Apologies for shitting up the thread and not providing any further updates, but I've been following our Vampire Munchie for years, and re-read through this and her threads on other forums within the last week and just had a sudden epiphany that I hadn't seen anyone else mention, but it may have been too obvious to others so they didn't.

So, right before her leg saga, she had those "mysterious blisters" on her fingers. Almost immediately, everyone figured she grabbed some kind of heat tool for hair, like a curling iron or straightener, and held onto it until it badly burnt her. Once that started to heal, her legs became her focus.

It just occurred to me that her fingers were almost certainly her test run for burning herself (either with heat or, most likely for her legs, chemicals) and seeing what her results would be. Losing a hand probably would have been too difficult for her, so she didn't continue to aggravate the wound on her hand. Similarly, this seems to be why she stopped fucking with her thighs, as amputation up to the hip would have been "too much" for her.

I'm not sure why this feels like an "a-ha" moment, but I'm very convinced her finger burns were her early experimentation with the process of burn wounds that she later applied to her legs.

Not to sperg too hard about the bolded, but the pathologist (as in, a physician) doesn't usually see the actual gross (in all ways) specimen, unless they've been requested to do intraoperative consultation, which is unlikely with this type of procedure. Usually, an amputation is a "gross only" procedure, meaning the specimen or specimens are sent to the path lab, where a pathologist's assistant will examine them and record his or her observations. No tissue is processed or made into slides, as the diagnosis is already made and there's no suspicion of cancer or another disease process that could be life threatening even after the affected tissue is removed. The wounds were cultured in the microbiology lab while the legs were still attached. It's possible, depending on the hospital and available lab facilities, that after the legs were amputated and a gross examination done, a few slides were made for routine H & E staining, but not all facilities do H & E on everything, and I'd imagine that in the Canadian health system, processing and staining tissue from this kind of operation isn't worth the cost. I have worked in labs where everything, from tumors to traumatic amputations, got at least one H & E slide, and others in which stuff like this, with a confirmed diagnosis, is considered gross-only. The pathologist would only be called if something truly unexpected was noticed on gross. Even in cases where further analysis is needed for diagnosis, the doctor almost never sees the tissue, only slides.

You should send your thoughts and prayers to the pathologist's assistant and the histotechs, who were probably brought the legs in a giant BIOHAZARD trash bag. The path assistant is responsible for unwrapping them, describing them, and then using a bone saw to chop them into manageable pieces. Each chunk is dissected anatomically and examined visually for any signs that contradict the expected diagnosis. The dissection will stink up the entire lab for the rest of the day.

After the gross examination, the leg hunks will be rewrapped in plastic biohazard wrapping, and discarded. The retention time for the tissue varies by facility and available storage space, but it's at least 7 days in most labs. Imagine those legs, chopped up into hunks and festering in a fridge all week. Someone in the lab will have to go through all of the specimens at the end of the week and dispose of them, making sure that no valuable tissue is accidentally discarded. In my lab, this means someone stands over the sink with a strainer, pouring the tissue through and poking through it before it goes to the incinerator.

The path lab is really where all the behind the scenes magic happens, and the people down there often go unnoticed and unappreciated.

Edited to say that I hope the OR had the common courtesy to hand deliver the specimens to the lab. Most hospitals have a pneumatic tube system for transporting small specimens across departments without having to constantly send runners back and forth, but stuff like AKAs are too big to fit. The containers are bullet shaped, about a foot long and 8 inches in diameter, and sometimes the OR people are dicks and try to cram stuff in there that's way too big, or they don't bother to close the container properly and it leaks everywhere. I've seen an entire gangrenous foot just stuffed into one, leaking and oozing everywhere, as well as a lightbulb that had been removed from someone's ass and sent without being bagged. Generally, there's some tension between the OR nurses and the pathology lab, because the nurses think the path gang are a bunch of freaky nerds and the lab folks think the nurses are self-important and unappreciative. Nothing says contempt like not bagging the slimy lightbulb you just harvested from some guy's asshole before you send it to the lab.

Posts like this are why I love the Farms.

Conspiracy theory: she has had no visitors of any sort, & is posting entirely by herself to try to glean some extra pity party favors. Imagine being so grossly disliked & mistrusted that no one so much as calls you after your legs are amputated. How very fucking sad it would be if not completely self-inflicted.

This is worse than not having anyone show up to your funeral. How bruised do you think her ego is?

Kelly has already done the whole 'awake during procedure' thing. I included a few highlights in my previous comment below, but the first half should contain the awake OOB/Near death exp. part. Second half is psych ward stuff.

Thanks for sharing that video. I hadn’t seen it before. What a trip.
- Gyno procedure from an assault
- OOB/Near death experience
- Appt with psych with more weirdness that results in psych hold
- “you want crazy, I’ll give you crazy”, ties socks around neck

Edit: Don't know if this has been mentioned, but at one stage she went through three ports in 12 months because they kept getting infected. Maybe that's partly why they stuck the IV in her scalp?

I'll leave the bit about the ports to correct myself, it was less than 12 months. Staph and strep infections and a 3 week hospital stay in March 2017.

thank you.

nurses are either amazing and efficient, or batshit slobs, no in between. gotta love the proficient ones.

They would look these over and toss/incinerate them. They've done all their testing already, to get her on the right antibiotics.

it's 3 days retained here due to space concerns in labs because of covid.

Just...wow. You can actually see that when the grafts healed, she started repicking holes, of course when she was out of the hospital and not being watched. Then the subsequent infection started again. What a special touch, taking duck lip selfies next to oozing wounds.

It's interesting in the beginning the holes were all over her arms, legs, and hands, and she seems to have moved to the lower shin exclusively. She tried to say she was 'lucky' that things only got bad in that one spot. Ok. She actually denies this is self inflicted?? A rash is one thing-deep holes only get deep and festering when they are dug at, and dug out. She is so goddamn gross.

I notice that after the leg sores first appear they begin to look black like some sort of eschar. Besides what we all know about her scab removal and digging, has anyone determined how she ended up with those circles of black dead tissue on her skin surface? for reference, see pictures from June 15, 2018 in the imgur
It makes me think of black salve, which i saw someone here mention earlier

another question, there are a lot of mentions of her rubbing feces into her wounds, is that just an ongoing joke or did i miss circumstantial evidence of that somewhere in the thread
