I know I said today was gonna be honeybear video but this video got done first and honeybear will be next week! Hooray! --Kristin

Pressuring your best friend to go to urgent care when there's a serious medical need is PEAK auntie energy. Good job, Kitchen. Always listen to your auntie, Jorn, :)

"I'm working. I'm a woman in STEM." Perfection. Heal well, Jen!

I was wondering if Jen hurt herself falling out of a chair or something, but sliding to 2nd base and scoring a run for your team is way cooler lol. Get well soon!

As someone who cracked a rib bone during a hockey game, played the rest of the game, and didn't go to a doctor immediately, I get Jen. Sports mentality is real.

The amount of care is so wholesome and sweet. Everyone needs a friend like these two.

Kristen you should bind your dominant arm and y'all could have a one handed TINY FOOD FIGHT!! Wishing you a speedy recovery Jen 💜💙🧡

Kitchen has such big Mama Bird energy, haha. You do ultimately mean well. Glad you’re on the up & up, Jen! ✨

Jen, your dedication to softball and procrastination makes all us other ADHD lesbians proud ✨

In solidarity, I am also a woman in STEM who broke her dominant hand in the second game of a double header and needed surgery but waited to see the doctor (had weekend tickets to a music festival so it was a Monday problem) so I feel this so hard.

I'm just imagining how the conversation with the doctor went.. Doctor: so how did this happen? Jen, with a proud look on her face: I scored a home run. Doctor: ... Jen: oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't do it right tho

Jorn is just so cute and Kitchen is just a mama bear

Kristen's "Mom" looks at Jen are awesome 👌. Get well soon Jen.

I love when Kristen goes into mom mode with Jen. 😂 I dislocated my ring finger on my right hand....during softball practice in college ....and I'm right handed 😂. Nothing like doing damage to your dominant hand. I was casted for about a month before being splinted for another month, then did OT for about two months. My hand smelled like sweaty feet in the middle of summer when the cast was taken off 🤢.

I’m also a member of the broken wrist club! And, coincidentally, I broke my left wrist and am left handed. My injury also happened while playing a sport- but it was kickball in 8th grade gym class. I was guarding 1st base, and a girl kicked it right at me. Naturally, I put my left hand out to block my face. The ball SMACKS into my hand, and bends my wrist back! It was awful- but I didn’t even leave school early to get it checked out. My injury happened right before our French class trip to Quebec, so I have a big blue splint on in all the group photos. And, after the trip was final exams… I had the worst time writing the essays for them. (Jeez, that was 23 years ago!) Anyway, glad you’re on the mend, Jen! 👍

After Jen said what they learned from all of this I just screamed “put me in coach” also this gives me rookie of the year vibes 🤣

I hope that Jen's wrist heals well and quickly. 💜

Read the title, instant thought - OH I'M PRETTY SURE SHE TRIPPED AND FELL DOWN FROM ONE OF THE CHAIRS AS USUAL, JUST THIS TIME SHE BROKE HER HAND RATHER THAN BREAKING THE FALL WITH HER HAND. 😅 Get well soon Jen! ❤️🤗 Glad your spirits are still high. 🤪 Ps. I abso-fuckin-lutely love how chaotic your videos always are. So relatable. 🙈🙊🙉

I can definitely relate to this level of denial 😅 glad you also had people to talk you into going in. heal fast! 🥰

Broken bone gang solidarity! I broke my pinkie toe bone (medicalese: left 5th metatarsal fracture) last Wednesday and I'm in a boot for 6+ weeks. Rest up and much love!

