hi everyone we have not posted in a
little bit and we wanted to let you know
why and what was going on i'm doing this
update by myself
and uh i think it was like two years ago
shane did a video without me or most of
it was without me
and i remember there were tons of
comments from people
saying that i must have been out with my
other boyfriend
um and so i just want to get ahead of
the comments that are obviously going to
come in and say that shane is with his
other wife, shane is in the other room
he is resting he is not speaking right
now because of a
complication with his tooth procedure
but he is here
uh shane do you wanna yell and tell them
that you're here
S: No
okay uh well
that was shane's contribution but i'm
gonna let you know what is going on
and what's going on with shane
specifically he even wrote a
a letter to you guys so i'll read that
cause i'm sure it's going to be really interesting
[Music]
thank you to loona for sponsoring this
video i've talked about this before
but i am not very good at falling asleep
doesn't matter how tired i am it seems
that the minute my head hits the pillow
my brain thinks of
a million things to think about and keep me awake
i think about speaking engagements that
we have coming up
i think about emails that i have to send
i think about
emails that i've already sent and i go over them
and see if i said anything that maybe
wasn't as perfect
as it could have been i think about our
to-do list
i plan our grocery list because why not
it's not uncommon for shane to wake me
up at 3am and ask
do we have avocados do we have my
favorite chips
but lately i've been sleeping
wonderfully thanks to the loona app
loona guides you through relaxing interactive
stories to help you calm down and
prepare for sleep the narrator has a
deep calming voice and i often find
myself getting sleepy while shane uses the app
the stories have visuals and soundscapes
as well to trigger feelings of relaxation
my favorite story that i've been using
has been one night in paris
and it just has this indescribable charm
that zonks me right out i love it install the
loona app today on ios or
android and leave all of your stress
behind as you prepare for sleep each
night you can use the link in our description
or scan the qr code that you see right
now to get a seven day free trial
oh look at that everyone just talking
about loona put him right to sleep
all right so we filmed that ad right
around the time that we posted that update video
saying that shane's surgery went really
well and he was recovering fine
and had like basically no pain um but
a couple of days after that maybe like
two days after that
he started having bad tongue pain
um like he got a cut on the side of his
tongue and he had his one week post-op
appointment and
the surgeon looked at it and thought
that it was probably because
you know with the tooth being removed
the tooth
there was a new side of you know his
other tooth that was exposed and it was rough
and that was like cutting his tongue so
he actually had another procedure done
to like shave that down
so it's been a couple of days since he
had that shaving down procedure done
and it seems to be getting worse like
his tongue is bleeding and
really really painful he cannot speak
and we have a big speaking engagement
coming up in a couple of days so we're
really nervous like that's why he's not
speaking is because we're trying
we're hoping that his tongue heals um
with like very limited activity
uh before this speaking engagement
because it would be really terrible to cancel it
um and that's why we're not posting videos
because shane is currently being
basically silent uh to save his tongue
and we're really not sure
like what more we can do for it because
the shaving down thing didn't work so
uh that's about it we really don't know
i guess i'll read his letter now
we should all prepare ourselves for
whatever this is gonna say i'm sure it's
gonna be extremely obnoxious
okay here here this is the...
