00:00Hello everyone, my friends, Lavrentia Valjona here.
00:04Today I have a very long story to share with you.
00:07They brought a grandmother to me.
00:09By the way, it was her grandson who brought her, the one she had raised.
00:13And so he decided that it was time to take care of her legs
00:16because there were serious complaints.
00:18It was very, very hard for the grandmother.
00:20As you can see, her toes are in a sad state
00:23and it's already becoming impossible for her to wear shoes, socks and so on.
00:28So let's take a closer look at what we have here.
00:31I'll tell you right now, the green stuff is brilliant green.
00:35The person who helps her with daily hygiene used it for some reason.
00:39The story doesn't reveal what happens next, so we won't know.
00:43But there's a really serious problem that her fingers are already a bit curled up.
00:49Yes, they're not growing in their normal position anymore.
00:52How should I put it? They're intertwining.
00:54I don't even know how to say it more gently here.
00:55Basically, these are the very consequences of wearing narrow and uncomfortable shoes.
01:00So to all the fans of pumps and stilettos, I send my warmest regards.
01:04And I'm not trying to scare you. It's really true.
01:07I mean, in old age, it can all end up looking something like this.
01:12I'm examining the grandma for diaper rash and ulcers between her toes.
01:17As you can see, all the skin is very wrinkled and closely follows the position of the neighboring toe.
01:23And now we'll start the treatment, and I'll tell you what complaints there are.
01:27Of course, the main complaint is that it's very uncomfortable for her to trim her nails.
01:33Today, I'll be working with the STO doctor, Alex SP, 100 device.
01:38People often ask if it's suitable for pedicures.
01:42Well, just watch how I do this work today, and I think you'll be able to get your answer right
01:47away.
01:47By the way, this model is quite affordable, and you can switch from forward to reverse without stopping the device.
01:55And yes, of course, it's power is enough not only for pedicures, but also for working on these kinds of
02:00difficult nails.
02:02I'll start with the big toe.
02:04Here, I'll be using different tools, and I'll try to comment on everything.
02:08Here, I have a carbide bit, and I decided to start by removing this huge layer of, oh my goodness,
02:16what should I call it?
02:17Keratosis. Let's call it that.
02:20So, here they have an agriffus toe.
02:22This likely developed gradually over an unknown period of time, not just in a single year.
02:28Well, thank God they finally came for help now.
02:30And our primary task, as always, is to bring relief to the client.
02:36That is, to make everyday life easier right away, so that socks, stockings, and tights no longer cause grandma so
02:44much discomfort.
02:45Can you imagine how much shoes and hosiery squeeze when your nails are so thick and bulky?
02:52It feels like there's a pebble in your shoe.
02:55Can you imagine how hard it is for her to deal with this in everyday life?
03:01And I want to say right away that I hardly turned on the exhaust fan while working because the grandmother
03:06is hard of hearing,
03:08and I already had to practically shout at her.
03:11Because this is actually her first time ever getting a pedicure.
03:15She had no idea what I was going to do with her, so I spent a long time carefully explaining
03:20that I wasn't going to hurt her,
03:22that I'm not a doctor, and that we're just going to gently tidy up her toes.
03:27That's why I usually worked without an extractor.
03:30And honestly, I would be covered in dust up to my ears, but what wouldn't you do to make someone
03:35comfortable?
03:36I can understand her.
03:38For her, it's a completely different world, a different universe, and I probably didn't make much sense in her view
03:43of the world.
03:45Here you can see her second finger, which probably has the most noticeable one.
03:49The nail became deformed because it curled into a horn and started growing straight upward.
03:56This is actually a very unpleasant situation because this horn curls and starts pressing on the finger tissue.
04:04And in one spot, when I remove it, you'll even be able to see a little hole there.
04:09By the way, remember the tools? These are called eyes or model eyes.
04:14I showed them in the description, and I'll definitely leave all the links there.
04:17I'll be using them mostly today in my work to carefully remove these overgrown thick nails,
04:24because straight cutters aren't always suitable.
