When you're a reptile person, it's in you through and through. Comparisons I make are snake or lizard based often, dreams...snakes. Not bad either, more like there's a hot snake that needs help...how can I do it? In my dreams apparently there aren't experience venomous snake helpers because , I may be brave and willing in my dream, but as an awake person, I would help it all I can but I am no vet...oh and water!! I want to give all of the wild snakes and lizards water.
So proud of Ed on all fronts here. He's such a doting and caring husband, and he went from refusing to even be on camera to chatting up a storm in front of it. We need ourselves a soft king like Ed.

Average before: 14.5/10 = 1.45 Average after: 20/10 = 2 5 items increased in strength after surgery, 2 decreased in strength, 2 stayed the same, and 1 was replaced with a different item. Regardless of the data, it's clear you can identify the strong smelling items much more easily now. I'm glad it went well and I hope you have a smooth recovery!
Your nose surgery healed so well! I went through the procedure too and it's no joke, the fact that you worked only a week later is super impressive. I'm so happy your smell came back! Mine only came back partially, but beforehand I couldn't smell ANYTHING so a tiny bit of smell is better than none lol.
You need to have her smell the baby snakes! She's always talking about how she loves baby smell... I'm interested to see if it smells different to her now.
I thought the SAME thing, but unfortunately there are no new babies right now. They usually tend to lose that "baby smell" by their first shed. We'll just have to wait until the next hatching season.
It reminds me of my sister after she finally got her tonsils out, except for her it was taste. She suffered with constant tonsillitis as a small child, but due to changes in recommended care she wasn't offered a tonsillectomy. Then when she was 16 and sitting her GCSE exams ( UK end of schooling qualifications) she developed quinsy and had to have her tonsils out as an emergency. After that she suddenly went from someone who would only eat a very small number of foods to someone who loved food and cooking and became quite a foodie.

My husband had his septum fixed 2 years ago now. It was the best decision he's ever made. He can smell, taste, and more importantly he can sleep. The best moment ever was he came home while I was cooking and asked what the smell was. He had never been able to smell my cooking before. It was life changing for him. So happy for you. The joy on your face after noticing you could smell is amazing! So happy for you!
A long time ago, a friend of ours, Chuck, had to have major nose surgery due to chronic sinusitis and allergies and other stuff. Anyway, this was back when they carried charts, not iPads. So Chuck is in the recovery room and his husband, Mike, was leaning against the wall near the door. A nurse comes in with a chart. She glances at him, then the chart, and says "I have the wrong one, be right back". Meanwhile Mike is laughing hysterically. Apparently the chart had a huge red sticker that said "Watch for vaginal bleeding". Nearly 30yrs later and they still laugh about it.
@@miaolindias True, however if it’s 30 years ago it would’ve probably been more taboo back then and I don’t know how trans people would have been classed in hospitals back then.
Emily looks SOOO different with her hair back and no fringe! And ed has come such a long way, i remember when ed avoided being on camera and now he is so comfortable seeming!
I hope I remember this when the hatching begins. Did I miss the garter snakes? Suddenly I don't think I remember any live births this year... Could just be me.
@@Nekogal21 It's a shame really, some of my favorites to rewatch are of the baby garters. It's fun to watch the hide'n'seek part, but my favorite is convincing babies to eat.
I had my hearing corrected and my mother unfortunately didnt record me but i had never heard rain. It woke me up and i thought thousands of bugs were hitting my window. Congrats on the new nose and yes your nose is different its no longer slim
That's really cool. I've always loved videos of people who get their hearing or eyesight corrected and can experience parts of the world that they've never been able to before.
I was confused about why you still seemed to be in recovery recently, thank you for the explanation! Your new mixed-media nose looks exactly the same to me, but I'm bad at details XD Also it is SO COOL that you've got some Carlos now.
Oh my God, Emily I am right there with you. I had septoplasty in turbinate reduction, and now that I am six months later, I feel like I am needing it again….. I am right there with you, and I am looking at a second nasal surgery
I know, she seemed a little nervous to me pre-surgery, but she's such a teacher (maybe some parents are like this too?), she just embraced it being an educational experience 100%. I think if I was a nervous kid in one of her programs, she would be so reassuring all the time.
I know I've had deviated septum since I was a kid, but for the last... 15+ years(?) I've had almost constant congestion. In the last 2+ years, it's gotten really bad, and at one point had a 4 month sinus infection. Using a sinus rinse pretty often has helped, but honestly not as much as would really help me. Makes me wonder if there's something more significant that can be done
So interesting to watch! My son was born with a cleft lip and palete and he has a deviated septum also. He's looking forward to this surgery in a few years and finally being able to breathe through his nose. Thanks Emily!
Yeah, I always was curious how long they've known each other. I think this means they've known each other for about 13 years. I know they've been married for 9.
