Complication from surgery - what will happen next on Itchy Boots? 

I will be back! ❤️ But in the meantime, I hope my book (Dutch) can give you your adventure fix 🤪 Now available for pre-order with this link!! www.boekenwereld.com/TT?tt=12322_12_470779_&r=%2Fgetbook%2Fisbn%2Faddtocart%2Fisbn-9789021046594

This is what is called civilization. It's not huge glass buildings, fast cars and planes. It is dropping everything to help a total stranger and not expecting any payment. It is treating every human being like your brother or sister.

Dear people from Tanzania, thank you for beeing so friendly, helpful, polite, unselfish to Noraly!

Hello, my name is Jim, and I live on the west coast of BC Canada. I am sure there is nothing original I can add to the comments, but I will say this. I am 72 years old, and took up back country riding and camping about 4 and a half years ago. I ride a Suzuki DR 650, and after watching Noraly's ride through Alaska and the Youkon, it inspired me to do just that. I rode from Vancouver BC to Tuktoyuktuk NWT and back, taking as many dirt roads as possible in the time frame I had. I was gone 40 days, camped 30 nights widerness camping, and rode 11000 kms. Noraly was the inspiration to do this, and she has my utmost respect and gratitude for demonstrating the courage to step outside ones comfort zone. Next year my younger brother Mark and myself will truck our bikes to Yuma AZ and then ride Copper canyon MX. Thank you again Noraly for the inspiration. From all of us you inspire, we wish you a speedy and complete recovery.

After all I’ve seen with you girl I cannot believe that a medical room caused the most damage. God’s speed in your recovery.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This woman's work ethic is on another level. Five years traveling the world creating content for us to enjoy, breaks her collarbone and while laying on a hospital bed with a collapsed lung..."uh one more thing I wrote a book by the way". I need to get my ass off the couch!🤣 Noraly you're an inspiration to us all. Get well soon!

Although the Africa leg came to an abrupt ending we are very relieved to know you're safe, it could've been far worse, please take as much rest as possible, we are all praying for your speedy recovery which I'm sure you will cause you're noraly after all !!

Though in a lot of pain, though wounded, though weary, a warrior never stops swinging their sword. Come back stronger, brave lady. With a lot of love from India, wishing you a speedy recovery.

Bless you, Noraly. And bless those kind souls who came to your rescue. How ironic, that you flew back to the Netherlands for surgery, only to have the surgeon and the radiologist screw it up, damage your lung, and not notice what they'd done. You might have been better off if you'd had the surgery in Tanzania. But that's water under the bridge. Heal up, rest, and take care of yourself. I look forward to season 8, to an English translation of your book, and to whatever new adventures you have planned. How terribly unfortunate, that all this hardship came crashing down on you.

Tanzania 🇹🇿 people thank you for showing who African people are. Kind and compassionate. Africa Rising.

Two things that i love... 1. your tenacity and resilience 2. common people are kind everywhere period !! Get well soon Noraly !!

Dear Noraly, Your openness and authenticity, on top of your other virtues, is a rare gem to offer. Thanks

I am so sorry this happened to you. You are very strong to be untreated with your injuries for so long te pain alone ☹️. Get well soon and take care of yourself!

OK everyone! Who else wants to give Noraly a big (but gentle) hug and shake hands with the guys who rescued her?

From desolate deserts to lush jungle, small villages to big cities, mud pits to highways, small mouse lemurs to huge elephants, riding deserted roads to literally getting run off the road…you have shown us that Africa is a land of diversity, extreme adventure, and beautiful people. Season 7 didn’t end how you envisioned it, but the journey was a masterpiece. It has been an absolute pleasure “riding” along with you. Thank you, Noraly. My thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏🏼 Sending much love from Texas ❤

God, it is crazy how vulnerable you were on the ground there. Thank God you got good people

Hello, I saw the videos of the accident and I am amazed at your tolerance for pain. You are a very strong woman, and from this moment I am a huge fan of your videos. 👋

The kindness of strangers is overwhelming! Prayers that you recover quickly! You are amazing!