04:27In this case, the eyes work really well.
04:30And right here, I was able to find the spot where I need to make a cut to carefully remove
04:35this huge horn-shaped nail.
04:37And now, with bated breath, we're all watching to see what it looks like.
04:42Yes, of course, it looks really, really impressive. It's such a big piece.
04:46I managed to pick it off, to cut it off. Of course, I showed it to her and to my
04:50grandson. I showed everything.
04:52He sat next to us throughout the entire procedure.
04:55So that grandma would feel calmer, because I think it wouldn't be good to leave her alone with me, a
05:01complete stranger.
05:02After all, elderly people worry and get anxious.
05:06Grandma is 76 years old, and at the moment when I had already filmed this lesson for her, she really
05:12relaxed.
05:13That is, she felt relieved.
05:15And I think she even started to worry a little less about what I was doing with her,
05:19because she realized that it definitely wouldn't hurt, and on the contrary, it would feel good.
05:24And you can see right there, a little higher up, I'm covering it a bit with my finger now, there's
05:28a little dimple left here, a small hole, or you could even say a little wound.
05:33That's exactly after that horn-shaped nail.
05:36So it was sticking out all this time, digging into her skin, everything under it was getting sweaty and damp,
05:42and dirt was collecting there.
05:44And of course, you can imagine that while walking, it constantly caused her a lot of discomfort.
05:50And of course, probably because of this, it became harder and harder for her to move around and go for
05:56walks.
05:57I want to say that my grandmother lives independently, she even has a garden and takes care of her household,
06:03so she really tries.
06:05And of course, my first thought was, I said, why don't you take your grandmother to live with you, or
06:10something like that.
06:11But the grandson says, we'd love to, but grandmothers are like that.
06:16I have a grandmother just like that myself, whom I would really like to take in, but she's stubborn and
06:20wants to do everything on her own.
06:22Well, that's how our elderly people are, the older generation, they're very, very independent, very hardworking, so we'll try to
06:29do everything we can.
06:31And looking ahead, I'll note that I won't finish cleaning everything here for her, because we didn't have any information
06:38about the grandmother's health condition.
06:40That is, I didn't know the specifics, like when she last had a blood test, or how her blood sugar
06:45levels were.
06:46And of course, what I was most afraid of was hurting her in some way.
06:50And God forbid there would be bleeding, or for example, if a wound appeared that wouldn't heal well, which can
06:56happen with high blood sugar.
06:57So we agreed with her grandson that we would do a very gentle, superficial treatment, just to make her feel
07:03a bit better.
07:05They will then go home and definitely get some tests done to find out how things are going with all
07:10of that.
07:11And then, in a few months, when they have the opportunity to come back for another treatment, I will do
07:17a more thorough cleaning.
07:20But the main thing is to make sure not to cause any harm today, but rather to help.
07:25The thing is, when nails grow out like this for such a long time, when it wasn't being controlled, in
07:31other words, for a long time it was basically left to take its own course.
07:36Well, actually, I know that they tried to trim the nails and so on, but overall there wasn't the proper
07:40care.
07:41There's this thing where the nail bed starts to grow excessively at some point, in a way.
07:47Well, you know, it's kind of like hyponica with long nails.
07:50When the nail gets deformed, the nail bed can also have some deformation along with it.
07:55And when you do this kind of cleaning, you really need to be careful.
07:59It's very dangerous.
08:00Even though it seems like there's still a lot of space there, like there's still room,
08:05but it can happen that some part of the bed has grown a little in the wrong direction.
08:10Essentially, there will be a capillary cut, and nothing positive will result from it.
08:14That's why it was decided to stop here from time to time.
08:17I'm continuing to work with the carbide burr, but of course we still have a lot of other burrs ahead,
08:23like small carbide ones, for example, which I'll definitely use here.
08:28I'm showing the other fingers. Of course, their condition is a bit better.
08:32I think the most attentive ones have already realized that there's a whole bouquet here, of course.
08:37Everything is present. There are fungi, toadstools, and so on.
