2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:06,170
this past year has been pretty busy.
3
00:00:06,170 --> 00:00:08,370
Jen: we moved to St. Petersburg, Florida.
4
00:00:10,770 --> 00:00:12,770
oh, gosh.
5
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:14,110
life is always crazy.
6
00:00:14,110 --> 00:00:15,480
you know, we have a lot going on.
7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,980
stir and stir and stir and stir and stir!
8
00:00:17,980 --> 00:00:20,680
Will and Zoey are having a blast with their new school.
9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,320
teacher: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,250
Zoey is in dance. Will is in cub scouts.
11
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:27,890
and what rank are you?
12
00:00:27,890 --> 00:00:28,990

13
00:00:28,990 --> 00:00:30,560

hey, no screaming.
17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,910
poop?
18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,720
the horses are stinky. they poop.
19
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:02,260
Bill: the biggest challenge ahead of us
20
00:01:02,260 --> 00:01:04,860
is Jen's hip-replacement surgery.
21
00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:08,260
her hip is so dangerously close to just failing.
22
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:09,800
is your hip going to explode?
23
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,900
like, break, fall out, like, dislodge.
24
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:15,000
knowing all the risks, and you have surgeries,
25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,470
sometimes you just kind of think, "wow," you know?
26
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:19,410
"okay, this is number 35," is...
27
00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:23,910
you know, how many times am i going to come out of these okay?
28
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:25,280
all i do is worry.
29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,680
i know.
30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,150
i'm nervous. i just want to make it out the other side.
31
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:33,320
today, i am having surgery in manhattan.
32
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:34,960
good luck. i'll see you in a few hours.
33
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,020
-thanks. -okay.
34
00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:37,620
i love you very much. take care of the kids.
35
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:38,930
i Will.
36
00:01:38,930 --> 00:01:42,730
there's just so many times we can be lucky and blessed.
37
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:44,730
Bill: i don't know if i'd ever be able to recover
38
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:47,270
from losing my spouse, so when you think about that,
39
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:50,940
that worst-case scenario, it puts you in a bad place.

55
00:02:39,390 --> 00:02:40,690
Zoey just turned 7.
56
00:02:40,690 --> 00:02:42,860
she's growing at a pretty aggressive pace.
57
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:46,830
a few more inches, and she's as tall as mom, so look out.
58
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:50,060
so things are just taking off quite, quite splendidly.
59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,100
-no, no sandwich! -yeah!
60
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:57,200
-sandwich! -yeah!
61
00:02:57,210 --> 00:03:00,440
no, you'll hurt daddy. you'll hurt daddy, guys.
62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,040
all right. Zoey, get down.
63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,610
all right. sandwich is done.
64
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:05,650
one of the big things that we're doing this
65
00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:09,520
christmas holiday, though, is not really fun.
66
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,450
Jennifer needs hip-replacement surgery.
67
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:17,790
the doctor said catastrophic event could occur at any time
68
00:03:17,790 --> 00:03:20,430
because her hip is so dangerously close
69
00:03:20,430 --> 00:03:22,660
to just failing.
70
00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:25,600
turns out that as i had my hip replacements now,
71
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,830
you know, a little over 17 years ago,
72
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,470
that the right is, you know, failing,
73
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:34,680
and so the lining of the plastic between the, you know,
74
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,840
sort of the ball and socket is completely gone,
75
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:40,180
and the hip itself has dislodged to the edge of the joint,
76
00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:43,120
so what the doctor means is that at any moment, who knows?
77
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,150
it could just kind of come apart, fall out or break,
78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,720
so i've got to go get it replaced
79
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,830
and hopefully not have that happen before we get it fixed.
80
00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:56,200
when she pulls on this, it pulls the track apart.
81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,430
it's really hard to keep this track together because it's old.
82
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040
so we're going to spend a couple of days in new york
83
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,300
before mommy has to go do that stuff,
84
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:05,740
and we're going to have fun,
85
00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:08,310
and then we're coming back just before christmas.
86
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:10,310
hey, so do you guys know what we're going to do today?
87
00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:11,580
no.
88
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:14,480
we are going to meet aunt barbara and uncle jack
89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,420

yay, yay, yay!
93
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:22,820
it's really great to be here in St. Petersburg.
94
00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:23,960
we've got family here.
95
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,830
my aunt and uncle are still here,
96
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:27,630
and for many of the years,
97
00:04:27,630 --> 00:04:30,300
we lived far away from almost all of our family,
98
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:32,330
so this means a lot for both of us.
99
00:04:32,330 --> 00:04:34,800
it's not only where i was born and practically raised,
100
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,240
but it's also where Bill and i,
101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,610
you know, started our life together.

Bill: you know, christmas from our perspective,
118
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,900
it's a little nostalgic.
119
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,200

128

so it's kind of neat to be able to share that with my kids now.

