5
00:00:28,525 --> 00:00:31,245
Speaker 1: morning whether you're a caffeine drinker or like me, you're

6
00:00:31,285 --> 00:00:36,004
Speaker 1: a tea drinker. But we've been on like a lot

7
00:00:36,005 --> 00:00:38,405
Speaker 1: of Australian radio shows on a break for just a

8
00:00:38,445 --> 00:00:42,765
Speaker 1: short one in Australian radio, just a cheek it four

9
00:00:42,805 --> 00:00:46,125
Speaker 1: weeks and these marks haven't been cleaned in four weeks.

10
00:00:46,725 --> 00:00:49,965
Speaker 1: I'm drinking that tea and I'm drinking I think I'm

11
00:00:50,004 --> 00:00:52,965
Speaker 1: gonna be I think I'm to become a super brother.

12
00:00:54,165 --> 00:00:57,084
Speaker 1: That ain't right. No, the drink is talking to me.

13
00:00:58,125 --> 00:01:02,605
Speaker 1: There's something from Stranger Things bonus episode of what's in

14
00:01:02,645 --> 00:01:05,805
Speaker 1: this mug? Yeah, it is rough. I saw it. That

15
00:01:06,005 --> 00:01:09,405
Speaker 1: taste funky, guys, I'm calling it now if I grow

16
00:01:09,405 --> 00:01:13,325
Speaker 1: a second head by Friday, that mug of tea. I'm

17
00:01:13,365 --> 00:01:17,125
Speaker 1: surprised they went with that mug for your first tea

18
00:01:17,125 --> 00:01:19,205
Speaker 1: of the day because I saw that some morning is

19
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:22,805
Speaker 1: trying to take me out of the game, Rusty. That

20
00:01:23,205 --> 00:01:26,005
Speaker 1: is not good. I would say I have my Monday Winner,

21
00:01:26,405 --> 00:01:28,285
Speaker 1: and I would say, actually, more importantly, my twenty one

22
00:01:28,365 --> 00:01:31,125
Speaker 1: year old daughter Ruby is a Monday Winner. So last year,

23
00:01:31,165 --> 00:01:33,164
Speaker 1: my twenty one year old daughter Ruby had a terrible,

24
00:01:33,245 --> 00:01:35,325
Speaker 1: terrible year. She had some kind of thing going on

25
00:01:35,365 --> 00:01:37,845
Speaker 1: with the back and she couldn't walk more than five

26
00:01:37,925 --> 00:01:39,525
Speaker 1: or ten minutes. She need to stop and sit down,

27
00:01:39,885 --> 00:01:42,045
Speaker 1: and she's I think at one point she'd had five

28
00:01:42,325 --> 00:01:45,405
Speaker 1: MRI scans, which is a lot in a year. Different

29
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:47,445
Speaker 1: consultants saying, we think it's this, we think it's the

30
00:01:47,485 --> 00:01:50,045
Speaker 1: sacra dio. She would show up to all this physio

31
00:01:50,285 --> 00:01:52,965
Speaker 1: she just was not getting better. And then someone recommended

32
00:01:53,005 --> 00:01:55,805
Speaker 1: somebody in December, and you know, bless her, she kept

33
00:01:55,845 --> 00:01:58,965
Speaker 1: showing up to all these appointments tirelessly and then she

34
00:01:59,085 --> 00:02:01,005
Speaker 1: just this amazing guy just said, it's none of that.

35
00:02:01,045 --> 00:02:02,925
Speaker 1: You were never going to get better. It's this the

36
00:02:03,005 --> 00:02:05,285
Speaker 1: region of the spine haven't even heard of Have any

37
00:02:05,285 --> 00:02:07,925
Speaker 1: of us heard of the multifidous region. I'm not familiar.

38
00:02:08,565 --> 00:02:10,445
Speaker 1: It's lower in the spine and there are a load

39
00:02:10,445 --> 00:02:12,845
Speaker 1: of muscles and nerves that are very hard to activate.

40
00:02:12,845 --> 00:02:15,565
Speaker 1: And so if you have a bad back, the pain

41
00:02:15,645 --> 00:02:18,965
Speaker 1: receptors turn off the nerves so they go to sleep,

42
00:02:18,965 --> 00:02:21,405
Speaker 1: and so she's had a year of bad back. Those

43
00:02:21,445 --> 00:02:25,925
Speaker 1: nerves aren't being activated through just exercise. So she went

44
00:02:25,965 --> 00:02:29,805
Speaker 1: into hospituiously five minutes from here, and the surgeon said

45
00:02:29,805 --> 00:02:31,845
Speaker 1: to her, do you know what the wonders of medicine? Ruby,

46
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:33,885
Speaker 1: we can I can fix you. Ten years ago I

47
00:02:33,925 --> 00:02:35,565
Speaker 1: would have said there's nothing we can do. You've got

48
00:02:35,605 --> 00:02:37,525
Speaker 1: to go back to physio. And I really hope you

