"This chaos has a solution. Nobody has built it yet."
I've been through cosmetic surgery myself, a few times with different surgeons, and the care I received was excellent. But pre-op and post-op guidance felt fragmented. Important information lived across paperwork, emails, discharge notes, and phone calls, and I didn't want to miss any of it.
As a digital producer, I spend my career building systems that organize complexity and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Recovery needed that same kind of support.
My recovery also showed me how much caretakers carry too, especially when drains, medications, and healing routines become part of everyday life. We needed one shared place to track everything, understand what was normal, and feel more grounded throughout the process.
That's when I knew exactly what aela needed to be.