Emily knew Eds dad first as a customer at the pet store she worked at. Then Ed came with his dad one time. They said this in a video a couple of years ago.
Queenbee is spot on, I literally just watched this interview/podcast an hour ago. If anyone wants to look it up, they told the story of how they met on an episode of the Port City Pythons Podcast.
I know the whole story has been done in a couple videos... Emily has said Ed was her first boyfriend, and they met while she worked at PetSmart. There's also a pic of the wedding in one of those- Cheyenne was the ring bearer and Emily's bouquet matched her 💙💛 I think the one video might be the one with the thumbnail "I worked in a cave!"
it's just natural to talk about something you do a lot , taking care of snakes daily ofc even when u have no idea what's going on you would have snakes in your brain still if I woke up like that I'd properly tell my doctors how I gotta finishing grinding for that new weapon in the MMO I play , or maybe I'd talk to them about computer science and programming games . since I tend to work a lot on computers and also regularly play games xD
Your nose is so cute! I can definitely see a difference from beginning of video then jumping to the end! So happy that it worked for you and no more surgeries.
I am very happy for Emily that her sense of smell have improved, but for me the best part of this video is seeing Ed confident and seemingly relaxed in front of the camera. Well done. You guys just get better and better.
This is the second time in Emily's life where she suddenly had a sense that she had never experienced before. First she got glasses so she could see, and then she got surgery so she can smell. That's crazy
I had that surgery a couple of years ago. It made such a huge difference for me. I hope you get good results too. It keeps getting better up to 6 months later so be patient.
@@jaymiedivinagracia1977 I didn't notice any difference in my sense of taste. I use a cpap machine that goes over my nose so it was life changing to breathe better when I sleep.
A friend of mine went through that. Even though I couldn't really even tell the difference, it made SUCH a positive difference in her life! The headaches, back pain, how it affected her general mobility all improved drastically!! Taken care during recovery. You've likely got MUCH to look forward to after healing!🥰
I was born with a deviated septum. My doctor said it was the worst he has ever seen. Happy to know you are recovering well and we can breathe better together!
Aw you can tell Emily was scared about the surgery... When she said it was scheduled for that day I could hear her voice tremble a little but then she pushed it away and kept filming! Emily is so so strong
I didn’t notice much difference in your nose, you look adorable as always! I’m glad the surgery went well and it’s awesome that you turned this experience into a reptile related experiment 😂 Ed also did a wonderful job on the solo video clips and I’m sure there was a lot going on behind the scenes while Emily was recovering, so thank you Ed for being there for Emily and all the animals!
I saw the thumbnail and thought Emily was eating a snake and freaked out. 😂😂😂😂 She would never I kept telling myself. Emily, thank you for not eating a reptile.😅
This is a year later and Emily's voice is lovely and clear without the congested sinus/allergy inflection pre-surgery. And I think her new nose looks great!! Nicely shaped without radically changing her beautiful features.
I had no idea that Emily had trouble smelling! She talks about smelling musk and the baby smell and when she opens up rotten eggs. This was really interesting!
it's more subtle, i think i remember it being brought up with some chocolate or something in one of their (many) fanmail opening videos. had no idea it was due to a deviated septum until now tho!
I'm a weirdo so I like weird medical stuff. I'm SUPER impressed by how clean your incisions/stitches were. Kudos to your incredibly talented surgeon! All that aside, I'm so glad that your nose works better- for better or for worse.
I had my galbladdar out and had to have vein surgery done because I was unlucky enough to get lymphedema...After that second surgery my lungs filled with liquid and I was hacking and coughing and could not breathe. They kept me overnight. That was my first hospital stay.
Your nose does look a little different at the tip. So glad you can smell again. I bet food tastes so much better. After getting my tubes tied, I remember asking the nurse in the recovery what he enjoys doing and that he was a good person. I remember he was in school and I encourage him to continue because knowledge is forever. I also remember when they were taking me back, I didn't have my glasses and my doctor came up and I said, "I'll take you at your word because I can't see a thing."
I'm a registered donor and I can't believe it never occurred to me before that my future recipients might actually want to know whose organs and/or tissues they have in them. I should write a little autobiography and have it stipulated in my will that they are to be given that document too.
Ed: "I don't know who thought they smelled like Taco Bell, but they were going to the wrong place to get Taco Bell." I'm dying!🤣🤣🤣 Emily, glad your surgery went well and you can breathe (and smell) better. 😊❤
Even if she is still not fully there after the surgery, one thing on her mind is "Snakes".🤣. This Passion for Animals and especially Reptiles is why I love you guys.

