So when I came out of the coma, after I came out, I was mentally and emotionally kind of euphoric because I felt that I understood.

I understood why I got sick.

I understood I had a purpose.

I was feeling euphoric.

And I started to tell everybody around me, I don't need the food tube.

I don't need the oxygen tube.

Because prior to that, I wasn't able to take a breath without the tube.

And what started to just happen organically was I was able to breathe.

The fluid in my lungs stopped accumulating because prior to that, I used to get the fluid drained every six weeks or so.

Brian was the one who used to drain the fluid before I was in the coma.

And suddenly the fluid stopped accumulating in my lungs.

And I got my appetite back.

I started to say, I can eat.

I don't mind eating.

And I'm just going to share this.

The first thing I wanted to eat was chocolate ice cream.

But everybody around me

was really surprised because within four days, I was ready to sit up in bed.

I didn't need the food tube anymore.

I was talking and was just so euphoric.
