Hey Erin ❤ - I’ve only just found your channel & I think it’s great even though I’m only a few streams in. The story of your accident💔 was the first vid I watched and I truly appreciated everything you shared. Sorry if you’ve already spoken to this - but I was wondering about your mum & how she went processing & adjusting to your trauma? I guess your grandparents too given that they were such a big part of your life. Your resilience & determination is incredible tbh & I’m thinking that perhaps your family has something to do with that? Or maybe not!!😬

You are proof that no matter what situation one may be in, there is always a way to contribute positively to the world. Thank you for sharing your light, it is very bright and beautiful.

@@eirinceciliegjedrem Something cool about you that I can’t do: You can eat and drink while laying down flat! I wish I could! 😁 I was born with a life-threatening birth defect that required tons of surgery - my plumbing was off. My esophagus ended in a little pit instead of hooking up to my stomach. So in the surgeries they had to stretch my tiny half of an esophagus out to hook it up to my stomach and create a sphincter there, and then I had to get my esophagus dilated all the time because it naturally wanted to close up. There’s no peristalsis muscles in my esophagus to push food or liquid down into my stomach, and I’m also unable to throw up. I have to sit upright and drink a ton of liquid with each bite of food in order to push my food down, with the help of gravity. I have to chew things up extra well. If I don’t do all that, the bite of food will just sit at the top of my throat, going nowhere, and that’s super uncomfortable. As you can imagine, it’s a very slow process for me to eat lol. I have always been the very last one still eating when eating with others throughout my life - the school bell would ring for lunch to be over and I was _STILL_ eating (luckily I had a dear best friend who always stayed with me 😊). One would think I’d be overweight seeing me eat so long, but it’s quite the opposite; I’ve always been underweight. Drinking so much of anything will make feel full faster, so I constantly have to give it some time for the liquid to digest a bit before I feel like I have more stomach room to pick up eating again. It was nothing more than an annoyance/inconvenience all my life (mostly because I could never eat while out and about unless I had access to a ton of water or other drink). But it’s a lot more than an annoyance now since my spine surgery that disabled me and made me mostly bedridden. I spend most of my time lying flat too, but eating forces me to have to constantly push my upper body up just to take every bite, chew, and swallow it. Well I often don’t feel good enough with my pain levels to do it, so either I just don’t eat and deal with a pissed off grumbling hungry stomach, or I’ll end up not finishing the food because I’m just not up to pushing myself up repetitively for so long. Anyways, I’m jealous/envious of that neato ability of yours. :) Peristalsis is so freaking cool and I wish I had it! How beyond geeky does that sound?? 😂

I am 75 always was active then after Covid lost all use of my legs I had a son that was paralyzed from waist down from birth he also had colostomy and urstomy it made life easier he lived to 24 and was very independent I really enjoy what you have to say

Hi Eirin! I’m happy to have found your lovely channel! I’ve been completely bedbound for the past 5 years due to a progressive neurological condition, so I relate to a lot of what you’re going through. From a young age I’ve gradually lost the ability to walk, stand, sit up, eat solid food and so on. I think instead of accepting, I try to make the best of the life I’ve been given and the circumstances I’m in, even though I don’t always succeed. I still wish things would be different and I still grieve for the life I’ve lost. I think that’s human and natural. It’s a difficult balance sometimes. Hugs from Finland! ❤️

I kind of don't believe in this stuff but just coincidence that the accident happened? I guess what are your thoughts on this? 😊

Hi there Eirin I think the most profound thing you spoke about tonight in this very very interesting video was the entire topic of acceptance. I am basically bed-bound I do get out, I have an aid that helps me. I have no paralysis of any kind but I have chronic illness and I also have complex PTSD so I have some issues psychiatrically that make it difficult for me and that's from having a lot of trauma in my life. But I now have an amazing psychologist and I asked her, well I want to learn to be able to accept what is going on with me and I don't really know how to do that. And she said the most profound thing. It's in the lines of what you were talking about tonight and what you understood about acceptance. She said to me, Why would you accept something that is awful? That would be ludicrous and it wouldn't be realistic at all. to accept the pain you're in the difficulty you're in to accept that which is awful that does not make sense at all. And then she talked to me about what you were told that it's more important to learn to adjust to these bad things or awful situations were in and how can we cope better with this trauma and pain and sadness etc. So I wanted to thank you so much for bringing that up because like you, it was becoming a bad thing that people kept telling me, have you accepted where you're at and I would say I don't know I mean what does that even mean. So now I never even try to do acceptance or anything like that. Thank you so much for a great video. You are dealing with so so much I don't know how you do it. You are a strong survivor and I'm glad that you are trying to do your best at coping with what's going on, living with what's going on and making the most of it. Thank you for sharing everything you did it's a pleasure to listen to you it's not a pleasure to see you in the situation you're in but I learned a lot. bless you

