Well, it looks like Judd has found himself a new girl. She appears outwardly normal. Honestly happy for the guy.
Jaq died pretty recently didn’t she? He’s moving on pretty fast and good for him.
 
SOS is in the process of discovering the farms. She posted about lupuswithlauren being mentioned

Super curious if she'll make her way here; I think she's just going off screenshots so far.
 
Last night in her live, she was talking about how she wanted to discharge herself asap, but couldn't because she'd need surgery to remove the tube, so she'd have to wait for morning, all of which lines up with what you said. I'm dying to know what the doctors are thinking and if they have a plan for her. From what she's said, it's a small hospital, so I would imagine she's taxing their resources.



Unless I also missed something, this is her first. There's no evidence of her having had one before on her insta or her blog. Is bridling what it sounds like? They kind of attach the tube inside your nose?




He's not deployed. Recently (during this hospital stay), he's been taking care of their kids. He does have his own insta, but hasn't posted since December 2018. In her live last night, she mentioned that she was raised by her grandmother, who is now deceased, and that the closest family they have is an 18-hour drive away. So I don't know if we can draw too many conclusions from the lack of family attention.

I was looking through her insta last night and her attitude towards chronic illness really struck me. As an example, check out how she responds to people. This is a post from a couple of weeks ago about how her 2yo is also "chronically ill." She posted a video of the kid crying and kind of holding her head, which to me just looks like it could be teething, a cold, an ear infection, and/or a 2yo crying because that's what they do.

Anyway, people commented in various ways trying to express support, and she was just unequivocally defeatist. Basically everything she said was some form of, "There is no cure. There is no way to help. We are chronically ill and that's the end of the discussion." It's like she thinks of chronic illness as this magical land that she and her daughter have crossed the threshold to, and suddenly they're in this place where doctors don't know anything, and there are no possible treatments, and they can never exit, and nobody can question her because she is Chronically Ill. It's very depressing.

Her live last night was fascinating. I noticed she put some of it up in her stories if anyone wants to watch. She was going on and on about how horrible the hospital was, although the only actual event she described was that, after the first GI doctor approved her tube surgery, eventually a "random" GI doctor she had never met before came in, told her she was anorexic, and cancelled the surgery. As of last night, she had already contacted social workers, the hospital's patient advocate, and a malpractice lawyer about this. Oh, and she called her cardiologist's "urgent" line and left a message for him. She's really counting on the cardiologist to come through for her; she kept repeating last night that he would be "mortified" to find out how she had been treated.

At one point some nurses came in for the change of shift, and she left the live on so we got to hear the nurses being over-the-top nice to her, and mentioning that they'd seen the documentation of how unhappy she was. They were really committed to the "oh you poor thing" approach to her, I'm assuming because they're terrified of her causing more problems? I will say that she really does have charisma, much more so than the blobs like Ren, and that she's pretty as a speckled pup. I'm assuming that these have something to do with her cardiologist's willingness to bend over backwards to get her what she wants.

Hilariously, she was also very clear about the fact that, if she were to leave the hospital, she wouldn't be able to get admitted to another one. She clearly knew that she was only there because her cardiologist pulled strings for her, but it never seemed to occur to her or her followers that maybe if you have trouble getting admitted to a hospital it might be a sign that you don't need to be hospitalized? Just maybe?

That live was incredibly hard to endure so thank you for already paraphrasing the just of it. The nurses and cnas at a hospital basically have to be as nice as they can to you. Some who aren't meant for nursing will definitey let their inner bitch show but what happens at the nursing station is what is the truth. Not the bedside. The nurse from the live was mostly just trying to not have her leave ama. And I'm super confused why she was so upset. Yea the doctor called her anorexic. Big deal. She was still set to get the surgery she just had to get through 20 hours of feeds at a normal rate (50-60mls). She was on live for about an hour getting feeds at 10ml an hour for who knows how long before and after. She was tolerating them just fine, no gagging, pain, etc. All she could mention is her hand vein was already blowing cause she could feel it. Too bad all hand ivs hurt. Everyone in the comments were kissing her butt entirely, prompting her to call the police or sue. All she kept saying is she didn't feel safe cause the mean doctor was going to do a blind surgery (a surgery that's not so blind, I think, as he was checking her feed tolerance, he sounded like he was actually trying to streamline the surgery so they could get her fed and home instead of waiting for a busy hospital such as the uw to open a bed, a process that could take days or weeks).