It would be interesting to get an update a few months later to see how your sense of smell evolves. I have a good sense of smell usually but I have lost part of it several times on and off because of sinus issues, and it's not unusual for it to take months to really come back. Also, since smell and taste are closely related, maybe your sense of taste will change a bit too! I've always found those two senses fascinating :)
Something I never understand is how foods meant to smell so horrible, are supposedly so good to so many people considering how closely smell and taste are.
@@CodaBlair it could be because people have different senses of smell! For example, I really like the smell of blue cheese and don't think it smells terrible (while other people do) so it makes sense I would like the taste of it, on the other hand, I really hate the smell of Sencha green tea and can't drink it, but I know plenty of people who both love the smell of it and the taste of it!
Hi! Glad to know your surgery went well!! Thank you for being so awesome and inspiring! Also great job incorporating your real life to do a study about reptiles! Very creative thought process.
Oh Owch, I feel for you- I had something similar with one of my sinuses and had a lot of stuff done to fix my nose and sinuses all at once including a septoplasty. Recovery is tough! My sympathies! But you'll find that with custom sinuses afterward, you'll be stunned how much better your immune system may work. I've turned out to be vastly better at dodging colds and getting over sinus infections without having to resort to antibiotics, even *with* my autoimmune issues. May you delight in freer breathing! (the No Feet joke is my favorite) Edit to add: As a professional medical patient, I can attest: THEY DO palpate people! If they have you lie down during a physical and kind of pat and prod your tummy that's what they're doing. Making sure nothing feels out of place or weird.
I'm working on getting the same surgery as I have a collapsed sinus and deviated septum! Glad you got it done, I'm sure it feels a world better. Mine they'd probably have to break considering how crooked it is lol. And also, the Snakes don't have Feet joke is the best one so that's good lol.

Emily, I ended up with a piece of bovine pericardium in my chest after my crush injury. I've had nose surgery 4 times, it's not fun but hopefully it will help! I still can't smell much because the first sinus surgery took too much tissue out, back in dinosaur days. Glad you're recovered!
I feel you about the needles, I have very small veins which makes taking blood/giving IVs very difficult. I got stuck like 5 times the last time I went to the hospital because they had so much trouble finding a vein.
As someone who has also had a rhinoplasty for a deviated septum just so you know it takes like 3 months to actually fully smell like a "normal" person lol 😆 my mom laughed so hard the first time I had smelled a fart properly
Thank you for sharing this! I'm so glad it all went well! Your fans love your videos not just for the reptiles but for you two awesome people as well, so thanks for the life update, and so glad to hear it went well!
Thank you for sharing your surgery journey with us. One little note - musk turtles have glands where the plastron and carapace meet that produce the odor. It doesn't come from the cloaca like in snakes.
I've had breathing troubles for many years now, and suspect I have a deviated septum, and will probably need some kind of surgery, and watching this video kinda worries me now, cause im worried that they might have to go as extreme as they did with Emily...
Thank you for taking us on this journey I love having a look into your personal life!!! So glad you came through surgery sucks it didn’t work the first time so glad it worked the second!!!!!! Best part you bringing up reptiles while you come out of heavy anaesthesia just shows how invested you are in your life’s work!!!!!!!!!
Whoever your surgeon was, they were a real artist. Those stitches were brilliant! Really fine work! You're going to have little to no scarring whatsoever, from what I could see! I hope when I go in for my top surgery, I get a surgeon as good as yours.
Congratulations on your new ability to smell, Emily, and I'm glad the two surgeries went well. :) My mother went through surgery recently as well and after your first surgery, when you were shivering in the car, you reminded me of her. I just wanted to give you a warm blanket and a big hug. I also called my mom as I'd been hit in the feels. I'm glad you're alright. :)
Seeing so much of your faces rather than just your bodies... you are *beautiful* people. Like I've always seen you two as I do with anybody else who is beautiful in how they care for others or the animals under their care. You are that, quite clearly, but you're gorgeous. Both of you. You have amazing and personable eyes and also just the clearest skin that makes me jealous. You two are amazing. Genuinely, in every way. I have no idea what your nose looked like before, however, because I was too caught up in how pretty your eyes were
(Not finished with the video yet, so it's possible I mention some things that get mentioned later on, but I just got to the part where Emily explains how the second surgery works and what they do that makes it invasive.) This makes me never want to complain about my nose again. Surgery is my biggest fear and just hearing how they go about fixing a nose... hoo boi. I used to have a lot of problems with my nose but then one day, last year I think, I had literally just walked into my friend's house and I felt something drip from my nose. I touched it and it was blood. I had NEVER had a nosebleed before so I was kind of panicking. Because this was a severe nose bleed. Like I was choking on blood, it was that bad. Not to mention I had to go to the ER because it just wouldn't stop. It lasted like 2 hours. Ever since that day, I have been able to smell and breathe so much easier. I have no clue how it happened or what happened to make it do that, but I guess I had some kind of blockage that just hit its limit that day. I now get triggered anytime I smell fresh blood (like, if it's a lot of blood where there's a clear smell) because that was a very traumatic moment for me. I thought I was gonna choke on so much blood that I would die. I'm just glad that my nose fixed itself that way and I didn't have to go through surgery. But I'm so glad yours was, eventually, successful ! Now you can smell all the "wonders" of working with reptiles lol. Also, imagine how much stronger the baby snake smell will be !!! Also, I know you breed rats for feeding and I just gotta say... the baby rat smell is pretty top tier as well. Not to mention some rats can smell like very enjoyable things such as maple syrup, a bonfire, etc. I've had quite a few that smell like maple syrup lol. (Rat owner here, the bestie is the snake owner. I do not breed mine, they are solely pets.)