08:41But to be honest with you, in the context of elderly people,
08:45I really think that, well, nothing will happen to them.
08:50I gave my recommendations and said everything.
08:52But the most important thing for grandma is that she feels comfortable moving around.
08:56That is, you need to be able to identify what's most important and set priorities.
09:01And you need to understand that they have completely different goals and completely different values.
09:07That's why I also see that most likely all of that is there too.
09:11But even I don't see any point in trying to persuade them about anything,
09:15or to scare them, or to talk to them about some kind of treatment.
09:19So we just continue our treatment as gently as possible,
09:22so that, God forbid, there are no unpleasant sensations.
09:26The second toe's nail bed has grown significantly, with a slightly reddish area visible.
09:32And now let's see what's going on with the pinky toe.
09:35It has also grown quite a lot.
09:37And, of course, at home, even though they tried soaking it,
09:41using basins with water and so on,
09:44of course, they absolutely couldn't manage to trim these nails at all.
09:48And I want to say that if you notice something like this,
09:52with your grandmothers or grandfathers,
09:55please try to go to specialized places,
09:59like podiatry centers, places where this kind of treatment can be done.
10:03I know that now people will come at me and say,
10:06oh my God, this podiatry is so expensive, it's just such a nightmare.
10:09Yes, podiatry really is expensive.
10:11For example, I take models for content absolutely free,
10:15so I can show you and explain that these issues can be solved.
10:19We also often have courses in subspecialties.
10:22And sometimes we need such models for complex procedures there as well.
10:27And we also take them for free.
10:29And I know for sure that I'm not the only one who helps people like this,
10:34you know, providing services to pensioners for free,
10:37or to those people who simply can't afford it,
10:39or don't have the opportunity.
10:42Others just sign up as clients,
10:43and yes, they pay really good money for it.
10:46Because the work, I assure you, is something else.
10:49It's, well, you know, some people can barely even look at it.
10:52Some enjoy watching, but aren't ready to touch it while we're in it.
10:56Well, up to our elbows.
10:57Luckily, we have all the required gear.
10:59But as you can see, sometimes there's a situation
11:02where you don't use the extractor most of the time,
11:05simply because the person is scared.
11:07I will prioritize the client's comfort.
11:10We're continuing the treatment here,
11:13and I'm still trying to finish trimming and cleaning the pinky.
11:16And I'm still worried about how deep I'm cleaning,
11:19because I can't see how much the nail bed is growing there.
11:22That's why I'm switching to magnifying glasses
11:25and a cutting tool so I can carefully trim everything.
11:29Here's the piece we got.
11:31I'm showing it to you and continuing the treatment.
11:33By the way, I also apologize for the video quality
11:37and for what you're seeing here in general,
11:39because it really wasn't about getting any great shots or anything like that.
11:44I mean, it was very, very difficult to work,
11:46because the person is elderly.
11:47She really didn't understand what exactly we were doing here,
11:51and we tried our best to explain it to her.
11:54But thank God, everything went well.
11:57Now is the moment when I'm doing an intermediate additional treatment.
12:01I applied a special liquid called Septofom.
12:05It's from Podia Farm.
12:06I won't provide a link to the cosmetic product,
12:09because purchasing it requires completing a training course first.
12:13I often receive complaints from my subscribers,
12:16asking why I'm showing items they can't purchase.
12:19But sometimes that's just how it is.
12:21So, this is professional cosmetics,
12:23which we also use in our salon for certain services,
12:27but I don't want to advertise it,
12:29simply because you won't be able to buy it anywhere.
12:32But this thing is really great for treating these kinds of difficult nails.
12:36Right now, you can see how I'm gently moving this nail
12:39with a corette and tweezers.
12:42The thing is, this product does a great job
12:44of loosening and softening the nails,
12:46and it does it very quickly and gently.
12:49And then I have the opportunity to work with very, very difficult feet.
12:54Yes, there are other products,
12:55especially for difficult cases when working with such clients.
12:59Especially when there's a risk of injuring or hurting someone,
13:03Septofon comes to my rescue,
13:04because it also contains astringent components,
13:08which help to quickly stop any minor injuries if they occur.