But alas, several hours... Like 8 or 9 after the live, she started to not tolerate the feeds and now couldn't leave as she was seizing and vomiting (yet posting stories during and doing neither?). But if she isn't tolerating feeds, they can't do the surgery so why is she staying still? Oh yea cause she knows this is literally her only chance to have a cute button over a nose hose.

Followers trying to tell her she's getting the help she needs and maybe not to complain about it so much.

People still calling her our for not keeping her story straight. Like I thought you already get sick when you eat so none of this should be new to you complete with a follow up of ass kissing from a loyal fan. All ass kissing gets basically ignored BTW. Way to tread people who care enough to kiss your butt while you tarnish a whole hospital trying to help you.

Constantly complains about how they starve her and yet... Oh hi guys I am attached to feeds and will be all night cause they are following protocol and slowly titrating up my feeds for me.
She also mentions 5 or 6 times how it's suture when no one asks about removal or anything about it..
She sounded like a drunk robot just repeating herself over and over. I eventually skipped through the end cause I was gouging my ears out.

awww look who chimped out because she found out she was posted here. lauren, i am most definitely NOT one of your friends

hmm she’s posted a play by play of her getting every munchie toy in the last three weeks and how she’s in “soooo much pain” from her unnecessary port surgery but hasn’t posted any of the other aids she used in the past 7 years....doesn’t add up

How fucked up would it be if she turned munchie in a couple of months?
You know... the fact that their first facebook-official date was at Disney made my munchie alarm go off in my head.

Like what if she's another Jaquie skinwalker. And now she's got Judd and soon she'll have Harlow tied to her and be scooting around in a barbie car of her own? Please let there be vlogs. There's a huge Jaquie-and-Skinwalker shaped hole in my heart (although someone just sent me photos taken of my favourite skelly in the wild :feels: :feels: :feels: )
 
Do we get bonus points for making a munchies IG?

Speaking of SOS, anyone notice she isn't getting any skin reactions from all the medical tapes/adhesives even with her EDS MCAS? For being starved for so long from GP she has very healthy hair and reasonably long nails too.

Us and all the Jaquie skinwalkers who've been competing to take her pink barbie car munchie throne are so stupid. It's the perfect plan!

Man. Why didn't I think of this? I could have had a service dog, a hole punched in my abdomen, a drug addiction, and an untimely death due to exploding viscera by christmas!

When I was growing up in there was this crazy conspiracy theory that kids were being kidnapped at Disney World and taken down into the utilidor tunnels to be brainwashed into becoming MKUltra assassins. IIRC the trigger word that turned their programming on was "pink lemonade" or something like that.

I guess it turns out they were all just given Munchausen's instead and the trigger word was "hey, you have to get a job."

Oh Nina, nice try. That lasted what, all of 12 hours? Turns out if you vomit your entire life into your public social media essentially making yourself into a public figure, it's not against reddit TOS to talk about you, any more than it's against reddit TOS to talk about any other public figure.
 
When I was a little kid and I had tonsil surgery I remember being so pissed at the IV, like, fuck that thing,it hurts, get it out. I did whatever the fuck the nurses told me I had to do to get that fucker off, like eat a popsicle even though it was like flames in my throat the whole time.

I didn't have any more surgeries until I was way, way into adulthood, and by then I had built up a bit of fear around IVs, since I hadn't had one since that time. As it turned out, when my day came to need a surgery, I was totally shocked to realize I barely noticed it.

Turns out when you're actually in enough physical distress to merit real emergency medical interventions, the IV is such an afterthought. A kid would notice it because kids are so resilient about surgeries that they're chomping at the bit to be overactive afterward. Normal adults are capable of dealing with minor discomfort to relieve major pain.

I'm sure Judd had to get an annual pass because of Jaq. Certainly can't let those hundreds of dollars go to waste.
