Heyo! You can find this purse and other prints in my store! Link in desc or at kkderobst.com. And! You can find me on insta under the same name. I only rememeber one ear bone falling out... still worried there are others in there.
Bro, I can't believe that I have found someone like me. I had the same earr problem when I was younger to a point where I also needed tubes in my ear. I find this really cool because I have never met someone who had this problem
I.... I love your use of "ear bone" because it's totally accurate it just sounds odd because that's not what we're used to hearing. (😂 see what I did there?) I mean… My knees are jacked up so I often will say that my "knee balls aren't working" because I have no cartilage and my joints are just the end of my femur and the end of my tibia rubbing on each other. But also… I have questions .
@@rubberband_7oh dear lord. There are tons of people w ear issues and ear tubes. I want to school w a girl who had them too. Its nice yall are talking but its just not that rare
I had a lot of jaw surgery when I was 13. Years later, I was on the bus, and I felt something kind of sharp at the back of my cheek. I kept poking at it with my tongue, and by the time I got home, it had worked its way out. I spit it out, and it was a chip of bone. 🙃
Neat! I worked as a volunteer dental assistant for half a year and learned this can happen with jaw/oral bone surgeries! Not sure if it can happen to other parts of the body. But during oral surgeries needing to remove a tooth for example, fairly commonly a bit of your jaw bone will break off as its usually more imperative that the roots of your tooth are removed, easier done if the roots of your tooth remain connected to the cap of your tooth. So all that wedging and digging can often come with parts of your jaw bone. While dentists do their best to remove all loose fragments of bone. But there are plenty of cases where after or during the healing process people will feel fragments of bone that where missed. A good majority of cases the bone works itself out like in your case, but sometimes more surgery is required to remove the shard if its causing pain or at risk of infection :)!
Had my wisdom tooth removed. Kept spiting put bone shards for like two weeks. It feels like grainy sand. I probably ate some of them as well. If you do get them removed, bew lots of tea bags. Place them on the site to help with healing. Keep them in them, fidge. Somewhat tasty ice packs.
@@CoolBeansWe oooh yeah I had this happen after getting all of my janky wisdom teeth removed, started with a 1.5cm chunk of bone coming out and ended with another surgery to clear out a shocking amount of bone shards. My surgeon was weirded out by how much of my jaw crumbled without there being an infection and attributed it to my connective tissue disease. The mouth and jaw can have some strange malfunctions lol
@@jjjjackkk @OllieAzazel Let's all look to Jesus the real Man and God who died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full so we can be with Him forever! :) That's a free gift right there! 😃
I also had to get tubes, but because of how often I got ear infections and the tubes, I couldn't hear for a while, so the way I pronounced sounds manifested more similar to a German accent than an upstate NY accent. Mind you, no one in my family for like 7 generations had any German accent 😂 but I also couldn't control my volume. So just imagine a screaming German child
“As a baby I was loosely tethered to this earth” makes me think of my best friend who was born, gave everyone the stink eye, then immediately died 😂 they brought her back but at what cost she still asks
I was born, the nurse snarked something at my mom, the nurse held me up and I shit down her arm... spent the next year with both middle fingers kind of stuck up so I came out with attitude problems that never went away😂
WAIT I HAD THAT TOO. They are called grommets, unless you had something different. I got them about 4 i think and I compleatly forgot about it but when i was around the same age as you were i had an "ear infection" so we called a doctor over to our house. The doctor said i had alot if "white pus" in there and i had to take eardrops. After a couple days it only got worse but then something fell out! It was just my grommet, not an ear infection. I dont know what happened to the other one, maybe it fell out years earlier or naybe its still in there. According to google theyre only supposed to stay in for 6-12 months before falling out but that was definatly not the case with me. Also, i cant remember, but i belive the eardrops were super expired so that may have been what made it worse.