but for me, i think how i deal with it is,

00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,230
to see aunt barbara and uncle jack.
180
00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:22,660
hey!
181
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:24,130
-hey, how are you? -oh, what's that?
182
00:08:24,130 --> 00:08:25,970
good to see you. what's going on?
183
00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:28,500
-i know. hey, jack! -how's it going?
184
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,040
good to see you.
185
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,110
Jen: my aunt barbara has been very close
186
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:34,010
to my brother and i growing up.
187
00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:35,340
my mom sort of had a lot of support
188
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:37,480
between her mom and her two sisters.
189
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,750
i mean, we were just a very tight-knit, close family,
190
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:42,720
so i've remained close to my aunt barbara ever since.
191
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,620
she's been there through a lot of these surgeries.
192
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:46,950
she's, you know, seen me go through this a lot,
193
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,060
and i know that she'll be around,
194
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:51,760
you know, for whatever i need.
195
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,260
let's see here. what would you like?
196
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,740
cotton candy with skittles in a milkshake, is that possible?
197
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:03,870
sure. yeah, that's fine.
198
00:09:03,870 --> 00:09:06,240
-okay. -Zoey: and, daddy, daddy.
199
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,710
sounds horrible.
200
00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:10,340
daddy, i want mint chocolate chip.
201
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:13,010
mint chocolate chip? in a shake?
202
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:15,820
yeah, mint chocolate chip, the milkshake, and...
203
00:09:15,820 --> 00:09:17,750
-the milkshake. -and put it in the cup.
204
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,720
chocolate and chocolate-chip milkshake
205
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,990
and chocolate-and-peanut butter ice cream.
206
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,530
-peanut butter? -hey!
207
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:31,970
-maggie! -hey, Zoey?
208
00:09:31,970 --> 00:09:33,930
we cannot let the dogs go over to other people.
209
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:35,740
barbara: you just got to keep her close to you,
210
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:37,170
so she doesn't bother people.
211
00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:39,940
that's all. apprehensive? or...
212
00:09:39,940 --> 00:09:42,810
of course i'm a little nervous, but not much i can do about it.
213
00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:44,610
i don't have much choice.
214
00:09:44,610 --> 00:09:46,450
and your mom is going to be with you, and you guys
215
00:09:46,450 --> 00:09:47,880
kind of have this down pat?
216
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,580
it's been many years. it's been, what, 17?
217
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:51,590
yeah, but, you know, forget that.
218
00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:53,990
hip surgery, so it's been a while, right?
219
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:55,760
you know, it's scary. i worry.
220
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,290
you don't like talking about it, but...
221
00:09:57,290 --> 00:09:58,360
-i know. -in a way,
222
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,960
i'm so grateful to have this technology.
223
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:01,330
-i know. -you know?
224
00:10:01,330 --> 00:10:02,900
because you've got a little, tiny hip,
225
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:05,930
and you've somebody can form that hip just to you.
226
00:10:05,930 --> 00:10:07,430
your mother told me the doctor
227
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,370
can't believe that you're upright.
228
00:10:09,370 --> 00:10:11,970
he didn't say that, but he just is worried
229
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:14,370
that i could have a catastrophic event at any moment.
230
00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:15,810
what does he mean by catastrophic event?
231
00:10:15,810 --> 00:10:17,280
is your hip going to explode?
232
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,210
like, break, fall out, like, dislodge.
233
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:24,220
Bill: like, the whole thing just kind of dismantles.
234
00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:25,990
Bill: you have to remember that Jennifer and i
235
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:28,390
both have been through multiple surgeries
236
00:10:28,390 --> 00:10:31,790
because skeletal dysplasia, it's a skeletal deformity.
237
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:33,730
there is chronic discomfort and pain
238
00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:35,530
that's normally associated with a problem
239
00:10:35,530 --> 00:10:37,330
with the way that you grow.
240
00:10:37,330 --> 00:10:39,170
if you had a tree, and you had to keep
241
00:10:39,170 --> 00:10:40,600
changing the way it grows
242
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,370
so that it continued to grow straight,
243
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:45,140
that's sort of what you need to do with all of our bones.
244
00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:48,310
being short is actually the least of the problems
245
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:50,710
associated with having skeletal dysplasia,
246
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:55,180
but the reality is, is that it's, you know, it's torture.
247
00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:57,020
-all i do is worry. -yeah, i know.
248
00:10:57,020 --> 00:10:58,520
now are they going to bring you home
249
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,820
and let you have a wheelchair,
250
00:10:59,820 --> 00:11:01,620
or are you just supposed to be walking around?
251
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:03,160
probably crutches for at least...
252
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,720
-oh, definitely crutches... -...6 weeks.
253
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:07,560
-...if not a walker. -yeah, i might be on a walker.
254
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:10,460
Jen: after surgery, they Will start physical therapy on me
255
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:14,000
for at least 6 weeks with a walker to start,
256
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,470
and then, you know, hopefully, i'll get to master crutches
257
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:18,710
until i'm all done with the healing process.
258
00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:20,070
so you won't work for 6 weeks?
259
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,610
no, i probably Will go back to work.
260
00:11:21,610 --> 00:11:23,140
it'd just be limited.
261
00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:27,410
Bill: yeah.
262
00:11:28,850 --> 00:11:30,150
dogs aren't going to come to new york.
263
00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:31,520
that's why we're here.
264
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,620
we're going to give the dogs to aunt barbara and uncle jack
265
00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:36,690
for a week because we're not going to be able to watch them.
266
00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:38,560
no. they're coming back to my house.
267
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:42,800
to meet you, to pick up the dogs.
268
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,030
because we wanted ice cream.
269
00:12:13,630 --> 00:12:15,130
no.
270
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,200
no, no, no.
271
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,500
-what does he want for dinner? -he wants to eat here.
272
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,540
(laughter)
273
00:12:26,410 --> 00:12:27,970
i definitely don't like surgery.
274
00:12:27,980 --> 00:12:30,510
i definitely don't want to do this, but the good news is,
275
00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:32,250
we're going to plan a day of fun before.
276
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,580
yeah, you can go.
277
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:39,120
so no surgery yet, just family time in manhattan.
278
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,890
(indistinct conversations)
279
00:12:40,890 --> 00:12:42,990
who's going to get your glasses?
280
00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:45,090
oh, i don't know. do i have to loosen them?
281
00:12:45,090 --> 00:12:46,390
pretty soon.
282
00:12:46,390 --> 00:12:49,400
going under the knife, it gets worse every single time.
283
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,660
i'm a high-risk patient,
284
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:52,730
so it was very hard to not have anxiety.
285
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:54,330
-ready? -ready.
286
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:57,400
she goes through so, so much.
287
00:12:57,410 --> 00:13:00,110
there's just so many times we can be lucky.
288
00:13:00,110 --> 00:13:02,340
-love you, love you. -i love you.
289
00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:13,690
♪
290
00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:16,420
carry those down for me, and i'm going to put them in my bag.
291
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:18,730
-okay, i'm leaving. -all right.
292
00:13:18,730 --> 00:13:21,330
well, we don't know where dad is. Bill?
293
00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:23,260
all right. we've got to turn off --
294
00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:24,530
i've got to turn off -- wait.
295
00:13:24,530 --> 00:13:25,770