On a motorcycle trip to Alaska in 2008 I blew up the engine just south of the Yukon Territory line. A really nice couple stopped and gave me a ride (about 10 miles) to the nearest truck stop. From there 3 truckers helped me go back to get the motorcycle, bring it back to the truck stop. There it got loaded on the back of one driver’s Kenworth and hauled me and the bike to Anchorage (1,000 miles?). I got dropped off there and 3 days later the same trucker (who had made a run to Fairbanks) picked me up and decided he would give me a ride back to Great Falls, MT (where my trip started). 2,495 miles back. THERE ARE SOME REALLY NICE PEOPLE OUT THERE.

Hello, I'm Douglas Rezende, a Historian and History teacher fascinated by expeditions and long-term trips. I discovered your channel and you this weekend and I am absolutely enchanted by your charisma, your courage, your unique way of living life and what really matters about it. beautiful trip through India. I wish you all the best and that you recover soon. A big hug and lots of admiration.

I stay amazed at the number of nice people you find in your travels.

Have been a silent viewer for over 5 years and have travelled the world with you Noraly! Heal up and take your time. You have lifelong admirers all over the world.

I was 62 self employed when l was diagnosed with chronic leukaemia and prostate cancer so l know all about life changing events. I grew up riding horses 🐎 and motorcycles so l got smash up a lot. During my treatments for cancer chemotherapy and other drugs, l had to spend a lot of time in bed or just sitting about which was extremely soul destroying. That's how l meet you Norely 😊 l found this Amazing lady on RU-vid and you were an inspiration. I admired your bravery and courage so much, you were a Light in a very dark tunnel. Thanks Norely and make sure you rest. MikeRider.

I cried both times I’ve watched the film Noralie. So glad for your safe trip home. Get healthy.

My dear Itchy Boots,I have nothing but the deepest respect for you. I have had the distinct pleasure of viewing your videos through the 5 years, and they have inspired me to be a better person. I wish you a complete recovery and the opportunity to continue your adventures. Thank you

I'm happy to see you made it to the hospital. Thanks to the three lovely people that helped you. I love all people of the world.

I can't speak for everybody who follows you...but I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of us who have breathed a collective sigh of relief that you're okay and also shed a tear or two at what you went thru in this ordeal. I wish you a speedy recovery and am looking forward to your book coming out...in Dutch and eventually English... congratulations! It isn't often an extraordinary person like yourself comes along and captures the hearts and imaginations of so many people. We are all beneficiaries of your good will, tenacity, and adventurous spirit!

I love my motherland Africa ✊🌍,, you could imagine how caring we are right? For people to cancel their daily mission just to get you help.. that's massive 🎉❤... I wish you a quick recovery dear❤❤❤... One love from Nigeria 🇳🇬🎉

Mis je. Hoop van harte dat het de goede kant opgaat met jou !! 🌹oet Grun', TW.

The person who found you was so gentle and kind. Humans can drive us crazy. But humans can be so amazing. ❤️

A message from my 92 year old mother to Nuraly. She hopes you get better soon Nuraly, because she loves watching your adventures

WOW-WOW-WOW.... absolutely WONDERFUL People!!!!Thank you to ALL your Helpers!!!🙏🇦🇺

Itchi, from Mexico, I send you lots of encouragement, so that you have a speedy recovery. You are very strong and you will be able to recover very well.

Noraly, Even amidst the pains of a broken collarbone, punctured lung, battered foot, repeated surgeries, and emotional trauma, you continued to radiate beautiful smiles and naturally doled out your signature laughter. Your strength and resilience are truly remarkable. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers for a swift and complete recovery. I bestow upon you the title of the "Princess of Africa" for your unwavering embrace of our people with so much kind words and praises, despite obvious challenges you faced. You embody the spirit of Africa, a beacon of pride for humanity, and a shining example of humility. Take all the time you need to heal, rest, and rejuvenate. We will be here waiting for you, God sparing our lives. Sending you all my love and support. Jimmy.

Wow, I also had an moto accident in Mexico. I was unconscious with a bloody head, fractured hip and ankle severely bloody with lots of other minor injuries. This local man saw the accident, called for an ambulance, went in the ambulance with me to the hospital, and also safe guarded my motorcycle for me. I don’t remember any of it. Just another angel who came out of no where to help out.

