Well, yeah, 50 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: it's it's horrible, but like you know, the pain, the 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: pains are such a high pain that you know your 52 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: body will do whatever its I know, and listen, I'm 53 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: like whatever somebody said, you know, put your finger here 54 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: and sniff this and look that while you do it. Yes, yeah, 55 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: exactly what that mean that anyway, So it's like a 56 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: whole time high. I was just pain to it says Okay, 57 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 1: I mean your your body and you and your mind 58 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: will do anything you can to take the pain away. 59 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: You know what's good about this, Joe? And nothing's good 60 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: about what you're going through right now. But you know, 61 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: I've had multiple surgeries, had my disc removed my back, 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I had an accident where I have a titanium rod 63 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: in my left leg and five screws. And what's good 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: is that you're not going to remember a lot of 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: this pain because you know, I know I was in 66 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: crazy pain. But I think you're still in kind of 67 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: a state of shock um right now because of the 68 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: trauma that's been put to your body. You know, to 69 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: go in there. And you know when you texted me 70 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: and your your wife did too, about this was the 71 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: worst shredded tendon this doctor had ever seen in her 72 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: years of performing this surgery. And I didn't know you 73 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: had to have your ankles. You're like parts of your 74 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,559 Speaker 1: bone shaved down and this and that this is a major, 75 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: major surgery, man, And it's what's good is that you're 76 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: gonna get through it and you're going to have, you know, 77 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: freedom of movement that you haven't had in years. And listen, 78 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: I thought when I had my disc removement d L 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: five because it was ruptured on my sciatic nerve, thank 80 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: you radio stunt gun, horribly freaking bad um. And then 81 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: with the leg thing, I have more movement that I've 82 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: had in decades. So it's about stretching, it's about your 83 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: physical therapy, and your your wife obviously knows all about this, 84 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: that's what she does. You're in good hands there, buddy, 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: I'm just sorry you're going through this. Man, And listen, Joe, 86 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: believe me.