13:14Like this minor capillary bleeding.
13:16Remember, this is professional cosmetics,
13:19and you need training to use it properly.
13:22Here, I want to show you how soft the nail has become.
13:25It's really, really loose now.
13:26Of course, it wasn't super hard before either.
13:29Yes, of course, it was all soaked,
13:32but still, this product really helps to remove everything completely.
13:36And as you can see,
13:38her nails not only grew upward and extended that way,
13:41but they also grew inward, curled, and compressed her nail bed.
13:46Honestly, at the end,
13:47I was just amazed by the shape that the nail bed ended up having.
13:51Because until the very end,
13:52I couldn't believe it would turn out like that.
13:55No matter how much I couldn't believe it,
13:56that's really how it was.
13:58Next, we use a carbide bit.
14:01It's a small ball from the set of burrs by KMIS.
14:05In this case, I'm using set number 2.
14:09It has a different, slightly different cutting pattern.
14:11I talked about this in another video.
14:12So, this bit is considered more efficient,
14:15and has the highest possible performance.
14:18And for such very difficult, complicated cases,
14:21it is truly a lifesaver.
14:23As you can see,
14:24it files and cuts everything very well,
14:27and as a result,
14:28I get a very fast and efficient cleaning process.
14:31But still,
14:33just look at how much dust is accumulating here.
14:36It's just unbelievable.
14:38I'm applying septophon again,
14:39so I can continue working,
14:41because the excavation is still ongoing.
14:44Now, I've armed myself with my favorite curette,
14:46the one I've been working with for several years.
14:50It's very comfortable to work with.
14:52It has smooth edges,
14:53but at the same time,
14:54it helps a lot to lift, hook,
14:56and place the tamponade if needed.
14:58Here, we can see the softened edge of the nail plate,
15:01and underneath it is the bare nail bed.
15:04You can also notice this little hole,
15:07which is left from the part of the nail plate
15:09that I was able to remove.
15:11And for now,
15:12there will be a hole there.
15:15Occasionally, a dent forms.
15:16Well,
15:17because it was there for so many years,
15:20of course,
15:20the skin just took on that shape.
15:23Next,
15:24I armed myself with nippers again
15:26to carefully trim the remaining part of the nail plate.
15:29It's almost like doing jewelry work.
15:31I tried really hard to reach certain spots
15:33without hurting Babushka,
15:35and I want to say that Babushka placed her foot
15:37the way she could,
15:38in the position that was comfortable for her.
15:40And of course,
15:41there was no way she could be
15:43in a comfortable position at all.
15:45Nevertheless,
15:46I find this work extremely interesting.
15:48And of course,
15:49what I like most
15:50is seeing a happy client
15:52who, in the end,
15:53simply no longer feels pain when walking.
15:57And while I continue digging and exploring,
15:59I think the tea lovers
16:00have already finished
16:01more than one pack of cookies,
16:02because this video is over 30 minutes long.
16:06I want to say a little about Grandma's shoes,
16:08which I showed at the very beginning.
16:11So she came in
16:12what seemed like simple cloth slippers.
16:14But even for these cloth slippers,
16:16of course,
16:17her foot doesn't really fit.
16:19Because her foot is already aged,
16:21obviously deformed,
16:22and the nails were pressing too,
16:24making the condition worse each time.
16:26And I also found out from her grandson
16:29that, of course,
16:30she walks around her garden at home
16:32in regular galoshes.
16:34Well, I mean,
16:35they're rubber,
16:36often with a toe.
16:38And I can say for sure
16:39that any standard classic galoshes
16:42have a slightly narrow toe.
16:44I also had a village.
16:46I also had a summer house.
16:48And I used to wear those galoshes too,
16:50so I know how narrow they are in the front.
16:52That's why they don't work either.
16:54I suggested to my grandson
16:55to buy Crocs for his grandmother,
16:57even if they're not original,
16:59just similar ones,
17:00so that they have that kind of toe shape,
17:03something quite roomy.