Noraly, so sorry about your injuries. I have first hand experience (too many!) of broken bones, so I understand how painful it can be. How you managed to make content while lying in the mud, fly halfway across the world and even after your surgical complications is an inspiration. Your strength and courage are simply remarkable. Take as much time as you need to recover physically and, even more importantly, mentally. Your fans adore you and we'll be patient until you are ready for Season 8. Love and Peace.

Noraly, you are truely an inspiration to myself and countless others. Your tenacity and kindness are evident in every one of the 650 episodes you've released. You're a shining example of dedication to chase your dreams. You inspire me to be kinder and help those in need. You inspire us more than you know. 💛

The fact that you were found by doctors tells me that the universe is looking out for you. Get well soon Noraly. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures for all these years.

It is a strange thing that people who never actually met Itchy Boots found themselves caring for her. Norely, you are one hell-of-a woman. We are so happy to know that you survived. You dear lady have made your mark in history. What a woman?

Speedy recovery. We'll miss you alot.

I have been watching your videos from the begining and have learned a lot about our world and the good people who live every where you visited. Thanks for taking us along on your travels. Please take it easy till you recover your strength.

" The guys in the car were doctors" Of course they were. This is Noraly, what else would they be!!!!

Such a strong woman. She remained calm in the middle of nowhere and in so much pain that many would panic in that situation. I hope she is fully recovered soon.

You are a legend and an inspiration!! Wishing you a speedy recovery Noraly...Get well soon !

You inspired me to buy a bike, learn to ride and have now enjoyed several adventures! Thank you. I hope that your recovery is speedy and successful. Much love from Canada!

Ps…. You know you’re loved when over 80,000 people have watched this video in only the first two hours❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear People from Tanzania: Thank you for being so kind and helpful. ItchyBoots: You will recover fast.

WOW, thank you for shareing. Thank God for careing people and that hopefully your body will recover. Miracles happen and you have a angel on your shoulder. What goes around comes around. God Bless Norally my dear.

Spending all my prayers to you Noraly, for a speedy recovery, as well as to all guys who helped her after your accident, and even to all the nice people you've met during your journey in Africa, from all countries. You made us discover something special... warmth, humanity, help, empathy, cohesion, friendship, respect, solidarity ❤️ Lovely people there! I'm French, born in Africa (Mauritania), but never been there since my childhood. .. you made me wanting to visit all these amazing countries and meeting all these amazingly wonderful people! Thanks for that as well, Noraly!

Angels are everywhere, folks that took you to the hospital leaving their work are nothing short of angels. Get well soon, and prayers for speedy recovery. be back with a bang!!!

Africa! The most caring and hospitable people in the world. I have felt nothing but pride following this amazing adventure. Thankyou for showing this continent as beautiful as she is.

I send you all my best wishes for your fast recovery! I hope to see you with the power and the happiness that characterices you very soon! A big big hug from Spain!

I hope you get better as soon as possible. And come back stronger than before. Beautiful, brave and strong lady.❤

They punctured her lung , and some days later she is telling us all about it, this woman is a living legend🥺

This is Tanzania my home Country, I am so glad to see we are all like this..TZ are kind ppl...am sorry about your accident and pain

I just wanted to say I hope you heal really well. You've kept me going through some pain the last few years and having you to distract me and to also help me to feel like im travelling the world through your eyes, instead of being stuck in my four walls, i cant thank you enough and feel you need to know how grateful i am for all your hard work, its been an amazing adventure. lots of love and well wishes.

Ik hoop dat je snel hersteld! Je reis is fantastisch en je bent wel een doorzetter! I hope you will recover soon and see you back on RU-vid! Many greetings from The Netherlands and a big hug!

This video has shown the world what the real Africans are like - a kind and a good people. I live in England one day a new vehicle I had just bought caught fire on the highway, my son and I jumped out and tried to flag down hundreds of vehicles, not one stopped. This is the heart of the true African, we don’t abandon people in trouble or in pain. Thank you Itchy boots for telling our story. I know you will get better. Somebody up there is surely watching over you, was it a coincidence that it was doctors that showed up to rescue you? You are a different kind of human being - still very up beat and ready to go. Hope it’s not the Antartica you are going next 😅. Get well soon!

