alive might be another chance for her to pick herself into sepsis, but it also might be the day she decides it's time to leave her legs alone and engage with help.

All that said, I do wonder how her sister and family are doing. It must be excruciating knowing she's going to kill herself this way and having it be such an agonisingly slow process.

I know she's been admitted for physical issues- medical treatment for infection, sepsis, wounds, and blood loss. During these times she's monitored by a room sitter, but she's not always in hospital so she has plenty of opportunities to self harm. Medical staff find factitious/munchies and malingerers incredibly frustrating.

I admit the tooth loss startled me; I anticipated her stumps to be destroyed, but the teeth? unexpected! she's full of surprises, still.

I do not foresee MAID in her future. She doesn't want to die, she wants attention and care from medical workers. She'll do incredibly intense things to get it. Unlike most "cutesy" fragile baby munchie girls, Kelly has the guts to do things that DEMAND treatment.

you can discharge or ignore someone with the Woozies who comes in with a service Chihuahua and 157 stuffed animals.

you can't discharge or ignore someone who is carried in with a hole through their entire leg. her escalation is responsive. she understood when the jig was up with her "vampire" nonsense, and upped the stakes to keep getting what she wanted.

@cuddle striker out of interest, who was the recently deceased self harmer?

Any chance someone can edit the OP and flesh it out so people new to this grosscow don't have to go through nearly 250 pages for the best parts?

The OP just mentions her anemia, but from the latest posts, it seems like things have gone, much. much farther than that.

Oh bloody hell, did she finally die? Are you sure it was her and not Emo CutterGirl? I k ow the two get/got confused by people a lot of the time. The last I checked CIMH's thread I think someone was saying somebody claiming to be her boyfriend (or ex-) was saying she was still alive and just not posting anymore. Again though, given the severity of what she would do to herself it's no big shock if she finally went too far either accidentally or in a deliberate suicide.

I think you're right about Kelly. Unlike Cheyenne (who was likely over the moon to know she'd munched herself into effective martyrdom), Kelly wants ongoing care and attention and will keep herself alive to get it even as living becomes increasingly painful, arduous and difficult to sustain. She's unlikely to ever engage meaningfully with treatment and she knows she has ER staff over a barrel as regards giving her the attention she wants. She's a waste of medical resources in a lot of ways, but an absolutely fascinating one.

@Prokhor Zakharov you can use the highlight feature to skim through the pages and get the meat of a thread without all the fat and feelsposting in between. You could try DMing the thread owner or raising it in the BP meta one, but as Kelly's thread is effectively dead until she regains access to SM and starts giving milk again (bar updates like today's), I'm not sure how likely it is that the OP will be updated.

Since the thread is bumped, and someone asked: Gina is fine but continues not to mention Kelly-- ever. You'd never know she had a sister, let alone a twin sister. Instead, she continues to post about fully normal things: her cats, her walks and bike rides, her travels. She planted a vegetable garden for the first time this summer and has been excitedly updating about that. I do often wonder if she feels some sort of pressure to present as the exact opposite of Kelly.

We don't know much about their parents. From discussions on the other farms, I remember that the parents are divorced and have been for many years. I can't remember if there was ever confirmation from Gina or if it was just Kelly's word, but each sister was supposedly raised by a different parent (and that's why they use different last names). If Gina is in contact with either parent, she never mentions it.

 

[discombobulated]

Oh wow, I didn't know that.
That's surely bound to be a potential cause of all sorts of fucked-up-ness. Was there ever a suggestion of why they separated twins?

Seconding this. Did the judge handling the divorce really like The Parent Trap?

My recollection is that the parents split up, and then one child went with each parent. I'm looking for it now in the old lolcow threads. I've got four linked below, and she originally came up in munchie threads. There was also at least one containment thread that was just her arguing with herself.

Whatever the story of the parents, it is true that Gina and Kelly have different last names, and one surname is the father's, and one is the mother's. As for the rest, there's probably no way to know for sure.

While I'm at it, some archives.

Those are actually good threads for a walk down memory lane (with photos and schizo illustrations!).

Id love to know what each parent was like. I am quite curious that if the parents were switched, if Gina would have ended up like Kelly and Kelly would be more like Gina today. Though I am pretty convinced that whatever Kelly's mental issues are, they are at least somewhat genetic and she got that faulty gene expressed whereas Gina didnt (or at least she was able to overcome whatever issues she would have had via her circumstances or other genetic influences). Who knows though. I hope one day there is a decent dive into this family's psychology, but I also want to respect their (not Kelly) privacy about this too. My curiousity wins, though.

Spoiler: PL

I and my brother have a nuerological issue that isnt technically genetic, but the cause is one commonly faulty gene that in the vast majority of people with it do not have any issues at all because it never got 'activated' under specific circumstances. In our circumstance, the exposure to a very specific strain of influenza 'activated' the shit part of the gene and caused our issues. Had we just never gotten that exposure then no issues would have arisen. Pretty interesting imo lol.

Back in the days I used it they also allowed medical journalists to use it, which was not a lie at the time. I haven’t logged in for years so I imagine my account is gone.

The twin situation is interesting. I have a personal story about identical twins. Many years ago I had a female roommate who was an identical twin. They were raised in the same home but my roommate hated her sister and said it was mutual. They were opposites, so much so it was strange. My roommate was a sexual freak, and also quite mean; a thief who would screw the UPS guy or anybody walking past the house, and I don’t want to (but do know) why she taught her dog to lick with such enthusiasm. She was also lacking in hygiene. I soon decided she was putting me and others in an unsafe situation and moved. Her identical twin sister whom I met twice was incredibly nice, pleasant, stylish, and caring of her nasty sister, and it turns out was studying to be a religious scholar. My experience means exactly nothing scientifically, but it seems that in this case, either they had a nice childhood, or something went wrong, but they had very different reactions to it. I always found that interesting.

Sad to hear about Coldness. I had thought she’d finally gotten it together. That was no ordinary cutting though so I'm not surprised to hear she’d died.

The thread's subtitle seems to be updated (the legs part was not in the title originally) but the actual OP is original to 2017.

She had her legs removed in May 2021 but I remember hearing about how she pulled out either a nerve or a tendon as well.

Kelly was one of the first Cows I started following. I followed her back in 2019 (I lost that account). Thankyou Kelly for helping me learn the depravity of the human mind. To cut up your own legs, just to rub sit in the wounds for attention just fucks the normal mind up. I wish you peice but I know your screaming in Hell right now.