i've got to turn off more lights.
296
00:13:25,770 --> 00:13:26,970
barbara: oh, wait, we can't go.
297
00:13:29,070 --> 00:13:32,070
Jen: today is the day that we have to leave for new york,
298
00:13:32,070 --> 00:13:34,310
and i don't have a lot of time to finish packing
299
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:38,080
and make sure we get everybody to the airport on time.
300
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,310
wrong way. wrong way, sam.
301
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,150
other way, other way. -turning out the lights.
302
00:13:43,150 --> 00:13:45,050
you know, it's kind of crazy and particularly
303
00:13:45,050 --> 00:13:47,320
with my going to have surgery.
304
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,060
i've been a patient all of my life,
305
00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:52,390
and it never gets any easier.
306
00:13:52,390 --> 00:13:53,860
i'm nervous.
307
00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:56,600
of course i'm worried about most of the complications of surgery,
308
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,870
you know, so risk of infection, the risk of bleeding,
309
00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:01,670
the risk of death.
310
00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:04,300
you know, i mean, all these things are there.
311
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:05,940
bad things can happen at any time,
312
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:08,340
so you have to be prepared for that.
313
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,880
what's in your mouth?
314
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,880
candy? -we've had lots of sugar.
315
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,720
yeah, not good.
316
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,280
just so you know.
317
00:14:18,290 --> 00:14:19,650
not good.
318
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:23,120
Bill: to aid in our adventure, we decided to bring judy,
319
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,260
Jen's mom, and kate, our nanny, along for the ride to help out.
320
00:14:27,260 --> 00:14:28,900
mom, can you help me with these?
321
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:30,760
i can help you with ever you need.
322
00:14:30,770 --> 00:14:33,330
-all this glittery... -no more christmas.
323
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:35,340
we'll be back, hopefully.
324
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:37,400
hopefully, i'll be back.
325
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:41,010
you'll be back. don't even think that.
326
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:43,010
my daughter has had over 30 surgeries.
327
00:14:43,010 --> 00:14:44,840
it started when she was 2.
328
00:14:46,450 --> 00:14:49,380
orthopedic surgeries are not easy --
329
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:52,790
a longer recovery time, a lot, a lot of pain
330
00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:55,490
because you're cutting through the muscle and the bone,
331
00:14:55,490 --> 00:14:59,590
and i pray that my grandchildren don't have to go through that.
332
00:14:59,590 --> 00:15:02,200
you know, they may have to, and i'll be there for them,
333
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,030
but i hope and pray that
334
00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:09,370
they'll have a much easier youth.
335
00:15:09,370 --> 00:15:10,940
all right. what are they doing?
336
00:15:10,940 --> 00:15:12,610
i have no idea.
337
00:15:12,610 --> 00:15:15,040
go get them, you're the dad.
338
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,740
-yo! -thank you.
339
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:18,380
let's go!
340
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:20,310
Bill: you know, Jen's surgery aside,
341
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,550
i'm kind of excited because as a new yorker,
342
00:15:23,550 --> 00:15:26,990
a proud new yorker, i love christmastime in new york.
343
00:15:26,990 --> 00:15:28,890
it's -- there is no other place
344
00:15:28,890 --> 00:15:32,260
that you can be that makes it feel that way.
345
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:38,200
oh, of course.
346
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,430
i'm going to take that with me.
347
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:40,830
-oh, okay. -whee!
348
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,140
time to leave for the airport, my app is telling me.
349
00:15:46,010 --> 00:15:49,510
Bill: packing up and leaving, i certainly feel for Jen.
350
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:53,450
-car is all ready, dude. -all right.
351
00:15:53,450 --> 00:15:55,680
i've been in her position so many times.
352
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,150
i know what that anxiety is like.
353
00:15:57,150 --> 00:15:58,620
your heart starts to sink.
354
00:15:58,620 --> 00:16:00,190
your stomach starts to growl,
355
00:16:00,190 --> 00:16:03,220
and for Jennifer in particular because she got two kids.
356
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:05,390
she's got a spouse. she's got a big job.
357
00:16:05,390 --> 00:16:07,390
she's got a lot of people that depend on her,
358
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,000
and she's made it so far through all these surgeries.
359
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
you know, it's so much more stressful.
360
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,770
Bill: yeah?
361
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:21,940
isn't santa claus coming?
362
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:26,010
i think you need to write it down and mail it to santa soon.
363
00:16:26,010 --> 00:16:28,380
Jen: you know, my family growing up, our tradition
364
00:16:28,380 --> 00:16:30,980
was always to do something fun the night before surgery.
365
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:33,190
judy: mommy, tomorrow is your fun day.
366
00:16:33,190 --> 00:16:34,850
-tomorrow is my day of fun. -yeah.
367
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:37,690
so tomorrow morning, we're going to do what most, i think,
368
00:16:37,690 --> 00:16:39,730
tourists do when they're in new york around christmastime
369
00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:41,390
and, you know, do a little shopping,
370
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,330
so we're taking the kids to f.a.o. schwarz,
371
00:16:43,330 --> 00:16:44,760
which i'm very excited about.
372
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:47,800
it's such a classic place to go to.
373
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:54,540
you're not, but mommy is.
374
00:16:54,540 --> 00:16:56,580
mm-hmm.
375
00:16:56,580 --> 00:16:58,410
just like you did when you had surgery.
376
00:17:02,750 --> 00:17:05,450
depends on until the doctor says i'm ready to go home.
377
00:17:05,450 --> 00:17:08,190
i'm having a big operation, so...
378
00:17:10,790 --> 00:17:13,530
judy: when you see your child go into surgery,
379
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:18,700
it's...it's hard sometimes
380
00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:21,400
to think about how many times
381
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,470
i put my daughter through all this.
382
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,710
she remembers all the pain,
383
00:17:31,710 --> 00:17:35,080
and i'm sure Jen is concerned about going into surgery.
384
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,220
she's a mother. she's a physician.
385
00:17:38,220 --> 00:17:41,820
she knows what could happen more than so than anybody,
386
00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:43,490
you know, as far as the doctors go.
387
00:17:43,490 --> 00:17:46,390
she knows what could happen.
388
00:17:46,390 --> 00:17:50,430
with the new prosthetic device is a higher risk of clots
389
00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:52,470
than it is with other surgeries, per se.
390
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:53,530
why?
391
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:55,000
because it's a new instrumentation.
392
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,600
the one that they're using on you?
393
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,840
just in general.
394
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,340
Jen: i'm very grateful for my mom.
395
00:17:59,340 --> 00:18:01,740
i'm overwhelmed when i think about the strength
396
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:03,780
that she had to have dealing with all those surgeries
397
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,880
because she knew it was risky,
398
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,480
and she had to, you know, lose control for some time
399
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,520
and now with getting to the airport,
400
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,090
being in the car with everybody definitely makes it more real,
401
00:18:15,090 --> 00:18:17,890
and i'm sure she's like me, a little bit too thinking,
402
00:18:17,890 --> 00:18:20,590
"well, okay, hopefully we get lucky again." you know?
403
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,800
how many times can you, you know,
404
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,730
do well if you have had so many surgeries?
405
00:18:24,730 --> 00:18:26,500
you start to feel like the odds might start
406
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:28,330
to turn out of your favor.
407
00:18:28,340 --> 00:18:29,570
-wait, wait. -wait a minute.
408
00:18:29,570 --> 00:18:31,140
judy: we have to check in, don't we?
409
00:18:32,670 --> 00:18:34,340
we have a lot of bags to check in, yep!
410
00:18:34,340 --> 00:18:35,840
but at the same time, you know,
411
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,810
i think you've got to focus on the positive, you know?
412
00:18:38,810 --> 00:18:42,010
hope for the best, plan for the worst but hope for the best.
413
00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:43,750
do we have all the bags? -yeah.
414
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:44,980
-mine too? -yep.
415
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:46,290
okay.
416
00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:48,220
well, maybe not yours but everybody else's.
417
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:49,660