A little old lady in the UK sends all best wishes for a gentle recovery. You’re quite a gal.👍🏼

I have not watched your videos in a while, but wow I wasn't expecting to see this. I am so glad you are on the mend. I used to ride alone and had a bad accident hitting a tree during an off road ride. So glad I didnt break my neck but rode my bike 17 miles with a missing radiator until I could get back home and go to the ER. Take your time getting better. Look forward to your next update and getting better.

Noraly, you are just such an amazing human being and that is why people also treat you with respect and care. Your aura just erradiates peace and love. Here is for a speedy recovery!

My husband Walter ...a huge fan...would have been devastated by your accident. He passed a year ago. I suggested he ride with uou in Spirit and keep you safe...a Guardian angel for you. We both adore you and I have tears over this happening to you Noraly. Sending you love and healing energy from Walter and myself. ❤❤

One of the strongest women I've ever seen. Take your time and do your healing. Noraly, YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE LEDGEND!!!

You have given this adventure youre all. There is not one thing you need to be sorry for. You have accomplished so much that it is mind boggling. I have really appreciated your videos and your giving me a glimpse of parts of the world I will never get to go to. Thank you for all you have done and shown me. I hope you find a quick recovery and can continue your trail. God Bless and much love.

Your positive attitude despite all of that is amazing. Inspirational. I hope you're making a speedy recovery.

58,000 of us have wrched you within 48 minutes..you can imagine the silent prayers we've said so far ...God heal you Norlaly.. you're a true legend

On an earlier season, a lady from a village in Africa asked you what you would do if you ever ran into trouble, and you said something like, “there is always someone that would help”. You found those people, again. Thanks for a great season, and we are just so grateful you are healing. Looking forward to the book in English, and whatever else it is you’re up to. Cheers!🍻

Hi. Its the first time I watch your vids and it seems I know you for a long time because of your honest and great work. Now its time to think in yourself, caring yourself and get absolutelly well. You are a brave woman, you will be back stronger, no doubt, just take your time, you have earned it. Cheers.

Get well soon my love …world needs people like you to provide courage and hope .❤❤

Wow, what a strong lady! Despite all the damage, she is still smiling and committed to what she is doing. At the end of the video, when she said, "I will be back and back stronger," it brought tears to my eyes. God bless you, give you health, and a quick recovery!♥

Props to my fellow Africans for going the extra mile helping you. The Motherland is taking care of our visitors! I follow your channel over the last 2 years. My Dear - please take your time; I hope the recovery process will pass smoothly and long enough; God Bless! You are so very inspiring!

Get well soon . . . Missing you lots. Wishing you all the very best and a speedy recovery! Lots of love and hugs!

I am so happy to know there are people in other countries that would help you so much. Its just reassuring to know. God will blessed them. So sorry for your accident. Speedy recovery. Thank you for all your videos. WE are praying for fast recovery...

The most amazing thing about Noraly is her attitude. She is always finding the bright spot in the clouds and moving toward it. Godspeed with your recovery!

When I broke my collar bone on bicycle, I was 500 m from the nearest super modern hospital. I fainted froim pain on the way to the hospital where a stranger took me in his car. I admire Itchy Boots how brave and strong she is.

I just spent the last two months recovering from surprise open-heart surgery. The amount of support has been unreal and I hope you get it because I’m sending it your way too.

No one, absolutely no one has ever before shown what so much of the world is like at ground level! Thank you, Noraly.

I am a retired APRN and I am truly disappointed and quite shocked at the level of care she received in her home country's hospital. She held off and went home to have better health care and by the looks of it she did not receive that care unfortunately. I wish the best for Noraly and hope she heals well without any more complications. Take care and you will be missed can't wait til your next adventure.

Godspeed recovery to you, Noraly. The indomitable spirit in you lives on. Hope to see you back sooner than expected. Stay strong, Brave one.

Hope you have a speedy recovery. Take time out for yourself, and I look forward to looking at your new RU-vid videos when your fully rested. Best wishes from Ireland.

