Gross Kelly Ronahan - Vampire Munchie Who Destroyed Her Own Legs

[DCMediaSped]

Is the KiwiFarmer general consensus that the amputation is going to be an eventual regret which has not soaked in yet?

I dont think so. IMO she is giddy over this.

 

[There_is_no_Dana]

No, I don't think she's going to regret it, I think she wanted this. She is way too excited about her new status as an amputee, this was the goal. She's happy with herself for now.

 

[discombobulated]

I've not made up my mind how she's gonna feel once reality sets in.

I did notice she's been quieter the past 24 hours than she has since the surgery, so could possibly be struggling a bit? Probably just me being optimistic though, and still just that teeny part of me hoping that no-one can be that fucked up.

Absolutely not. For years now it’s always “she realizes this time she’s pushed it too far!” whenever she does the newest horrible thing, but then she goes even further. It happened with the skin grafts and less than a week out of the hospital she was tearing into them. People keep trying to apply logic and reason to a situation when the subject is just completely illogical. There is no eventual regret for Kelly. She will die from self inflicted injuries and even as the last breath leaves her lungs she will not be afraid and worried she went too far. She’s severely mentally ill and cutting off her legs, nor whatever else is removed next, will be enough for her to realize she went too far.

I dont think she wanted to lose her legs, but it was an acceptable trade off. She's high on all the attention she's getting from hospital staff at the moment, when she goes home and comes down she might be disappointed or frustrated by her new situation, but I don't think the realisation will ever really hit her because she'll be too busy creating her next crisis.

Fair enough, that little doubt of perhaps, "WHAT HAVE I DONE!" at her end, I had, is now gone...

I'm curious as to how has she not caught anything from the however many hospital visits she's had? As in a healthcare-associated infection, I mean. Like staph or something. Feel free to mark as dumb/late, but she's got open wounds, picking at them with her dirty fingers and god knows what she's been exposed to by going to the hospital all the time. I'm just curious, and I'm eating all of the medical information up as it's really fucking interesting.

I think an understanding of Munchausen is quite important in order to understand Kelly. Thanks to the poster who sperged a bit on it earlier. I was a little surprised to hear that it's not 'curable' in any meaningful sense, and not really even manageable even if the patient is fairly open to support. I think maybe some part of me was hoping there were stories of people with a dx of munchie that overcame it, and went on to live a meaningful life.

As much as she's a total psycho, it's really sad for those who care about her.

I think she will regret it. However planned or hoped for it may have been, being a double amputee forever will hit once she’s home from hospital and the attention has subsided. She’s romanticised the idea and the reality of the situation will be a cold, harsh wake up from the fantasy.

It’s not going to change her mindset at all though, of course. She will just do what she’s always done; move onto the next attention seeking scheme.

edit: what she will truly regret is having losing her original source of attention. Being an amputee isn’t half as ‘interesting’ as her claim of Behçet’s. I think we’re all just waiting now for her next manufactured super special, incredibly rare disease/affliction/tragedy.

If she basks in enough attention being a double amputee, maybe she’ll level up and go for quadruple amputee status.

I hope she embraces the wooden peg leg aesthetic.

I don't think Kelly is capable of regret. She'll find the next thing to focus on to get her attention fix, there's no time for regret.

 

[Kelly's Leg Nerve]

She's probably trying to find a good shtick before her follower count grows too much, which is why she's deleting stories and going dark. She had 14.2K on her previous account but only a fraction of that now.

The fact that she was barely a day out of surgery and taking pics of her stumps makes me doubt that.

Healthcare associated infections are generally things you fall victim to if your immune system is not up to scratch. Kelly’s immunity is most definitely up to scratch. It’s possible that her wounds might have been previously infected with something nosocomial but I don’t think we’ve ever heard or seen any microbiology from her. It’s possible that the most recent infection was something resistant to treatment leading to the big chop being the most appropriate management but considering they were holding off amputation til now makes me doubt that.

She mentioned getting the epidural out soon, she was stoked to finally get one so maybe throwing herself a nice little pity party now that it’s gone.

People are always asking how she could stand the pain but there are no painkillers strong enough to allow her to pull nerves/blood vessels, lymph out of her body. Of course, the things she was doing were painful, and I’m sure she was on meds, but I think she’d slowly numbed herself over the many years it took for her to get to this point

Like diabetics not feeling their limbs, she probably had so many burns/infections/tears/holes in her legs that she was slowly killing off her pain receptors. So while those things were painful, especially at first, towards the end they probably were not like what we would feel.

A medfag can confirm or deny this but I don’t know how else you could get to the point that you are scraping infected fluid out of a wound with paper, or cutting things with scissors, without the pain being dimmed and many nerves gone.

I came in to check up on Kelly and didn’t realize she was featured. I wondered why there were so many repetitive and dumb questions. . Needless to say, I’m very pleased to see that she is reaping what she’s sewn, and will look forward to her next Bechets flare.

Maybe she could also have some local anesthetic, lidocaine or something? Could doctor have given her that to help with changing dressings or cleaning the legs? Or would they do that, knowing what she does to herself

 

[Mad Strawberry Milk]

I believe you're absoloutely right. She needs something new to make sure she will keep getting the attention and treatment from people that her rotting legs brought her.
She will probably enjoy the attention she gets from not having any legs at all. That will be the new thing that makes her speshul. Except she won't be in medical danger anymore, which means that no one is going to care. Someone who doesn't know her might feel bad for her or think that her situation sucks, but then they're going to forget about her and move on.
Doctors "care" now because they have to. She has put herself in danger, medically, and now they have to fix it. No one truly cares though.

I don't know man she still has two arms, hair and eyes.

 

[Moaning Myrtle]

I think Kelly will only feel moments of "regret" when those situations like brushing her teeth come up. When she's home and wants to put some new burns on her legs, but she's in the living room and her curling iron is in the bathroom and her wheelchair is not right next to where she is sitting, when she has to exert serious energy to obtain her instruments of destruction, those are the moments when she'll be like "wow, what the fuck did I get myself into?" But they'll pass quickly, overtaken by the need to get medical attention at whatever cost.

Question for those who know: what if Kelly just "falls into a depression" and refuses to do anything to help herself? If she refuses to learn to transfer herself from bed to chair, if she shows no signs of moving towards caring for herself, if all she does is lay in bed all day, what would happen? Would they just discharge a recent amputee who clearly can't (won't) take care of herself? Or would they have to transfer her to some sort of care home?

she'd be kept in the hospital for a while and eventually be sent to some assisted living facility.

So, I was doing some trawling on her old IG posts and found a comment from Kelly about the ‘nerve’ picture.

Spoiler

TL;DR Kelly confirms there is no video of the nerve, only a picture, and also confirms some commenters’ suggestions that it was not a nerve after all but “some kind of lymphatic drainage thing”, according to her doctor.

I haven’t seen this posted here yet, but even if it has, a repeat of it might finally lay to rest the “is it a nerve or not” debate.