Yup! My grommets were done at 4 too and they fell out after 5 hours 😂 surgeon was not impressed but tbf neither were my parents when he said "we had a complication and I slipped and now your daughter is deaf" so fairs fair I say 😅
@@sier3386 unfortunately lol I was like 4 and I have abnormally tiny ears (I was in medical textbooks because of my ears, bladder and perineum all being abnormally short and small, I literally have a bladder the size of an acorn lol) and because my ears were so small and my glue ear was so bad he slipped 🤷🏼♀️ it's just one of those things lol I also have lead in my eyebrow from when I was 2 and ran with a pencil in my hand and stabbed my eyebrow accidentally, then there was the time when I was 5 and my mum forgot to close the safety gate on the kitchen and I slapped both hands palm down on the hot freshly used two front rings of the oven and now I don't have feeling in my palms cause the nerves are dead. I was a VERY accident prone kid (sometimes because of my hearing affecting my balance) it's just another funny story to me lol
@@sier3386 and no, my parents did not sue. This was the 90s and honestly they didn't care, they were annoyed but that's it. See, I was a donor child. Ya know the film, my sisters keeper? I was like that. My older brother was very sick, I was supposed to be born to basically be a living factory of organs and medical necessity for my brother but I was unfortunately born with leukaemia and was very, very sick as a child so I couldn't donate anything and my brother died when I was 4 weeks old and I didnt know any of this until recently but it made sense as I'm the "black sheep" of my family.
@@maddydavidsdottir9862 😮 I'm so freaking sorry hun. That sounds like a really hard way to have grown up and seeing as you were born with complications too and your brother ended up dying, I can't imagine how you were treated as a child 😢 I hope you're life is better now
Mine fell out and one of them didn’t heal back up leaving me with hearing damage and chronic ear infections (ironic) so I feel you on the negative experiences with those suckers
@@ikeasvu8790 Yeah I still have a hole in one eardrum from mine, though infections are a little less frequent (sadly I have to use drops cause the antibiotic pills I tried just never worked.) I'm thankful it doesn't affect my hearing too severally as it's mostly low-low bass and high frequency I can't hear.
“Loosely tethered to this earth” is a great way to say you’re entire early life was like one giant near death experience 😂 Glad you kept kicking and are still here! I love your content, you seem like a very cool down to earth person that I’d probably want to be friend w irl as a fellow artist :)
The combination of unhinged voice overs & art That makes me want to paint on random accessories at 3am is so welcome 🤌 I hope you enjoyed your bone maraca 🦴
I was born with arthritis and was diagnosed at 18 months old. When I was little, & would ask other kids how old they were when they were diagnosed. I thought it was something everyone did. I also often confused “uncle” and “doctor” when talking about and/out to the affected party.
I had juvenile arthritis in my knees growing up. I grew out if it in my late teens. Never knew anyone else on this planet that had any form of arthritis as a child. Hi
I have those too! (I still get new ones every couple of years, tho i also have to wear hearing aids) As a kid I once found one of them on my pillow (probably fell out during the night) and I kinda assumed that it was put there by the tooth fairys twin or something, since it was around the time I started losing my teeth 😂
@@kkderobst haha, yeah. I got them blue and gold. Maybe i should start a collection with the ones i kept - people would pay to see colored ear bones right?
At least just the tube fell out. I still have ear infections pretty much monthly but to make matters worse I had a plum sized keliod on my ear from a dog attack , got it stuck in a door and ripped it off panicking as well as flung my ear tube out in kindergarten. I thought my teacher and the nurse were going to pass out when I walked up bleeding profusely from the head with a lump of flesh in one hand and my ear tube in the other. Thankfully that keliod didn't come back.
Had a similar thing kind of thing happen with my vision. One time when I was about 10, I came back to school from a holiday and when I was picking my seat in the class, I kept on moving closer to the front since I couldn’t see the board, and I eventually ended up about 2 metres away from the board and I still couldn’t see. Had my eyes checked and turns out my eyes degraded past anything the optometrist had ever seen before, but I just assumed that’s how everyone saw the world, quite literally every single thing I looked at was blurred beyond belief and I just thought that was normal
I'm also severely nearsighted. When I got my first glasses at like 7 yrs old I remember walking outside and staring at everything, I kept trying to count the leaves on the trees. 😂
My brother, discibing to his friend how bad his vision was before getting glasses: "I can't reed the numberplate on that bus" His friends "That's not a bus!"
