A ride indeed!I was curious about Paige's 412-day hospitalization and just how she managed to get herself in the situation she's in now, so here, have many photos and also a bunch of words describing how paige is a liar who doesn't tell the truth and is also very ridiculous.
This should go without saying but there's some real gross shit under this spoiler here. Infected surgical sites, blood, jars of pus, open wounds, and bags full of stomach contents. Amongst other things.
captions cut off because I was originally just fucking around with no intention of turning this into anything or sharing it but then i couldn't stop myself, sorry, this became another timeline. I do have her whole social media backed up including captions and comments in case she decides to nuke it after this.
For the first few months of posting it was just the sad walrus being sad and/or hanging out with her friends. boring.
May 23, 2018: new NG drain and NJ feeding tubes placed, both in the same nostril and taped to the same cheek.
View attachment 996635
July 13, 2018: "escaped from hospital" #piccline. No mention of what she's in for, but the NJ tube is now secured with "don't fuck with this" tape.
View attachment 996636
July 19, 2018: her birthday. sporting the classic "sad walrus" NJ feeding and NG drain tubes in different nostrils, a PICC, and a subq line, #gastroparesis. By the 28th she's posting from home. The rash on her stomach is Erythema ab igne also known as "hot water bottle rash" or "toasted skin syndrome". It's from prolonged and repeated exposure to a heating pad or other heat source. Permanent, slight risk of developing skin cancer from it, but otherwise benign.
View attachment 996603
August 2-3: using the awesome power of math, we can determine that this was the day she started the 412-day hospitalization.
August 6:
Peripheral IV woes, has to have a line placed in her foot. Claims it took six hours, eleven attempts, seven people, and an ultrasound to get a patent line. No mention of why she's hospitalized.
View attachment 996637
August 8, 2018: Unsure if this is an NG tube and an iPod earbud or an NG and an NJ in the same nostril. Now has the "hey, I said stop fucking with this" securement tape.
View attachment 996605
August 9, 2018: only peripheral lines, only an NG tube, normal securement.
View attachment 996601
August 10, 2018: PICC line inserted, now has a fun new sepsis-portal to play with, the plastic bucket by her shoulder looks like it's connected to her NG tube to catch the grossness leaking out of it.
View attachment 996602
August 11, 2018: Still only an NG, now with "seriously don't fuck with this" tape again.
View attachment 996608
August 15, 2018: Mystery casts appear, NJ is back and now it's bridled. Until now she's not really explained the disappearing NJ although later she claims she vomited it up frequently. However bridling is done when the patient is pulling on the tube, and it seems like this would be a bad idea if she was legitimately vomiting it up.
View attachment 996609
August 21: new mystery casts, #sepsis and a person in the comments asking how casts help with an infection, lol. The thing on her lap is a niki pump, a syringe driver for delivering a dose of whatever is in the syringe inside of it at a controlled rate.
View attachment 996616
August 25: same mystery casts, PICC access is now taped to the back of her arm where she can't get at it
View attachment 996618
August 29: Casts gone
View attachment 996622
September 16: PICC access is clipped to her shoulder where she can reach it, no longer bridled
View attachment 996624
October 5: Sepsis #2 and she's cuddling up with a bag full of stomach juices (she reposted this months later without the emoji)
View attachment 996625View attachment 996781
October 7: sepsis, urinary infection, kidney infection, lung infection, pneumonia, influenza. Claims her mom wrote this for her because of memory loss, so she would know how many things were killing her. mostly redundant, as in pneumonia is a lung infection, a kidney infection would fall under "urinary"...
View attachment 996626
October 8: claims she wasn't aware her friend came to visit her at all.
View attachment 996655
October 11: "after a week I'm finally awake and able to communicate" apparently forgets she's been updating social media all along. Now says she had "blood infections and severe sepsis" along with the things on the written list.
View attachment 996654
November 16: Peripheral IV in her foot again, suggesting PICC-chan is now gone
View attachment 996640
December 12: punch biopsy, rash of unknown origin, piss tube, and someone in the comments was talking about how Paige didn't know if she'd make it to Christmas. She sure showed us.
View attachment 996641
December 17: NG is gone
View attachment 996642
December 23: 140 days in the hospital. By this calculation her admission date was August 5.
View attachment 996643
December 30: She is now claiming that she has had five bouts of sepsis in 2018. Says this is 150 days in hospital. Admission date by this calculation: August 3. Reflecting on the fact that she is going to ring in the new year in the hospital, as she has celebrated every holiday and birthday for the past six months.
View attachment 996644
