00:00Here I am, coming at me, boys!
00:03Hello, all you beautiful people.
00:10This is my tiny little bald head.
00:13The joints in my elbows right here are locked,
00:16so that prevents them from being able to bend up and down.
00:24I know they say that I age eight times faster.
00:27This is a serious condition, and if it's left untreated, patients can develop heart failure.
00:32Him being happy makes me very happy.
00:35Today I'll find out if I need major surgery.
00:39I'm not going to lie and say I'm not terrified.
00:43It is real, and it's coming for me.
00:55My name is Tiffany Redican.
00:57Hold on, I have a surprise.
01:04It's still Tiffany!
01:07I think I look cute bald, actually.
01:10Hello!
01:11It's me, Tenacious Tiffany.
01:15I'm 48.
01:17I'm from Columbus, Ohio.
01:19Here I am.
01:21In all my glory.
01:23I was diagnosed with progeria.
01:26Progeria is a rapid aging disease.
01:29It only affects about 400 people, 500 people worldwide.
01:38I know they say that I supposedly age eight times faster.
01:42So if that's the case,
01:45this is me.
01:47That's 48 times eight.
02:08Tiffany is currently under my care primarily for her aortic valve.
02:13She's unfortunately developed some narrowing of the aortic valve,
02:16which is called aortic stenosis.
02:21This is a serious condition, and if it's left untreated,
02:24patients can develop a lot of other problems,
02:26like congestive heart failure.
02:34The typical lifespan is only about 15.
02:37We don't have a whole lot of experience
02:39treating older patients with progeria.
02:43They may stop growing.
02:45They may have other problems that would affect the elderly,
02:47like loss of hair or loss of teeth at a young age.
02:52Oh, God.
02:53Am I going to be able to do this?
02:54Am I going to be able to do this?
03:01I don't know if this is going to work.
03:06Okay.
03:07Let's see.
03:09Okay, everybody.
03:12I feel like I'm in a tank.
03:15That's for sure.
03:16But look, I don't even have to sit on a pillow.
03:19Hey!
03:20For all you out there that ask me all the time
03:23if I can drive and see over the dashboard.
03:26Yes, I can.
03:32Okay.
03:34Oh, God.
03:36Okay.
03:37Drive.
03:39Oh, still need more Ripley Reapers.
03:42I can't see anything.
03:44Oh, God.
03:47It's going to take some good use, too.
03:52Wee-hee-hee-hee.
03:55Oh, there you go.
03:57This is fun.
04:00Oh, God.
04:01And I hit something.
04:05I'm not wearing my hair right now
04:08because I don't sleep in it.
04:14This is my tiny little bald head.
04:16I usually wear my robe because it's cold
04:20with no hair on my head.
04:26I know that Tiffany has to deal with things
04:30that most people her age don't.
04:33She's losing her hair.
04:35She's losing her teeth.
04:38It's hard for me to eat in general
04:40because I have no teeth.
04:42These are 3D-printed teeth.
04:44I can't, I don't have bottoms.
04:48I'm losing all my body fat, all my weight.
04:51I don't weigh much now.
04:54That is hard on my body.
05:00Little Nasty!
05:03Up until probably these last 5 years,
05:06I haven't felt like that was aging
05:08because I have just been living,
05:11living hard and living fun
05:13and not giving a about what's happening to me.
05:18I have a good core group of friends
05:21that really care about me
05:23and I still have some of those friends
05:24from when I was in grade school.
05:26I did Judy's classroom.
05:30She's grown up at dark now teaching.
05:33All grown up.
05:35Tiffany is the most authentic
05:39and just real person that I know.
05:42What's up?
05:43That's what's up!
05:45I love you!
05:46I love you!
05:47She's a spitfire, energetic ball of energy
05:51and she's my best friend.
05:54Fearless!
05:55Yeah.
05:56And I have makeup!
05:57I'm just really happy to be part of Tiffany's world
06:01and knowing such an amazing, inspiring, strong woman.
06:08Back when I was in high school, Tiffany was our mascot
06:11and since she was so little,
06:13people could just kind of lift her up
06:14and carry her on their shoulders.