I relate so much to your experience, Jen. A couple years back, my knee buckled on me while I was walking down the steps to my backyard, and even though it was just *three freaking steps*, because of the way I landed, I ended up breaking several bones in my calf and foot. I was in so much pain I nearly passed out, but on the way to the hospital I kept telling myself "it's just a bad sprain" because I didn't want to deal with broken bones for the first time in my life. They took some x-rays of my leg, and initially the doctor told me, "looks like you broke a couple bones in your foot" and put my foot in a splint, then told me I needed to visit a specialist. Got to the specialist's office the next day, they took more x-rays, and they told me "well, looks like you broke both bones in your calf, five bones in your foot, and you tore a ligament. We'll need to do surgery to repair the damage." I was shell-shocked, I had no idea how to deal with that information. They ended up putting me in a cast that went all the way up to my knee, and I had to wear that for a few weeks until the day of the surgery. The surgery went well, thankfully, but I now have nine screws in my foot that will never be removed, so that's fun. Oh, and while I was recovering from the surgery, I had to administer a blood-thinning injection into my stomach every day for a month. c': I guess on the plus side, I got mostly over my fear of needles?

I twisted my ankle on Sunday (and saw a doctor on Monday!!) so I'm definitely feeling Jen's pain

As someone who has had a leg brace, constricted limbs smell more rotten than the state of Denmark in ‘Hamlet’.

Glad to see you're healing up! At least you weren't as stubborn as I was when I broke my ankle. I was walking on it for 2 weeks before the pain became so bad that I got it x-rayed!

I relate to this. I thought I had sprained my ankle when I tripped off the side of ramp coming out of school when I was 21. It swelled up to 3x the size and was bruised. Went to the school clinic where they wrapped it. Went to the doctor for a shot 2.5 weeks later and she took a look at it while I was there, because it was still bothering me. Turns out I had broken a bone in my foot just below my toe (she could push the broken part up and you could see it on the skin on top of my foot). Whoops. She just sent me home with a tensor and told me to keep it elevated as much as possible. Good luck on your recovery Jen!!

Hope you continue to heal up well and are back to doing everything you love, Jen! ❤️❤️❤️

I legit love you guys. I've just watched the intro and started smiling/laughing at Jen already.

I'm an Orthopedic Tech who applies casts! We have tie dye, pink camo, and regular camo on top of all the other colors and we can even do glitter.

I broke my right ankle at the Skirball, drove home on the 405, walked up 3 flights of steps, and finally decided the next day I should go to urgent care. I feel you Jen

We’re all praying that Jen recovers soon.

Everyone needs a friend like Kitchen! Get well soon Jorn!

I love y'all so much. Your videos just make me genuinely smile.

Wishing for a speedy recovery Jen

I had the same break on the same wrist when I fell over my bike handlebars! Ouch. So happy to see the update at the end!

watching this channel is always such a joy

i've been dealing with wrist problems for the last 3 and a bit months so i understand what you are going through Jen, keep strong (even though Physical therapy is a pain in the ass).

As soon as Jorn said at the end About going back to play softball, I can hear Kitchen/see a side eye stare 😂 it’s so profound, that I can hear the stare 😂

When someone is coy about how they injured themselves, I just imagine it's something really really bad. Vague is different, like somewhere in the ballpark of what happened, imagination rests.

I got a similar injury when I was young, and I fully understand what it's like. The straightening is going to hurt. It took me 6 months to completely removed my cast, though mine is a little more serious than yours, I fracture both my bones and shattered some. Till this day my left hand is still really weak so please take care during your recovery!

Glad to see the update to a brace and hope it continues to heal well!

Jorn: “I’m a woman in STEM!” Kitchen: “You needed to be a woman in splint.” Me: [deceased]

Lots of love and positive vibes Jen!✨😄

Jen is too cute literally a little ray of sunshine.

I am very glad you are on the mend!! About 17 years ago I dropped a 6' long iron bar on my foot and thought "It is just a bruise! I will be fine!" and I waited 3 days to go to the doctor because it was Christmas and I did it at work and had to wait for approval to go to the doctor and have them pay for it... LOL It was quite broken. I ended up in a walking boot for 8 weeks. I learned a similar lesson. Go to the doctor immediately!