That same day she's out and about with her family from abroad, with a dramatic caption about how she thought she wouldn't live to see them again.
View attachment 996645
January 4, 2019: ultrasound of a mass in her chest
View attachment 996647
January 6: now crying because pissing through a tube isn't as fun as she thought it would be. Complaining about scans and cath changes and how everything is inconvenient for her. Complains she vomits every day. Note the lack of bridle.
View attachment 996648
January 8: the cast photo with a caption referring to "158 days... I've had sepsis 6 times." A week ago it was five times. Admission date by this calculation: August 1. Also claims 6 PICCs and an attempted 7th, 5 NJ replacements, can't control her bladder and is "bowel prep dependent" which is a novel way of saying "laxative addicted due to constant opiate use and IV antibiotics killing off all my gut flora". Also showing off that non-invasive ventilation style.
View attachment 996653
January 10: "vomited up" her NJ again. Just FYI some bulimics (and munchies) learn to purge "hands-free" by flexing certain muscles and I am pretty damn sure this is what Paige is doing to keep dislodging her njs. I'm also sure her doctors know it and that's why she's only sometimes bridled - she's not yanking it out that way. She's just making herself violently retch until it comes out of position.
View attachment 996665
January 12: NJ tube with "don't fuck with it" tape and now a grip-lok securement on her cheek which I have literally never seen in all my years staring at betubed munchies and ana-chans. It's to keep from accidentally dislodging and I don't know that it does much to prevent deliberate tampering.
View attachment 996667
January 20: gone again, naturally.
View attachment 996668
January 26: betchy'all wanted to see her piss bag again. Now discussing a suprapubic in the near future. First time tagging #ehlersdanlossyndrome
View attachment 996669
January 27: marking 11 days without a tube, claiming she cannot keep food or drink or even her vital medications down. Really pushing for that GJ.
View attachment 996670
January 30: still no nose hose, still claiming she pukes up anything that goes in her mouth, gets a bunch of new subq lines.
View attachment 996673
February 8: Comparing before losing her tube and after three weeks tubeless, claiming she hasn't kept a single thing down in the whole three weeks. Dehydration and weight loss are getting worse and hinting that she might have sepsis again.
View attachment 996674
February 12: marking 200 days since she last stood up and walked. Now making a physio plan that will get her walking again. "my amazing physios have been helping me and trying to get those signals to my legs to hold up but sadly no standing has happened in over 6 months." Translation: I have been wasting my physios' time for six months pretending my legs don't work.
View attachment 996676View attachment 996677
February 14: after complaining for a month about being tubeless and her doctors not taking any action, now complains that she's going to be tubed and making it sound like she was deliberately holding off on getting tubed again to see if she could recover any stomach function once she started eating again. Real reason she's complaining: it's another NJ instead of a PEG-J.
View attachment 996681
February 18: day 200 in the hospital. Old photo but taken during this hospitalization. Oh look, she's standing. On her own. With no walker or wheelchair in the frame, and no one there to grab her if she starts to go down. Almost like she can use her legs or something.
View attachment 996684
February 20: Tubed, bridled.
View attachment 996685
February 23: allowed to go home for a night. Gets wine and pizza. Miss "I can't keep my meds or even a sip of water down." Don't worry, she insists she's vomiting and in pain and paying for it but it was sooooo worth it.
View attachment 996686View attachment 996687
February 28: still losing weight even with her NJ tube. Had no problem finding a fatty area to inject something into while she was showing off her meds at home.
View attachment 996689
March 1: out of the hospital again. Drinks hard cider (but she vomited profusely!!) and dances (wheelchair style!!) and gets her hair bleached on a whim (but don't get her wrong, it's still a while before she can be discharged!!) Goes back to the hospital looking drunk af. i'm sure all the meds she takes play really well with alcohol.
View attachment 996690View attachment 996691
March 2: the literal next day, she's got this. Tubie pad is around a subq for some reason. (Gonna guess she bought tubie pads thinking she was going to get a surgical feeding tube, then they refused to do the surgery so she's using them to decorate her subq caths.) Also antibiotic-resistant bacteria has colonized her kidneys and bladder.
View attachment 996693
March 3: she's now officially diagnosed with autism and she's not ashamed!!
View attachment 996694
March 4: "When you and you bestie get to bond over our autism spectrum disorders, gastro problems, mobility problems and of course our new hair cuts" This girl is also fishing for the GP/EDS/POTS combo while swigging vodka and living a very active life. Paige is still vomiting everything and that gross thing on her stomach keeps getting bigger so now they're stopping her blood thinners.