this is the beginning i imagined
send help hannah is holding me against my will
that's the first line okay hi everyone
shane here as hannah records this i am
probably in the adjacent room
contemplating life
and all of its eternal misery this is
what i have been dealing with for the
past week
if you guys thought i was being a
dramatic baby about needing my teeth pulled
you wouldn't believe how much i'm
milking this tongue sore
i mean to be fair it feels like satan
himself is slicing my tongue
to shreds with a razor blade made from
molten magma
so i deserve at least a little pity
jokes aside the reality is that i'm fine
my mouth just needs time to heal
it's extremely painful to talk and since
talking is such a large part of our career
with speaking engagements virtual
meetings and obviously making videos
i'm doing everything i can to heal up as
fast as possible
hannah has been a wonderful nurse these
past two weeks she reminds me to take
my meds comforts me when the pain is at
its worst and chews my food for me so
that i don't need to bother with that
painful process
nope as i write this i'm realizing that
this form of involvement in our videos
suits me best
i think from now on we'll just have
hannah perform both parts of squirmy and grubs
and now without further ado here is a
steamy scene of shane and hannah kissing
performed by hannah only i'm not doing that
thank you for all the well wishes during
my recovery i'll be back soon until then
please don't forget about me love shaun
he signed his name as shaun so that's
that's shane's message for all of you
i'm sure his tongue will heal up soon
and we'll be back but for now
i'll just go and give him some soup
all right everyone bye
hello everybody hello look at that
i'm back h: your voice
i'm back and i have a haircut
yeah s: so some might even say i'm back
and better than ever h: okay, some
more powerful
wiser h: shane
i used my time of silence to reflect on my abilities, my powers, to harness them
h: oh she's whining s: my dog is whining in the room behind me
life is normal
h: what did you come to realize about your powers and abilities
um that i'm not very good at talking
when my tongue hurts
okay, a weak tongue? s: that's an achilles heel that I have
but we got we got through
our speaking engagement for ibm we were
speaking to all of the employees of ibm like in a bunch of different countries
didn't want to cancel that
yeah it felt important and uh
but your recovery was sort of like a bizarre miraculous recovery
and it isn't now that we know what was wrong
we finally got answers
but we were so confused at first so
shane's tongue was like super painful and then a couple of days into that
his socket started becoming really painful also
i was like great, that's perfect
h: yeah so then he thought he had developed an infection, you know
so he's like oh no like do i have a fever like all this stuff
even though i was on antibiotics
mm hmm because he was like why would my sockets start hurting
like 10 days after the procedure or whatever it was, you know
like the pain was completely gone after like day two and then all of a sudden
it came back a week later s: yeah
disturbing right? s: and it was like real bad the night before
the speaking engagement when we were like what are we gonna do
yeah like it was just getting worse and worse and worse every single day
it was not getting better at all
and then so we were eating dinner, shane was having mashed potatoes
and he's eating dinner and then after dinner he's like oh my god
I was like it doesn't hurt h: my tongue doesn't hurt
nothing hurts s: it's better, yeah
and so he was like i think some mashed potatoes lodged against the sharp tooth or something
like don't don't touch me like we have
to just let the mashed potatoes sit there
till our speech tomorrow and i was like
some people watching just threw up
i know but he was like that has to be it
so we were you know we were like i guess
it's mashed potatoes covering the whole
how can mashed potatoes have been
covering the hole i don't know but it was blissful
yeah i was like dude don't move me it's not hurting
i can sleep tonight yeah i'll be able
yeah, he hadn't been sleeping at all it was really really horrible
so all of a sudden it's like healed and then the next day it was still healed
and i had brushed my teeth and eaten and drank
and i had looked to see if something's there, I didn't see anything at all
it wasn't , shocker, it wasn't mashed potatoes doing anything
there was nothing there
so i was like perplexed like why did it just heal on its own instantly
yeah
so we did our speech whatever i emailed
a dentist friend of mine, guy that helped me out
when i needed this procedure he referred me to the dr patel here who did the surgery
we love dr patel by the way shout out to dr patel
um yeah if you're in the minneapolis or minnesota area and you need teeth removal
or like oral surgery done s: so skilled, so kind, so gentle dr patel
well we'll link that, we'll just put a link in the description where he actually works
because just saying dr patel might not be all the information you need
but anyway um the dentist that referred me to him, i emailed him
and i was like hey i've been having this pain like blah blah blah here's what's been going on
he explained that it's common for you to have bone fragments after a tooth removal
that have to like work their way out
and that can cause tongue pain and socket pain
yeah it was like out and cutting shane's tongue
so i've had a bone fragment ripping up the inside of my mouth for weeks
okay, nope, all exaggerations but then it just popped out in mashed potatoes
and i swallowed it h: worked it out, yeah
so now i have a bone fragment somewhere in my lower intestine
we'll see how that goes, no but i'm feeling a lot better
and feeling relieved h: yes
now i think i'm finally out of the woods h: yeah
fully healed s: sweet
that was a terrible like two weeks s: ridiculous
and we like didn't make any videos so we had so many people messaging us
and emailing and commenting being like is something wrong
i think it was karma because two
days after the procedure h: yeah
i made the video saying i'm fine
like i'm good it was easy and karma was like no no no no
all right well that's what's been going on with us
and shane's miraculous recovery thank god your bone splinter left when it did
they should make a movie about me really
okay well so we'll see you... oh you want to keep going?
what's it called? what's the movie called?
the boy who lived h: okay
and his miraculous journey h: we'll see you next time
s: from darkness to light
oh my god
