Um, let them know that it's going to be okay.

But I first have to figure that out.

And then, um, the third goal, you know, it's funny.

I, all of a sudden I'm spacing the third goal as I'm sitting here.

Um, so it was, yeah, well, you'll have to read my book and you'll see what the third one is.

But I think, you know, the idea there is just that I needed something to feel in control of and to get me through that experience, something to look forward to.

Like I said, I would do this.

I said I would snowboard this year.

So I'm going to do that.

And so I was wheeled in.

They amputated my legs above the ankles.

And and then that was when a whole new I stepped into a whole new life and journey.

I did.

I snowboarded.

So I snowboarded about, I'd say, seven months after I lost my legs.

That was about four months after I got my prosthetics.

And it wasn't comfortable.

It was definitely – my ankles didn't move because –

your ankles can move so much.

You know, if you can imagine you keep your feet flat and you can bend your knees to the floor, right?