If you want a more in depth explanation of the procedure, I know Alex from Prettypastelplease has a series documenting how her first nose job went, and when she had to go in for her revision (like Emily did). She hasn't posted the 1 year update from the second operation yet, but it's really informative and she makes it fun and lighthearted. I suggest her specifically because she's an avid bird lover!
It's so unbelievable how much more comfortable Ed is in front of the camera. I remember the early days and now he's just chatting us up.
He's a treasure for sure!
Agreed, his journey has been so fun to watch!
right she'd have to talk him into it he was so shy!
He touches his hair a lot which can sometimes be a tell that someone’s nervous but he has definitely warmed up to the camera 😂

I have a bad sense of smell too, which is probably why I handle bodily stuff well as a nurse.
It can definately be a blessing and a hinder.
I swear my sense of smell improved around the age of 21. That year my roommates and I managed to break our garbage disposal, add more food before we realized, and leave the whole thing to rot, so I spent an afternoon carefully fishing out broken glass and rotten food with tongs and chopsticks (NEVER put your hand in a garbage disposal!). As you might imagine, it smelled really bad, but the whole time I was excitedly saying "this is so cool, I was hungry before, and now I'm not hungry!" and "I just gagged! I never gagged from a smell before!"
Luckily my roommates already knew I was weird, they were just happy someone was fixing the garbage disposal. 😂
I don't actually know why my sense of smell improved that year, the only thing I can think of is that year I was finally medicated for anxiety and depression, which I had all my life. There is research that suggests depression and a lack of smell tend to coincide, but I think scientists assume the causation is opposite - that lacking a sense of smell tends to increase your chance of depression, not that depression makes your sense of smell worse.

Ed said the first dead mouse didn't smell like much, so take that one with a pinch of salt
I love seeing how comfortable Ed is on camera now
Yes!!! Me too!!
I just came to the comments to say that! It's so nice to see.
Yes, it's so inspiring! I'm camera-shy and working on it; it's cool to see how the confidence shows in the video :)
same!!
Agreed
My husband had his septum fixed 2 years ago now. It was the best decision he's ever made. He can smell, taste, and more importantly he can sleep. The best moment ever was he came home while I was cooking and asked what the smell was. He had never been able to smell my cooking before. It was life changing for him. So happy for you. The joy on your face after noticing you could smell is amazing! So happy for you!
he smelled your cooking and got it reversed the next day
i'm sorry i'm sure its lovely i was just joking...
I'm glad for this video and the glimpse we get of all the growth that's happened with Snake Discovery (esp Ed and Emily) these past few years ❤️
Seeing Emily so excited that she can smell better gives my life
A long time ago, a friend of ours, Chuck, had to have major nose surgery due to chronic sinusitis and allergies and other stuff. Anyway, this was back when they carried charts, not iPads. So Chuck is in the recovery room and his husband, Mike, was leaning against the wall near the door. A nurse comes in with a chart. She glances at him, then the chart, and says "I have the wrong one, be right back". Meanwhile Mike is laughing hysterically. Apparently the chart had a huge red sticker that said "Watch for vaginal bleeding". Nearly 30yrs later and they still laugh about it.
TO BE FAIR, he could've been trans lol
Might be watching for that a minute lol
@@miaolindias True, however if it’s 30 years ago it would’ve probably been more taboo back then and I don’t know how trans people would have been classed in hospitals back then.
@@devanward7701 just because they weren't legally married then doesn't mean they aren't legally married now
@@juiceecads3894 I was thinking the same thing lol! His husband now, back then, maybe when they were dating or whatever lol.
Emily looks SOOO different with her hair back and no fringe!
And ed has come such a long way, i remember when ed avoided being on camera and now he is so comfortable seeming!
Right? The channel wouldn't be the same without him on camera now. He adds his own dynamic and sense of humor and he compliments Emily so well.
Yeah I thought she looked really different too! It's crazy how much hairstyles change your face (I know her face was a bit swollen from surgery too)
Can’t help but wonder what your reaction will be next baby season, as you are always talking about baby smell being so wonderful.