Bill: i want you to get out,

and i want you to stand right by the box there.
423
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:13,480
Jen: go ahead, kate, because Zoey can help...
424
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,380
Jen: we're in new york city,
425
00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:17,580
and it's the day before my surgery tomorrow.
426
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:18,820
i definitely don't like surgery.
427
00:19:18,820 --> 00:19:21,820
i definitely don't want to do this.
428
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:25,360
i'm nervous about it, but i have a hip that's failing,
429
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,390
so i really have no choice.
430
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,800
right now my goal is to push it out of my brain.
431
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,660
you know, the good news is we're going to plan
432
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:32,970
a day of fun before,
433
00:19:32,970 --> 00:19:35,170
and so we decided to take the kids
434
00:19:35,170 --> 00:19:36,600
on a little excursion of our own
435
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,140
and give my mom a little time to herself,
436
00:19:39,140 --> 00:19:42,710
so no surgery yet, just family time in manhattan.
437
00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:45,380
-thank you. -all right. here we go.
438
00:19:45,380 --> 00:19:47,810
Bill: i love being in new york.
439
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,720
it's my hometown.
440
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,150
Jen: wow.
441
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:54,120
you know, it's a great place to me.
442
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:56,520
wow, hey, see?
443
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,220
they're dressed up like soldiers.
444
00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:59,530
how are you guys today?
445
00:19:59,530 --> 00:20:01,490
Bill: we should have had our heads checked
446
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,460
because we decided to go to the busiest toy store
447
00:20:05,470 --> 00:20:09,800
in the world during the busiest time of the year.
448
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,870
Bill: holy cow. that's pretty cool.
449
00:20:14,540 --> 00:20:16,410
yeah, you could go.
450
00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:18,340
(indistinct conversations)
451
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:20,610
holy cow.
452
00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:22,220
that's quite a train set.
453
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:23,750
that is a nice train set.
454
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:25,250
(indistinct conversations)
455
00:20:25,250 --> 00:20:28,020
Bill: we tried to make this trip as fun as possible
456
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:29,790
and, you know, we all understand
457
00:20:29,790 --> 00:20:32,190
what Jen is going to be headed in for,
458
00:20:32,190 --> 00:20:34,960
so it's still tense and still worrisome and...
459
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,700
but Jen chose to not hang our hat on all the bummer stuff,
460
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:44,940
surgery and pain and all that because what choice do you have?
461
00:20:47,740 --> 00:20:49,310
no, no, no, no, no, we'll show him.
462
00:20:49,310 --> 00:20:52,450
we'll show him. don't pick it up.
463
00:20:52,450 --> 00:20:53,810
laser tag. -oh, wow.
464
00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:55,280
-mommy had that. -i had one of those!
465
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,920
-me too. -yeah!
466
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,920
Zoey, you might like those baby dolls.
467
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,820
-oh, yeah, Zoey, Zoey! -come here, zo.
468
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:01,890
check this out!
469
00:21:01,890 --> 00:21:05,830
look at these babies. they're so cute.
470
00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:07,630
oh, and a tea set!
471
00:21:07,630 --> 00:21:10,360
look at that!
472
00:21:10,370 --> 00:21:11,760
oh, my goodness.
473
00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:14,230
the hard part is, is that we're trying to have this fun day
474
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,840
with the kids and of course, i want to spoil them
475
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,210
because i know i'm going in for surgery the next day.
476
00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:22,580
can you have one?
477
00:21:22,580 --> 00:21:24,110
well, you get to pick out a toy
478
00:21:24,110 --> 00:21:26,610
while you're here from mom and dad, right?
479
00:21:26,610 --> 00:21:29,180
are you sure you want a tea set as your toy?
480
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:30,980
you have some tea stuff.
481
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:32,490
-oh! -okay.
482
00:21:32,490 --> 00:21:34,650
but it's also, like, a week before christmas,
483
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:36,590
so we didn't really want them to go crazy,
484
00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:38,990
so we promised them they could pick out one thing each, right?
485
00:21:38,990 --> 00:21:40,890
so, yeah. christmas spirit.
486
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:42,130
that's right.
487
00:21:42,130 --> 00:21:43,760
man: can you help me out with a trick?
488
00:21:43,770 --> 00:21:46,300
i want you to squeeze that ball as tight as you can.
489
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:48,730
don't let it go anywhere. watch this one.
490
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:50,940
this one jumps, too, but not behind your ear.
491
00:21:50,940 --> 00:21:52,810
that one goes in your hand.
492
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:56,240
open it up, you got them both.
493
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,750
my favorite part was definitely the magic guy.
494
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:01,710
he was doing some pretty cool magic that got
495
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,050
Will into it. -yeah, that was fun.
496
00:22:03,050 --> 00:22:05,120
i mean, i like -- i like just hanging out.
497
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,320
it just kind of puts you in the mood, you know?
498
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,290
yeah, it definitely gets you in that sort of holiday spirit.
499
00:22:10,290 --> 00:22:11,520
you know, shopping and...
500
00:22:11,530 --> 00:22:13,530
i don't mean, like, weird.
501
00:22:13,530 --> 00:22:15,360
(laughs)
502
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,200
not that kind of mood. -right, yeah.
503
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,400
(indistinct conversations)
504
00:22:26,370 --> 00:22:28,010
no, stop playing with it.
505
00:22:28,010 --> 00:22:29,610
all right. stop playing with it.
506
00:22:29,610 --> 00:22:31,080
put your head down a little bit.
507
00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:57,700
Jen: Zoey, do you want to go on the piano and play?
508

