blood, ambulances, and a day in the ER with Kandee...

WARNING: this post contains pics that are very GROSS and BLOODY! If you don't want to see them, please click "close" right now! For the strong of stomach, get ready!

i had just finished uploading the blog I typed...called my mom...and went to grab one of my computer cables...I walked by the glass wall next to the sliding glass door....my knee, or shoulder, or something bumped against the glass window....
it sounded like a hundred plates breaking on the floor...
I looked down and saw blood all over....and my leg missing a huge chunk of skin, all around my leg, and I could see down to the bone!
If the huge piece of glass hadn't stopped at the bone it would've cut my whole leg off!
 The floor was covered in blood, and many towels were soaked in blood, my shoe was filled with blood....people could hear my screaming from the building across the street.
I had worked on The Hair Battle Spectacular Show the day before and this was the down- day with no filming, I went back to work on the show the neck day- and one of the first questions I asked the paramedics was, "will I be able to work tomorrow?"... he just laughed and said they'd help me! ha ha 

...I took a picture and posted it to facebook...it really did help distract me from crying...
we were headed to UCLA hospital


my pretty hospital bracelet


my leg wrapped in a billion towels...the blood had dried when they went to take it off....and I yelled so loud, they said they thought I was  in labor in the hallway (but I told them, I've already had 3 kids...and this hurt worse than any of the labors pains I've ever had!)

WARNING: the next pictures are REALLY, REALLY GRAPHIC...if you feel that you can't handle them, please close the website now....!


this is a picture of the glass left on the bottom of the window, you can see the blood still on it....they covered the window up with wood and tape when I got back....they even upgraded my room to a penthouse suite that is really fancy.....i would rather have my leg better and the little room though! They were glad to see that I could move my toes, and I would be able to use my leg like normal.


I had to have x-rays to make sure the glass sheet didn't sever my bone...


they had to call in a specialist to see how to re-attach my skin... we were there from 2pm until almost 9pm...and for at least 1 1/2 hours I didn't have any pain medication....they said I was "really strong" and couldn't believe how tough I was....there was a man with a small laceration that was screaming his head off....and I almost had my leg cut off AND  was doing good....


I hadn't eaten anything all day, and I couldn't eat because they said the medicine would work better with an empty stomach.....and I could only have some ice chips... 
 
UCLA has the nicest staff of nurses and doctors....the amazing doctor, Anne Schmidt, took 2 hours to sew my lag back together...she was a perfectionist, and we laughed and talked about cupcakes...and she said she couldn't believe I was laughing and talking about desserts!

j
She did such an amazing job! I can't believe how she put my leg back together! They said I will need plastic surgery to make my leg look normal again...but at least I can move my toes and walk on it!
I have to take a lot of medication due to how severely the glass cut my leg, infection could be really bad and the pain is excruciating. It feels like lighting bolts of pain and like a knife is stuck in my bone.

I am so thankful that I am ok, and that it didn't cut my neck or face, the glass missed my femoral artery, which could've been real bad!
I am so thankful that I'm ok...and I know that there are people and little babies that are in so much more pain....I pray for all the little babies and kids that are in pain or hurt, that God would comfort their little hearts and their pain...

I have crutches, because I can't pull on the skin...and it feels like shooting pain goes up my leg when I put pressure on it!
My sweet friend, Tessa picked me up, she even had to go through all the traffic causes by them shutting streets down because Obama was eating in Beverly Hills! She took me to Diddy Riese, an amazing place to choose your own "cookie" ice cream sandwich, I picked white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and espresso chip ice cream..... We had thai food, shared hot tea, and a Thai Tea (one of my fav drinks) at Mr. Noodle in Westwood.
....it is 2:49am...it's been a long day....
there's any almost eaten creme brulee cheesecake next me...
can't keep my eyes open...
I 'm so glad that nothing worse happened...and I pray for all the people that are going through much worse things than me...
huge love from me and my swollen leg.....your kandee

and an upgrade to a better room is not a sorry message !!!
YOU COULD HAVE LOST YOU LEG or worse.
get a lawyer NOW !

and I agree with SydneY3385

Deb1701 said...

