And I remember saying to my wife, can you hear it?

It's so loud in here.

And she's like,

It is completely and utterly silent, right at the lip, to the point where I told the doctor, please, no more ketamine, regardless of what it takes.

But then they went and did the surgery.

All of that to say, the more open and honest I was, the better it got.

In that time where I was trying to not share that or not talk about the pain, it was still just as real for me, but there was no benefit in being quiet like that.

And I think that that's something that people can, in my life, and I'm not sure yours,

Every time I verbalized pain or grief or struggle, surrounded by people willing to help out, why not talk about it?

The potential downside, if you look at it purely from a physical perspective, was me suffering for a few more hours because I'm an idiot.

She's got me figured out.

It's everything up to a point.

She's like, nope, we're going to go ahead and take the wheel from here.

You are either one of their people or you're one of their enemies.

Is that you?

I'm probably his favorite person.

You don't strike me that way.

I am inherently distrustful of human beings just based off my own personal experience.

All human beings.

Not all human beings.