i think what Bill and i were
509
00:22:59,970 --> 00:23:01,440
kind of the most excited about --
510
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,680
we remember the movie "big."
511
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,640
we were excited to see the giant piano.
512
00:23:04,650 --> 00:23:05,810

00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,120
better and stronger after tomorrow.
517
00:23:17,130 --> 00:23:19,960
Jen: oh, my goodness, knowing all the risks when you have surgery.
518
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,960
okay, this is number 35.
519
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,360
you know, how many times am i going to come out of these okay?
520
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,800
yeah.
521
00:23:37,650 --> 00:23:41,180
♪
522
00:23:41,180 --> 00:23:44,880
Jen: Zoey, do you want to go on the piano and play?
523

we are at the toy store, and i'm definitely excited
524
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,090

533
00:24:13,210 --> 00:24:15,880
kind of like marched onto the piano.
534
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,250
it was really cute, you know?
535
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:19,920
i don't remember ever getting along with my siblings

537
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:24,460
it's really cool to see, and they got a chance
538
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:26,890
to reenact that movie "big,"
539
00:24:26,890 --> 00:24:30,530

the kids got to pick out a couple of toys.

we didn't go too crazy.
546
00:24:43,110 --> 00:24:45,310
mom wanted to have some fun, too,
547
00:24:45,310 --> 00:24:48,850
knowing that she's going to be in not the best of spirits.
548
00:24:48,850 --> 00:24:50,380
you know, once surgery comes,
549
00:24:50,380 --> 00:24:52,380
she's not going to be able to get on the floor
550
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:54,850
and play with the kids with their new toys at home
551
00:24:54,860 --> 00:24:57,060
and, you know, all that fun stuff,
552
00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:01,590
so she took advantage while she was able-bodied.
553
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,600
all right. you ready?
554
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,360

were able to come and have some fun with us today.
572
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,150
they live in long island, so they came in for the 2 days.
573
00:25:53,150 --> 00:25:54,380
i'm pretty lucky.
574
00:25:56,350 --> 00:25:58,120
oh, my god.
575
00:25:58,120 --> 00:26:00,150
think they gave enough bread or what?