06:18That is me in 8th grade cheerleading.
06:22I was happy!
06:23I was thinking about those pom-poms.
06:27And waiting in the air!
06:36Tiffany, as a child, was not anything like a sickly child.
06:41She did everything that everybody else did.
06:45She was just smaller.
06:49I started noticing things changing about me
06:52when I was like 12.
06:55So, I started noticing that my fingers were different.
07:00Like, my nails weren't the same.
07:03Like, all my girls were painting their fingernails
07:05and doing stuff like that
07:06and I couldn't do that because I don't have any.
07:09I knew I was different when I was little.
07:11I just didn't know why.
07:13And I didn't put a whole lot of thought into it
07:15because I was too busy living my life.
07:26I'm a patient, Dr. Cole, because she's increasing her blood pressure.
07:31The last few times it's taken.
07:33The last one we just got was 200 of an eagle.
07:36She's been having headaches coming and going.
07:40She has aortic stenosis as well.
07:43She has no chest pain.
07:47I'm scared.
07:48And my blood pressure was so high
07:51because I can feel my eyes are pulsing with my heartbeat.
07:57I'll find out if I need major surgery.
08:02I'm scared.
08:04Because I'm not ready to do any of that.
08:17Hello, all you beautiful people.
08:21My name is Ryan Ledbetter.
08:23I'm 31 and I'm from Texas.
08:28So there's a lot of people on here
08:31that keep asking me the same questions.
08:33No, my arms do not unfold.
08:36They're, you know, stuck like this.
08:40The second one being that...
08:42This is a tough one, but, um...
08:45Pineapple does not belong on pizza!
08:50I was born with a physical disability
08:53called arthrogryposis.
08:55Don't ask me how to spell that,
08:56because I couldn't tell you.
09:04I just want y'all to know that I have been struggling with this
09:06for like the past three f***ing minutes now,
09:09trying to get this water out of this plastic.
09:10I ain't had to struggle this hard since the night I lost my virginity.
09:17I've had to learn how to adapt to everyday life
09:21and learn how to do everything that everybody else does.
09:25The joints in my elbows right here are locked,
09:28so that prevents them from being able to bend up and down.
09:32Obviously, I can swing them,
09:34but I can't make them bend like your average person can.
09:43When my mom was pregnant with me,
09:45there wasn't enough room for my joints to fully develop,
09:48so my arms can only bend a certain amount.
09:57However, this is my dad.
10:00Tell everybody what you said about me running
10:02and what's going to happen whenever we race.
10:05My dad is so slow that he's definitely going to lose.
10:10I won!
10:11Can you get it down?
10:13Yes.
10:13If you can find the head hole.
10:15I need to find where the tag is.
10:17Put your shirt on backwards.
10:19I don't think it's on the right way.
10:20My son's mom and I, we didn't end up staying together,
10:23but we have a good co-parenting relationship.
10:29I was a little bit scared about becoming a father
10:33because I had spent my whole life learning how to overcome my disability
10:36and learn how to be independent and take care of myself,
10:39so I didn't know how that was going to transition over into being a dad.
10:45Do you want to tear your pizza up,
10:47or are you just going to eat it like it is?
10:48Are you just going to eat it like I do?
10:50Just eat it whole?
10:51Can I eat mine like his?
10:54Yeah, deal with that.
10:56Are you trying to eat like I do?
10:58Your hands work, though.
10:59You can use those.
11:07Hello.
11:07Hey.
11:09How are you?
11:10Good, how are you?
11:11Good.
11:13Have you been sleeping any better lately?
11:15Not really.
11:16Getting any rest?
11:17Not really, no.
11:18I mean, it's just, it's like my brain,
11:20whenever I try to lay down and relax,
11:22it's like my brain just won't shut off.
11:25He was initially born with his legs kind of up by his ears,
11:29so we had to really kind of stretch him out and get him flexible.
11:32It was very painful for him to be stretched like that.
11:38The doctors were telling us that he probably wouldn't be able to eat on his own,
11:43he wouldn't be able to go to the restroom,
11:45he would have a feeding tube his whole life,
11:47that he would not be able to walk.