49
00:02:37,525 --> 00:02:40,085
Speaker 1: can stimulate them, but it's going to take time. She

50
00:02:40,325 --> 00:02:43,485
Speaker 1: had yesterday, she had this thing fitted. It's incredible. Actually

51
00:02:43,805 --> 00:02:46,885
Speaker 1: it's the size of a pacemaker. So it inserted it

52
00:02:46,965 --> 00:02:50,805
Speaker 1: in her back yesterday and there are two electrodes attached

53
00:02:50,845 --> 00:02:54,405
Speaker 1: to it and then on an app she will then

54
00:02:54,565 --> 00:02:57,885
Speaker 1: turn on this device twice a day for half an

55
00:02:57,925 --> 00:03:01,044
Speaker 1: hour and it will stimulate the nerves that are so

56
00:03:01,125 --> 00:03:05,005
Speaker 1: hard to reach and stimulate the neural pathways from her

57
00:03:05,005 --> 00:03:08,445
Speaker 1: brain to her down where they are to reconnect to

58
00:03:08,965 --> 00:03:11,445
Speaker 1: It takes about six months and have supervised visio, but

59
00:03:11,805 --> 00:03:13,965
Speaker 1: hopefully in three to six months ago while this guy

60
00:03:14,005 --> 00:03:16,525
Speaker 1: said you'll be fine man, and shall have it for

61
00:03:16,565 --> 00:03:18,845
Speaker 1: the next couple of years in her and obviously it's

62
00:03:18,885 --> 00:03:20,445
Speaker 1: a lot for her to get her head around at

63
00:03:20,485 --> 00:03:22,965
Speaker 1: twenty one and a mom and dad like, what what

64
00:03:23,005 --> 00:03:25,805
Speaker 1: do you mean? A pacemaker inserting in her back? So

65
00:03:25,885 --> 00:03:28,085
Speaker 1: now she has a special piece of paper if she

66
00:03:28,165 --> 00:03:31,325
Speaker 1: goes to an airport scanner, because obviously there's now going

67
00:03:31,325 --> 00:03:32,925
Speaker 1: to someone's going to go, what the hell is that

68
00:03:33,445 --> 00:03:36,845
Speaker 1: small pouch in your back with some electrodes coming up

69
00:03:36,965 --> 00:03:43,045
Speaker 1: a bit? You're bionic. It's incredible now what science can do.

70
00:03:44,005 --> 00:03:46,045
Speaker 1: And so we were there all day with her yesterday

71
00:03:46,205 --> 00:03:50,165
Speaker 1: and to cheer my daughter's up. Pringles just hail kids. Ah.

72
00:03:50,605 --> 00:03:53,125
Speaker 1: I turned up as a kind of second support yesterday

73
00:03:53,125 --> 00:03:55,565
Speaker 1: afternoon and straight I just opened up before and said like,

74
00:03:55,565 --> 00:03:57,205
Speaker 1: I started opening up the pringles and I was feeding

75
00:03:57,245 --> 00:03:59,245
Speaker 1: them and she was like and she she was like,

76
00:03:59,285 --> 00:04:01,085
Speaker 1: my wife said, that's the first time we've seen her smiles.

77
00:04:01,085 --> 00:04:04,685
Speaker 1: So that she's going out that sometimes springles our nature's

78
00:04:04,685 --> 00:04:07,845
Speaker 1: great heater. And al said, then they stink out hospital

79
00:04:07,845 --> 00:04:14,685
Speaker 1: ward other people someone's I think it's the dad. Oh yeah,

80
00:04:14,805 --> 00:04:18,164
Speaker 1: they just savor it. Don't go for the really sulted bland,

81
00:04:18,284 --> 00:04:20,885
Speaker 1: especially just come out of a general anesthetic. I always

82
00:04:20,885 --> 00:04:24,445
Speaker 1: say that when you come out of general. I've seen

83
00:04:24,485 --> 00:04:28,125
Speaker 1: twenty two seasons of Great Anatomy, and then because my

84
00:04:28,484 --> 00:04:32,365
Speaker 1: daughter and I we watch we we've been watching Grace forever.

85
00:04:32,765 --> 00:04:34,924
Speaker 1: We're up to speed. We're still watching new episodes now

86
00:04:34,964 --> 00:04:38,085
Speaker 1: every week and season twenty two. It doesn't help when

87
00:04:38,085 --> 00:04:41,085
Speaker 1: suddenly you're in hospitals. Oh it's not like Gray's in that,

88
00:04:41,565 --> 00:04:45,164
Speaker 1: but that's that's our documentary. Sweetheart, where's the little thing

89
00:04:45,205 --> 00:04:47,484
Speaker 1: you can just press to get drugs? Thank you having

90
00:04:48,125 --> 00:04:50,604
Speaker 1: to adults these days, to anyone else for good reason.

91
00:04:50,804 --> 00:04:54,205
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'd hook myself a little bit tired in the

92
00:04:54,205 --> 00:04:57,164
Speaker 1: middle afternoon, back on breakfast hours after a short break.