no, we're getting more.
580
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,740
Bill: there are certain things that we do to memorialize the occasion,
581
00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:23,380
and my wife calls the night before surgery the last supper.
582
00:26:23,380 --> 00:26:26,280
it has nothing to do with jesus, just has to do with the fact
583
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,980
that, you know, "if i'm gone tomorrow,
584
00:26:27,980 --> 00:26:31,150
i'd better make sure that i had a good meal before i go."
585
00:26:31,150 --> 00:26:33,220
-toast. -okay, a toast.
586
00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:34,890
toast that mommy is going to be
587
00:26:34,890 --> 00:26:38,460
better and stronger after tomorrow.
588
00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:42,060
i'm all for that. cheers.
589
00:26:42,060 --> 00:26:44,330
Bill: we try to bring our parents or friends
590
00:26:44,330 --> 00:26:46,930
because you don't know what's going to happen in surgery,
591
00:26:46,930 --> 00:26:48,900
you know, what could go wrong,
592
00:26:48,900 --> 00:26:52,100
so the goal is to play as long into the night as possible
593
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,710
so that it keeps your mind off
594
00:26:53,710 --> 00:26:55,670
of what you have to deal with tomorrow.
595
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,710
i mean, for my last surgery, we all drank too much,
596
00:26:58,710 --> 00:27:01,710
and i was way too dehydrated for the surgery.
597
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,320
it was closer to being a last supper
598
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,520
because i did that, but it was a lot of fun.
599
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:16,500
well, kate is going to come over,
600
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:18,800
and she'll be with you because mommy
601
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,300
is going to the hospital for my surgery.
602
00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:23,000
thank you.
603
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,970
Bill: are you guys going to wake up really early
604
00:27:24,970 --> 00:27:27,310
to say good-bye to mom when she goes off for surgery?
605
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:31,740
well, we should let you know that the hospital
606
00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:33,180
has a new policy
607
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:35,510
that you're not going to be able to come into the hospital
608
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,920
to see mom while she's there.
609
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,390
well, she's going to be there for probably 5 to 7 days
610
00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:44,420
that you're not going to be able to go and see her.
611
00:27:44,430 --> 00:27:46,030
i know. i'm going to miss you guys.
612
00:27:46,030 --> 00:27:47,260
that's why i'm so sad.
613
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:50,730
yeah.
614
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:54,900
no, not this time, it's not my tummy. it's my leg.
615
00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:59,070
i'll be asleep. i won't realize it.
616
00:27:59,070 --> 00:28:01,440
you're right. i won't know it.
617
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,740
Will and Zoey may not completely understand
618
00:28:03,740 --> 00:28:05,740
what to expect tomorrow,
619
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:08,110
and the fact that i'm going to be away from them
620
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,950
for my entire post-op period in the hospital
621
00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:13,820
definitely makes me sad, but this is a week,
622
00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:18,160
and as long as i come out of surgery fine, they'll...
623
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,890
this Will be a blip on the radar that they won't really remember,
624
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:26,530
so that helps to, you know, rationally reassure me.
625
00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:28,270
you want to do prayer for dinner first?
626
00:28:28,270 --> 00:28:30,000
all right. here we go. come on.
627
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,140
-all right. i have to do this. -okay.
628
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,020
amen.
629
00:28:45,020 --> 00:28:49,420
soon, yes, amen. thank you, Zoey.

cheers, love.
631
00:28:51,430 --> 00:28:53,630
you know, i've been a patient for most of my life,
632
00:28:53,630 --> 00:28:55,190
and then i've also been a physician,
633
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,160
so i've seen both sides of the scalpels,
634
00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:00,630
and knowing all the risks when you have surgery,
635
00:29:00,630 --> 00:29:03,200
sometimes you just kind of think "wow," you know?
636
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,100
"okay, this is number 35."
637
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:08,770
you know, how many times am i going to come out of these okay?
638
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:10,910
so i'm just thinking about how sweet my kids are
639
00:29:10,910 --> 00:29:12,540
and how much i love them,
640
00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:14,210
and i don't want to leave them tomorrow,
641
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:17,120

Jen: by the time of the carriage ride, it was dark,
697
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:47,860
so it starts to become clear
698
00:32:47,860 --> 00:32:49,430
that you're getting closer to surgery
699
00:32:49,430 --> 00:32:51,160
because, you know, whether the sun comes up again,
700
00:32:51,170 --> 00:32:54,400
that's surgery day, but still trying to enjoy,
701
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,270
you know, kind of not wanting the party to end, so to speak.
702
00:32:57,270 --> 00:32:59,570
that is the downside of partying the day before surgery
703
00:32:59,570 --> 00:33:02,170
is that eventually, the party comes to and end.
704
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:03,810
yeah, yeah, yeah.
705
00:33:06,550 --> 00:33:10,080
you getting nervous or what? you are hours away.
706
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,380
i'm nervous, but i'm going to be nervous regardless.
707
00:33:12,390 --> 00:33:14,450
focus on the afternoon when you're out.
708
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:16,090
this time tomorrow, you're done.
709
00:33:16,090 --> 00:33:17,220
-mommy? -yes, yes?
710
00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:19,120
are you nervous tomorrow, for tomorrow?
711
00:33:19,130 --> 00:33:21,090
yes, i am.
712
00:33:21,100 --> 00:33:22,890
Bill: of course i'm nervous.
713
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:25,560
i'm nervous as can be.
714
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:28,400
i don't like Jennifer going for surgery.
715
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,740
she's been through too much already, you know?
716
00:33:30,740 --> 00:33:35,010
she's had her orthopedic stuff, and she had her cancer stuff,
717
00:33:35,010 --> 00:33:38,640
and that was terrible and, you know,
718
00:33:38,650 --> 00:33:40,950
we made it through, but it was not something
719
00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:44,420
i would, you know, wish on my worst enemy.
720
00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:46,120
i want you to be brave for your mom, okay?
721
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,450
are you going to pray for mommy?
722
00:33:48,420 --> 00:33:49,890
say a prayer for mommy?
723
00:33:49,890 --> 00:33:52,220
mommy needs to live a long time to see you guys grow up.
724
00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:57,660
but we have to deal with that and try and get our emotions
725
00:33:57,660 --> 00:34:00,430
in check and, you know, wipe your tears away
726
00:34:00,430 --> 00:34:02,670
and, you know, be strong.
727
00:34:02,670 --> 00:34:04,440
i'll do the surgery for you tomorrow.
728
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,610
you take the kids.
729
00:34:06,610 --> 00:34:08,140
you can't.
730
00:34:08,140 --> 00:34:09,210
no, but i want you to.
731
00:34:09,210 --> 00:34:11,110
trust me, i wish i could.
732
00:34:13,380 --> 00:34:15,910
in a moment, i would do it.
733
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,950
i wouldn't even have to think about it.

i've got all my family here.

i've got tremendous amount of love and support.