Get a lawyer girl that is mega bucks. I know that sounds bad but an upgrade to the penthouse is not enough for the severity of your injury. I hope you are feeling a little better. I fell after having major knee surgery when I was 18, gouging the flesh from just below the knee cap, I can still remember the pain so am amazed at how brave you are. Try not to do too much too soon. Hugs get well soon!

Honeydreams said...

it looks really painful! i'm praying for a speedy, painless recovery! get well soon!

tiffany said...

Oh my goodness...That is so horrible. I am so sorry that this happened to you but am very happy that it wasn't worse and they were able to fix it, for the most part. I hope you have a speedy recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Get well soon!

Unknown said...

Oh Kandee, you really got hurt, I pray that you recover soon. You are so strong, and God always puts strong and humble people through tests. He is always testing the people he loves a lot, but never goes over the limit. You have so many people who love, so keep up your spirit. And thanks for all the joy that u spread all over the world.

Landee, Those look nasty and I hope your recovery is well, but I suggest blurring the numbers on your braclet or removing the picture. I work for a hospital, and anyone can forge document and use your Insurance. We take great pains to shred any documents that are not pertenant to the permanent file with personal information. Hope your not into much pain, or hope they give you great painkillers.

Michelle Murray said...

WoW! That's a big GASH! I saw a post about this yesterday but didn't have time to click on it. WoW! I'm so glad you still have your leg! That looks really painful. I hope it heals well and doesn't leave too bad of a scar. Mosly I hope u get use to walking on it quickly. Praying for you Kandee ♥

It's a Bear life said...

holy moly! i cant believe the glass cut you like that!! geez!! i hope it heals well! keep it clean and take the antibiotics they give you!! and vitamin E oil helps with healing and scarring. i love you !!!

Navibug said...

You're an amazing woman, thinking of other people when you're missing a chunk of flesh from your leg!!

I remember when I picked up this huge, glass bonsai holder. There was a hairline break in the glass, which I wouldn't have noticed. When I picked it up, it fell apart in my hands, and there was glass everywhere!!

I received a laceration on my hand, and I thank God that it didn't slice my wrists etc...

Now, I'm pretty afraid of glass, and if I'm near glass, I just remember the huge crashing sounds and I'm dead on my feet lol.

Someone is looking out for you :)

I pray to God that I will be like you one day, and pray for that leg of yours! xxooxx

te10suany said...

Oh my God!
I feel so sad for you. Thanks God you are stronger, and I know you will be fine.
Thanks for sharing good and bad with us. We love you Kandee.

Agatha said...

Kandee I almost fainted looking at these pictures. I hope you get better soon - good on you for being so brave - I would have passed out if this had happened to me.
Keep well and plz update us on your progress. All the best! Take care!

Unknown said...

Kandee please help. My heart feels like it has literally been sliced up, like your leg! What is a girl supposed to do when a guy takes her out on dates, sweet talks her, pays her compliments, etc. and basically makes the girl like him, but deep down she knows that the only reason he's doing all of that is so that he can try and get sex out of her? Do guys really go to all that effort if all they want at the end is sex? Or is it possible that they actually do like the girl? PLEASE HELP, desperately need an outside point of view!

MissKC said...

Oh my God Kandee you poor thing. Hope you get well soon, my prayers are with you. xxx

That's just unbelievable. I'm so glad you are okay. You are one strong cookie. I still can't believe that cut. Take it slow and easy and make sure to do what the doctor's say. Leg injury's can linger when not treated right, I know from experience :\ Take care <3

Oh my God. I sincerely hope you're okay! I canNOT imagine the pain you're in, but I'm so thankful that nothing horrendous occurred like nerve damage or even losing anything! Bobby - take good care of her. She's precious! I hope you two REST, rest, rest! And if it helps at all (I'd actually check with a doc on this), taking cayenne capsules is a natural painkiller. That's the basis of Tigerbalm, Icy Hot, and arthritis creams (capsaicin from peppers). BE CAREFUL!

