00:03 I might have to widen it a little bit.
00:05 He's not going to fit.
00:07 I knew this wasn't going to be easy.
00:10 But now I'm starting to see the reality of it.
00:13 Like seeing all these lines, I'm already
00:15 feeling out of my comfort zone.
00:17 Everyone is staring at me.
00:18 To keep a positive mindset, I'm just
00:25 trying to focus on how surprised Dr. Now is going to be.
00:29 When he sees me in this office in person.
00:32 But right now, that's getting harder to do.
00:35 Because my body is starting to hurt.
00:38 And I can feel my breath starting to get short.
00:40 How am I even going to fit in my seat?
00:48 Aren't seats on planes really small?
00:51 I think that's my worst fear, is getting stuck in the aisle.
00:55 And then they had to call a paramedic to cut me out.
00:59 [BABY CRYING]
01:02 I didn't realize it was going to be this hard.
01:13 And to be honest, I'm not feeling quite as confident
01:15 as I was a few hours ago, before we left the house.
01:17 [CHATTER]
01:20 Just making it to my seat is the first milestone.
01:36 So maybe all the training I did will be
01:38 enough to see me through this.
01:41 But right now, I would do anything
01:43 to be at home in my living room.
01:44 And I will see you right here.
01:46 [CHATTER]
01:49 [BEEPING]
01:52 [CHATTER]
01:56 26 right here.
02:12 [CHATTER]
02:14 This side.
02:15 Oh.
02:17 Oh.
02:19 [SIGHS]
02:21 I'm already very tired.
02:31 And my knees are exploding with pain.
02:33 And what am I supposed to do if I need to use the bathroom?
02:36 [CHATTER]
02:39 We will be taking off shortly.
02:40 Please bring your seat back up.
02:41 Close your tray table, fasten your seat belt,
02:43 and return your headrest and footrest
02:45 to their original position.
02:46 [CHATTER]
02:49 But I have no choice except to hold out.
02:53 Because if Dr. Now can't help me, I'm going to die anyway.