11:51I was heartbroken, and my immediate thought process was,
11:55how was he going to navigate life?
12:00Sorry.
12:00You okay?
12:02Yeah.
12:04I do worry about you being, you know,
12:07off by yourself all the time and working so hard.
12:22I have a doctor's appointment this morning to see Dr. Arshi
12:28and my six-month echocardiogram.
12:31It's always a little nerve-wracking.
12:40I am feeling scared.
12:43I'm not going to lie and say I'm not terrified,
12:49because I am.
13:01Today I'll find out if I need major surgery.
13:13I know that there's always a chance today's the day.
13:17How have you been feeling, Tiffany?
13:19Good.
13:20Good.
13:20Good.
13:21Glad to hear it.
13:22Just going to do some images of your heart today.
13:25We're going to take a look at the left side of your heart to start.
13:28What is that measuring?
13:30So that picture measures the left side of your heart, the left atrium.
13:34Helps us check your heart to look for any leaking of the heart valves
13:37or any kind of abnormal blood flow.
13:39Great.
13:40And there's a picture of all four chambers of your heart.
13:42That's the heart.
13:44Yep.
13:45Wow, that tiny little thing.
13:49Beaten.
13:49I bet if more people saw their heart beating, they would take care of it.
13:53You would think.
13:55Well, most people don't get to see their heart beating like this unless something happens.
14:14Growing up, I had my mom, Linda, my dad, Michael, and my two brothers, Todd and Chad.
14:23That picture is Christmas.
14:26And my dad took that picture on a timer because he loved taking family pictures.
14:33Tiffany's mother and brother both have progeria.
14:36Her brother was affected pretty severely and unfortunately passed away at a young age.
14:43That is my brother Chad's best friend wedding.
14:48And Chad was so happy.
14:51Miss Todd and Chad and me.
14:53But that was right before he died.
14:56Shortly before he passed away.
15:01My brother was very funny and always had everyone laughing.
15:06He was, you know, like 18, 19 years old and bones were breaking.
15:12And then by the time he was 30, he was having aortic valve surgery.
15:17My brother was like, I really want to know.
15:20We have to figure out what I have.
15:23We had lots of tests done.
15:26Doctors discovered my mom, Chad, and I all had progeria.
15:32That was 17 years ago when I was 31.
15:46She actually took a lot of blame for us having progeria.
15:52And she would apologize to me all the time.
15:55Like, I'm so sorry that I gave this to you.
15:59And I'm like, oh, who gave it to you?
16:02Like, it's not your fault.
16:04But she had that guilt for like, ever.
16:10You know, I don't know, it was like a month before my mom passed away.
16:15She said to me, she's like, Tiffany.
16:18She looked right at me and she was like, Tiffany, you cannot be tamed.
16:24And I'm like, I know.
16:27Why would you want to tame this?
16:33When I got diagnosed, it wasn't, like, devastating to me.
16:38It became devastating and it really sank in when my brother died.
16:45He got the open heart surgery and then from that point they just discovered heart disease all over his body.
16:51And when I get things like my legs checked and if I feel like things are going wrong in my
16:58feet and my legs, it really puts me in kind of a panic, a little quiet panic.
17:04Because that's how my brother really lost his life from complications with that.
17:12Chad was only 39 when he died.
17:24I woke up this morning and I kind of got sick to my stomach.
17:27I was nauseous.
17:28It's not uncommon for people to have their valves replaced.
17:31I don't want that to happen.
17:33That is the last thing that I want to do.
17:36Because I know that changes everything.
17:39I don't know how much of that my body can take.
17:41Like, I saw my brother and my mom and I don't know how they went through that.
17:46So, I don't know.
17:50I don't want to think about it.
17:55Hello.
17:57Hi, Tiffany.
17:59How are you doing?
18:00Nice to see you.
18:01Yeah.
18:02How have you been?
18:03I'm good.
18:04Okay.
18:05So, I took a look at your echocardiogram.
18:10I think we need to start at least getting some plans in place.