Glad you're on the mend, Jen! I broke my wrist about 10 years ago (48 hours before my last semester of grad school I tripped on a concrete floor in the middle of a square dance, tyvm) and that thing is still a great barometer at times. Keep a few of those wrist braces around (CVS/Walmart/etc)........there are still some days when I can tell my wrist is just very unhappy and not wanting to cooperate, especially when I've been doing a lot of hand crafts stuffs.

I’m so happy to see a new video on the channel! 👏🏽 (I missed your videos which give me life)

Feel Better Jen, thanks for sharing your vlog.

Heal well Jen! So glad to hear you got the brace so you can wash (and scratch!) now!!!!

I'm so glad you're on the mend Jen!

Hey Jen, thank you for sharing this experience, and I wish you good healing! I had an accident this week where I cut the tip off my thumb, 👍 and have to immobilize it for a few weeks. I also had similar reactions of denial and pushing through the problem and pain and waiting before going to urgent care. Happy healing, friend!

I’m OBSESSED with Kristen’s outfit. Jen is living my dream playing grown up lesbian softball. ❤️ 🥎

Glad to hear you're on the mend Jen! I remember going to watch my husband play football (soccer) and one of his team mates was sitting on the side, I asked him if he was OK and he showed me his wrist. I was studying nursing at the time and immediately told him to go get it x-rayed. The following day he went and was told he had a small fracture, cast went on. Looking forward to the honeybear video x x x

JEN this cracked me up! I broke my pinky years ago playing baseball and thought the same thing, that I sprained it. I then went a month with a "bruised and swollen" pinky that I could not straighten all the way lol that's when I decided to go to the doctors, but by that time it was already healed all bent 😅

It's awesome that you have a cool story to go with the break at least. I broke my ankle 2 weeks ago and waited 4 days to go to Urgent Care. Long Story Short- If you think you have a sprain and have any swelling, please just air on the side of being cautious and dramatic and go to the ER/hospital. Worst case scenario you waste a night or 2 waiting to be told you're fine if you're fine. I fell skating and landed with my whole body piled on top of my left ankle. Once I finally saw a Dr.at Urgent Care she asked why I waited so long and said "bad news: it's broken, you should have gone to the ER right away?" She was really nice and informative and I was just stunned because I've never broken a bone before, and it hurt insanely when it happened, but was just a constant 4/10 after so I thought it was just a bad sprain. Yall, I was about to try to go to my restaurant job on a broken ankle. I couldn't put weight on it though, so I went to the ER, but it was going to be a 12hr wait, so I went home and went to Urgent care when they opened the next day. I didn't go sooner because it was too painful to move it at all the first 2 days, then it was chaos the next 2. I finally got a cast 2 WEEKS after my injury. Urgent care splinted me, sent me to my primary care dr. (who couldn't see me for a few more days). Then he referred me to the bone dr (which took the weekend to make the referral). And I finally saw the bone dr. (an hour and a half drive away) Now I have a cast and can't walk for 2 months. My follow up appointment is in a month. Jen is right, people do like injury stories though, even if they're not as cool as Jens, lol.

Wishes for fast healing, Jen! 💜 My mom is still healing from breaking both of her arms last October. She is left handed and broke her arm near her shoulder joint and had to have a bone prosthetic surgically implanted to reconnect the bone. Her right arm was broken near her elbow but not as severely. It healed on it’s own.

The update we’ve been waiting for 🙏❤️

The opening got me cause Im very much one of those people who doesn't like to "bother" or "make work" for people on weekends, early in the morning, evening, or night.

So glad to hear you are on the mend!

I hope it keeps healing well and you can recover strength quickly once you can put force on the wrist again!

I ALSO broke my wrist this year. Luckily I am all done and healed, I don’t envy you! Solidarity sister

I’m a I’m an occupational therapist/ hand therapist in Orange County and treat distal radius fractures on a daily basis. Please please do occupational therapy when you’re out of the cast! Do not let your elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand get stiff!

Now THIS is the video I’ve been waiting for!

I'm healing from a broken wrist (broke at the end of January). Shoplifter assaulted me. Good thing I had staff there because one of them wouldn't let me move. Which was good, or I would have had bones through skin instead of just a couple of breaks. Getting into the short cast is one of the best feelings! Be nice, out there, people!

