What are the key life lessons Meredith Masony shares from her personal surgeries?

Meredith Masony shares several key life lessons from her personal experiences with surgeries:

1. Life is short, so don't postpone what you want to do.
2. You are stronger than you think.
3. Express your feelings to your family regularly.
4. If you work hard, you can achieve things beyond your dreams.
5. It's okay to ask for help; it doesn't make you weak.
6. Pursue your passion and love what you do.
7. Surround yourself with people who love you.
8. Rest when you need to; your body isn't a machine.
9. If you feel lost, work to find yourself. It's important to know who you are.
10. Take ownership of your life.

These lessons came from her experiences with multiple surgeries, including one to remove an esophageal tumor and another to repair a herniated surgical incision.