18:24I'm waiting for Dr. Arshi to go over my test results with me.
18:32So, I took a look at your echocardiogram.
18:36If you remember, we've been looking at your heart because of the aortic valve that's had some narrowing to it.
18:42You had pretty consistently had moderate aortic valve narrowing.
18:46And at this point, it looks like it's progressed.
18:49It's gotten a little bit worse than last time from six months ago.
18:52It started to approach the severe range.
18:55So, now it looks like your aortic valve is severely narrowed.
18:59But I think the time has come that we need to start putting some plans into place for when the
19:04time comes for it to be replaced.
19:06It's not going to be as straightforward in your situation.
19:10So, we have to kind of figure out what's the best approach and how we can most safely replace your
19:15aortic valve.
19:16Is it considerably worse?
19:19It is worse.
19:20It's gone from moderate to severe.
19:23It's definitely made a jump.
19:24You had been very consistent with the same numbers for, you know, probably about two years.
19:31And it's definitely taken a turn.
19:33I would say it's gotten worse.
19:37Yeah.
19:38That sucks.
19:38Yeah.
19:40Your measurement was about 30 to 35 for a very long time, for several years.
19:46A severely stenotic valve, that pressure measurement, is over 40.
19:50Yours is about 45 now.
19:52So, you've taken quite a big, quite a big jump.
19:55In six months?
19:56In six months.
19:57Yeah.
19:58I didn't want to believe him at first.
20:01But I knew that it was real.
20:03So, I had to like, this is real Tiffany.
20:07I was disappointed.
20:15Do you think it's going to be able to be done without having to do open heart surgery?
20:20That is our hope.
20:21We try to replace most aortic valves through catheters in the groin.
20:25With your size, we're probably going to be looking at pediatric valves.
20:28It's a little different than what we usually do.
20:31So, we may need to get the expertise of one of our pediatric cardiology colleagues.
20:36What's going to be a little bit more challenging in Tiffany's situation is that, as a result of progeria, she
20:42has a small stature.
20:44And we would need to make sure we have an appropriately sized valve that we can place in her.
20:49And if I don't catch it in time, could I have a heart attack?
20:52So, the most concerning trouble with a badly narrowed aortic valve is congestive heart failure.
20:59That can happen if the pressures in the heart just get too high.
21:02So, that's why we really want to get ahead of this.
21:07I think we just put a big one on here for you to think about.
21:11Yeah.
21:11I want to think about it.
21:13Yeah.
21:14We're going to take, we're going to do the thinking part and we'll help you get through this.
21:18Okay?
21:19Okay.
21:21Alright.
21:26This is one of those moments that you will very rarely see me having an emotional breakdown.
21:47I miss my mom.
21:55And I'm just so tired of being alone all the time.
22:05Mom died in September 2024, less than two years ago.
22:12My mom was 75.
22:14I'm hoping that I can live past that.
22:17I mean, in my mind, I'm never going to die.
22:20I feel like I am going to live forever.
22:23Because I can't wrap my head around not being here.
22:29I think my mother actually was the oldest living person with any form of progeria that they're aware of.
22:37If you would have met her, you would see where Tiffany gets her fire for life.
22:45I am feeling scared.
22:48I mean, I knew it was a matter of time that he was going to tell me that we had
22:51to do something, but I'm never ready for it.
22:56It hits me like, well, this is real and it's coming.
23:02I don't know.
23:03I just, I don't want my life to be over anytime soon.
23:15My name is Tanya, I'm 27, and I am Ryan's girlfriend.
23:26When you're laying there awake at night and you really can't sleep, what's kind of going through your mind?
23:31What are you thinking about?
23:32Just usually thinking about, you know, the old Tanya moving in.
23:36And it's just a big step, so it's just a lot to try to process.
23:41It's just a lot to keep up with.
23:45Ryan told me about Tanya probably about six months ago.
23:51And I did worry about that in the beginning.
23:54I don't want him to be hurt because he's been hurt by other people.
23:58Him being happy is, makes me very happy.
24:10Hi, Grace.
24:14I'll take your hug, Grace.
