I honestly think this was God’s way of making you slow down.. we all know you’re such a busy body and it can be great but it was totally effecting your health! The only way that you were going to slow down is if you were forced to. It sucks that it happened this way, but you are so strong and you’re going to be even stronger because of this! 💛 much love!
Edit: wow totally didn’t expect this to get that many likes! 🤩 glad we can all be here to support Gretchen in this time.
I tore my ACL skiing, and its really hard, but the truth is it makes everything more meaningful. The first time I backpacked and the first time I skied after I tore my ACL were so much better and so much more meaningful. You can come back from this and be stronger for it. Take your time and find the best PT for you. You got this!
At least it happened now has you can recover before the summer so you'll be able to frolic :)
I know exactly how you feel! I tore both of my ACLs (not at the same time!!) playing soccer in high school. It is a long road to recovery, but it WILL be okay! Definitely take physical therapy seriously, it makes SUCH a difference. You definitely are much more appreciative of your legs once everything is over with.
Sometimes it takes something like an injury to make us realize we need to slow down! Something similar happened to me a few years ago - I broke my right foot in two places because I fell down the stairs and it forced me to sloooow down. I couldn’t walk or drive and was forced to take a medical leave from school. I had been super active and worked two jobs and went to school full time so it was a huge adjustment for me, but I looked at it as a small blessing in disguise because I suddenly had free time to catch up on sleep and recharge myself I’m so many ways. 😊 Wishing you a speedy recovery, Gretchen!
Gretchen, I tore mine in 2015 and again in 2018. I’ve had two surgeries on the same knee. This recovery isn’t the easiest but keep your head up, each day you get stronger and you’ll learn to appreciate your body and everything it does so much more. You got this!
aww gretchen WE LOVE YOU
I’ve torn both of mine. I immediately got surgery on the first and waited a couple years to get surgery for my second. Listen to your gut on what to do. Surgery is tough but it might be worth it in the long run! Just do your physical therapy and you’ll come out stronger!!! ❤️❤️ wishing you the best recovery.
Omg the way you said “Hey everyone” was a MAJOR throwback to like your 2015 sit downs!!
Gretchen, I admire your positive outlook on life. I had a career ending sports injury in high school and it completely changed my life. I think these moments make us thankful for our health and young bodies that can fully recover from injuries like this. I hope you get better soon!
Glad you got diagnosed correctly, I walked on mine for a year because they thought I just strained mine. Then an MRI showed it was torn and had to have reconstructive surgery with a 12" scar up the back of my leg. Plus I was 58 at the time. The year made it so much more worse than if they could have fixed it immediately. Praying for a quick recovery for you.
Hey Gretchen! I tore mine 3 years ago and ended up never getting surgery for it because doing so would have probably ended my skating career. 6 months later I was fine and started skating again. Now I’m doing better than ever and it doesn’t hurt me at all! Physio, working out and patience are what helped me! Stay strong and positive and you’ll be able to be active again in no time! :) XX
Hey Gir!! I've torn mine twice and I've had three surgeries! Now I am back running after 3 years and just know you will get through it! Try to stay positive! Love you and your videos so much!!
thank you so much Allison
How are you at the gym? I would’ve been in my bed 24/7.... feel better girlfriend 💞
Feel better Gretchen! Praying that you heal as fast as possible ❤️ getting an injury when you’re so active is the worst, so sorry!