everybody is as prepared as possible
748
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,670

come on in, mom and chuck and barbara.
755
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,060
they're not going to let everybody stay.
756
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:33,660
Bill: it's good to have family around.
757
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:37,700
i said, "i'm the mom. i'm not leaving."
758
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:41,000
Jen's mom came up. my mom and stepdad came in.
759
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,500
the kids and kate Will be around in city eating lunch
760
00:35:44,510 --> 00:35:47,240
and going to different places, shopping and stuff,
761
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:50,440
so it kept them occupied, which is good.
762
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,510
-pretty outside. -i wish i could be in there
763
00:35:52,510 --> 00:35:54,310
and hold your hand through the whole thing.
764
00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:55,710
thank you.
765
00:35:55,720 --> 00:36:00,320
hopefully i won't be awake when they do anything.
766
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,790
that's the goal, right?
767
00:36:01,790 --> 00:36:06,490
you know, before surgery, obviously, you know, feeling
768
00:36:06,490 --> 00:36:09,730
a little twist in my stomach, quite a bit of butterflies,
769
00:36:09,730 --> 00:36:11,760
but i also know what can go wrong
770
00:36:11,770 --> 00:36:14,370
in terms of managing a critical situation.
771
00:36:14,370 --> 00:36:18,000
i mean, that's what i train people in sim about.
772
00:36:18,010 --> 00:36:20,370
good morning. hi, nice to see you.
773
00:36:20,370 --> 00:36:21,510
nice to see you, too.
774
00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:23,280
i just have a few questions for you, okay?
775
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,440
sure, come on in.
776
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,040
Bill, you're going to get all the updates today
777
00:36:26,050 --> 00:36:28,010
when dr. bostrom is all done with the surgery.
778
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:29,250
yes, please, yes.
779
00:36:29,250 --> 00:36:31,250
do you guys ever, like, update during surgery?
780
00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:33,750
like intubation because that's my big worry.
781
00:36:33,750 --> 00:36:35,650
got it, we can actually speak to dr. bostrom.
782
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:37,290
he can place a call to the waiting area,
783
00:36:37,290 --> 00:36:39,160
and we'll pass the info along to Bill, okay?
784
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,690
-great. -yeah.
785
00:36:40,690 --> 00:36:42,490
as part of my skeletal dysplasia,
786
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:45,960
i have a pretty complicated airway,
787
00:36:45,970 --> 00:36:48,270
and i've been fused at the cervical spine,
788
00:36:48,270 --> 00:36:51,040
and that means they can't manipulate my neck
789
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,140
as well as they could anyone else to try
790
00:36:53,140 --> 00:36:55,140
and get that perfect angle to visualize
791
00:36:55,140 --> 00:36:58,410
how to get the breathing tube from the mouth into the lungs,
792
00:36:58,410 --> 00:37:00,310
so i'm a high-risk patient.
793
00:37:00,310 --> 00:37:02,350
thank you, chuck.
794
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:04,280
oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
795
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,920
see you in a little bit.
796
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,390
all right.
797
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:09,690
love you, thank you.
798
00:37:09,690 --> 00:37:11,920
my surgery for my first hip replacements,
799
00:37:11,930 --> 00:37:14,060
the anesthesiologist told me it took them an hour
800
00:37:14,060 --> 00:37:15,690
to get a breathing tube in,
801
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:17,830
and i remember waking up during it.
802
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:20,830
it was so painful and very traumatic.
803
00:37:20,830 --> 00:37:22,600
you okay? -yeah, yeah.
804
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,900
don't make me worry about you.
805
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:26,440
so of course, i've been...
806
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,810
you know, this is what i worry about the most,
807
00:37:28,810 --> 00:37:31,080
so i've just got to hope for the best.
808
00:37:38,850 --> 00:37:43,890

Bill: today i am having surgery in manhattan
810
00:37:47,830 --> 00:37:51,360
and going under the knife, it gets worse every single time,
811
00:37:51,370 --> 00:37:53,770
so it was very hard to not have anxiety.
812
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,440
-good morning. -hey, good morning.
813
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,900
-how are you? -good, how are you?