I appreciate your pain meds fear and understanding. I have been resistant but need medicine for my own pain and have addiction issues in my family so it’s hard. I also agree that there’s a fine line between depending and utilizing for maximum health in the ability to help rest and relax and sleep to side in daily enjoyment and quality of life as well as preventing damage from things like blood pressure being raised and anxiety from pain. On the flip side depending has its own risk and is so scary when you have seen opiates destroy people firsthand. Only you know what is the best and you can ask for external monitoring by your doctors but especially those closest to you. I feel that this is such a difficult decision when having family history of addiction. I can also appreciate declining brutal surgery after having been through so much. There’s a point where you can mentally work through a surgery when you are ready and if you are up to the challenge and currently you are fighting the pressure wound and working so hard on your role in the family and working on caregiver support, how and what you will need help with and who and what you will need personality wise. Having caregivers is a hard thing in and of itself and people don’t understand what it’s like depending on someone and trying to explain and direct to have help from another person who may believe things and do things differently than you might. You seem to have a good perspective on things and you are working hard daily on all the things you need to deal with and do. The pain alone tends to make decision making hard. I find it super cool that you are explaining so articulately what this process is for you and what the challenges that aren’t really visible are for you. I think you look amazing and are doing so well with managing and navigating the medical and mental health hurdles and also then doing the many plans and vlogging to provide some knowledge and info for people who may find themselves in a similar situation. Your own personal experience is a big story and very interesting to hear about. I am sending healing wishes for the pressure wound and recovery from that surgery as well as all the daily fulfillment you can handle that makes you feel content and comfortable and intellectually stimulated. I’m super impressed with you! I also love the part about accepting vs not accepting and just coming to terms with the accident impact. It’s a huge difference in perspective and more realistic to “come to terms with” over “accept”. Cheering for you over here!

The wound was cared for by nurses who came 3x a week to check and change the dressing from the start; but it wasn’t deep visually. There was unfortunately a lot of fibrin which was surgically removed, and clearing out that tissue caused the depth it had - but it’s better now 😃 I learn something new with every sore 😅 Thank you and likewise! 🤍✨🕊️🙏

Have you ever tried a topical horse linimint on your sore painful areas? People who own horses are well aware of how important it is to relax their horses muscles and joints and relieve them of pain. It has helped me greatly. I suffer from severe head and back pain chronically. The linimint is clear, odorless and like a watery gel, rubs right in and I feel pain relief within about 30 minutes. You can also apply as much as you need to! People who use horse linimint also say they use it on themselves when they are sore. Their horses love it and so do the owners. Good luck to you, Eirin. You are a very strong woman.

One thing that they used both for my husband and for my mom when she had to be in bed a lot was an alternating pressure air mattress topper I know it really made a difference, especially since my husband had to lie on his back most of the time. The doctors did emphasize certain nutrients also, Vitamins A and C, Protein, Zinc and Iron, and said that complete healing would come much faster if you had a diet that was rich in those. They also used a wound vac on a couple of his pressure sores and he had to go to the hospital every couple of weeks to have the wound debrided.

I have had spinal injuries and spinal fusion surgeries on my cervical spine. I was not paralyzed, but the injuries caused excruciating knots in my shoulders and trapezius muscles. My husband would use full force elbows to try to get deep enough into the knots to give me relief from unrelenting pain that frequently brought me to tears. I could only get relief for a few hours until my first spinal fusion surgery. I have had two fusions that have failed in at least one level and need a third fusion that I am not rushing to endure. In the meantime, my paint doctor injects BOTX into my extreme knots in my shoulders and the injections have changed my life in many ways. They only last for three months at a time and I get them for migraines as well. Botox is a game changer for me. You might want to ask your doctor about trying it in out for your shoulder knots.

Thank you for sharing your story - my heart goes out to you ❤️❤️ My knots are nothing compared to your extreme and painful ones; I’m so happy Botox gives you some relief 🥰 My knots will most likely become better once I can sleep on my back, but I will make a note to ask my doctor if they don’t - thank you ❤️

I’ll be praying for you, that the wound vacuum will be a success. I’ve put your name on our prayer roll ❤ Any chance your cat could make an appearance. I know they tend to have a mind of their own 😂💕

Hi 🥰

Thank you another great informative video my Empath Sister. On the 20th, I am going to get my temporary spinal cord stimulator. I have severe back pain and pain medication hasn’t been working. I’m really hoping this works so I can have my hobbies and life back again. Have you considered this for your pain?

