Mm

... was constant lymphatic pooling there.
7:16
So I just didn't really put two and two together.
7:19
So then she said, "That's what my doctor kind of brought up to me, and I was curious about it." So I reached out to the provider, and he was like, "Tyler, I really think this is what this is," but I'm looking, and h- he's one of the providers that I continue to use.
7:35
He was all about trying to identify how to help this patient.
7:39
So I was like, "All right.
7:40
Well, let's, let's do this." So he told me that there was the conservative therapy for the provider that, like, the surgeon for the lymphatic sparing liposuction.

8 MINS LATER

15:40
Yeah.
41:59
So what is it like to throw this sort of element into what Focus does at a campus like Drake in reaction to a sort of change of plans, as it were?
42:10
Yeah, exactly.
42:11
I think in some ways, you know, your hope is that you bring students on campus to the student center to be able to find community.
42:17
And instead, we won't have that ability to.
42:19
And so in a lot of ways, our work doesn't stop in getting to go on to campus.
42:23
In some ways, we're going to have even more availability to encounter students on campus because we're spending so much time on campus again.
42:29
So inviting students to really take their mission seriously in wanting to do outreach to their peers, to be able to meet their classmates, to give a public display of faith in the way in which we're able to now say Mass on campus, the way in which we're able to pray on campus.
46:59
So Tyler, looking forward to this year, what are some of the things you hope to carry from before the flood into the new situation?
2:55
Uh, so what is it like to, to throw this sort of element into what FOCUS does, uh, at a, at a campus like Drake, um, in re- re- reaction to a, a, a sort of change of plans as it were?
3:07
Yeah, exactly.
3:07
I think in, in some ways, you know, your hope is that you bring students on campus to, to the student center to be able to find community, and instead we won't have that ability to.
3:15
And so in a lot of ways, our, our work doesn't stop in getting to go onto campus.
3:19
Uh, in some ways we're gonna have even more availability to encounter students on campus 'cause we're m- spending so much time on campus again.
3:25
So inviting students to really, uh, take, take their, their, their, um, mission seriously in wanting to do outreach to their peers, to be able to meet their classmates, to give a, a public display of faith in the way in which we're able to now, say, mass on campus, the way in which we're able to, to pray on campus.
3:40
And then Bible studies don't stop.
8:28
Mm-hmm.
