The Twitch streamer WoWGrandma78 is obviously tough. Just because she unfortunately broke her wrist, doesn’t mean she has to stop healing high Mythic Plus dungeons in World of Warcraft.
Who is it about? Behind the Twitch name WowGrandma78 is an 83-year-old player who has loved streaming World of Warcraft regularly for the past 5 years and getting to know a variety of people around the world.
Both – streaming and playing WoW – are being done with considerable success. Her channel on Twitch currently has 142,599 followers. In World of Warcraft, she successfully heals high-level dungeons with her 3 (!) night elf druids – her highest Mythic score is 3,113.
Who needs 2 hands to heal dungeons?
What happened to WowGrandma78? On November 1, 2025, the likable player returned to X after several days off:
October: The cat ran out and I ran after it. When I wanted to pick it up, it jerked and I broke my wrist. The operation was on the 24th. A week off, wow, but tonight I healed two 10s, one 11, and one 12 with one hand. We completed all of them in time. Unfortunately, I can’t tackle my 14s right now.
For all non-WoW players: Despite her injury and the operation, the player ventured with just one hand into one of the endgame areas of World of Warcraft (the so-called Mythic Plus dungeons) to successfully heal groups at high difficulty levels with her druid.
How does the community react to this achievement? Under the post on X, many people wish the WoW grandma a speedy recovery. Moreover, many commentators pay respect to this achievement.
- Fred… writes on X something like: “What. A. Gamer.”
- Amy Faith adds on X: “Absolute legend.”
- Rax on rax speaks to many on X: “I wish you a quick recovery. Enjoy the game as best you can and take your time for recovery.”
- GBugden can’t believe it on X: “You can still heal Mythics? You are clearly too strong.”
By the way, WowGrandma78 has already successfully mastered some 14s. Where do you currently stand in the Mythic Plus area of WoW? Share it in the comments!