17:05Because she really needs it a lot,
17:07especially since one of her toes
17:08now overlaps another,
17:10and she needs a bit more space in her shoes.
17:13I hope they will follow all my recommendations
17:16and definitely come back after some time.
17:19But I hope it will be in about three or four months,
17:21give or take.
17:22When something grows back,
17:24a little more for grandma.
17:25We'll try to clean it out more thoroughly.
17:27And we'll also have at least
17:29some basic blood test results on hand.
17:31So that at least I understand
17:33what I should be worried about
17:34and what I shouldn't.
17:36Let's continue from here.
17:37As you can see,
17:39there's no end in sight on the big toe.
17:41I'm still peeling off the remnants
17:42of our nail and strips.
17:44So it's really porous and layered.
17:47Kind of reminds me of, well, myself.
17:49It often looks like a rotten stump or wood.
17:52But these are exactly the kinds of changes
17:53in your nails that you need to pay attention to.
17:56If something looks a bit like firewood,
17:58that's a very bad sign.
18:00You need to get some tests done for that.
18:02But as I mentioned earlier with grandma,
18:05no one is going to do that.
18:06The goal is simply to make her life
18:09a little easier and more pleasant.
18:11So just keep watching
18:12as I keep working on all of this.
18:15From this point on,
18:16I'm speeding up the video a bit
18:18because it's turning into
18:19some really, really long content.
18:21And at this point,
18:22I simply start running out of words.
18:24Let me know in the comments
18:25if you don't mind or have time.
18:27Just write something.
18:28I really like it when you do.
18:30And of course,
18:31maybe write something to this grandma as well.
18:34I know they'll be watching
18:35because it turns out
18:36the grandma was brought by her grandson
18:39whose wife watches my channel.
18:41So I'm taking this opportunity.
18:43Of course, I want to say hello to her
18:45and also send her my respect and admiration.
18:47Honestly, for the fact that they got together,
18:50came here, spent their time
18:52and gave their grandma
18:53such a wonderful, amazing gift.
18:56I'm always so, so happy
18:57to see the results of my work
18:59in the form of messages like this
19:01because it shows me
19:03that people are watching,
19:04people are coming,
19:05people care,
19:06and that's just amazing and wonderful.
19:09If there are any podologists watching me,
19:11I really hope that you also have days like this
19:14when you either film content
19:15or just have these moments.
19:17I know some people have days of good deeds
19:20when they see pensioners
19:21and either charge less
19:23or do it for free.
19:24In general, that's really great.
19:26It's really wonderful
19:27and I truly support all of you in this.
19:29People write to me saying,
19:31oh, Aliona,
19:32your podology is so expensive.
19:34Or, I don't know,
19:35let's do some kind of charity work.
19:37I want to say that my charity looks like this.
19:40I'm always very glad
19:41and happy to be helpful to people.
19:46And I encourage everyone to do the same.
19:49I mean, share what you can,
19:50share what you have the opportunity to share.
19:53For example, I can share my skills.
19:55I can share some content with you
19:57or with certain people.
19:58I can make life better and easier.
20:01And I think that's really, really great.
20:04The lyrical digression has ended.
20:06Whoever heard me did.
20:08And that's wonderful.
20:09And I'll keep delighting you with this cleaning
20:12and, of course, grandma too.
20:14Here is this second finger.
20:16By the way,
20:17it was actually pretty difficult
20:18because her deformation
20:19was pressed right up against the cuticle
20:21and the skin was already like that.
20:23Well, it's so thin,
20:25it's so delicate,
20:25almost like parchment.
20:27Maybe you could even call it that.
20:28I was so afraid, God forbid,
20:30to accidentally hurt her somewhere.
20:32But thank God,
20:33everything worked out for me
20:35and everything went very, very smoothly.
20:38Also, jumping ahead in the video,
20:40I want to say that, of course,
20:42I didn't suggest any correction systems,
20:45any treatment, none of that.
20:46I didn't suggest anything like that.
20:50Yes, it was possible.