-you look awake. -good to see you.
817
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,510
yep, got the whole crew here.
818
00:38:04,510 --> 00:38:06,310
yeah, this is my mom, dr. bostrom.
819
00:38:06,310 --> 00:38:08,350
(indistinct conversations)
820
00:38:08,350 --> 00:38:09,780
my name is mathias bostrom.
821
00:38:09,780 --> 00:38:11,080
i'm orthopedic surgeon here
822
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,950
at the hospital for special surgery.
823
00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:14,350
-you all set? -all right.
824
00:38:14,350 --> 00:38:15,490
i think so. -good.
825
00:38:15,490 --> 00:38:18,160
we'll be revising Jen's right hip,
826
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,260
which has been in place for many years and unfortunately,
827
00:38:21,260 --> 00:38:23,160
looks like one of the components is loose,
828
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,500
and the other part is really worn out.
829
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:28,170
do you think there's a good chance of full replacement
830
00:38:28,170 --> 00:38:29,270
as opposed to?
831
00:38:29,270 --> 00:38:30,870
i think so. i mean, i think the liner,
832
00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:32,770
we're going to be okay with, and so i don't --
833
00:38:32,770 --> 00:38:34,570
i'm hoping i don't have to take that cup out
834
00:38:34,570 --> 00:38:36,240
to change the plastic liner in.
835
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,480
certainly all the studies show
836
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,450
that the femoral component is probably loose.
837
00:38:40,450 --> 00:38:41,710
it is, yeah.
838
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,620
and that's why you're having it, i think, so...
839
00:38:43,620 --> 00:38:44,650
and we have a good plan.
840
00:38:44,650 --> 00:38:46,520
we have an implant that's going to fit.
841
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,720
we have to sort of custom make it a little bit.
842
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,390
and we know how to do that. -okay.
843
00:38:51,390 --> 00:38:54,030
i worry about the technical aspects of the surgery,
844
00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:55,790
making sure the components fit.
845
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,660
we have to have very special components
846
00:38:57,660 --> 00:39:00,230
available to fit her size,
847
00:39:00,230 --> 00:39:02,400
and she has a very difficult airway,
848
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,040
and so we have real concerns from an anesthetic standpoint.
849
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,840
you want come over and hold my hands, anyone?
850
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,470
-i'm trying to distract you. -yes, yes, yes.
851
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,480
don't worry, we'll make it a family affair.
852
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,510
-not just a stick, it's an iv. -i'll watch her, Jen.
853
00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:15,750
okay, yeah, don't stress her out, though.
854
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:19,750
look at me. look at me.
855
00:39:19,750 --> 00:39:22,490
you be nice and relaxed.
856
00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:24,820
Bill: you know, there's different sets of risks
857
00:39:24,830 --> 00:39:26,960
associated with any major surgery,
858
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,690
and skeletal dysplasia complicates things.
859
00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:32,400
we metabolize medications at a different rate,
860
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,870
so it's hard to tell whether or not
861
00:39:33,870 --> 00:39:35,700
you have enough or not enough,
862
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:38,600
and you really want to have just enough when you're having,
863
00:39:38,610 --> 00:39:41,570
you know, your leg cut open, so that you don't feel it,
864
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:44,480
but not too much to where you never feel it again
865
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,150
ever so, you know, there's those concerns.
866
00:39:47,150 --> 00:39:49,150
who's going to get your glasses?
867
00:39:49,150 --> 00:39:50,980
oh, i don't know. do i have to loosen them?
868
00:39:50,980 --> 00:39:53,750
pretty soon. you're going to be napping pretty soon.
869
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:55,150
-okay. -let me get out of your way.
870
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,190
no worries.
871
00:39:57,190 --> 00:39:59,990
hold on. all of a sudden, did you start going more?
872
00:39:59,990 --> 00:40:01,860
yeah, i opened it up wide...
873
00:40:01,860 --> 00:40:03,700
i think you frightened her, doctor.
874
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:05,860
(indistinct conversations)
875
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:09,170
all right. so they're going about to make me la-la, so...
876
00:40:09,170 --> 00:40:13,240
i'm nervous. i just want to make it out the other side.
877
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:20,510
Bill: part of me knows exactly what it feels like,
878
00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:23,420
and part of me is just sick to my stomach
879
00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:26,820
that i'm watching her have to go through it.
880
00:40:26,820 --> 00:40:29,290
people die on the operating table all the time,
881
00:40:29,290 --> 00:40:31,490
and you can't help but think about that a little bit
882
00:40:31,490 --> 00:40:35,960
because that's the only thing you're able to think about.
883
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,630
there's nothing else going on.
884
00:40:39,230 --> 00:40:40,930
just don't lean on my iv. like that.
885
00:40:40,930 --> 00:40:43,300
don't worry, though, they'll put another one in.
886
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,370
you've already got your medication. you're fine.
887
00:40:45,370 --> 00:40:47,410
good luck, i'll see you in a few hours.
888
00:40:47,410 --> 00:40:50,140
yeah, love you very much. take care of the kids.
889
00:40:50,140 --> 00:40:51,280
i Will.
890
00:40:52,250 --> 00:40:53,880
i Will.
891
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,880
shut up, shut up.
892
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,520
she's going to be asleep.
893
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,880
i love you, baby.
894
00:40:59,890 --> 00:41:01,650
yes.
895
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:03,620
see you when you get out.
896
00:41:06,190 --> 00:41:07,760
love you, love you. love you.
897
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,860
-yeah, you good? -i'm good.
898
00:41:10,860 --> 00:41:12,660
thank you. back in the saddle again.
899
00:41:12,670 --> 00:41:15,330
yeah, i know. you'll be fine.
900
00:41:15,340 --> 00:41:17,900
like i said, pick a place we can go out dancing.
901
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:19,570
-ready? -ready.
902
00:41:19,570 --> 00:41:20,670
all right. cool.
903
00:41:20,670 --> 00:41:22,210
i'm still coherent, which is good.
904
00:41:22,210 --> 00:41:24,540
-good. -see you when i wake up.
905
00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:31,520
Bill: i've been in her position so many times.
906
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,190
for a brief moment, you think about your mortality.
907
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:36,720
you think about what if something goes wrong?
908
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,360
you know, are my affairs in order?
909
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,360
i don't know if i'd ever be able to recover
910
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,290
from losing my spouse,
911
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:47,000
so when you think about that worst-case scenario, it just...
912
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,470
it puts you in a bad place.
913
00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:49,500
you're in charge.
914
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:51,000
-i am in charge. -you're in charge.
915
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,640
she apologized.
916
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,610
she's such a good soul,
917
00:41:57,610 --> 00:42:00,910
and she goes through so, so much.
918
00:42:00,910 --> 00:42:05,450
barbara: but that's why they are who they are.
919
00:42:05,450 --> 00:42:08,350
but there's just so many times we can be lucky
920
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,720
and blessed that... i know, but...
921
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,420
don't even go there...
922
00:42:12,430 --> 00:42:15,590
-but you still get... -...'cause i can't go there.
923
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,830
Bill: skeletal dysplasia is tough.
924
00:42:17,830 --> 00:42:19,260
it poses a lot of problems,
925
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:22,030
but you can live a completely healthy normal life
926
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,740
if you don't get bogged down in the tough stuff,
927
00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:26,570
and that only happens if i stay healthy
928
00:42:26,570 --> 00:42:28,010
and if my wife stays healthy,
929
00:42:28,010 --> 00:42:30,410
so you keep doing what we've got to do,
930
00:42:30,410 --> 00:42:33,010
and that's pretty much all i focus on.
931
00:42:33,010 --> 00:42:36,680
everybody couldn't go through what they go through
932
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,180
and then to have the spirit that they have...
933
00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:41,320
she's an angel.
934
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,660
she's got the can-do, Will-do ethic,
935
00:42:43,660 --> 00:42:46,820
and that's what both of us raised our kids to have.