Yeah, if that's one of the smells she could really recognize before, it ought to be interesting.
I hope I remember this when the hatching begins.
Did I miss the garter snakes?
Suddenly I don't think I remember any live births this year...
Could just be me.
@Alice Cain I believe they get so many garter snake births now they don't film them
Yess!!!
@@Nekogal21 It's a shame really, some of my favorites to rewatch are of the baby garters. It's fun to watch the hide'n'seek part, but my favorite is convincing babies to eat.
You make such good videos. Love the fun you bring to them whilst making them educational as well.
How about Carter!
Perfect name.
I had a similar surgery 4 years ago. Painful but well worth it!
Glad it was a success!
I can't wait to see how Emily reacts to the new baby snake smell after surgery. Will it be better, worse or not change at all.
Came to the comments for this
@@elizabethdavised91 same
You could see in eds eyes how terrified he was while you where under . He truly loves you 💗 I love your relationship it's so beautiful
I had my hearing corrected and my mother unfortunately didnt record me but i had never heard rain. It woke me up and i thought thousands of bugs were hitting my window. Congrats on the new nose and yes your nose is different its no longer slim
That's really cool. I've always loved videos of people who get their hearing or eyesight corrected and can experience parts of the world that they've never been able to before.
This is the first time I've read someone share their experience hearing rain for the first time. It's pretty cool. Glad you could hear it now.
I was confused about why you still seemed to be in recovery recently, thank you for the explanation! Your new mixed-media nose looks exactly the same to me, but I'm bad at details XD
Also it is SO COOL that you've got some Carlos now.
Oh my God, Emily I am right there with you. I had septoplasty in turbinate reduction, and now that I am six months later, I feel like I am needing it again….. I am right there with you, and I am looking at a second nasal surgery
I hope it goes well.
Emily is always so positive and upbeat which is what makes her vids so lovely and inspiring
😄😄😄
I know, she seemed a little nervous to me pre-surgery, but she's such a teacher (maybe some parents are like this too?), she just embraced it being an educational experience 100%. I think if I was a nervous kid in one of her programs, she would be so reassuring all the time.
I love how both times after anesthesia Emily wakes up and starts talking about snakes to the doctor
I had a similar surgery to help reduce sinus infections, and it was a few weeks before my sense of smell was back to normal.
I know I've had deviated septum since I was a kid, but for the last... 15+ years(?) I've had almost constant congestion. In the last 2+ years, it's gotten really bad, and at one point had a 4 month sinus infection. Using a sinus rinse pretty often has helped, but honestly not as much as would really help me. Makes me wonder if there's something more significant that can be done
My brother also got surgery for his nose and his breathing went back to normal as well
So interesting to watch! My son was born with a cleft lip and palete and he has a deviated septum also. He's looking forward to this surgery in a few years and finally being able to breathe through his nose. Thanks Emily!
Emily: "... a Japanese rat snake because our staff swears they smell like taco bell"
Me: "what taco bell has your staff been eating?!?!?"
Anyone else smile at the confirmation that Ed and Emily knew each other since they were ~ 18, very sweet :).
Yeah, I always was curious how long they've known each other. I think this means they've known each other for about 13 years. I know they've been married for 9.
In the incubator video they mentioned Ed getting the chicken incubator when he was 15, and they already at least knew eachother.
Emily knew Eds dad first as a customer at the pet store she worked at. Then Ed came with his dad one time. They said this in a video a couple of years ago.
Queenbee is spot on, I literally just watched this interview/podcast an hour ago. If anyone wants to look it up, they told the story of how they met on an episode of the Port City Pythons Podcast.
I know the whole story has been done in a couple videos... Emily has said Ed was her first boyfriend, and they met while she worked at PetSmart. There's also a pic of the wedding in one of those- Cheyenne was the ring bearer and Emily's bouquet matched her 💙💛 I think the one video might be the one with the thumbnail "I worked in a cave!"
I love how each time, the first thing she told the doctors was something about snakes 😂
it's just natural to talk about something you do a lot , taking care of snakes daily ofc even when u have no idea what's going on you would have snakes in your brain still
if I woke up like that I'd properly tell my doctors how I gotta finishing grinding for that new weapon in the MMO I play , or maybe I'd talk to them about computer science and programming games . since I tend to work a lot on computers and also regularly play games xD
@@CrimsonAkato I’d immediately start talking about dogs, if not my own dog 😂
One of my favorite parts too!!!!still passionate about her lovely snakes!
Emily's moment of panic when she thought she didn't know what banana smelled like 😂
Your nose is so cute! I can definitely see a difference from beginning of video then jumping to the end! So happy that it worked for you and no more surgeries.