20:51But I'm certain they won't do it.
20:53I just wanted to make things
20:54a bit simpler for grandma.
20:56And also, just a reminder for you,
20:58I will definitely leave the names
20:59of the tools, devices, bits,
21:01and so on under the video.
21:04And all you need to do
21:05is just find them on websites
21:07or marketplaces.
21:10Honestly, I'm just begging you,
21:11please don't ask me
21:12how to find the official website
21:13of KMIS or anyone else.
21:16It's very, very simple.
21:17Right now, while I'm cleaning up,
21:19I can tell you that
21:20you just open a search engine,
21:22a search engine,
21:23I don't know,
21:23maybe Yandex.mail,
21:25whatever you use.
21:26And you just type it in there.
21:28For example,
21:29Curette.
21:3220,
21:32and you won't believe it,
21:33a website will pop up right away.
21:35You'll immediately get
21:36all the links to marketplaces
21:37if they exist,
21:38to websites,
21:39to partner sites,
21:40and so on.
21:41So everything will be there.
21:42Or type in set
21:44of carbide burrs,
21:45KMIS number two,
21:47for cleaning specifically rod corns.
21:49This is the burr
21:50I'm working with right now.
21:51And I assure you,
21:52the first site you'll be offered
21:53will be KMIS online.
21:55That's exactly the official KMIS website,
21:58the one that's definitely original
21:59and definitely official.
22:01And use it to your heart's content.
22:03By the way,
22:04I actually recommend
22:05to everyone watching,
22:06everyone who works
22:07and often looks for articles and links,
22:10to start learning
22:11how to search for products
22:12this way from now on.
22:13When someone briefly mentions
22:15or shows you
22:15a little bit of something,
22:16because very soon
22:18in our favorite band, Graham,
22:19we won't have the official ability
22:21to leave advertisements.
22:23And for you,
22:24does this mean
22:25that I won't be able
22:26to make money from advertising?
22:27It will mean
22:28that I won't be able
22:29to officially give you links
22:30or redirect you anywhere,
22:31because this will be prohibited
22:33starting from September 1st.
22:35So it's better
22:36to keep your eyes open
22:37if the instrument number
22:38appears on screen somewhere,
22:40or if I casually mention
22:42which instrument it is
22:43without emphasizing it.
22:44Pay attention to that.
22:46I recommend paying attention to this,
22:48watching for it,
22:49and immediately searching for it.
22:51Now everyone will have to learn
22:53to find links and tools
22:54on their own.
22:55Well, basically,
22:56just like we used to do before.
22:58In the past,
22:59when nothing was advertised
23:00or shown,
23:00we would see something,
23:02take a screenshot,
23:03search for it,
23:04and dig around extensively.
23:05So we're going back to basics,
23:07learning to do everything
23:08the same way we used to.
23:10Back to our content.
23:11I'm continuing the cleanup.
23:13You won't believe it.
23:14It's like an unlimited finger.
23:16That means it's still not over yet.
23:18But you can already see
23:20how much pity she has.
23:21The bed,
23:23I mean what was happening
23:24with her toe at first,
23:25since she wore pretty tight shoes
23:27all her life.
23:28Well, actually,
23:29those were times of shortages.
23:30I don't blame her for that.
23:32It's just how things were.
23:34The first thing that started happening
23:36to her was her nails began to curl.
23:38Most likely,
23:39she suffered from this
23:40throughout her life
23:41and experienced a lot of discomfort.
23:44As nothing was being done,
23:45the pressure on her nails persisted.
23:47As a result,
23:49we have a condition
23:50called onychrogryphosis.
23:52That is,
23:53it's when the nail thickens
23:54and the cells of the nail plate
23:56start growing,
23:57not forward as usual,
23:58but in completely different directions.
24:00Sideways,
24:01upward,
24:02downward,
24:03wherever.
24:04Basically,
24:04in other words,
24:05they grow chaotically.
24:06And then these cells
24:08start piling up on each other.