24:17We met on social media.
24:20And I messaged her first.
24:21And I think I commented something about her hair because I liked it, how it was like long and pretty.
24:27My game is not that great, so that's just what I was, yeah, that's what I was going for.
24:31It worked, though.
24:32Yeah, here we are.
24:34God was like, well, I'm going to give this guy a super handsome face and then boomerangs for arms, but
24:39here we are.
24:41Just loved how beautiful I thought that she was.
24:45And so that was intimidating to me because I'm just like, this girl's way out of my league.
24:52I don't think I have been following him, but I've definitely seen a lot of his videos prior.
24:56It's not an experience I've ever been through to be able to talk to somebody with a following or as
25:01attractive as he is.
25:03He was definitely the one pushing to meet.
25:05I was shy.
25:06I was hesitant.
25:07But he definitely had a little bit more confidence than I did.
25:11He's reaching audiences that you don't usually reach that need that positivity.
25:16And, I mean, he gets paid too, so that helps.
25:18It fills my pockets.
25:23Gold digger.
25:26Do you see Tony and your dad kiss sometimes?
25:31Pause.
25:32Who wrote these questions?
25:36How is your name?
25:37Good.
25:38It was good.
25:40Let her, let her shoot it.
25:43Good try.
25:45High five.
25:48It's a little more difficult with having a disability and trying to be vulnerable simply
25:54because you never know what somebody's intentions are with you, whether they're just trying
26:01to use you or they feel sorry for you.
26:04I love kids, even as much as my anxiety and the chaos of children.
26:11Get over here! Ow, my ear!
26:15I don't do good with chaos for so long, like sometimes I'm like, OK, we've got to get these
26:19kids outside because I can't handle, I can't take the screaming, you know, just the playing
26:23and stuff like that.
26:25We're both still kind of anxious.
26:28I know you only have River every other week.
26:30How are you going to feel about having Grace full time?
26:33It's going to be an adjustment.
26:35For all of us.
26:36It's a big step.
26:36It's a big step for both of us.
26:46Now my reality is very clear, coming to fruition.
27:00I'm sure everything's going to be just fine and if it's not, well then I guess I had one
27:07hell of a ride on a ride that I wasn't even supposed to be on.
27:19I'm here!
27:22Hi!
27:24How are you?
27:27Hi!
27:29Hi!
27:31Hi!
27:31Hi!
27:31Oh my gosh!
27:32Hi!
27:37So how was it today, Tiff?
27:39How did it go?
27:40Well, we're looking at having to have my aortic valve replaced soon.
27:50So, that's next.
27:52Yeah. How do you feel about all this?
27:57No, I'm not. I mean, like, I'm happy that they're going to be able to fix it,
28:01but I am terrified that he's hoping they don't have to do open heart.
28:06They're going to assess to see if I am the size of a smaller adult, valve-wise,
28:13or if I'm a kid's size. And that will make all the difference.
28:17I'm guessing kid's size.
28:18I'm guessing I'm the size of a seven-year-old.
28:21But you have a huge heart.
28:22I know. I'm so big.
28:25All these moments with her health scare us. That fear is real.
28:30Tiffany can live in the moment and get through all of these challenging physical moments.
28:38I am going through, like, a roller coaster of, like, oh, my life over.
28:42No, it's not over. Everything's going to be fine.
28:45Like, what can we do as your friends, like, your support group?
28:48What did you need from us?
28:51Just to be there.
28:52Yeah.
28:53You're going to have to come to the hospital.
28:55I know. I was going to say, like, if it's in Boston, I'm going to be there.
28:58Like, I don't care. Like, I'm going.
29:01My brother is so used to, he's gone through all that with my mom.
29:06He's gone, he was there when my brother died.
29:09I'm his baby sister.
29:11And he saw what happened to my brother.
29:12So, I can't imagine what he's thinking right now.
29:18First of all, it's like, oh, here we go.
29:21Oh.
29:22You know, it's the beginning of it.
29:24Yeah, of course, I'm not going to say that to her.
29:27But that's what I'm thinking is, oh, here we go again, right?