Having just been put under general anesthesia for a cesarean, I appreciate the post-surgery energy, Emily. Sorry it got rough on you!
I am very happy for Emily that her sense of smell have improved, but for me the best part of this video is seeing Ed confident and seemingly relaxed in front of the camera. Well done. You guys just get better and better.
This is the second time in Emily's life where she suddenly had a sense that she had never experienced before. First she got glasses so she could see, and then she got surgery so she can smell. That's crazy
Glad your second surgery went so well!! But I’d love to know what your taste sense is like now, cos part of taste is smell xx
Congrats, Emily! Glad you are doing well after your big surgery!
I had that surgery a couple of years ago. It made such a huge difference for me. I hope you get good results too. It keeps getting better up to 6 months later so be patient.
Does it let you taste better too?
@@jaymiedivinagracia1977 I didn't notice any difference in my sense of taste. I use a cpap machine that goes over my nose so it was life changing to breathe better when I sleep.
As I watch this I am 4 day post op from my breast reduction surgery. I love doing experiments when life gives us changes.
A friend of mine went through that. Even though I couldn't really even tell the difference, it made SUCH a positive difference in her life! The headaches, back pain, how it affected her general mobility all improved drastically!!
Taken care during recovery. You've likely got MUCH to look forward to after healing!🥰
My good friend also just went through a reduction surgery! I’m very happy for you and wish you well!
I’ve always wanted reduction surgery but they won’t let me in case I have kids in the future 😑😑 (don’t plan on getting pregnant EVER)
wishing you a speedy recovery!
got the surgery myself a few years ago, was so worth it. wish they coulda taken it all but it definitely helped with the headaches
It's a bummer that Emily had to go through this, but her joy & excitement at her newly improved sense of smell made me smile!
I was born with a deviated septum. My doctor said it was the worst he has ever seen. Happy to know you are recovering well and we can breathe better together!
Aw you can tell Emily was scared about the surgery... When she said it was scheduled for that day I could hear her voice tremble a little but then she pushed it away and kept filming! Emily is so so strong
Ed, we loved your filming by yourself, it was in no way terrible! Great video as always you two :)
I absolutely loved the way Emily's eyes lit up when she smelled the betadine post surgery! ❤️
I didn’t notice much difference in your nose, you look adorable as always! I’m glad the surgery went well and it’s awesome that you turned this experience into a reptile related experiment 😂 Ed also did a wonderful job on the solo video clips and I’m sure there was a lot going on behind the scenes while Emily was recovering, so thank you Ed for being there for Emily and all the animals!
I saw the thumbnail and thought Emily was eating a snake and freaked out. 😂😂😂😂 She would never I kept telling myself.
Emily, thank you for not eating a reptile.😅
This is a year later and Emily's voice is lovely and clear without the congested sinus/allergy inflection pre-surgery. And I think her new nose looks great!! Nicely shaped without radically changing her beautiful features.
Emily and Ed can make ANYTHING joyful and fascinating! What a gift that we all get to share 🥰
It is nice to see an example of a supportive relationship
Beautifully said!
I like how she is talking about reptiles even though her nose is really sore and especially when she sneeze 🤧 😢
I had no idea that Emily had trouble smelling! She talks about smelling musk and the baby smell and when she opens up rotten eggs. This was really interesting!
it's more subtle, i think i remember it being brought up with some chocolate or something in one of their (many) fanmail opening videos. had no idea it was due to a deviated septum until now tho!
I love the fact that both times Emily woke from surgery she mentioned snakes, very wholesome, very on par with Emily 😂
Thanks for sharing, This says a lot about who you are. Awesome!
I had a “nose job” myself after a basketball injury at age 12. It made a huge difference! Congrats on your new ability to breathe!
OMG the Carlos part was very unexpected. JEEEEZ. I'm glad you're okay and that you and your/Carlos' nose are doing well!
I'm a weirdo so I like weird medical stuff. I'm SUPER impressed by how clean your incisions/stitches were. Kudos to your incredibly talented surgeon!
All that aside, I'm so glad that your nose works better- for better or for worse.
SAME!
I had my galbladdar out and had to have vein surgery done because I was unlucky enough to get lymphedema...After that second surgery my lungs filled with liquid and I was hacking and coughing and could not breathe. They kept me overnight. That was my first hospital stay.
I’m sorry about that I hope you are better now and
I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your nose does look a little different at the tip. So glad you can smell again. I bet food tastes so much better. After getting my tubes tied, I remember asking the nurse in the recovery what he enjoys doing and that he was a good person. I remember he was in school and I encourage him to continue because knowledge is forever. I also remember when they were taking me back, I didn't have my glasses and my doctor came up and I said, "I'll take you at your word because I can't see a thing."