March 6; home again and of course, booze. And Starbucks. It made her very ill!!! she vomited everything up!!!

March 8: back at the hospital, immediate crisis. Doesn't explain. Love that collar pulled askew to show the tubie pad inexplicably wrapped around a subq.

March 9: "body isn't happy" and needs oxygen and nebulizer treatments. Flashing that tubie pad on her subq again.
View attachment 996708
March 13: 4 days without an NJ having "vomited it up" again.
View attachment 996710
March 16: two attention whores go to a fair. In case you didn't notice her less successful munchie friend has a fucking GOOSE in that stroller thing. Like, her pet goose. Because she didn't have a wheelchair and tubes to get attention with?
View attachment 996712
March 17: claims she and goose girl both have EDS and GP. Goose Girl is not diagnosed with either of these things. She just insists she has them while doctors say she's fine, lol.

March 20: nose hose is back and bridled, now practicing transferring because her legs don't work.
View attachment 996714
March 21: Nose hose "failed", reinserted, "failed" again. The darn thing keeps coiling in her stomach all on its own.

May 3: "I totally didn't bang my head on something until I bled because I'm crazy as fuck. No it was a low hanging branch I accidentally hit while slowly rolling in my manual wheelchair. And my tube that I need because despite my chipmunk cheeks and obvious weight gain I am STARVING TO DEATH just mysteriously coiled in my stomach again." Loses the sad sick face when Goose Girl comes to play.

May 29: original caption on this photo was "Something clearly medical happened last night that involved removing my shirt, ecg stickers, an arterial blood test, a couple new lines, plasters everywhere and a constant blood pressure cuff and pulse rate monitorand i cant for the life of me remember what happened. My only other clue is mcdonalds sitting next to me and the text i sent my sister in the afternoon asking her to bring me some" So... NJ, can't even keep down meds or tolerate my feeds, but ate McDonalds. And remembers nothing of whatever this emergency was. Sounds like ambien tbh. Day 300.

July 28: reflects on her year in the hospital, giving an admission date of August 3, 2018, the day she was "rushed into resus". Since then she has had "Over 20 IDCs placed, 10 PICC lines, countless IVs and subcuts, 100s of clexan injections, 21 NJ placements, intubations and more...Developing so, so many UTIs, bladder, kidney, chest, skin, throat infections, also pneumonias, meningitis, influenza B, loss of use of my legs, 10 bouts of sepsis and the chronic illnesses i already came in with."

Wow, what a ride.
Those multi day breaks have me slightly suspicious about her thousand day admission (not hard considering she lied about pretty much everything). I’m wondering if she was discharged then did something to force them to admit her again? Either that or they just didn’t give a fuck about her going out to potentially speed up the world’s worst way to commit suicide.
Fair warning, I’m going to PL slightly because I live somewhere with almost identical healthcare, but I’ve had extended admissions like hers and at most I was let out for half a day with the promise that all I’d do is rest at home. I had no central lines, super bugs or access to anything connected to my blood stream in place either, neither was I actively dying or whatever she claims.
Every time I see a bridled tube I admit that I automatically pin the person as a munchie. I didn’t expect one of that level though, bloody hell! Thanks KFS, I thoroughly enjoyed that post. The tube pads around her catheter and subcut lines might have been my favourite part. Fucking lol, they’re so disgusting and unhygienic.
Do we know how old she is? Maybe 23-24?