I tore my ACL skiing at the beginning of the season last year. Not being able to ski the rest of the season/work out totally crushed me. The rehab only motivated me to come back stronger than ever. You got this girl
I’ve torn my ACL and got the surgery about two months ago and let me tell you, the best thing possible to do is do the physical therapy and DO NOT rush it. Yes, it takes time but if you start running, jumping, etc. before your doctor says it will be an even longer recovery. I wish the best of luck throughout it and hope you become stronger each and every day.😊
I just finished your last vlog and it kind of left off on a cliff hanger so wow good timing
I just found you on TH-cam and your story is so encouraging. I'm going through my 2nd ACL tear and I am only 15. The first time I tore everything in my knee except my PCL. I am 2 weeks out of surgery on my 2nd and doing so much better. It has definitely changed my life since I play softball. The brace is gonna be the death of me. I know I'm not the only one going through this but it helps to hear someone's elses story. Love your encouraging story ❤
It's a scary thing,but it makes you so much stronger. I tore mine in gymnastics when I was 17 (23now) and it completely changed everything for me. Helped me pick a better college,get rid of fake friends,leave the toxic atmosphere in gymnastics...the last one because I wanted to. I did fully recover and came back for 1 competition because I didn't want to leave on a bad note after almost 13 years,but it wasn't the same anymore mentally. In my recovery I had to start going to the gym 5 months post op to get strong enough so that my knee could deal with all the landings in gymnastics and it was the first time in a long time I actually enjoyed training and wasn't pressured or basically bullied (sadly normal in gymnastics). I don't usually comment but I just wanted to say that it does happen for a reason and most of the time you end up a better and stronger person after that. Now I have a bright future in engineering which I could have never finished had I stayed in gymnastics,new and true friends,a boyfriend that loves me for me and I actually enjoy training in the gym. All because I had to go through a difficult recovery at the worst time,or so I thought back then.
Ana b love thisn
i tore my ACL last year skiing. surgery is very difficult and the recovery wasn’t easy but you are very active and it shouldn’t be too hard for you! you can do it!!
I’ve torn my ACL on one knee 2 times and have had 5 total surgeries on the same knee with multiple involving reconstruction and graphing so when I say you can get through this I know what I’m talking about. Recovering from surgery is hard but so worth it. You will end up coming out of this both physically and mentally stronger because of it. There will be many down days when it feels too tough to handle but it will all work itself out. You got this Gretchen!
Gretchen I am so sorry to hear about you knee!! I tore my acl a few years ago too, and I felt so lonely and in the dark. So I have to say, you have a huge impact on so many people and are in the coolest position to be able to share your story!! You got this and the recovery process with hopefully fly by!!!!
tore my MCL three weeks ago and this video came at the exact moment I needed it to. I've been so frustrated at my inability to do basic things and workout consistently like I used to and your positivity helped to remind me I will get out of this slump eventually. I am truly comforted knowing that you will hopefully share tips and techniques to aid in knee recovery! Thank you for brightening my day!
amazed at how positive you are through all this. praying for a speedy and painless recovery ❤️ don’t you worry about soul cycle or youtube or anything like that... put yourself first and take care of you. we’re all here for you💞
I tore my acl back in October along with my mcl and meniscus. I got surgery in November and I’m still recovering. It’s a very long & hard road to recovery, but you’ll definitely get through it! There will be hard times, but seeing yourself recovering and seeing progress is the best thing ever! The next few months might be hard, but eventually you’ll be fine and back to your normal self. Stay strong, you got this! Also a big tip is that physical therapy is so important! Make sure you go to a physical therapist who will push you to get your strength back! I wish you all the best!
Wishing you a speedy recovery! When I was 16 I got hit by a pick up truck while on a run and broke some ribs and had a bunch of internal injuries, I was bedridden for at least a month. One thing I know for sure is that you learn a lot about yourself by how you handle something like this. It forces you to slow down and gives you more time to think about life. It also shows you who your true friends are because they are the ones who stick by you through the good times and the bad. The ones who only want to be around when you’re doing fun things aren’t the real friends. I went on to train for some half marathons and even did my first full marathon last year, and I think honestly it was the accident that pushed me to do those things. Also When I finally got back into running, I was so out of shape and slow. It was frustrating. But the doctors had told me that my full recovery was possible and much quicker because I was young and in shape. So while I lost a lot of my endurance and muscle tone, it was also that that made recovery faster. I’m sure you will have that experience too since you are young and in shape. It’s easy to feel doomed by an injury especially when you’re someone who loves exercise so much, but you just have to try and keep the perspective and remind yourself that a full recovery is possible. In the meantime, focus your energy on healing, school, friends, and family. (plus you don’t have to give up everything you like doing walking around Boston - you can online shop while resting haha).
