♪♪ OKAY, SO,
SHE'S FINISHED, AND SHE'S IN
THE RECOVERY ROOM. I'M GONNA TAKE YOU
BACK THERE. -OKAY.
-OH, OKAY. Victoria: I'M JUST GLAD
IT'S OVER BECAUSE I KNOW MY MOM HAD A LOT OF STRESS
ABOUT HAVING THE SURGERY. YEAH, IT WAS GOOD. THAT'S MY PARENTS.
-OHH. Theresa:
AH! HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF. THANK GOD.
THE SURGERY IS OVER WITH. EVERYTHING IS GREAT. I SURVIVED. NOW I HAVE TO MAKE SURE
SOMETHING ELSE SURVIVED. I WANTED TO SEE HOW MY HAIR'S
GONNA POP UP, RIGHT? YEAH. I'M GONNA
TAKE IT OFF. WOW, YEAH. -HOW'S THAT?
-OH. -LOOK AT THAT, RIGHT?
-THAT'S LITERALLY THAT -- -IT CAME RIGHT BACK.
-YEAH. I MEAN, LOOK, I FEEL GREAT NOW.
THE SURGERY IS OVER. I REALLY DON'T HAVE
A LOT OF PAIN. I FEEL REALLY GOOD. BUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS? WHEN YOU'RE UNDER ANESTHESIA
STILL IN YOUR SYSTEM, YOUR BREATHING IS
A LITTLE BIT SHALLOW. LET'S SEE HOW YOU DO
WITHOUT IT. I DON'T WANT TO
BREATHE SHALLOW. NO. YOU'RE DOING GOOD,
THOUGH. BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN I FEEL, LIKE, DEAD PEOPLE. YEAH, LIKE, SO I FELT THAT
YOU MISSED SOMEONE'S PASSING, LIKE THEY'VE BEEN IN
ANOTHER COUNTRY WHEN THEY DIED. YEAH.
RIGHT? WELL, ACTUALLY, MY UNCLE. MY NAME IS J.R., AND I'M FROM
QUEENS VILLAGE, NEW YORK. I'M A STAFF NURSE HERE AT
NORTH SHORE AMBULATORY SURGERY. CAN YOU WIGGLE
YOUR TOE FOR ME? I DON'T BELIEVE IN MEDIUM
'CAUSE OF MY RELIGIOUS BELIEF. OH, SO THAT'S WHAT IT IS. IT WAS YOUR UNCLE
CAUSING MY SHALLOW BREATHING. [ LAUGHTER ] HE DIDN'T WANT YOU TO FEEL
BAD ABOUT NOT BEING THERE WHEN HE DIED.
OH. AND VERY PROUD OF YOU. WE WERE REALLY CLOSE
BECAUSE MY MOM USED TO WORK AS A TEACHER IN THE PHILIPPINES,
AND HE TAKES CARE OF US WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP. HE'S THE ONE THAT FEEDS US,
HE'S THE ONE MAKE SURE THAT WE GET TO SCHOOL. I CONSIDER HIM AS A FATHER. Theresa:
YOUR GRANDMA CAME FORWARD. SO, YOUR GRANDMOTHER
AND YOUR UNCLE, THEY KNOW ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER,
SAID SHE'S VERY BEAUTIFUL. SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL EYES. SHE'S LIKE... SO, IF YOU FEEL LIKE
THAT THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER,
SHE'S GOT BEAUTIFUL EYES. THAT'S ALL THEY KEEP SAYING. I HAD A GOOSE BUMP. [ LAUGHS ] J.R.: IT MAKES ME DAY
REALLY COMPLETE KNOWING THAT MY UNCLE
IS VERY PROUD OF ME. IT GIVES ME MOTIVATION
TO, LIKE, YOU KNOW, BE BETTER MYSELF. NOW THAT I HEARD THAT
SHE'S REALLY SENSING SPIRIT, I WANT TO BELIEVE
THAT IT'S REAL. LISTEN, YOU GAVE ME
A PAIN MEDICATION, I GAVE YOU A READING. [ LAUGHTER ]