Unknown said...

OMG KANDEE!! i just keep reading ,besides i dont like the blood, and let me tell you that you are so brave and your boyfriend is an angel for helping you in the most hard moment.

i hope you are ok kandee!
i REALLY should have taken your warning a lot more seriously about the bloody pics...very graphic...i can't imagine what pain you would've been in.

BIGGGGG kisses! hope that takes at least a tiny bit of pain away

Unknown said...

I meant to look at what happened to you the other day! I got to see it just now. I will be praying for you.I know what you're going though. I almost lost my pinky on Thanksgiving about 4 years ago or so opening a can. I was forcing it open with a knife and the miracle blade shot up and sliced my pinky. I saw the blood shooting out of my finger and I was hot and about to pass out. But I went to the bathroom to pee cause I was so shocked. My family was screaming cause I kind of hit them all with the squrts of blood. No one wanted to touch me so I had to hold my finger myself. It happened so quick, we were all in shock. I almost lost my pinky too, and I'm an artist its hard to hold a pencil if you don't have a pinky. I still can't feel my pinky fully but over the years I think the nerves are improving and I'm regaining feeling little by little. I regret that I never took pictures. I didn't cry either...oddly I felt excited looking at my insides hanging out of my body. I wonder what my soul would look like if I could see it?
I will be praying for you to get better. You will get better.

Miss Ebony said...

Oh my word, Miss Kandee. I'm so glad that you're alright. Thank God for that! I'll definitely be praying for you. Keep us posted on your recovery!!!

You are very strong as I would've probably died from the shock!!!

yelaklleps said...

I cut off the very tip of my finger (which completely grew back in 2 weeks) and I cried like a baby and almost threw up.

Needless to say...you must have been very very strong!

I cna't even imagine the pain. But thankfully you have God, loved ones, and lots of fans there for you.

You're in my prayers. Get well! I pray for a speedy recovery!

As a plus, you don't have to worry about shaving...well maybe you will, but I know I wouldn't, lol!

Omg Kandee was the glass loose or something? I dont understand how the glass can just shatter and nearly sever you leg like that if you only bumped it?! So grateful it was not worse omg

Dear kandee,
im so sorry about what happened, you didnt deserve it. In the videos u are so nice and sincere and i truly think you are one of the nicest ppl on youtube. I hope you get better very quickly and the pain subsides. Even tho, nothing this bad has ever happened to my i truly do sympathise with you, unfortunately i can do nothing more but to express my concern. Although, this is a terrible situation, it has made me realise to value everything i take for granted and realise i am very fortunate. you truly are inspirational and a role models for many.

thank you kanddee for blessing us with your wonderful personality and charisma.

Oh my God Kandee... I hope you get well soon, I know that with your spirit and heart warmth it won't take more than a few days.... You are so strong... This was just something to make you even stronger :-) God bless you, the worst is over now...

Unknown said...

Looks like you have a nike symbol on your leg. Stay strong.

LittleBolus said...

Hope you recover quickly Kandee!

I cried for you when I read what you had to go through...
It's amazing to see how you can keep your spirit up!
You really inspire me!

Different said...

Awww!! that looks painful!! I hope your okay Kandee!! :(

Ebru said...

Get well soon Kandee, and with the great attitude that you have I know you will feel better really soon! You're so right, we should all be VERY thankful that we are healthy because unfortunately everything depends on health. I think a lot of people take their health for granted and only realize how important it is and how great life is when something happens to them. My prayers are with you, take care! x

i love you kandee! i hope god blesses you!

Thanks for sharing such a horrific story, but with that outcome, it is amazing. I love that you were able to post those pictures as it gave those that wanted to see a better visualization of the damage. Thanks again, and glad to see you are OK.

I'm glad you're okay! Hope you get better soon =)

Jayde Nicole said...