Hey Gretchen! I just tore my ACL skiing four weeks ago... I was just like you I went to SoulCycle at least five times a week and I know how it feels to be set back and lose that part of you that made you feel empowered. But trust me i know it sucks now but it’ll be okay
gretchen :( i tore literally everything in my knee about 4 years ago and its definitely hard and really painful, but working hard and being motivated is so important. i go to soulcycle every day and can promise you that soulcycle will still be there in 4-6 months when you get back & will welcome you back with open arms. stay strong my girl, you got this!!!
I have never torn my ACL but I have Hypermobility EDS and my knee caps dislocated. I had to have surgery on both knees 2 times. The recovery for the surgeries are similar. I’m not going to lie it sucks at the beginning but in the long run it feels so much better and your leg feels so much stronger. Praying for you to have a speedy recovery!! ❤️
I tore my ACL on December 1st and just discovered your channel! :) It really gets better i feel fine most of the time and i am waiting to get my surgery now! My boyfriend also tore his 2 years ago and its true that it really helps to have someone close to you who understands what you're going through! Keep being so positive! I swear it makes all the difference :)
Hey Gretchen! I’m not one to normally comment on your videos, although I watch every single one, I felt like this video really hit home for me. I live at the very bottom of Maine and not many people have youtube channels around me, so I’ve always looked up to you! I tore my ACL and LCL May of 2018 playing softball my freshman year of high school. Like you said, to me, it was a complete shock and I was so surprised when my orthopedic doctor told me the news. I had always heard the horror stories of people tearing their ACL’s and the pain they were in immediately after. I wasn’t like that and neither were you. I’m glad to hear you’re ready to take on the journey ahead and it makes me happy to see how strong you are going into surgery. Tearing my acl I would say was 80% physical and 20% mental and It’s great to see you in the right mindset! Although the recovery is long and there will be some set backs, it’s worth it to get back 100% to what you love. Today, I went snowboarding for the first time this year, 8 months after my surgery, and tomorrow, I get my first brace to allow me to play softball again! It’s been a long recovery but in the end it made me stronger in so many ways! I know I’m only 15 and you’re getting multiple comments about other acl stories, but feel free to ask any questions you want or talk to me for any advice. Thank you so much for doing what you do, I look forward to every video you post. -Sending love from Maine 💗
I had a really invasive surgery 2 years ago and I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long! You will get through it and look back and be like Omg glad that’s over 💓 you have a great support system and you’re so positive to start with, keep that spirit up it’ll get you thru it🙏🏼
I love how you’re literally so positive during this time.. typical Gretchen :)
Hey Gretchen, I'm a silent viewer, but thought I'd wish you a quick recovery. I can really sympathize what it's like to have an injury that takes you out of sports/fitness. It's gonna be okay
I’m a little late to this video but i just wanna say when you were talking about everyone tearing their left acl i was so shook because my boyfriend just tore his acl and went through the surgery and it was his left acl too!!! i’m praying that you have a fast and easy recovery. you got this girl!!❤️
I tore my left ACL twice and I definitely can relate to everything you're saying about how your knee feels. I know it seems so scary to get surgery but you're always so smiley and positive that you will get through it with no problem :) surgery, PT, and recovery will definitely make you so mentally tough and it will make you realize you can get through things you had no idea was coming your way. The beginning is a challenge but it is nothing you can't overcome. all of your family, friends, and viewers are here supporting you and helping you come out stronger than ever !!
Just wanted to join the club of having a torn left ACL! But on a serious note, please know that a majority of this recovery is mental, and you seem to be in a good head space right now. It's going to be hard to trust your knee again, but you will! The recovery time is long, and the physical therapy can be a challenge, but you can do it! Like I mentioned, keep up the positive spirits and good attitude. From what I can tell, you have a very good head on your shoulders and that will get you a very long way. Love you!
Hey!! Ive loved watching your videos for a while now and I recently tore my left acl and had my surgery a little over a month ago. I wanted to let you know that it will be a very hard process but going through it makes you a stronger person!! I’m a senior in high school in CT and love my body so much more now. I think you are an amazing, uplifting, and inspiring person and I rly hope ur recovery is good :) I love you arlin, emma, and maggie so much! You remind me so much of myself (if that isn’t weird lol) but now that you are going through this same journey as me, at the same time, it makes u even more of an inspiration.