The immense kindness of all the people in Tanzania who helped you so extensively have my total respect.

Someone give this woman an award. An outstanding individual and role model.

I realy love your content because in all situations u always keeps a smiling face,wished u a fast healing

So sorry you took such a bad spill! I agree with others who say just take this time to rest and recuperate. Sometimes, it takes a huge slap in the face to realize we need to slow down a little. I hope your injuries heal well and that you feel much better soon! I look forward to reading your book. You are an awesome person and an inspiration to us all.

You passed our country and we felt honored. From all of us here in Harare, Zimbabwe be well Noraly. Goddamitt get back on that bike you fearless woman!! Take your time and come back stronger...We are with you

Noraly is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise negative world. Most of her followers are incapable of modeling her adventures but continue to live vicariously thru her. Her attitude, discipline, and sense of adventure create a safe space for us twice a week. I will miss her immensely until October and wish her a rapid and complete recovery.

my dear Itchy, all the best. Hope you get out there again riding in the wind. Get all the rest you need. Health is more important than anything.

I admire your resilience, Noraly! Feel better soonest! We all are waiting for your next ride!

The surgeons never tell you how much nerve damage you get for even the smallest cut. Noraly, your positive attitude is the key to life.

Noraly, thank you for all you do. I am 81 years of age and live vicariously through you. Sorry for the crash but you need to take all the time you need to heal. We will be here for you. Much love. JimS.

Dear Noraly, you are my dear friend since I had a heart surgery. I was healing with following your journey. When I saw you broke your bone, there was a cute pain in my right shoulder too. Thanks galaxies you are alive and kicking. Thanks that your lung puncture is cured. I will keep my fingers crossed for your health. Please please be more careful. You are always on my mind 💐❤️

You are a marvel! I'm 75 yrs. old with an adventious spirit and I absolutely enjoy traveling with you if only virtually. Thank you for making my life more enjoyable! Take it easy and get well soon! Thank you to the Tanzanian people who helped you.

As a doctor, i just kept developing goosebumps as the story progressed. The bumpy ride in pain, the punctured lung. Wishing you a speedy recovery with no more complications. You make us women proud by showing how brave and resilient we can be. Stay strong!!!. My Wednesday and Sunday evenings will be very dull now. But you need the time to heal and we are praying for you. Take care!!! Love, a Nigerian who has been watching you in Saudi Arabia.

As a physician I cannot help but comment your medical care is a new level of incompetence.

Thank you for continuing with the editing one-handed and under the influence. Excellent work, even with that pain-killer mental sludge. Otherwise we would have all been wondering. You are a trooper!

Best wishes for your recovery. I’ve lived vicariously through your exploits, and am an unconditional fan.

A few years ago, while my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, I sat her mom down and we began watching your videos. We started with season 1 and she was so amazed with your fearless attitude. She fell in love with all of your adventures. She ended her fight and passed in December of 2023. This is the first time I am able to watch your videos without her here. I just couldn’t do it, but I’m glad, today, I did. She would always say how brave you were… I’m so glad you’re safe… your videos bring so much comfort to me… thank you

Currently I am in the midst of chemo fighting a difficult battle with cancer, and I feel a close kinship with this video and message, “I will come back with new energy, stronger and good health.” You have inspired me to keep fighting. Best of luck to you Noraly.

After watching some of your amazing adventurous videos, all up and down moments, crooky and straight roads you passed, happy and disparate, ethical and unethical, corrupt and justice, kind and respectful, loving and caring people you encountered... above all watching video you made even when in pain, your resistance, resilience, your amazing strength (mental, physical and emotional), beautiful sense of humour, your beautiful human nature in general is just beyond expressing in words...what an iron lady you are!🎉 You're a definition of true holistic humanity to be told, to be drawn a lot of lessons...I wish you a quick and complete recovery! Please take your time, give enough rest to body and mind. Then you will come back with full energy. Sending you a big hug with a big love and respect from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Great resilience Noraly, you are such an inspiration. I hope you are recuperating well following the unfortunate accident. I miss to see you again soon for Season 7, please restart from where you stopped 🙏.