Thank you. I needed this today.

Oh goodness I Jen's recovery is smooth!!

I’ve broken so many bones in my life. Jorn, Kitchen I love you both! I hope you’re both doing okay!

To be fair to Jen, I broke that same bone in my right wrist (im right handed) a few years ago in school. I continued through my entire day (taking notes/tests, carrying books, etc) and went to dance class. It’s hurt but I had some functionality so I just assumed it was sprained. By the time I got home in the evening it was swelling and my mom decided that I should probably get an x-ray the next day. Also a few weeks ago my mom was bowling in a tournament. About halfway through the first game she tripped up sims stairs and stumbled into a counter. She was winded and it hurt but she continued to play 5 and a half games. When she got home it hurt to move but she just figured it was bruised. The next morning she called me and was like “I need you to take me to the ER”. Turns out she broke 3 ribs in the fall.

I broke my arm on a bouncy castle when I was very young at one of my friends birthday parties, I landed on it a bit weird I guess. My mam was a bit embraced because I kept trying to play with things in urgent care. It just didn't hurt as much as you would really expect, but it also hadn't really swelled up yet. Fractured in two places.

Poor thing!! Please take care! Thanks for the exciting softball story too! Nice job!

I played softball for 15 years and let me tell you... You're a champion. Lmao. I've had teammates been less of a baby in COMPETITIVE SOFTBALL. I broke my foot when I was 12 and played 2 more weeks before I went to the Dr. To confirm and kept playing anyway... then completely dislocated my pointer finger on my throwing hand and popped it back in place. Ran to the nearest coach with tape and went back out immediately. Then... I had my oldest son when I was 19 and 1 week after I got out of the hospital I went to try outs for a tournament (competitive) and made it. So I played my last tournament the next weekend with my 2 week old baby in the stands feeding him and pumping in between games. Lmao I was married and in college but wanted to play so badly still after I turned down scholarships that I HAD to play one last time. Best decision of my life.

Owww. 🤕 Sending super healing thoughts!

Glad you're doing better, Jen!

Good vibes for continued healing. So glad you are able to get back your quality of life...

I love a clumsy Jen story time hehe 😇

god Jen, this is EXACTLY something I would do hahahaha hope you heal up fast

I can relate - I broke my left wrist when I was 16. I hope you will feel better soon :)

Get well soon & heal well!

I totally relate to Jen's not wanting to go to the doctor after. I sprained my ankle twice within three months, and both times was convinced to go to urgent care, only to be told that it wasn't broken (which I knew) and that it would heal up in about a month (it's still not 100% six months later). Pretty much every experience I've had there has been unhelpful and dehumanizing, and I would be very reluctant to go back to urgent care after another injury if I wasn't bleeding or absolutely certain that something was broken. I don't say this to discourage others from going to the doctor after an injury, just to complain about urgent care specifically.

Glad you’re feeling better

My mom went through a super bad break in February and her wrist still isn’t back to normal. But hers was a lot worse, you’ll be good as new in no time Jen!

Breaking your wrist is just awful (I speak from experience 😬) but I’m glad Jen is healing up. ❤️

Omg I broke my ankle on the first play of the game, first batter, sliding into home. Feeling very Jen right now😂

I need something light and fluffy right now so thank you ❤️🥰

Broken wrists - my hubs was in a minor head-on auto accident years ago and one of his injuries was a broken wrist very similar to Jen's. It took the hospital almost a week to realize. Took a few days to notice the broken leg too.

Kristin, I had my GP tell me to go to the ER the next time I got two different kinds of Mysterious Symptoms that I've been having off and on for five years and I was like haha no I've had this every week for the last three months now and I'm not dead, so it's fine. The embarrassment of going to the hospital when it turns out you don't NEED to is a risk I cannot accept

I broke my left wrist, had to wear a cast for eight weeks. Got the cast off and almost immediately sprained my ankle then a week later sprained my other ankle. I was an absolute disaster that summer. Heal well Jen and good luck.

