Speaker 1: Hey it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
Speaker 1: put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
Speaker 1: share with you on our daily podcast through.
Speaker 2: Hey It's Delilah.
Speaker 1: You know when you're happy and you share it, or
Speaker 1: when you're blessed, When you have something good happen and
Speaker 1: you share it with others.
Speaker 2: Makes it all that much better. It does. When you
Speaker 2: see a beautiful vista, a beautiful view, When.
Speaker 1: You can share that with somebody, like in real time
Speaker 1: and real person, it's so much more beautiful. And if
Speaker 1: they're not there, when you take a picture and send
Speaker 1: it to them and say I'm thinking of you, I'm
Speaker 1: missing you, I wish you were here to enjoy this
Speaker 1: with me, makes it all the more special.
Speaker 2: Nicola, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3: I need to request the song. And there's a little
Speaker 3: bit of a story behind it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: When I was younger, I was really, really sick, to
Speaker 3: the point that when I was twenty, I had brain
Speaker 3: surgery to cure it. The doctors told me that it
Speaker 3: might get worse, I might get better, but not to
Speaker 3: expect a cure because it wasn't going to happen. And
Speaker 3: ten years later, the doctors are now telling me, don't
Speaker 3: come back. You're cured. So my life is totally different
Speaker 3: than when anybody expected. They thought that I was going
Speaker 3: to be dependent on the system for my entire life.
Speaker 3: How old are you now, a Naicola, I'm thirty.
Speaker 2: You're thirty now.
Speaker 1: So at twenty you decided you couldn't live with the
Speaker 1: condition that you had.
Speaker 2: Were you epileptic?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: I was, And actually the doctors decided that if I
Speaker 3: didn't have the surgery, I was just going to get
Speaker 3: worse and worse and worse. And I was already unable
Speaker 3: to work, unable to go to school.
Speaker 1: So really it was a choice between being really, really
Speaker 1: miserable or being less miserable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1: I have a friend named Stacy Lynn who have made
Speaker 1: that same choice, and she was only the second or
Speaker 1: third person to ever have the surgery, and you know,
Speaker 1: she said, what have I got to lose?
Speaker 2: I can't live like this.
Speaker 3: That was pretty much my choice. Was I either continue
Speaker 3: to live like this or I take the risk of
Speaker 3: not waking up, And the risk of not waking up
Speaker 3: was a better one. And here I am ten years later.
Speaker 3: I've got a job, I've got a good life. I
Speaker 3: volunteer on a regular basis. I do things on the side, extracurricular.
Speaker 3: Nobody ten years ago would have guessed that this is
Speaker 3: where I would be. But one of the side effects
Speaker 3: I had is I lost a lot of memories of
Speaker 3: my childhood.
Speaker 2: Well a lot of us try to do that.
Speaker 3: I know, but I don't really remember a lot about
Speaker 3: my brothers and my relationship. And we have an awesome relationship.
Speaker 3: Now that didn't That wasn't always the way it was.
Speaker 3: Right after my surgery, we actually grew apart, but now
Speaker 3: we're like best friends.