Hey sis! Sorry to hear about your acl I tore my mine 4 years ago so I know exactly what you’re feeling but you will definitely make a full recovery I’m back to running half marathons and it doesn’t even bother me anymore. It made me appreciate how lucky I am to be able to walk now and be healthy again so with the mindset that you have you’ll get through this and come out stronger on the other side ❤️ thinking of you!
I’m so happy you’re in good spirits, Gretchen! Your positive attitude even in difficult situations like this is so admirable - feel better!
tore my a year & a half ago. i totally understand the mental toll that comes with an acl tear. i wish you a strong recovery. ♥️
though I have never been through tearing my ACL thank God, I've had a pretty rough time with hip injuries and bad shin splints from field hockey and track and field ... its frustrating and hard, but with your positivity, you WILL get through it!!! Your optimism is so inspiring, I'm praying you have a speedy recovery. Keep being awesome. xx ✨♡
Hey Gretchen! I tore my ACL about two years ago tomorrow actually. It is not fun, but I came out of the recovery process a completely different person. I am so grateful for having a healthy knee now that I can use to workout and push myself. Post surgery can be really tough mentally, but I know your positivity and the amazing people around you will help you prosper. I am always here if you want to talk! Hang in there, even though it's not the best thing, it all happens for a reason. I am so glad I tore my ACL because I am so much stronger mentally and am so thankful for the ability to walk, run and even bend me knee to full rotation(lol). And I bet you'll be so much more thankful for Soul Cycle when you get back on that grind!!
Awww Gretchen! This literally broke my heart to watch! I tore my acl a little over two years ago so I feel your pain. Surgery and PT is definitely hard to go through, but if anyone can do it...it's you! Stay positive and try to get as strong as possible before surgery because it really helps in the recovery process. I know you'll be back doing Soul Cycle in no time, and it'll make your workouts so much more meaningful especially after an injury like this. Stay strong and I'm praying for you sis!
You poor little babe. Wishing you a speedy recovery xx
I’ve torn my ACL twice and while it does suck, it really shows how strong you are as a person when you can push through it!! Keep your positivity going throughout your journey 💛
Awww I’m sorry to hear that Gretchen! I hope you feel better and you have a speedy recovery process. I love how positive you always are :)
Tore me ACL 2 weeks before starting my senior season of college soccer! Now I’m 6 months post surgery and it’s definietly been hard but having the support like you do will make it all that much easier! Stay positive and laugh at yourself during the hard times!
I tore my ACL in basketball and it’s truly so painful, so I feel for you. You’re so strong though!! Keep your head up, we love you
hey gretchen! first off - you've got this, you've got this, YOUVE GOT THIS! honestly, if anyone can handle it, it's you! also, who better to be in your life for this rough patch than max?! talk about perfect timing girl! i'm so proud of you already because i know you're gonna kill it and come back from this stronger than ever! xo
I tore mine playing volleyball in hs so I know the struggles, but you are so fit and active I know you'll recover like a champ! Do not get discouraged!
Please feel better Gretchen! Don’t stress about your content, focus on feeling/getting better! Wish you the best of luck in your recovery and hope to see many updates!! I’m sure most of us would be so happy just seeing daily vlogs and you going to appointments and videos on your recovery! We are here for you girl!💕💕💛
Gretchen I am so sorry 💓 I tore my left acl a few years ago and got my surgery in Boston. You’re surrounded by the best doctors in the world. Wishing you a speedy recovery 💗
stop i just finished this and i am in tears ughhhh. GOOD NEWS at like 3 weeks post op i could ride a bike (and the surgeon recommended it) and said it was good for my knee! you are so strong, stronger than you know and god does have a plan for you!!!!
oh sis, I'm so sorry. I tore a lot of things in my knee, including my ACL three years ago and there's no way to describe to people the absolute distraught it can bring. BUT - you are SO incredibly strong physically and mentally which will make your rehab an absolute breeze. I am now an athletic trainer and get to take athletes from their diagnosis all the way through their return to play and the one thing that EVERY SINGLE ONE of them will tell you is "I came back stronger"....and you will too! In every way!! Sending all my love and good thoughts!