I think they did a little esthetical improvement during the 2nd surgery. I mean why not while you are at it? :D
I'm a registered donor and I can't believe it never occurred to me before that my future recipients might actually want to know whose organs and/or tissues they have in them. I should write a little autobiography and have it stipulated in my will that they are to be given that document too.
This is a fantastic idea!!!
I’m a donor too and I’d definitely put that in my will if I ever die unexpectedly
They censor personal and identity information in letters. My brother was a heart doner when he died and we got a letter from the man that got it.
Ed: "I don't know who thought they smelled like Taco Bell, but they were going to the wrong place to get Taco Bell."
I'm dying!🤣🤣🤣
Emily, glad your surgery went well and you can breathe (and smell) better. 😊❤
Even if she is still not fully there after the surgery, one thing on her mind is "Snakes".🤣.
This Passion for Animals and especially Reptiles is why I love you guys.
It is so good that you can still wear glasses or ounces it will be really hard I hope you are good without the surgery I’m a big fan
Yay for Ed! Thanks for braving the solo video clips for us! 😊 I'm so glad your snoot is fixed Emily! 🙌
hope you recover fast and well. You're so important to me and im glad you can finally smell with the rest of us.
I love how you guys can turn anything into a learning experience.
24:38 I couldn’t be bothered with averages lol but here’s the scores for before and after surgery and the difference between each score…
BEFORE SURGERY-> AFTER SURGERY (the difference)
Poop: 3 -> 4.5 (+1.5)
Betadine: 1 -> 2 (+1)
Mystery liquid (vodka): 1 -> 1 (+0)
Turtle food: 1 -> 2.5 (+1.5)
Gecko food: 3.5 -> 2.5 (-1)
Blue cheese: 3 -> 2 (-1)
Dead mouse: 0 -> 4 (+4 😂)
Regurgitation: 2 -> N/A
Woma snake: 0 -> 0 (+0)
Musk Turtle: 0 -> 1 (+1)
Japanese Rat Snake: N/A -> 0.5 (+0.5)
Can believe she did this! Such a brave person!
It would be interesting to get an update a few months later to see how your sense of smell evolves. I have a good sense of smell usually but I have lost part of it several times on and off because of sinus issues, and it's not unusual for it to take months to really come back.
Also, since smell and taste are closely related, maybe your sense of taste will change a bit too! I've always found those two senses fascinating :)
Something I never understand is how foods meant to smell so horrible, are supposedly so good to so many people considering how closely smell and taste are.
@@CodaBlair it could be because people have different senses of smell! For example, I really like the smell of blue cheese and don't think it smells terrible (while other people do) so it makes sense I would like the taste of it, on the other hand, I really hate the smell of Sencha green tea and can't drink it, but I know plenty of people who both love the smell of it and the taste of it!
@@jacksparrow4058 Yeah. There's also how people get used to the smells of stuff and so quit noticing it, which could be part of it.
@@CodaBlair it can also be based on where you grew up and are used to eating. One word: Durian 😂
Hi! Glad to know your surgery went well!! Thank you for being so awesome and inspiring! Also great job incorporating your real life to do a study about reptiles! Very creative thought process.
Well said 👍😊
Oh Owch, I feel for you- I had something similar with one of my sinuses and had a lot of stuff done to fix my nose and sinuses all at once including a septoplasty. Recovery is tough! My sympathies! But you'll find that with custom sinuses afterward, you'll be stunned how much better your immune system may work. I've turned out to be vastly better at dodging colds and getting over sinus infections without having to resort to antibiotics, even *with* my autoimmune issues. May you delight in freer breathing! (the No Feet joke is my favorite)
Edit to add: As a professional medical patient, I can attest: THEY DO palpate people! If they have you lie down during a physical and kind of pat and prod your tummy that's what they're doing. Making sure nothing feels out of place or weird.
This is such a wholesome video, especially how she gets excited that she can smell things and got them right ;w;
I'm working on getting the same surgery as I have a collapsed sinus and deviated septum! Glad you got it done, I'm sure it feels a world better. Mine they'd probably have to break considering how crooked it is lol. And also, the Snakes don't have Feet joke is the best one so that's good lol.
I’ve never realized how beautiful Ed really is until now! I’m so happy is getting more comfortable in-front of the camera!
Yea, he handsome. They're both good looking, TBH

thank u for that 🙏
@@maquiavelich I made one too Lols..//
Dude thank you
Emily, I ended up with a piece of bovine pericardium in my chest after my crush injury. I've had nose surgery 4 times, it's not fun but hopefully it will help! I still can't smell much because the first sinus surgery took too much tissue out, back in dinosaur days. Glad you're recovered!
Ohh god
I feel you about the needles, I have very small veins which makes taking blood/giving IVs very difficult. I got stuck like 5 times the last time I went to the hospital because they had so much trouble finding a vein.