I had tubes put in my ears three times. But the doctors and my mom made sure I understand what was going on. Each time, they fell out within a few months, and the last time, I was actually able to see them and it was sooo fascinating.
The same thing happened to me when I was little. Got tubes in my ears and one fell out when I was brushing my teeth one day. I thought I broke my ear and kept trying to talk to see if it was still working lol
I feel this. I knew I had tubes as a kid but honestly didn't really understand what my ear procedures were until much later in life. I had to have been like twelve or something and I felt something in my ear or I had leaned my head to the side and it just kind of fell out and it was just some blue circle thing and I asked my mom.
I had tubes put in my ears as a kid too! I was fascinated by it, so when they eventually fell out, I simply looked at them, put them in a bag, and proudly told my mom that they had fallen out, and I was ready to go get them put back in
I had chronic ear infections as well as a kid and I still kind of get them, I also had those ear tubes put in when I was a kid and as an adult but unfortunately a doctor miscalculated a vein that was pressing up against my eardrum and when he was putting the tube in he sliced that part of my artery it took a while for me to recover and I have good amount of hearing loss and I hear a constant ringing in that ear permanently now
I HAD TUBES PUT IN MY EARS TOO WHEN I WAS LITTLE! It’s wild to hear someone else went through the same thing! My ear bone never fell out but I am glad you don’t have ear infections anymore!
Same! I had huge issues with ear infections so I got tubes when I was about 2. I always thought they came out until recently when I got a really bad ear infection so they irrigated my ear (just pushing tons of water in my ear repeatedly) and the tube came out. It’s just been hanging out this whole time?!
Tubes naturally fall out after 6+ months, and they're only intended to be temporary to deal with an ear infection. Most people lose their tubes without ever realizing it (I've never seen one come out of my ears for the years I had to have them), but apparently a rare few actually notice it.
Omg- I had the same thing happen to me but at home coming with my mom, we were really grossed out back then and I was like, WHAT IS THAT?! Funniest thing is I remember my mom or dad talking about getting the tube placed when I was two lol.
I remember them looking like tiny barbie cotton reels 😂 I was so convinced the Dr had put barbie cotton spools in my ears and I couldn't understand how this was supposed to help but I'm autistic and was a VERY over logical child, like scary too logical and now im the same as an adult
Ears do have bones, but it was likely the tubing, especially considering the fact that the "bone" didn't fit in a tooth case - the bones in the ear are the smallest in the human body
They're like little drumsticks that transfer sound waves onto and thru the eardrum, into the inner hear when the waves are converted into electrical signals your brain translates into "hearing."
Love the little bunnies, I used to get a lot of ear infections as a kid because of my tight curved narrow ear canals, needless to say my mum was considering those tubes😭
I love your creativity and beautiful creations! You are So Talented 🙌🏼✌🏼💯 Im so sorry for what you went through as a child 🙏🏼 I am so happy that things are going better for you and your health ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks for sharing so others can learn more about these risks, and how to manage their safety when the risk becomes the reality. Also, thanks for testifying of Heavenly help!
I apparently got lots of ear infections and barely spoke 10 or 12 words when I was really young, growled at people too. A doctor gave me ear tubes and in like a month I went from a dozen words to like 500. She said the problem then on was I never shut up!
Absolutely wild shit. Some teachers, man... I imagine the nurse must have been like "ummmmmm" and called the parents very concerned like "hello um, odd question, but does your kid have... An ear bone?"
I also wanna say, please don't get discouraged from wearing your beautiful gold earrings - even though you are cool, they really shine on you and they're beautiful! HE ASKED FOR THEM BACK?!!??! That is absolutely insane. No way. It was a gift?! Keep them.
Omg, I had the same thing in grade 2! Fell out while I was drawing on my butterfly project on the floor. Teacher was much confused and treated it just like losing a tooth!
I would love to see more about your Notion templates for projects, tasks, and everything! Also, if you considered another tool such as Obsidian, but then decided to go with Notion instead.