Aww feel better mushie!! I love you and your videos so much and one of my favorite things in the whole wide world is rewatching your old videos when I’m sad or even when I’m just chillin. So thankful for you and wishing you a speedy recovery!
Having you on podium when you're all healed is gonna be so powerful to see
Injuries, especially when they require surgery can feel so debilitating. Keep on smiling through it, remaining positive and before you know it you’ll be frolicking your way across Europe & galavanting around Boston in no time 💛
Get better soon girlie! You are so strong and you will be back on your feet in no time.
I'm so sorry Gretchen! You're so strong and will be healed in no time!
omg gretchen i am so sorry girl, i am so sad this happened to you :( i totally feel you.. i tore my acl and meniscus playing soccer and not going to lie, the surgery was a little rough... definitely do patellar tendon because i've heard of multiple people retairing with using hamstring.. you will come back with a stronger knee and will be so shocked.. i will definitely keep you in my prayers, my heart breaks for you because i know exactly what it feels like but you are so strong and amazing and will get through this with ease.. love u gretchen xo
I got the same exact surgery! They replaced my acl completely and its been doing really good
Babe I’ve torn my ACL - get patellar tendon graft surgery it’s the best my knee is stronger than ever!! After surgery all I did was spin your gonna be back in no time babe💙 I love you so much! You are so strong babe!!
Ugh girl!!! I wish you the quickest recovery, I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you. Love you!!! 💖
I tore my left ACL 10 months ago and had surgery...I’m still in PT but I have been doing super good and was definitely super emotional and in denial about tearing mine as well. But you will get through this and be super active again! You got this!
OMG GRETCHEN IM SO SORRY! Stay strong!! I hope you feel better soon it’s tough but you got this
My story is so similar, luckily there are a ton of people who have been through it. The recovery is not fun but it'll fly💛 good luck, keep us updated!!
I tore my ACL too. Honestly if I could go back and change that I wouldn’t. It something I went through and it builds character! You got it!!!🥰
Praying for you Gretchen. You’re so strong. We love you!!!
Awww I'm so sorry! I have torn my ACL 3 times and it is really hard and totally ok to be upset. You will get through it and you will be able to do a lot more than you think!
I tore my ACL, meniscus, and MCL 4 years ago playing soccer (couldn't put pressure on my leg for 3 months after surgery) and truly the recovery process FLEW by! Think of PT as your temporary fill in for soul cycle! You're positive and you got this! XX you'll be back in no time
I am so sorry Gretchen! I feel like everyone could use a little more of your positive outlook on life!
I tore my ACL Friday and your videos have been so comforting. Thank you for everything you do 🧡
I tore my ACL and meniscus skiing almost a year ago! I had surgery over the summer and SoulCycle was a great addition to my physical therapy. I would just go in the back row and do the class sitting (still hard if you make it) I totally get you I could never give Soul up! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
anyone looking to ski and afraid it’s the greatest joy in my life and i highly recommend it, but be safe! warm up your legs first, of course bad injuries happen to warmed up athletes anyway but it does help! also, and here’s the big one, but adjust the DIN setting to a lower number. i’m a racer and have a very high did (12+) but beginners should have it very low like 2-5 depending on height/weight. this makes the ski pop off easier which is what causes so many of the ACL injuries.
Gretchen this totally made me feel so much better! I tore my left acl a few weeks ago skiing. I have surgery tomorrow. You're my fave TH-camr ugh I love you.
Gretchen I love how positive you are about this! hope you recover soon!