I feel you Jen this time last year i was in a brace from my knee down as I fractured a bone in my knee when I slipped on a toy I didn't see as I was focused on trying to separate my 2 oldest boys as they where fighting over toy's, I went down into like a splits with my left leg under me and the right out straight 😢 I didn't think I fractured and neither did the doctor before she sent me for xray 😒 hopefully you heal soon and aren't like me in a brace for 3 months

My daughter had a similar break when she was 9 months old and was in a full arm cast, bent at a 90 degree angle too. And we had to have it replaced several times because she kept PULLING IT OFF. They had no idea how she was able to do that. I hope you are all better soon!!

Haha. I did the same thing so it’s not uncommon to keep playing. Adrenaline is wonderful. I was playing dodgeball. Went to the bar after. Free drinks we won. And then called my sissy to pick me up. I was a bit intoxicated. Told her hey. Btw can we swing by emergency on the way home cause I think my wrist is broken. 😂🤣😂👍🏻

I slipped and fell onto grass and in the .5 seconds it took for me to fall I sustained a tibial plateau fracture. Definitely get being in denial haha I didn't ask to see any of my x-rays until I was 9 weeks post-op. Seeing my x-ray with hardware and a healing fracture is where I felt how serious the fracture was. I spent 4 months non-weight bearing and another month+ weaning off crutches, then cane. The muscle loss is real! I'm 7 months out and still have a lot to work on to get my leg strength back.

I'm also a leftie and I had almost the exact same injury in middle school, I broke my left wrist playing gym class dogdgeball (this was back on the dark ages when you used to be able to play dodgeball in school). I VERY AGGRESSIVELY dodged a ball and landed on my left arm. Lol. I had to wear a stupid cast that immobilized arm up to the elbow, and had to take class notes with my right hand! Good times.

I broke a finger at like 10 pm on a Sunday night. Definitely didn't want to go to the ER for it. Barely slept and was at urgent care the minute it opened. I had complications so it ended up being over 8 weeks of not being able to use my dominant hand! Honestly, I was about ready to just cut the finger off rather than try to get it to heal anymore! I'm hoping you have a far speedier recovery!

OK SO i’ve broken my wrist _twice_ in the last 6 months. both times it was my right wrist (i am devastatingly right handed, i’ve never been more upset in my entire life) and the second time i needed ✨surgery✨. i’m currently two weeks out from having surgery on both sides of my arm, and i’m full time in a brace for the next couple of weeks. this was super interesting to watch cause of how familiar it was, but it was cool to note the differences. thank u for sharing, jorn, pls listen to kitchen when she bullies u into going to the ER.

Feel better soon, Jen! Broken bones suck. Got a hairline fracture trying to do jumping jacks, which I found out after like two days of pain. Bless the mom friends who tell people like us to go to the heckin' doctor.

“Put that thing back where it came from or so help me” we love Disney references

I broke my wrist a few weeks ago, and it was my first broken bone- this feels like solidarity

I'm so glad Jen has been able to move to a removable brace! That must be such a relief. Totally unrelated but... Has... Has KZfaq ALWAYS included an "Edited by" note under the title? Have I just been totally unaware of it this whole time? Is that an automatic feature or is that something that you guys opted to include manually?

i can entirely commiserate with you jen!! lol, i broke my ankle a couple weeks ago……by tripping over a lime scooter😂🤦‍♀️👻

Ouch, Jen!! I am glad you are healing nicely, at least!! Love story time!! On my first season playing softball in a gay league (we were also not very good), I slid/fell into 3rd base and tore my ACL. I was also like whatever it’s probably just really swollen and will heal on its own. I didn’t see a doctor until like a week later and then I did have to get surgery for it.

I understand where Jen is coming from in waiting until Monday. I broke my arm on Saturday and waited to tell my parents to take me to the doctor until Monday bc it was Easter Sunday and I had to go to the Easter Egg Hunt (I was seven)