24:10And that's how we get
24:11that very thick yellow nail,
24:13kind of like a beak,
24:14or as some people compare it,
24:15like a huge,
24:16thick,
24:17yellow nail.
24:18That's basically what happens.
24:20Inside,
24:21there's compression of the nail plate
24:22and overgrowth from above.
24:24She has onychrogryphosis.
24:25This layer gets thicker
24:27over the years.
24:28The toe starts to shift to the side
24:30and overlaps the second toe.
24:32Remember,
24:33this is all caused by wearing
24:34tight, uncomfortable,
24:35pointed toe shoes.
24:36And it turns out that the nail bed
24:38gradually,
24:39over some period of time,
24:40over several years,
24:42starts to get compressed.
24:43And this nail,
24:44it's like it's being squeezed
24:46in a vice from both sides
24:47more and more each time.
24:49And that's how we end up
24:50with this result.
24:52Right here in the sinuses,
24:54I didn't even reach the end,
24:55meaning I don't know where it is.
24:57I kept filing and filing.
24:59And since my buri is quite strong,
25:00you see,
25:01it removes a lot,
25:02really a lot.
25:03I was really worried
25:04at those moments.
25:05I thought that I probably needed
25:07to stop somewhere around now
25:09because it could end
25:10at any moment.
25:12Although visually,
25:13it's really yellow
25:13and it still seems very dense.
25:15So most likely,
25:16it's still in the sinuses,
25:18deeper inside.
25:19All of this has been building up
25:21for years,
25:22if not decades.
25:23Although, of course,
25:24I hope that's not the case.
25:27So, of course,
25:28I stopped in time,
25:29but just look.
25:30Yes, I just tapped on Yuletka.
25:33Look how hard,
25:34yellow and solid it is.
25:36It all built up there for her.
25:39There were also a few attempts here
25:41when I tried to drill
25:42or cut something out,
25:43but none of it turned out well.
25:45So it still wasn't going away.
25:47And I finally decided to stop
25:49and then,
25:50armed with tweezers,
25:51continue.
25:52I'm trying to remove
25:53whatever can at least
25:55be removed somehow.
25:56But again,
25:57as you can see,
25:58I keep catching on things
25:59and everything is holding on
26:00very, very tightly.
26:02That's why,
26:03you know,
26:03the perfect is the enemy
26:04of the good.
26:04The main thing is to know
26:05your limits in everything
26:06and just stop in time.
26:08So let's see how everything
26:09we did turned out
26:10in the end.
26:12So we finished a bit more
26:14off camera
26:14because it actually
26:15takes a lot of work.
26:17But in the end,
26:18this is the kind of cleaning
26:19we got.
26:20The nails look,
26:22well,
26:22I think much better.
26:24This is how much
26:24fell into my tray
26:25and that's only
26:26what I managed to catch.
26:28Some of it
26:28ended up on the apron,
26:29some got sucked up
26:30by the extractor
26:31and some I threw away
26:32long ago
26:32because I got up
26:33about 250 million times.
26:35But this is about
26:37the intermediate result
26:38we have at the moment.
26:40We'll await their return.
26:42As promised,
26:43here's the bed.
26:44Take a look at
26:45how much it has been compressed.
26:47Look at how huge
26:48the deformation is here.
26:50So basically,
26:51I was digging,
26:51well,
26:52I don't know,
26:52a burrow
26:53or maybe a tunnel.
26:54It's hard for me
26:55to answer
26:56but overall
26:56it was a very
26:57unusual experience,
26:59a really serious job.
27:01That's why
27:01you see
27:02on the ring finger
27:03is that very capillary
27:04I was talking about.
27:06So please give me
27:07your feedback
27:07in the comments.
27:08Leave me some likes
27:09and comments.
27:10There's something there
27:11so I know
27:11I didn't spend
27:12three and a half hours
27:13editing all this
27:14for nothing.
27:15And by the way,
27:17this is just
27:17the first leg
27:18I still have
27:18to edit
27:19the second one.
27:21That's all
27:21for today.
27:22This is Aliona
27:23signing off.
27:24Thanks for watching.
27:25Bye.