29:30And they're going to go, wow.
29:33Look how fast you recover.
29:35You can fly.
29:36I don't, I actually, I actually don't, like, doubt that.
29:39But just imagine, like, if I get a little tune-up and then I get a boost of extra life,
29:45I'm going to live forever.
29:46I won't be able to keep up with you anymore.
29:49No one will.
29:50Yeah, no one will.
29:52Cheers.
29:53Tiffany.
29:54As our mother would like to say, because she loved her Irish heritage, which is cilantro.
30:01Cilantro.
30:02Help.
30:04Take a selfie.
30:08Yes.
30:09Are you ready?
30:14Yeah.
30:15Got it.
30:17So after Tiffany broke the news about her surgery, my main concern was just waiting so long, you know, until
30:24March.
30:26And to me, that just felt like it was too far away.
30:29And I don't know if that was just Tiffany wanting it to be that long or the doctors felt like,
30:35okay, we're fine.
30:35We can wait until March, that it wasn't an emergency.
30:48I have been sick all weekend, and my brother and my friend Rochelle told me to go to the urgent
30:57care yesterday.
30:58And I am so glad that I did.
31:02Um, my heart rate has been through the roof all weekend.
31:14I just know that I'm sick.
31:17And I don't feel good.
31:25Are you the guy from TikTok?
31:27The, uh...
31:29I'm a T-Rex boy.
31:31Over my dad's head?
31:33It is...
31:33Missed.
31:36Give me the ball.
31:38Hey, Dad.
31:40We've talked about it several times.
31:43We're working on the moving in together parts, but we're taking it a step at a time.
31:46Yeah.
31:49It's a big step.
31:51It's a big step for both of us.
31:53But I think we've reached that point in our relationship where it's time to take a leap of faith and...
32:01Just do it.
32:02Just do it.
32:03Just do it.
32:04We only got one or two ways, but it's going to be fine.
32:07Yeah.
32:08It'll be good.
32:09It's going to go the way we want it to.
32:12Hopefully you don't get too annoyed with me too quickly.
32:16I'm just kidding.
32:18No, I'm just ready.
32:19Yeah.
32:20But it's just going to be nice to have you there and be able to sleep next to you every
32:24night.
32:25And I feel like it'll calm both of our anxiety down because we'll be happy because we'll be next to
32:30each other.
32:31Just hopefully you don't push me off the bed or anything.
32:34If you snore.
32:35As long as you just put some pillows on the floor that I can land on if you do knock
32:39me off.
33:08I love him with everything that I've got.
33:09So that makes it a lot easier.
33:11Thank you for coming.
33:14Are y'all behaving in there?
33:16Sure.
33:17Sure works for me.
33:19But I'm going to clean out some drawers and stuff like that for you so that you have more room
33:25for your stuff.
33:25Obviously you can hang most of your stuff up so it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
33:30It's going to be a big adjustment for everybody but we'll get it.
33:35River, let her shoot it.
33:37I also think it's going to be a big adjustment with having Grace there every day.
33:41But she's getting amazing.
33:43I'm wrapped around her finger so I will adjust accordingly.
33:48So I'll be the woman of the house.
33:50Sure we're just going to be bossed around by her but it's going to be fun.
33:53It'll be good for her to learn how to share when he is here.
33:57He'll just take it day by day.
34:00When I finally met Tonya I realized why and what he sees in her.
34:05She's very sweet.
34:06I could tell that she adores Ryan and River.
34:11I knew that Ryan would eventually find somebody who loved Ryan just for Ryan.
34:18You know not for anything else.
34:22And I feel like Tonya is that special person that's come into his life and it was just it was
34:28meant to be.
34:29So, very happy for him and for her as well.
34:36Good try.
34:37I like that Tonya and my dad and me and Grace could just spend a lot of time together.
34:45No.
34:47Just figuring out the logistics.
34:50Yeah.
34:50Yeah, that's definitely the stressful anxious part but at the end of the day we always figure it out.
34:56Any hurdle we come across we figure it out even if it's not in that moment.