YOU are literally SUCH A ROCKSTAR. wow. Inspiring, confident, honest and genuine. Sending love ❤️
this breaks my heart :( sending you so much love. ily
I tore my ACL and MCL playing soccer, my advice to you is to take the rehab seriously. I didn’t and I still suffer from knee problems
I hope things get better for you I tore mine playing soccer too but kept playing and tore it completely as well as my miniscus:( had a long recovery but its still so hard to run for me. Wish the best for you
blueorchid 19 same to you 💕
gretchen, love how you radiate so much positivity! you're gonna change the world with your kindness
I tore my ACL twice within the span of 3 years and my knee and my legs in general are so much stronger! Staying positive helped me so much so you won't have any problems getting through it! love and praying for you
Aww Gretchen I'm so happy that you're being optimistic about this whole situation. Because you mentally believe you'll be fine, your body will manifest that belief physically and you will have a speedy recovery. I know you have lots of loving people around you but just know that your subscribers love you just as much and that our blessings are always with you. You know there's light at the end of the tunnel so promise yourself to wait for it patiently. Setbacks are a part of life and they make you cherish the little things even more. Take care sweetie, I hope (and know) that you get well soon! As for your videos, I would love watching you recover just as much as I love watching you go on adventures.
Gretchen you are so strong! You’re such a role model and you will get through this! Love you ❤️
I tore MY left ACL skiing too omg!!! wishing you a quick recovery!!
Oml this is why I never go skiing or snowboarding. I’ve always wanted to just to try it but I’ve heard way too many stories ab friends tearing their ACL’s or getting a concussion 🤦🏽♀️
Feel better Gretchen! We are all thinking of you during this hard time. We all still support you girly!!
Girl, I hope you have a speedy recovery. I ruptured my left ACL a few years ago and had 3 surgeries. It was tough but the experience definitely made me a stronger person! You got this! Your positivity is really inspirational❤️❤️❤️
I tore mine playing soccer and it ended up costing me my full ride. However, whenever I look back I learned soo many things about myself and it helped me realize what I truly wanted to get a degree in (PT) and kind of kicked me into a totally new aspect of life I never would have known if I hadn't gone through it! It is a very hard surgery to recover from mentally and physically but like you said.. A year from now it'll be old news.. These next few months going through rehab are just a blip on the big picture of life! I'll be praying for you!
keep doing vlogs!! PLESASE !! love you girl! God definitely has a plan for your life and this is it, and this is another reason why Max is in your life!! Best support!
I just had my acl surgery six weeks ago! I had a hard time having my career being stripped away from me being a soccer player in college. It sucks recovering I am barely just now able to squat and do everyday things that were so normal to me two months ago. It is going to take a lot of time and a lot of physical therapy, which sucks but it is being done for a reason. You will get through this girl!!!!!!
Praying for you! You ARE blessed and lucky to have your friends for support who’ve gone through the same thing.. and WE are blessed and lucky to have YOU to share your journey with us. You’re not only going to help and support your subscribers who are/will be going through this, but you’re truly an inspiration to people like me who can tend to be negative about a lot of things in life and you show us how to look at the positives in tough situations that are thrown at us. We love you and hope you have a fast recovery! ❤️
Awe Gretchen! We’re all praying for you girl! I hope your recovery goes the best ever
I tore mine about 10 months ago! i got surgery 9 months ago and i’m doing great now! it hurt so much, but it honestly flew by and my friends and family helped me out so much. you will get through this!!
I just tore mine in the fall, and the process was hard but I recently started running and working out fully again and the feeling is unbeatable, hope your recovery goes well!
Hi so this may seem unrelated, but I just wanted to say thank you for making this video because weirdly enough it’s exactly what I need to see right now. A few weeks ago I started recovery for an eating disorder I’ve been dealing with for awhile, and I’m not allowed to workout at all which has been so hard for me to accept. Especially with all my friends talking about going to the gym every day, it’s been really really tough to know that I can’t. Just wanted to say thanks for making me feel less alone and showing me I should have a positive outlook on the situation :) we’ll be back and better than ever before we know it (hopefully lol)❤️ feel better love!!
Way to turn a sucky situation into something good, Gretchen! Your positivity is seriously admirable. Prayers for you and a healthy recovery. ♥️
aw I’m so sorry!!! I tore both my acls and recovery is hard mentally and physically but if I can do it you can too!! ❤️ best of luck to youu!!
You're the most optimistic person. I hope you start feeling better!!
I didn't think your injury would be that serious 😭😭😭😭 praying for you girl!!! ❤️❤️❤️
damn girl. just finished the vlog. hope your recovery goes well! don't push yourself too hard and remember how surrounded you are by people who love and support you!
It would be fun to see more cooking videos as well as rehab updates etc.
