Recovering from surgery: avoiding scratches, sleeping elevated, & sharing a weight secret. Plus, Aquaphor saves the day! A journey to self-acceptance. What’s next?
Summary:
The video details the speaker’s post-surgery recovery. She describes a wound on her ear that bled on Christmas morning but was managed with Aquaphor after consulting Dr. Mendlesson (0:21–0:45). She also mentions the challenge of getting the Aquaphor out of her hair (0:58–1:10).
To prevent scratching and potential damage to her healing eye, she humorously suggests wearing a football helmet to bed because she woke herself up twice scratching (2:18–2:39). For sleeping, she continues to sleep on her back, slightly elevated, despite being cleared to sleep on her side, opting for extra caution. She keeps her hair up to avoid rolling over onto short, sparkly hair extensions (2:49–3:18).
Finally, she shares a personal secret about her weight loss journey, revealing that her highest weight was 240 pounds, seven or eight years prior, and her height is 5’6″ (3:41–4:05). This personal journey contributed to her decision to undergo the surgery now, stating that even if she doesn’t lose another pound, she is content with her current state (4:05–4:12).