Hey Kandee! I hope you're doing better, and that the pain has subsided a bit, just wanted to let you know to avoid seafood at all costs while your leg is healing! that includes fish, shrimp, lobster, crabs etc, well maybe the fish is ok, but from what my mom tells me, shrimp, lobster, and crabs make your skin keloid wayyy bad! in my opinion, i think shes right, cause i have a scar on my hand and when it was healing, she didn't allow me to eat shrimp or any seafood, and its a flat scar thats barely noticeable, while my brother has one on the back of his thigh that has keloided, and during his healing period, he ate lotssss of shrimp, so just wanted to share my knowledge, best of luck, my prayers are with you, stay strong!

Unknown said...

hey kandee, at least when your leg heals up and you have check-mark shaped scar, you can tell people that you're the right choice ;D (general mills commercial)

Harajuku Dark Angel said...

HoLY shit!! sorry all i can say it looks very severe but I must say you did manage everything very good, on the youtube video you looked very calm(probably cause of the medicine) but still you looked calm which in these cases of emergencies is always the most important matter fell better kandee!!

Unknown said...

hey you are really strong an tough, you have my respect. get well soon.
take care of yourself

best regards from germany :)

thatgirrll727 said...

Kandee you are soooo brave! I could have never been making a video while all this was going on! I have a weak stomach like you, and I probably would have passed out. I never usually leave comments on people's blogs or youtube videos, but I thought I would definitely leave you one! I hope you feel better very very soon! I have to get a mouth operation Monday and I was super nervous, but seeing you do this really inspired me to be strong..so thank you for that! Again, I hope you get better really soon :)

Katie87 said...

Kandee I love your videos!!! Stay strong your leg will heal and it's amazing it did not do worse damage!!! Your fans love you =)

Michelle said...

I'm thankful that your leg was fixable and that you didn't cut any major arteries! I'm also glad you were in LA and got some great care at UCLA's hospital. I know they would take good care of you. Also if you do need plastic surgery on your leg (even though some wounds heal to faint scars after a couple of months), you are in the right town for that procedure! :) All my love, and I am astounded by your braveness. I would have cried and screamed up a storm. HUGS!

Dang Girl, you're a trooper! Get well soon!

I'm so sorry this happened to you. You are so incredibly strong I prob. would've been crying for hours and hours. Take care of yourself, get lots of rest so you can get better soon. We're very thankful you're ok, but I'm so sad this happened to you. : (
Love you Kandee, please take care!

Unknown said...

Kandee,
I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that the pain goes away and that everything will be okay. You are very strong and pray that you keep your strength up! Get well soon, Kandee!!!

Maria said...

Wow! Sorry that happened to you! OUCH! Pain is bad, believe me, I know what it is like.

While you haven't much to do, go to www.CCFA.com I have Crohn's. Surgery = a B----.

Anyways, I wish you a speedy recovery. I hope your leg gets tons better super fast. Get one of those pillows that has the little beads in it and squeeze it if you are in pain. I got one when I had my surgery and it helps so much. I still use it.

Maria

THATS AWSOME U POSTED PICS, I WOULD DO THAT TOO. I HOPE UR LEG HEALS SUPER QUICK LOOOOOVE U XOXO

Gordon said...

Dear Kandee,

I watch your videos often as you are a constant ray of sunshine and goodness in mine and so many people's lives. As so many other's before have said you are handling this all with amazing braver, courage and strength.

One thing to remember as you heal; no matter the makeup, the look, the clothes, the smile, nothing is more beautiful than the strength and humanity you have displayed through this. While you may seek ways to hide it, you should also wear any scar as a badge of honor. Severed leg and all you continue to be one of the classiest and most beautiful women out there. I only wish that my meager words somehow reach you, and they give you a tiny fraction of the inspiration you've given me.

All the best wishes and love me and the Universe can muster my dear!

