Adriana Chechik, from She made headlines earlier this month after she broke her back in two places at TwitchConShe’s back on stream with some updates — and a closer look — at how she’s recovering.
If you haven’t witnessed the incident, Chechik broke her back at TwitchCon after jumping into a foam pit, a seemingly harmless move, thanks to the shallowness of the reported pit. The tailbone smashed to the ground so hard that her “bones were completely shattered,” several vocalizations fused together and she suffered “nerve damage in the [her] bladder”.

Tried sitting today at PT, I’d rather die than do it again. I hate this my whole body hates it. I don’t want to be harsh. I don’t want to be brave, I cried for an hour and the pain is so massive through all the medication. I wonder if I can do that. I can’t explain this pain.
Chechik, now at home after several surgeries – lasting more than five hours – returned to Twitch over the weekend to provide more updates on the injury, its consequences, and how it’s working weeks after the accident.