I am sure they have thought of everything, but I will make a note for my next stay at the spinal unit - thank you for mentioning it 🙏❤️ I wish you all the best and good luck..! I send you my light and my love; please let me know after how it went by Insta, FB or e-mail in description - a comment is easily missed, unfortunately. I’m sending hobby-and-life-vibes into the Universe for you ✨🤍

Hi Eirin, thank you for your videos, they have been very informative and interesting. My question for you is - Are you on an air mattress at present? I am wondering whether you might get discomfort from the pressure points on your sides if not. I hope that the vacuum dressing works on your next try and that it speeds up your wound healing. Thank you again, I really have enjoyed your videos.

You are amazing. I had a thalamic stroke which damaged my internal temperature and nerves. Because the thalamus is the relay roadway for our body, my nerves are all messed up. The pain is horrid. I'm out a little over year with not much improvement from initial stroke and now the nerve damage is causing my body to arch off bed and jerk, my legs, my hands, my teeth chatter, very painful. I also don't feel anything from rib cage to my bottom. I only eat because I have too. This "traveling" nerve pain is scarry because you have no control over your body and shoots your pain to a level that no one understands. What did you call this A..something. I will pray for you.

I agree with your friends outlook in regards to acceptance. I intuitively feel that your intuition doesn't accept it because although its your reality you live with in "disabled" state (I hate defining anything as disabled because in the very word its states ABLE although thats how the word is used to emphases an understanding in todays society. I feel that words carry energy and the word disabled is very limiting)I feel your soul knows it has far more in store for you and this situation is only a road bump but will not limit your purpose in this life time.(In no sense do I want disregard your situation not my intention..but I want emphasize your life mission can and will still be accomplished given such physical/emotional traumatizing situation you have lived) I personally feel like accepting becomes like limitation and acceptance of its limits of such condition. I feel your intuition is declining that state of mind. In your shoes I think I would be in the same mindset. I am sure it comes with a lot of questions. As you have shared and navigated and continue to navigate. Thank you for sharing your story and mindset with such balanced outlook. Sending you love always! I wanted to share if you have considered colloidal silver or CBD lotion applied to skin (we naturally have endocannabinoids in our human body) and its healing affects ( supplementing giving the body fire to make more of it). Not doctor but many have shared great natural medicinal benefits make sure you do your research and see if it can benefit you and does not contradict medications you maybe taking.

Thank you ❤️ First of all; know that with anger or lashing out - it has to do with the individual grieving and processing pain and trauma - you are not to blame ❤️ Second; people in general need to feel seen, heard and validated - so allowing them to explain their needs and preferences is a good way to try and create a mutual trust and respect. In a situation where the patient can’t communicate very well, explaining what you’re doing and why you are doing it while you are aiding them, can help them relax more - also acknowledging that you know it can be cold, warm, uncomfortable, painful etc. ❤️ You are wonderful for asking and good luck! 💖

​@Eirin Cecilie Gjedrem thank you so much for taking the time to reply Eirin, much appreciated. You are wise beyond your years.

I just have 2 questions. Do you have a coccyx relief cushion to use to keep pressure off the tailbone and have any of your physical medicine doctors suggested using Botox treatment for muscle spasticity. God bless.

@eirinceciliegjedrem

I have a ROHO cushion in my wheelchair and a dynamic air-mattress that both work well to prevent and relieve - so thankful for that 🙂 I don’t really have a lot of spasticity, I primarily struggle with cramps and clonus, for which the neurological doctors told me can’t be treated. It was hard getting that message. I have found that massage and passive physical therapy relieves some of it, thankfully 🙂

Don't let anyone tell you how you should feel. You are entitled to feel however you feel. I wondered if you've heard of royal jelly? Just a thought. Thank you for this video.

Have they tried radio frequency therapy and PRP on your wound?

Can you practice laying on tummy or can you not do that due to neck injury? Could you practice been on all fours with a exercise ball to relieve hip pain? Can you try turning every 2 hours during the day and then alter that to 4 hourly at night to get more sleep ie 2am-6am ( sleep)and then 6am-10am ( longer sleep).

I can only be on my tummy for about 10 minutes before I struggle with breathing, unfortunately. I can’t be on all four due to my paralysis and stomas, but it’s a nice thought. I’ve asked if I could do some changes, in many different ways, in order to sleep longer, but that increases the risk of developing new sores, so I have come to terms with having to do as they say. I just hope I’m more than halfway to a healed sore, but time will tell ✨

If the nerves and everything was severed does that mean your limbs are extremely tight? I imagine it’s very painful😔 you are so strong and thank you for teaching us. I wish all resources were available to all

@Eirin Cecilie Gjedrem Erin there would be no way I could use it if it hurts you. My body is extremely fragile. I hate saying the word fragile but that's what my body is. My pain and suffering is 10 out of 10 most days and hours. I just try not to talk about it because I can't fix it and there's no sense in me crying today because tomorrow I'm going to need my strength to carry on. I'll just wait to hear from your next video if you found something gentle to massage your body.
