2019-10-02 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 8 min
Chantal checks in the night before a scheduled total abdominal hysterectomy for large borderline ovarian tumours, describes how she's feeling and recent INR/blood-thinner management, explains pre-op shower instructions (chlorhexidine wash), and shows what she's packing in her overnight/hospital bag — toiletries, protein shakes, comfort clothes and slippers, CPAP supplies, reading material, and personal items. She intends to document the surgery and follow up after recovery. A pet named Sam appears briefly.