Me, seeing the preview image and thinking this would be a painting video with music or a soft voiceover. Is in fact a lovely painting video paired with a wild story of breast milk allergies and "ear bones" falling out. 10/10
From the beginning of you speaking you described my son, and now I am aware of an issue I wasn’t before: dealing with my son in the future thinking his ear bones fell out.
Literally the first time I have heard of ANYONE but myself getting those tubes put in. One of mine fell out when I was in the grocery store with my mom, the thing looked like a perler bead 😂
I had to get tubes in my ears too. Had 8 surgeries for tumors caused from ear infections. Never met someone who can relate similarly. Crazy that your bone fell out though! Im glad they stopped
Went to website to buy this absolute masterpiece of rabbity art and someone already bought it😭 if I can’t have it then I’m glad someone else will get to enjoy it lol
Scarry anesthesia story time: I had very similar issues regarding ear infections all my childhood. I had tubes put in my ears twice. Once when I was 1.5 yrs and again when I was 3yrs old(after the first ones fell out). I have no memory of the first time but, I remember the surgery I had at 3 very well to this day. My mom prepared me by saying that the doctors would give me some medicine that would make me go to sleep and both my dad and her would be there when I wake up. Being only 3 at the time I didn't fully grasp what surgery was and therefore had zero fear going in. I remember the doctor putting a mask over my nose and mouth then asking me to try to count to 10. I refused to believe this could put me to sleep but sure enough I was out before I reached 6 or 7. The scarry part happened when I woke up. The next thing I remember is hearing the voices of the doctors and nurses. As I slowly became more conscious of my surroundings and situation I began to feel an unbearable, intense, aching sensation in both my ears. It felt like the pain was surrounding my skull. I could feel the surgeon still working on my left ear and at this point I must have made noise because one of the nurses is holding my arms and trying to comfort me. I am scared out of my mind and in exscuciating pain so I just want my mom at this point. I have no clue why she isn't there and why I can't see her. They finish up quick as they can. It takes maybe 7-10 minutes but it feels like an eternity. Once they are done they roll me to a room and one nurse goes to look for my parents while another stays with me. I'm so upset and in so much pain at this point that I begin throwing up repeatedly. I'm having the worst experience of my life upto this point and all I can think is how much I need my mom to be with me. It ends up taking them 45min to track down my parents and the worst part is my parents hadn't left the waiting room they were told to wait in!!!! After an hour of pain, throwing up, and crying out for my mommy we were finally reunited. I assume the anesthesiologist just gave me too small a dose and that is why I woke up too early. My parents were furious when they learned what happened and how long I had been waiting. Other than it being a scary memory I didn't have any bad side affects thankfully. The tubes gave me another 3 or so years without ear infections. One of them didn't fall out on their own though and I had to have it removed when I was about 11.
I was told about the shunts they *_didn't_* put in my ears *constantly* through childhood. But they also stressed all of the foods I wasn't allowed to eat so I wouldn't get the ear infections. I still got them, but it was when my siblings would feed me the forbidden food during holidays 🍪🧁🤤🤕 The "Witch Doctor" my parents took me to, after our pediatrician recommended only surgical fixes for the symptoms, ended up figuring it out with a bizarre food contact and strength test we performed yearly throughout my childhood to determine what I could eat.
I still have a set of tubes in a little case as a show-and-tell from when I was a kid. I had to have several put in over the years, and while they're in, you're not supposed to get water in your ears because it'll go way further into your ears than it should. Even though i haven't had tubes in my ears for years now, I still refuse to dunk my head under water at the pool.
I had chronic ear infections as a kid too and when I was about seven I was on a walk with my dad and I started coughing because something was in my throat. I coughed up what looked like a good sized grayish white rock- like something that shouldn’t have been even in my mouth let alone my sinuses or throat. But there it was and I’m still here.
Hey I had those too as a kid :DDD I had rly bad hearing bc my ears were too full of fluids. I think one of my earliest memories EVER are of them falling out (tho I got them at an age where I remembered what they were). They worked but also gave me chronic eustachian tube dysfunction that I've had for over 10 years 💀💀
I adore “I was loosely tethered to this earth” honey I vibe with that. My body doesn’t want to body. It didn’t come with an internal instruction manual.