-Andrew

Denikanika85 said...

wow girl your sooooooo strong!!! i hope you get better soon and your leg will look just fine because you are amazing, beautiful, STRONG woman!! we send you all our love and prayers!! ps tell your boyfriend good job for us!!!

Modern Grace said...

I couldn't view these pics for the longest time... It did make me feel ill. It looks like a shark attack! I can't believe the things that happen on a normal day, and then they made you wait so long. I would think it was traumatic enough to get immediate attention. Hope you heal fast!

Sandra Konrad said...

I am so happy to see that your ok. Your an extremely strong person for all that you have endure and continue to endure. I will keep you in my prayer. Kudo's to Bobby, your an awesome person.

Unknown said...

Kandee,

I really hope you get this haha : )

I have been watching your videos for sometime now and love them!!! but I just wanted to say that I am praying for you, and it was awesome how you got through it! : )
My dad and I were in a motorcyle accident August 1st last year... I broke my femur and tibia and my dad ended up losing his foot because he stuck it out into the car that hit us. In the end it saved my life... anyways, the point of this is to just say that I know some of the pain that you were going through (I got to get titianium rods and screws in upper and lower leg, yippee). oh! and that I watched a bunch of your videos in the hospital because they made me smile!! : ) You handled it incredibly well, and it was 1) super scary to see that you were hurt, but 2) in the end great to see how you made it through it.
Thank you so much for everything, best of luck, and you are in my prayers!!
<3 Kate

Thank you for being and inspiration all the time. You are such a strong woman. You make me want to be a better person everyday! :)

Omg hun! That is horrible!! Like you said, I'm glad nothing much more severe happened. I'm glad you will have full use of your leg and foot as well.

Get well soon.

BlissfullyClueless said...

I hope the pain meds just numb you out.I feel so bad for you, you will be in our prayers. I have to say though, as a nursing student watching your video, you are as tough as nails. I've seen people with injuries much less severe act as if they were dying, but you seemed optimistic throughout the whole ordeal. Good for you!! Sending you love and well wishes.

OH my gosh!! I hope you feel better soon! :(

Unknown said...

Hello, everything happens for a reason. The Lord is merciful. You were spared a much worse fate as you said that the glass could have severed your femoral artery and killed you. Your story I am sure will help others. Your sharing of it is important. Your faith is awesome. You will use this in your life to be a better person and to help others. You already are doing it. God Bless You. John 3:16

Unknown said...

Oh, one other comment. I read some others that said get a lawyer to sue. Everyone hates lawyers and make fun of them until they need one. If I understand correctly, you bump into a glass wall and it shatters and almost kils you? Or cuts your leg off? Let me ask you this question, if the plate of glass hit your neck and killed you, would your family be seeking a civil suit for your death? Or, would your family just do nothing? I think as you reflect, the upgrade is an attempt to appease you. No glass wall should shatter from a bump and why is a wall glass anyway? I live in Alaska and that is about useless idea I have ever heard. What next, glass floors? Seek legal consultation at the very, very least. You have only a limited amount of time to seek a civil action. God bless.

I had a dream the other night about you. I had the opportunity to meet you. Upon shaking your hand, I CRIED. I couldn't believe I was meeting my Role Model. Then I find out about your accident. My heart sunk. I couldn't believe this had to happen to you. Kandee, Get well soon. My prayers are with you and You are strong! I love ya girlie!

Omg can't believe you're still able to sound so happy! You're such a positive person!
I closed my eyes for the pictures though, I accidentally saw a really bad shot in your youtube-video, and I think that if I saw everything I'd trhow up haha! (sorry)
Good luck, hope you get well soon!

Instead of saying "OMG" I'm gonna say....
Dear Kandee, I'm so glad your leg & you are ok. What an accident!!! Its always nice to have a good staff of nurses & docs that take the time for patients. I have an UGLY huge scar on my arm with a plate & 6 screws so I know the feeling of being scared of an ugly scar. It'll get better though!!!

