Hey guys, it's Whitney. Welcome to my channel. You probably know that I had surgery on my elbow
over a week ago.
And if you want to check out those videos, they'll be linked down below.
But today I'm going to do an elbow update video
I'm going to be going to the doctor to get my splint off.
So, over the past week, it hurt. Mostly the first two days,
But then after those two days, I really, it hurt a little bit.
It was was just sore, But like right now, like, it doesn't hurt at all.
Like, I'm about to break out of this thing!
So, I'm super excited to get it off, but I'll just show you my splint,
just in case you're curious.
It's like [knocks on plaster to show the splint is hard]
It's really hard on the back and it's squishy on the front.
But I couldn't take it off, and I couldn't get it wet.
So, I've been taking baths with my arm out the side [of the tub], and it's itchy because I've been sweating.
So, I'm just excited to get it off and see my scar. I'll see you at the doctor's office.
My sock is falling down my feet a little bit. It's really annoying.
[whispering] I like this one.
Nurse: Yeah, you can.
Nurse: You're not gonna keep this, right?
Whitney: Uh, no.
Nurse: Okay.
Nurse: This is a Lister scissor. You're just going to feel this cutting like this Whitney: Okay
Dad: It's like Christmas all over
Nurse: laughs
Nurse: [Peeling off gauze dressing] Yaaaay!
Nurse: Alrighty.
Dad: Wow.
Dad: Is that what you thought it would look like?
Nurse [laughing]: Yeah.
Nurse: She'll be here in a minute. Okay?
Dad: Thank You.
Nurse: You're welcome, Dad.
Whitney [whispering]: Can't keep myself from hurting.
Whitney [whispering]: Oh, it feels so weird.
Whitney: My Gosh.
I feel like a whole weight has been lifted off.
It feels so good.
Dad: How much can you move it? Or should we wait?
I'm scared to move it. It feels weird.
Not much.
And then [bending elbow] this much.
It's not much.
Feels so weird.
I'm relaxing my arm right now.
It won't straighten, will it?
Uh, it's so weird because when it was in the splint, it felt normal.
Like when it was in the splint, it felt like
"Oh, when I get this thing off, I'm gonna be like able to do [bending left arm] that."
Not kidding.
So weird.
Dad: So, what are you waiting for?
Uh, the nurse, or PDA, or doctor, somebody to come and tell me what to do.
the circle
the criss-cross
then raise her wide
and make a fist
Nurse: You've got a lot of hair, girl.
Yeah, Uh huh. [laughs]
Nurse: There you go.
Real excited.
Purple.
It's just like the one I had on my finger when they cut it open.
Does it hurt?
No, because it's just where they markered.
Yikes.
So that's all for this video. Thank you guys so much for watching
