I'm confused to hear Jess say she won't get any income for the time she needs off work... normally after a surgery like this you'd be signed off sick and get SSP at the very least. (I know SSP is not in any way generous, or enough, but it's better than nothing at all.)
As much as I disagree with how she framed the whole 'I can't get the reduction on the NHS', I do think it's obvious how much of a difference this will make for her and I hope she feels better about herself afterwards.
I agree, more regular shorter videos might be better than the 40/ 50 minute marathons!