I've just read this with a friend of mine and I can't believe this happened to you!! :( :(

It must all have been so traumatic..
And you've gotten through it with such courage too which just proves once again how amazing you are. It is a good thing you didn't get hurt worse than this and I'm so glad your boyfriend was there to help.

Hope it heals nice and pretty and you get better soon.

I'll pray for you fighter chick kandee :D Hang in there!!

Anonymous said...

Kandee I am so happy that for the most part your okay! It's sweet that your worried about all of the people that have it worse than you do but honey that's a really bad cut and you can be upset that you are hurt so bad without feeling guilty about it because people have it worse than you. You will be in my prayers and on my prayer chain at curch. This is a big thing so take care of yourself and take all the time you need to heal. I have had 4 kids and I bet that hurt way more than labor pains. The photos did make me throw up but that's a small price to pay to be able to leave you this message of love and prayers!!
xoxo

Unknown said...

Kandee,

I'm so glad that your okay! I'm sorry that your going through so much pain. You truly are amazing you know. I've got to have heart surgery next week & I'll be thinking about God & you before I go in about how strong you are. This is my second heart surgery. I'm happy that you think about others.. you make me just want to reach out & hug you. Of course it's a country thing. Lol. Your videos are awesome & always amazing. You've been through so much in life & I relate to that more than ever. God bless you darlin. I hope everything turns out okay! Me, My husband & family will pray for you.

You are still so positive even when faced with such a situation.

The pictures are really some gruesome stuffs! The worst cut i have ever seen.

I hope your leg recovers ASAP! and be all pretty again!

Continue keeping the spirit up! (:

THICKFILIPINOCHICK said...

Hey Kandee!

I wish you a full, pain-free recovery! Well, as pain free as it gets...I know how painful that must be. Just keep taking medicines as prescribed and do what they tell you to do. Make sure you wiggle your toes and feet every so often to keep circulation up. I'm not very surprised how well you were taking the stitches and having your leg cut because from your videos and personality, I can tell you're a very strong person. I'm a nurse in California {waves} and I see grown up men scream for little itty bitty tiny cuts. Your cut is by far the biggest I've seen in my experience. I'm sure they probably gave you either morphine or dilaudid for pain medicine. Those seem to help ALOT! I wish all the best and pray for a speedy recovery.

Roberto Lovo said...

Kandee, you are the most positive person I´ve known from the webworld. So happy, full of life and perfect at what you do, not being afraid of sharing. A few months ago, a friend of mine had a terrible accident, near some rocks at the beach, and he almost died for not having medical attention. Living in a latin american country like mine, makes it difficult, so I´m very glad you received the right attention at the right time. GET WELL SOON! big hug of energy! Roberto, El Salvador.

Fleur said...

OMG, Kandee!
Seeing that you have so many posts, I don't know if there's any point in repeating what's been written before me and better.
But you've just brightened so many of my days, I really feel that I have to tell you
You're so awesome and brave! Have to admit I couldn't look at the pics, had to roll down. I wouldn't have done much better were I in your place, I guess I would've fainted immediately.
And you're so fantastic to be so positive and think of others at a time like this!
I'll really cross my fingers for you and hope everything will be OK. I can't tell you how much I wish for you to get better!
Lots of love!

illicitdolphin said...

I'm sorry to hear about your mishap. I'm glad you're okay. I love watching your videos and when I saw this one I freaked out. Weird how things like this happen. My brother broke his neck Friday night and is now paralyzed from the chest down. So I'm glad you haven't lost that ability...it's really frustrating watching someone you love and not being able to help them. But through it all we all come out a little stronger and a little wiser. God bless you doll!

Uuuhh Kandee, when I was 16 I had nearly the same accident. I was looking the same like you and some of my tendons were cut through. I am so glad that we have our own adrenaline against the pain and modern medicine, otherwise my toes would hang out together ;)
It's been 17 years since that and time heals very well and fast, so
get well soon, and always remember, scars are very sexy!
And Bobby, give your Kandee a huge kiss, that will help :D
