Yes, she would have been, as when patients are extubated (breathing tube out) they are under acute observation for quite some time and have oxygen on, which I don’t recall was in place in the first video until much later, so she must have been quite some time after all this had occurred… possibly many hours. Also I would think in the acute area of ICU, where staff are literally at the bedside and not off to the side or behind a curtain, I don’t believe the staff would have let her film in the acute period post ‘tube out’.I agree. I think she wasn't too different from her normal self. The only difference was that she was more vulnerable here. But I wonder how soon after waking from anesthesia she picked up the phone to film herself. I think she was awake on and off for a while before she did that.
You know I think her emotion in that first video is raw and her distress at not having Matt or Amma in sight is real. Clearly she was distressed by not having seen them, but she knew she was being well cared for shown by her communication with nursing staff …Yes, she would have been, as when patients are extubated (breathing tube out) they are under acute observation for quite some time and have oxygen on, which I don’t recall was in place in the first video until much later, so she must have been quite some time after all this had occurred… possibly many hours.

Her thought process that said ‘get the camera’ is sad … her most private of private times self videoed. Sad