34:59And obviously I'm a very figure it out kind of person so I always figure it out whenever the opportunity
35:06presents itself.
35:08We'll figure it out.
35:09We always do, don't we?
35:12We'll just be one big happy family like the rest of the families in this world.
35:19A happy, dysfunctional family.
35:22With our picket wide pins.
35:24Mm-hmm.
35:25I just feel at peace.
35:26I feel at home.
35:28I feel like, hey, these are the three people I want to protect, you know, always and forever.
35:32It's like, hey, this is my family.
35:34This is what I've lived my whole life waiting for.
35:55First I was somewhat in shock and now that that has worn off, the reality of it is I have
36:02to have it done or I'm going to die too early.
36:06And I'm not ready for that.
36:19It was just devastating.
36:21I mean, you know, that just wasn't supposed to happen, you know.
36:26It was horrible.
36:46There were some complications during the surgery and it took over four hours.
36:54So then we went in to see her and I got to admit, I was a little concerned about, like,
37:05I could just, I mean, she just went through the ringer, so.
37:10She did not look well and I was a little bit concerned.
37:13I could see the fear on Todd's face.
37:18It was just very scary.
37:20And I left, I left there thinking I might, that might have been the last time that I'm going to
37:29see my friend.
37:36I can't really describe how I feel right now other than erated to be alive.
37:50But I made it through, I have a new valve, my heart is working, but I'm not done.
37:59I still have to have some blockade treatment.
38:02They have some complications with the procedure, but they didn't.
38:13They were elevated, peaked around 600, up.
38:17Hi.
38:18Hello.
38:20She is not done living.
38:23That girl, it takes a lot to hold Tiffany down.
38:28How are you?
38:30I am here.
38:35I was getting better yesterday, but now I have a little setback, but it's getting there.
38:43Yeah.
38:43The pain has actually started to subside.
38:45That's good.
38:46That makes it way more comfortable.
38:48Good.
38:49Yeah.
38:50I think coming...
38:52I'm alive.
38:53She is here.
38:54In my little cocoon.
38:57I pretend like I'm in the spa every time I bring you a blanket.
39:01Yeah, that's nice.
39:03That is nice.
39:05And I'm really just ready to get back to living my tenacious life.
39:13She's my baby sister, so it's, you know, eight years older, so, you know, I always wanted
39:20to be protective of her, and, you know, you worry about her because she is smaller.
39:25We just always want to be there for her when, you know, whenever she needs anything.
39:28She knows Big Brother's going to be there.
39:31You know, no matter what it is, she can always count on me and turn to me.
39:36She knows that.
39:42It is one month after my surgery.
39:47Today's the first day that I have driven my car since the mid-January.
39:56I don't know if I'm supposed to be driving yet, but I am.
40:00I am ready to hit the gas pedal in more ways than one.
40:08Wish me luck!
40:16I didn't die.
40:18I'm here.
40:20I feel pretty badass, actually.
40:25Here I am!
40:26Come and get me, boys!
40:28Ah!
40:29Well, f***!
40:33This summer, we have some big plans.
40:36We're hopefully going to be making our way out to California!
40:40There's just so many things that we're going to do this summer, and it all revolves around
40:46living life to the fullest.
40:48And I'm very grateful to have you.
40:51No, I'm very grateful to have you anyway.
40:53I love you, too.
40:55Woo!
40:56Look out, world.
40:58Look out, world.
40:59Here comes Tiffany.
41:00It's a new heart.
41:01That's right.
41:02Big heart.
41:05Hello, my friends.
41:06It is me, your tenacious Tiffany.
41:11My new valve is working like a champ, and I'm a champ.
41:16So, I'm ready to get back out there and live my life.
41:22It really is hard to believe that all of that happened to me.
41:26But it is just a reminder that life can end at any time.
41:32So, make sure you live it up and live it up good.
41:36I know that game, and I wanted to be very stupid.
41:37But hopefully, we'll be right back in the middle of this week.
41:37But after that, we'll be driving on my side.
41:37It's minerals.
41:37Okay.
41:37See?
41:38I love you.
41:38It'sLab пользов hung line.