I need to get this surgery! I have no sense of smell since I took a book to the face at 12 :p I cannot smell anything and it would be so nice!
As someone who has also had a rhinoplasty for a deviated septum just so you know it takes like 3 months to actually fully smell like a "normal" person lol 😆 my mom laughed so hard the first time I had smelled a fart properly
🤣🤣🥰
Yeah, I found that my "strong stomach" was mostly just an inability to really smell bad things. Lol. The one downside of septoplasty.
Hopefully at least your own fart and not someone else’s. 😂
Yeah I kinda wanna see how she thinks farts smell too now 😂
Thank you for sharing this! I'm so glad it all went well! Your fans love your videos not just for the reptiles but for you two awesome people as well, so thanks for the life update, and so glad to hear it went well!
Thank you for sharing your surgery journey with us. One little note - musk turtles have glands where the plastron and carapace meet that produce the odor. It doesn't come from the cloaca like in snakes.
I love how you talk about snakes right out of surgery
I've had breathing troubles for many years now, and suspect I have a deviated septum, and will probably need some kind of surgery, and watching this video kinda worries me now, cause im worried that they might have to go as extreme as they did with Emily...
Thank you for taking us on this journey I love having a look into your personal life!!! So glad you came through surgery sucks it didn’t work the first time so glad it worked the second!!!!!! Best part you bringing up reptiles while you come out of heavy anaesthesia just shows how invested you are in your life’s work!!!!!!!!!
Whoever your surgeon was, they were a real artist. Those stitches were brilliant! Really fine work! You're going to have little to no scarring whatsoever, from what I could see! I hope when I go in for my top surgery, I get a surgeon as good as yours.
if your top surgery is scheduled already, hope it goes well and you'll be well prepared for the recovery period :)
Good luck on your no tits journey!
You've done so much to care for your animals despite your nose surgery. I think that is very respectable and awesome. keep it up and slay.
Congratulations on your new ability to smell, Emily, and I'm glad the two surgeries went well. :) My mother went through surgery recently as well and after your first surgery, when you were shivering in the car, you reminded me of her. I just wanted to give you a warm blanket and a big hug. I also called my mom as I'd been hit in the feels. I'm glad you're alright. :)
Seeing so much of your faces rather than just your bodies... you are *beautiful* people. Like I've always seen you two as I do with anybody else who is beautiful in how they care for others or the animals under their care.
You are that, quite clearly, but you're gorgeous. Both of you. You have amazing and personable eyes and also just the clearest skin that makes me jealous.
You two are amazing. Genuinely, in every way. I have no idea what your nose looked like before, however, because I was too caught up in how pretty your eyes were
That whole car ride to surgery he just looked at her with so much love in his eyes every time.
(Not finished with the video yet, so it's possible I mention some things that get mentioned later on, but I just got to the part where Emily explains how the second surgery works and what they do that makes it invasive.)
This makes me never want to complain about my nose again. Surgery is my biggest fear and just hearing how they go about fixing a nose... hoo boi.
I used to have a lot of problems with my nose but then one day, last year I think, I had literally just walked into my friend's house and I felt something drip from my nose. I touched it and it was blood. I had NEVER had a nosebleed before so I was kind of panicking. Because this was a severe nose bleed. Like I was choking on blood, it was that bad. Not to mention I had to go to the ER because it just wouldn't stop. It lasted like 2 hours.
Ever since that day, I have been able to smell and breathe so much easier. I have no clue how it happened or what happened to make it do that, but I guess I had some kind of blockage that just hit its limit that day. I now get triggered anytime I smell fresh blood (like, if it's a lot of blood where there's a clear smell) because that was a very traumatic moment for me. I thought I was gonna choke on so much blood that I would die.
I'm just glad that my nose fixed itself that way and I didn't have to go through surgery. But I'm so glad yours was, eventually, successful ! Now you can smell all the "wonders" of working with reptiles lol. Also, imagine how much stronger the baby snake smell will be !!!
Also, I know you breed rats for feeding and I just gotta say... the baby rat smell is pretty top tier as well. Not to mention some rats can smell like very enjoyable things such as maple syrup, a bonfire, etc. I've had quite a few that smell like maple syrup lol. (Rat owner here, the bestie is the snake owner. I do not breed mine, they are solely pets.)
If you want a more in depth explanation of the procedure, I know Alex from Prettypastelplease has a series documenting how her first nose job went, and when she had to go in for her revision (like Emily did). She hasn't posted the 1 year update from the second operation yet, but it's really informative and she makes it fun and lighthearted. I suggest her specifically because she's an avid bird lover!
@@kellymartin2603 I don't like surgery or the talk of it lol. Surgery is my biggest fear.
@@CharmynoxI don't have a problem with surgery in general, but nose surgery specifically freaks me TF OUT
